The Young Greens are now the largest youth political movement in the UK, with over 45,000 members! Young people are craving hope and change, and they're finding it in the Green Party. ๐Ÿ’š

Legalising and regulating drugs is about reducing the harm and deaths caused by drug use, and treating addicts rather than criminalsing them. It is appalling that Labour and Reform are playing politics with people's lives.

The Green Party calls on Starmer to call out our allies acting like rogue states and defying international law.

Illegal bombing is not the way to help the people of Iran, or to maintain global security. We must not be complicit in any way. We must call for rapid de-escalation.

Hope must beat hate. That's why we're doing our absolute best to make sure Hannah Spencer beats Reform's Matt Goodwin and becomes our 5th Green MP this Thursday! Still time to do your bit and head up to Gorton and Denton for the final campaign stretch. I will see you on polling day!

Council elections are back on in Sussex, and together we can win big.

We have 3x as many members as we did in September, and we're absolutely surging in the polls. Let's get as many Greens elected as possible this May!

Extremely happy to be welcoming Cllr Brett Wright, who has defected to the Green Party from the Lib Dems on East Sussex County Council! We've had dozens of councillors defecting since May - more and more people are realising that the Greens are the future of progressive politics.

What a day! HUNDREDS of members were out yesterday to make sure the brilliant Hannah Spencer gets elected in Gorton and Denton. ๐Ÿ’š

It's clear that the choice here is between Reform and the Greens. We have 25 days to prove that hope can win. Action days are super fun, join us at our next one!

All politicians do walking at/with a camera films, but *sprinting* directly at a camera that keeps up is a whole new genre (!)

Take South East Water into public ownership NOW South East Water has failed households in Kent and Sussex. It is time to bring it into public ownership.

Water privatisation has failed

South East Water spent more on shareholder dividends than on infrastructure

Now the taps aren't working in Kent and Sussex

Emma Reynolds and Ofwat, bring South East Water into public ownership immediately

Lib Dem councillor defects to Green Party 'for one main reason' BCP Green Party has gained its first councillor in Poole after defections from Liberal Democrat party.

Greens are getting about two defections a week since @zackpolanski.bsky.social @rachelmillward.bsky.social & @mothinali.bsky.social became new leadership team. Most defections have come from Labour. But it's great to see a former Lib Dem come across as well www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2576904...
