Mental health doesn't take a day off.

The Green Party is committed to ensuring mental health and physical health care are equally prioritised.

That means funding major improvements in mental health care - so that all of us can access the support we need, whenΒ weΒ needΒ it.

Green turtle bounces back from brink in conservation 'win' Once endangered due to hunting, it is making a strong recovery thanks to global conservation efforts.

Conservation efforts bring Green Turtles back from the brink

As we continue to exploit and pollute our world, over 170,000 species are now endangered and nearly 50,000 of them are at risk of extinction

We can save them, but we have to #ActNow

Croydon Council declared a climate emergency in 2019 and has done virtually nothing since – despite getting Β£millions they could have spent on improvements

As @pwea.bsky.social asks, why are Conservatives and Labour ignoring one of our greatest threats?

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

We are being left behind - as most of the world moves to cheap clean renewable energy, the UK along with Europe and the US are still stuck with expensive filthy fossil fuels

The future will be bright if the future is Green

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

Can Zack Polanski's Greens turn momentum into power? Under their new leader, the Green Party has hit levels of membership - but can his approach win over voters?

Reform rose in the polls with a politics of despair and hate

The @greenparty.org.uk is rising in the polls with a politics of hope and community

Which do you want to see in power? Your choice
