We now have the largest youth and student movement in UK politics - AND the biggest Young Greens group in Europe 🥳
This is the generation that’s done waiting. Join us. ⤵️
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!

With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
