Work in comms at Green Party of England and Wales. Parliamentary candidate Exeter 2024 winning 15% of the vote. This is a climate crisis. No time to lose.

Devon's youngest councillor Thomas Richardson delivers a message of hope at the Exeter is For Everyone rally, attended by hundreds who stood against a small group of fascists who turned up in our city again to spread their message of hatred and division.

“Residents in Exeter expect to be able to vote every year – that’s the way our system works. So annual elections are a right, not a privilege, for our residents. The whole episode is a disgraceful disregard of democracy.”

Of course Maduro's repressive regime must be held accountable - but the US's unilateral attack on Venezuela is not about democracy. It is about oil imperialism.

The UK must stop pandering to Donald Trump and roundly condemn the illegal action taken by the US.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Leafleting is one of the best ways for new members (which now number hundreds in Exeter!) to get involved in supporting our campaign to get more Green councillors elected in May 2026. As Young Green member Angus Crocker explains.

And it's a lot of fun too!

Nathan Gill sentenced to 10.5 years for taking bribes to promote Russian talking points (something Farage apparently did for free).

Judge notes "grave betrayal of the trust placed in you by the electorate".

Good to see at least one far-right Reform crook held to account.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

✍️ Green councillors in Exeter have written to @steveracemp.bsky.social calling on him to ask Keir Starmer to reject Rosebank.
❌️ This would do nothing to lower bills or boost energy security.
💚 We need instead to invest in the green energy sector and create the high quality jobs of the future.
