Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Great to attend the @NEUnion and @TheGreenParty Education session this afternoon. I got to ask a question about how bold, Green education policy can counteract “half way” policy making, also called by me, “cynical sticking plaster policy”, implemented by this Labour Government.

Starmer says Britain is at a fork. But he's spoon fed policies by Reform - it's clear the direction hes taking us all.

For bold politics- taxing the super rich, nationalising our public services, funding our NHS, Greens stand ready to replace Labour.

I do agree @zackpolanski.bsky.social offering an answer like you have in how you will improve voters lives is better. Is better than just saying you're a socialist which it is more abstract to the politically unengaged.

3% more and this Labour Government need to worry more about the left - than the right.

Lower bills. Protect the NHS. Nationalise our public services.

This is how we start to turn our country around.

"Polanski is adamant that Labour no longer deserves to be thought of as progressive.

"The Labour Party is so dead and gone in terms of being a progressive force. You don’t need to be in the Labour Party: @greenparty.org.uk time is now.”

Labour vs the left

While Keir Starmer focuses on the threat of Reform and the populist right, is his real problem a resurgent progressive politics?

Many of your grandparents were the original Antifa.

They fought against the Nazis on the beaches of Normandy and in the forests of Ardennes.

They literally helped save the world from the scourge of fascism.

Today, under this regime, they would be declared terrorists.

Let it sink in.
