Happy #SocialistSunday on a week where we have seen relief for our friends in Palestine, even with our own concerns about the situation it’s time for us to share in their renewed hope while pushing for justice and freedom.
And another great week for @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Green Party💚🍉

The richest 5 men on the planet could spend a million dollars a day and it would take them 476 years to spend all their money. Don’t tell me they can’t afford a wealth tax.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

They are here to REPLACE Labour like Reform has replaced the Tories. This is a huge opportunity for every progressive person who wants to see an end to billionaire rule in this country. Join the Green Party now and be a part of REAL change, for all of us! Fight for our country and our democracy ✌️

The Green Party is polling higher than ever before. Our membership is growing rapidly.
And every single day we are surging.

Where Labour have failed, the Left must be ready to take on Reform.
