The 26 MPs who voted against proscribing Palestine Action MPS have voted to declare Palestine Action a proscribed group.

All 4 Green MPs voted against proscribing Palestinian Action. Protest is not terrorism and to conflate the two sets a dangerous precedent www.thenational.scot/news/2528514...

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ Stop the weapons. Start the sanctions.

The UK government is actively aiding the Gaza genocide. Welsh politicians must do more to challenge them.

I'm proud to join campaigners today for the red line around the Senedd.

Today, MPs got a letter from Liz Kendall with the Government's panicked proposals for a two-tier disability benefits system, harsher and meaner to people who fall sick or disabled after Nov 2026. Not acceptable - Green MPs will vote against the Bill tomorrow #TakingThePIP #WelfareBill

Balancing the books on the backs of the most vulnerable is not acceptable.

Cruel austerity driven cuts are not inevitable.

Poverty is a political choice.

Thanks to all involved in organising today's Environment Bill event at the Pierhead and all who contributed to this timely and important discussion.

Going forward, the need for urgency around nature and biodiversity targets is clear.

The consensus is clear. A majority of people believe it was wrong for us to leave the European Union, and that's why our movement is growing. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ

Farage's Reform want to allow the super-rich to buy their way out of paying UK tax for just Β£250k.

This would cost the country an estimated Β£34 billion in lost revenue.

Rather than exempting the wealthiest, the Green Party would tax them properly to help fix our public services.

Nine years ago today the UK voted to leave the EU.

Since then our economy has shrunk, our creative industries have been damaged and our freedoms curtailed.

Now is the time to be having mature conversations about rejoining the EU and repairing the damage done by Brexit.

This is the reality behind all the Welsh Labour MPs talk of 'Partnership in Power' and 'A Labour govt at both ends of the M4'

Wales should be 'A little bit more grateful' for the continued absence of a fair funding settlement.

Westminster isn't working.
Wales deserves better.

Thanks to the organisers for bringing together such a large group of people passionate about protecting nature and the environment.

Time for Vale of Glamorgan councillors to listen and engage.

Farage to pledge to 'reopen' Port Talbot steelworks Emily PriceΒ  Reform UK leader Nigel Farage will visit Port Talbot today where he will pledge to β€œreopen” the Tata Steel plant if his party wins the next Senedd election. The largest steelmaking plant ...

"We’ll hear a lot more of these promises from this gang of snake oil salesmen.”

Farage is chasing headlines, not offering real hope.

Great to speak to Josiah - our communities won't be fooled by cynical nostalgia. We need a green industrial revolution.

Next May there are huge elections in Wales for the Senedd.

A failing Labour administration - and a moment for the Green Party to offer a genuine alternative. Pob lwc!

I'm really honoured to have the backing of Wales Green leader @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social at this crucial moment.
