So-called ‘supported’ living for teenagers in care is supposed to be a last resort or final stepping stone to independence. But Justine Smith finds struggling councils are being financially incentivised to misuse the newly legal provision – and put children at risk

Rachel Reeves says on Laura Kuenssberg that she's asking working people to pay a little bit more.

This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich.

This Labour Government showing again exactly who they are and who they serve.

One should be in no doubt that most of Britain's elites will simply make their peace with Farage and do a deal, so long as they get left alone or benefit. Tho there is resistance to Trump in the US, it's v much the exception.(1/2) www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

“De-proscribe Palestine Action, it is not a terrorist organisation.”

“The Israeli State is a terror organisation.
The IDF is a terror organisation”

There is literally footage of the IDF executing these two Palestinian men in the West Bank, after they surrendered.

There's no "appear" about it.

I said it the other day, the Greens and YP are the only parties funded primarily by their membership so they won't prioritise their corporate donors
This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.

Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.

This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

I'd have a lot more respect for Reeves if she actually focused on what the @greenparty.org.uk proposes instead of trying to make cheap jibes

This just shows that she isn't deserving of one of the great offices of state

Regardless, this kind of disrespect will just drive people to the Greens
Watch as Rachel Reeves brands Greens leader Zack Polanski a 'keen hypnotherapist'

There is something really special happening that about 20 people turned up on a cold Monday evening to deliver @greenparty.org.uk leaflets(and did the same the Monday before to canvass) years away from a local or general election
