This is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet? | Aditya Chakrabortty The news that healthy life expectancy is in decline in Britain exposes a serious truth about the state we’re in, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

“British governments have made choices that mean poorer children get old sooner and die earlier than richer children”

It doesn’t have to be this way – it’s time to focus on health and happiness not just growth and wealth

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

Attacks on migrants and islamophobia echo the same attacks on migrants and antisemitism from 100 years ago

It’s the same old lies repeated – are you falling into the same old trap of believing them?

The Green Party has been consistent on our position.

We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.

And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.

My grandfather narrowly avoided death under the Iranian regime. But I am not celebrating Trump’s illegal war | Anonymous While I do not speak for the Australian-Iranian diaspora as a whole, I am gravely concerned for what this attack will cost in innocent lives

Killing civilians is wrong – by their own Government or any other

And don’t claim you care about the lives and rights of the Iranian people while you still refuse their right to claim asylum and live safely in your own country

This is only one poll, but it would mean Greens winning Croydon East, Streatham and Croydon North, and possibly Croydon West as well

I understand why women don't trust the police, says Met chief on Sarah Everard anniversary On the fifth anniversary of Everard's murder, Sir Mark Rowley insists rebuilding trust in the force will take time.

5 years since the murder of Sarah Everard. 3 years since the Casey review. 2 months since the report showing reduced vetting in recruitment

Women and girls, and everyone else, cannot feel safe while the Met continues to employ people who are a threat

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

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
