Imagine if the greens got the same media coverage & hype like Nigel Faright's Reform?!

Media hype making it out as though Reforms got majority support to sway the floating voters.
Reality is most would prefer an alternative like the Greens who address real issues instead of pandering to xenophobia

We need to rebalance the whole system and make it so that it is actually illegal for governments to allow for the gap between the rich & the poor to grow beyond a certain amount. That should then be the real measure of a countries economical health.

Rather than investing in our recycling industry – which could create 5,000 jobs, as well as having an environmental benefit – the UK is dumping more and more plastic waste on other countries.

It’s shortsighted, it’s irresponsible, and it’s immoral.

Britain missing out on potential £2bn recycling industry by exporting plastic waste

Exclusive: Government failure to close loophole allows 600,000 tonnes to be shipped elsewhere each year

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.

95,000 members reached.

And with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Question Time tonight, it is very much possible we hit 100,000 tomorrow, or on Saturday.

I am speechless. I remember saying only 2 days ago we would hit 100,000 members by November. Not anymore.

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.
