Mental health doesn't take a day off.

The Green Party is committed to ensuring mental health and physical health care are equally prioritised.

That means funding major improvements in mental health care - so that all of us can access the support we need, when we need it.

"Christians, Muslims, Jews, migrants and people from a global majority background face the threat of violence or harassment as they simply go about their lives each day. This is unacceptable for the UK in the 21st century."

@carladenyer.bsky.social on the increase in reported hate crimes.

Text reads:

SHOCKING HATE CRIME RISE MUST BE A WAKE-UP CALL

"Politicians of all stripes have a responsibility today:

to say loud and clear that people of all backgrounds and all faiths are valued members of our communities, and
an attack on any one of us is an attack on all of our values and freedoms.”

News of the ‘first phase’ of a ceasefire in Gaza is a moment of real hope. This must be the first step of many, including release of all hostages, full humanitarian access to Gaza, and self-determination for Palestinians.

A record 1,611 people — including 11 children — died while homeless in 2024.

Both Labour and the Conservatives have failed to fix Britain’s housing crisis.

A home is not a privilege.
A home is a human right.

As revealed by Channel 4 News’ documentary, UK arms exports to Israel have hit record highs — £408,000 in June and £316,000 in September.

The government says it’s restricting sales, but the data says otherwise.

The UK must end all arms sales to Israel now.
