The voice of Gaza. He was continually banned from social media and the evil occupation continued to target him and spew propaganda about him so they can murder him. Yet his voice still reached the world. Glory be to our martyrs.

Huge explosions were seen as Israeli air attacks hit a town in south Lebanon, killing at least one person and injuring at least seven others.

The strikes targeted a site that sold excavators and other heavy machinery.

If they had a Left wing person on Question Time every single week like they have a Reform person, the polls in the UK would be completely different.

But of course they only put a Left wing person on once every blue moon to prevent this.

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.

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.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Are you just as annoyed as we are on the right wing madness trying to ban our #veggieburgers? (And hiding the fact that they want farmers to be paid less?)

Here is exactly how Members of the European Parliament voted on it yesterday 👇

If you aren't buying a house to use it yourself.

You shouldn't be able to buy it.

Thank God there is a political leader finally speaking up loudly for basic bloody decency and not following Farage down his racist rabbit hole into whatever hate-filled hell he wants to drag Britain. We all need to stand with Zack and say "enough" before we end up in the same mess as America.

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.
