Super excited to be back on the national exec of The Green Party ! Humbled that so many members across the country actually voted for me - thank you so much. Here's to the next two years of rolling up my sleeves and getting on with a brand new role for me.
💚Please get in touch!💚

💚Results of the election will be next week. It's been such an exciting summer, seeing our leadership election on double page spreads and mainstream news. Plus a plethora of fabulous candidates for deputy leader.

💚Don't forget to vote for GPEX (exec) and PDC (policy) too!

Thinking of the class of 2025 getting their GCSE results today.

- They lost their final year of primary school due to covid.
- They started high school in the height of the pandemic.

This year group overcame so many obstacles to get here today.

Well done! May your results open doors! 👨‍🎓

Back from A Level results day - tears of joy, of upset, and lots of hugs all round.
We read exceptional results and dream destinations, but for many students it is a huge achievement to get a C grade.

Well done. Well done all.

Congratulations to everyone collecting their A Level, T Level and BTec grades today 🤓

Whatever the results, you should be proud of reaching the end of your formal schooling - and be excited for your next steps.

Your future awaits!

I also had some issues with getting emails - it can be a temperamental thing! But the members help desk managed to fix it. I hope you stay and try again.

Extending the entitlement for Free School Meals from 25% of pupils to 29% of pupils (2.6million) is welcome.
But it's not enough.

@greenparty.org.uk would scrap the 2 child benefit cap and give all children a daily free meal.

That is what tackling child poverty really looks like.

If we have money for missiles & drones, we should have money for school buildings, support staff & resources.

Govt allocates 4.1% of GDP on education, down from 5.7% in 2010.

Why isn't this drop in funding - worth ££billions - not headline news?

We must invest in young people.

Global Majority Greens Statement on Keir Starmer’s Immigration Speech

The Global Majority Greens find the Prime Minister’s racist immigration speech made on Monday to be an example of a government that is deflecting from its own incompetence in managing the country’s economy.

He said, “we risk becoming an island of strangers. Not a nation that walks forward together”.

It is migration that has helped make this country a success, especially after World War II.

How quickly the Government forgets…The 1948 Nationality Act gave British Citizenship to all members of the British Empire and their descendants who were invited to the UK to help rebuild the Nation, and we did.

Many of us in the Green Party are descended from people who came to the UK from India, Nigeria, Jamaica, Pakistan, St Kitts, Australia, Kenya, Malaysia, Germany, Trinidad & Tobago, Somalia (and more!). Some of us migrated here.

The Prime Minister’s statement that “we risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together” is not only wrong. It is dangerous and divisive - inviting racist abuse towards those of us living here.
