How exciting to be in coalition saying with one voice:

Make Them Pay!

There is a clear minority who is making our lives harder. And that is billionaires!

We must make them pay.

The Green Party wants to tax the rich. We must.

Join us now!

Our Lewisham Green members joined the emergency action for Gaza today outside Downing Street.

Palestinians in Gaza are starving to death. Israel, aided by our Government, is responsible for the genocide in Gaza.

Our message to the Labour Government is stop the complicity. Stop arming Israel now!

Bring Science to Politics - for Climate, Nature & Our Survival @sciencetopolitics.bsky.social · May 27

Earlier this month ~200 scientists gathered to #BringScienceToPolitics.

Hear why @chrisgpackham.bsky.social joined us.

Part of the "increasing number of scientists realising that the job isn't done once the paper is published"? Follow us and help push for the evidence-informed policy we all need.

The housing crisis won’t be solved by luxury flats. We need council homes.

The new planning & infrastructure bill risks becoming a developers' charter.

We must protect nature’s homes too.
