Big polluters, climate deniers, and oil and gas interests have donated millions to Reform.

Why? Because they trust them.

But we don't. The Green Party is taking on Reform and their corporate backers - because we know whose interests they serve.

Are you with us?

Increasing refugee homelessness.

All the result of cruel political decisions by the old parties.

The 99% have more in common with someone seeking safety and community than with the billionaires pointing the finger.

A new report indicates that zero net migration would shrink the UK economy by 3.6% and likely force an increase in taxes, as well as being cruel, inhuman and impractical.

Migration is good for our country. Inequality is the problem. Tax the super-rich.

The Green Party want to see stricter regulations on gambling to reduce harm.

Starmer has little to offer voters of either right or left in Gorton and Denton. Thatโ€™s why heโ€™s facing a perfect storm | Owen Jones The Greens are buoyant as Labour struggles. After shredding any semblance of a progressive agenda, fear of Reform is all the PMโ€™s party has left, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Labour took votes for granted.

They've blown it.

A report from @jrf-uk.bsky.social shows UK poverty is 'deeper and more damaging than any point in last 30 years' - citing the government's lack of urgency and direction.
Poverty is a political choice - Labour have chosen austerity over addressing inequality by taxing extreme wealth fairly.

Decent homes standard for UK private renters delayed by government until 2035 Campaigners pushing for 2030 deadline said deferral was โ€˜denying renters the most basic standards in our homesโ€™

WHY is this government content to leave private renters stuck in homes not fit for habitation for another DECADE?

The state of private rented homes is appalling. Renters deserve better than this disappointment from Labour.

Trump's "Board of Peace" is expected to include Blair, Putin and Netanyahu - but not a single Palestinian.
