Prince Andrew is accused of appalling sexual abuse. He told Jeffrey Epstein “we’re in this together”. He pushed the police for personal information about his accuser.

Yet he STILL holds his royal titles.

🤯 The government have announced that university tuition fees in England will increase every year in line with inflation from 2026.

🧑🎓 Education should be a right, not a privilege.

💚 That's why the Green Party would scrap tuition fees altogether.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE
STOP TUITION FEES!

He's a pro-Israel propagandist. He's not Jewish.

He works for a right-wing pro-Israel organisation.

He's posted vile things about Palestinian kids shot by Israeli soldiers.

But Sky News presented him as an ordinary Jewish football fan subjected to online hatred.

💰 Last year Labour's turnover was over £90m and the Tories' was over £50m, while ours was £5m.

📈 We must close this gap quickly if we are to replace Labour for good and take the fight to Reform.

The war is not over yet. The bombing is still ongoing. The situation is still difficult.
I am still displaced. My city, Rafah, has not been liberated yet. It is under the control of the army.

More outrage over a ban on Israeli football hooligans than there is over Israel wiping Gaza from the face of the earth.

Silloth-on-Solway, Cumbria. Looking out to sea across the Solway Firth past the groyne marker towards Criffel Hill, Scotland.

A coastal view at Silloth-on-Solway, Cumbria on a cloudy January day looking across a calm Solway Firth towards Criffel Hill, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland.
In the foreground the flat calm sea almost covers a wooden groyne on the left. It runs down into the sea until it is submerged and at the end of it is a groyne marker - a vertical steel pole with a triangle on top of it.
In the distance is the rolling outline of Criffel Hill on the mainland of Scotland across the Solway Firth.
The sky is full of white clouds.

“It’s outrageous to even talk about spending cuts when people are already exhausted and struggling. We need to tax the wealthiest and invest in our public services.”

Green Party leader @ZackPolanski says the government must stop punishing working people and start taxing wealth fairly.
