Conservatives claim they are different to Labour but here is another dodgy deal that ends up losing even more money

We need a thorough investigation of all of these secret deals and as Mayor I will open up the Council so we can all see what is being done with our money

A tweet from Keir Starmer on 12 February 2020 with number 4 of his 10 pledges The tweet says: No more illegal wars. Introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice. Below this is a red graphic with the words 4. Promote peace and human rights. No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice. Below this is Keir Starmer’s signature.

Keir Starmer lied to us and Labour are showing again that they are the party of warmongers and cowards

Our Government is sacrificing innocent people just because they are too scared to stand up to Trump

UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer The prime minister says it remains the case that the UK will

Keir the coward refuses to stand up for decency and humanity

He is allowing the UK to be bullied into supporting another illegal war and the slaughter of thousands of innocent people

Trump's bet on Iranian regime change could be his biggest gamble yet The US president may be forced to wage a political battle at home while presiding over a new war in the Middle East.

Person stood in front of a billboard that says "only Labour can stop Reform"

Will we see this lie again?

@greenparty.org.uk has shown that we can not only 'stop Reform' we can also replace Labour with politicians who will really change things for the better

If people come together we can change things for the better

There is hope

Join us and help make it happen here: Join.greenparty.org.uk

As Owen says, @greenparty.org.uk has shown that if people come together we can reject the failure of Labour and the hatred from the far-right

There's now going to be a huge backlash from the rich and powerful because they're really scared that people have a real opportunity for change

Green Party wins Gorton and Denton by-election, pushing Labour into third place Labour, which took the seat with more than 50% of the vote in 2024, came behind Reform UK.

Congratulations Hannah Spencer and thanks to all the voters of Gorton and Denton who chose hope - if people work together, we can change things for the better

Wherever we live we can choose a happier, greener, and hope-filled politics

I will never forget the collective hand wringing and self flagellation by labour councillors, pretending they had "no choice" but to approve council takes hikes when Greens and Lib Dems both ACTIVELY OPPOSED IT.

Labour are not your friends.

Don't get distracted by all the noise and shouting in politics.

Listen out for the positive voices, the people who really care and are trying to change things for the better.

Water should be back in public hands

We want a service for the public, not companies poisoning us for profit

MPs openly criticising Andrew reflects shift in tradition In the Commons, MPs shared their personal experiences of meeting the former prince – all of them were resoundingly negative.

In a democracy we should all be treated equally and all work to the same laws

Government members should be elected by us and government officials should be recruited openly and fairly

It’s time to end the monarchy’s legal loopholes and role in Government

Rubbish and recycling: Can London finally clean up its act? The capital's recycling rate has been stuck at 33% for more than a decade.

Improving recycling is a must but reducing waste is more important

We must reduce companies making and handing out so many single use, unrepairable, and unreturnable products – that takes Government action, not just leaving Councils to clean up the mess

Sign the Petition Cancel Croydon’s Debt

My union @unison.org.uk, who represent many of the staff in Croydon Council, are calling on the Government to cancel the debt

Bromley residents catch 1,000 speeding drivers in neighbourhood Drivers speed along quiet roads in Bromley but nothing is being done to stop them, locals say.

As main roads grind to a halt, more drivers choose to speed down our residential streets. This not only increases noise and pollution, it puts lives at risk

We need to get serious about reducing traffic and designing streets to keep people safe

1000 councillors pledge to sever authority's ties to Israel ahead of key elections More than 1000 councillors have pledged support for Palestine ahead of local elections across England in May

In Croydon, only the Green Party Councillors have committed to end the Council’s involvement in the genocide in Gaza

Why won’t the other parties take a stand for peace and justice?

Housing sector leaders call for action to fill empty homes Estimates suggest more than a million homes in England are currently unoccupied.

We need homes for people, not properties for investors

The Government must give Councils more power and money to buy up empty properties and bring them back into use as social housing

High energy prices threaten UK’s status as manufacturing power, business groups say CBI and Energy UK report finds 40% of firms have cut investment as electricity costs remain far above pre-Ukraine levels

Power to the people

Leaving our energy sector in the hands of exploitative private buisnesses means we struggle to pay our over-priced bills and so do the companies we work for

We need a publicly owned renewable energy company to bring prices down

Why fake AI videos of UK urban decline are taking over social media Deepfakes showing grim taxpayer-funded waterparks have gone viral and drawn some racist responses.

Campaign ‘delight’ as developers’ Glamorgan appeal is refused Addiscombe residents are celebrating the Planning Inspector’s decision to refuse an appeal brought by developers who want to demolish the Glamorgan pub on Cherry Orchard Road. The appeal was …

The current and previous Governments’ obsession with letting developers build properties for profit instead of homes people need, means no space (green or brown) is safe

The BBC’s Lord of the Flies shows why diverse casting doesn’t always work | Darren Chetty William Golding’s classic tale is about civilisation, ‘savagery’ and empire – can a colour-blind cast do that justice, asks writer and academic Darren Chetty

A key theme of Lord of the Flies is that the white upper classes are really more nasty and savage than the people they look down on - especially in the racist views of empire

The Epstein files are just another example of how true this really is

Congratualtions Aasiya and Leicester Greens

Andrew arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office The former prince remains in custody while searches take place in Norfolk and Berkshire.

Why do we still live in a society where some people have positions of power just because of their parents?

A fair and democratic society must end the monarchy’s role in government and the loopholes that let them ignore the laws the rest of us follow
