Do we need a pact on the left?

All Green policy is voted through by Green membership.

That means if you want to see cooperation happen, you can join the Greens and make it happen.

Great to get support from @mothinali.bsky.social after his first speech as deputy leader of the Greens!

Mothin has been a shining example of the anti-racist organisation we need to beat back the far-right ✊🏼✊🏾

"Enormous congratulations to Zack on his election as Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales! Commiserations to Ellie and Adrian on a hard-fought campaign. 

Through his powerful campaign, Zack has already inspired hundreds of thousands up and down country. His bold vision of fighting inequality and his principled defence of migrant and minority rights against the rising far-right tide show the way forward. Only by working together can we build an economy working for people and planet, not profit.

We are heartened by Zack's support for unity on the left, and his embrace of all those willing to fight Reform and offer a clear alternative to this rotten Labour government. We look forward to working with Zack and the newly-elected Green executive to build this strong and united Left and turn the tide of British politics."

Huge congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on his election as the Leader of the Green Party!

Zack's energetic campaign has already inspired hundreds of thousands with his bold vision of tackling inequality.

We look forward to working with Zack to build a strong & united Left πŸ’ͺ

The world's top genocide scholars are clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

But the Labour Government continues to arm, trade with, meet with and support the Israeli state committing these crimes against humanity.

Starmer, Lammy & co belong in the Hague.

From newspapers to politicians, the British Right are celebrating the racist demonisation of people seeking refuge.

Meanwhile, grannies are arrested for opposing genocide and they don't say a word.

They don't care about free speech and they don't care about freedom.

Yvette Cooper admitted that Israel is committing crimes against humanity in Gaza.

No 10's response: she was speaking "generally".

The Labour Government is actively complicit in genocide - and it knows it.

πŸ“’ Our Statement: the Left Must Unite πŸ“’

If the new Left Party, Independents and the Greens work together, we can turn the tide of British politics - and win.

We will now campaign tirelessly for an electoral pact. United we stand, divided we fall.

Let's unite the Left.

Will Labour renationalise water? Cap bills? Make shareholders pay?

No, they're just replacing the regulator.

We deserve better.

Keir Starmer used Enoch Powell's words to stoke fear of migrants & those of migrant backgrounds.

He published triumphant videos of deportations.

He's been condemned for his mistreatment of Black MPs.

It's Keir Starmer who should be kicked out of Parliament, not Diane Abbott.

In Starmer's Labour, you can arm a genocide. You can attack the poor. You can take bribes. You can stoke bigotry. You can do all this and be promoted to high office.

But if you oppose cuts to the disabled & elderly, you'll get suspended.

A morally bankrupt party.

So last night Rachel Reeves promised to rip up financial regulations.

She said the wealth would 'trickle down'.

We deserve better than these red Tories.

Thames Water are imposing hosepipe bans across England. Meanwhile they:

- paid out over Β£7bn to shareholders since privatisation
- lost 200bn litres of water last year alone through leaks
- are set to hike bills by over a third

Nationalise Thames Water without compensation.

NEW: YouGov poll finds 75% of voter back a wealth tax on those with over Β£10m.

But still the Labour Government refuses.

Wealth tax now!

Every single Green & Independent MP voted against Starmer’s callous & chaotic disability cuts.

More than 300 Labour MPs voted in favour.

That's the difference.

Labour are criminalising those standing up for Palestine as terrorists.

Green & Independent MPs are defending the right to protest.

That's the difference.

The Labour Government arms a terrorist state committing a genocide evike starting illegal wars.

Then it criminalises ordinary people protesting this complicity.

Orwellian.

NEW: Labour are pushing through massive cuts to welfare for disabled people.

Three MILLION people are set to lose out. On average, Personal Independence Payment recipients will lose Β£4,500 *each*.

Labour attacks the disabled, while the super-rich laugh their way to the bank. We deserve better.

Cuts to communities. Cuts to transport. Cuts to culture. Cuts to environmental support.

Austerity lives on, now with a red rosette.

The economic change we need:

🏫 investment in our public services, not more cuts
⚑️ renationalise energy & water, slash bills
🏘 mass building of social housing, not bungs for developers
🏒 rent controls
πŸ’° taxes on the super-rich

Ben-Gvir and Smotrich are just saying out loud what the entirety of the Israeli state are working towards: ethnic cleansing & genocide.

For as long as Britain continues to arm, trade with & support Israel, our government will be complicit.

Full embargo now!
