Great to hear that there will be a Weekend of Hope taking place on 18-19th October.

Coincidentally, we will be leafletting and talking to residents in Hanwell on the 19th, spreading our message of real hope and real change.

Let's make hope normal again.

It has been two long years since the horrific 7 October attacks, and still 48 Israeli hostages are not free.

I really want to see the hope from current peace negotiations bear fruit for these victims, and true peace found with real action to end the genocide.

The Green Party of England & Wales @greenparty.org.uk · 1d

Two years on, we remember the horrific events of 7 October.

We call today, and every day, for an end to the violence.

Lots of people are feeling helpless about the Israeli government's genocide, but you don't have to look very far in Ealing to find residents working to directly help Palestinians.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.

We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

The #ElizabethLine is definitely a success. #Hanwell is absolutely packed at rush hour but busy outside of that and at weekends. It’s about time for #TFL to stop terminating so many westbound trains at Paddington and give us (and Acton Main Line) a more frequent service.

At least 200 people waiting at Hanwell Station for the train to Paddington

We oppose it

With the #ClimateEmergency we shouldn’t be expanding airports like Heathrow

It will blight the whole area, inc pollution & noise

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.

Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.

Don't fall for it.
