US and Israeli strikes on Iran are hugely dangerous: irresponsible, provocative and illegal. Starmer must call out these so-called β€˜allies’ - who are acting as rogue states - and use all UK levers to uphold international law.

Exeter Greens challenge Stagecoach over 'steep' city bus fare hikes Exeter Greens challenge Stagecoach over steep bus fare hikes as operator defends its new pricing structure and prepares for electric vehicle rollout

β€œIt’s clear that a lack of ambition by Stagecoach to increase passenger numbers is bypassed by an easier route to generate profits. So if they can carry 10 passengers paying Β£5 each rather than 20 passengers paying Β£2 each, they'll carry fewer passengers if this means more revenue.”

⚠️EXPOSED ⚠️
New 'Greater Exeter area' bus fares structure, billed as offering passengers 'better value', actually means massive fares hikes for Exeter residents.
Green cllrs have met Stagecoach South West's boss and called on him to review bus fare hikes & reintroduce the child Β£1 add-on ticket.

Full press release.
Cllr Andy Ketchin: "The grounds of County Hall are much cherished; they provide a precious and historic green space within the city. Devon County’s own officers have argued against this particular development as it damages the setting of the listed Coaver House."

Exeter council elections restored after major government U-turn Labour could lose control of Exeter City Council when 13 of its 39 seats are contested.

@dianafmoore.bsky.social said voting was "a right, not a privilege".

"Denying millions of people their right to vote was a dangerous decision. One I am sure Labour will come to regret on 7 May.

"Green candidates are ready to step up to become councillors and serve our communities."

Greens have consistently said these elections should go ahead and led a coordinated campaign with other opposition parties to lobby the government to do the right thing. Now they have.

People will now have their say on who will best represent them in their ward and who runs Exeter City Council.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.
