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, whenย weย needย it.

A record 1,611 people โ€” including 11 children โ€” died while homeless in 2024.

Both Labour and the Conservatives have failed to fix Britainโ€™s housing crisis.

A home is not a privilege.
A home is a human right.

As revealed by Channel 4 Newsโ€™ documentary, UK arms exports to Israel have hit record highs โ€” ยฃ408,000 in June and ยฃ316,000 in September.

The government says itโ€™s restricting sales, but the data says otherwise.

The UK must end all arms sales to Israel now.

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents โ€“ 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.

The bravery of the Global Sumud Flotilla puts our cowardly Government to shame.

Civilian volunteers were attempting to deliver food, baby formula, and medicine to Gaza because our Government has failed to end the genocide.

The Government must intervene to ensureย theirย safety.

Green Party councillor steps down - by-election expected A council byelection is expected in a North Somerset village after its Green councillor announced he was stepping down.

Stuart McQuillan has resigned as councillor for Long Ashton ward, and is backing local campaigner and Parish Councillor Mike Dunn to replace him.

We thank Stuart for his enormous hard work for the ward over the last six years, and wish him and his family well as they move away from the local area.

I am writing to you with urgency regarding the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which is currently attempting to bring desperately needed aid to Gaza. The flotilla is made up of 52 boats, carrying humanitarian supplies and peace activists determined to support civilians facing unimaginable suffering.

Reports have already emerged of explosions, unidentified objects being dropped near the vessels, drones circling overhead, and communications being jammed. These are deeply concerning developments. We know from past experience that when Israel smears peace activists with unfounded claims of links to Hamas, it is often a precursor to violent attacks.
