Labour is divided over the green threat. After Gorton and Denton, Labours battle with the Greens could get nastier.
Labour can keep attacking - it hasn't worked and won’t change the truth.
They’re protecting wealth and power.
The Green Party are fighting for people and planet.
Lower bills. Tax billionaires. Protect the NHS.

Unbelievable. King Charles is STILL set to fly to the US to celebrate with Trump in April. With everything Trump is saying and doing right now - and the hate and chaos he's spreading - this trip must be cancelled. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...
I've written to TBC asking why we've seen nothing from our 22 Jan meeting with @severntrentwater.bsky.social on sewage in our rivers. STW promised greater dialogue & transparency at that meeting plus some agreed actions. This is not a great start. #Tewkesbury #Sewage
Great news from @GlosCC yesterday: it PASSED our motion to expand publicly owned solar & wind energy across the county. Reform opposed— see what Reform's anti-renewables agenda means for your pockets: theconversation.com/would-more-north-sea-drilling-lower-uk-energy-bills-our-analysis-says-no-278467
Very powerful article from Laura Hutchinson of Citizens Advice. I am lucky enough to work alongside the amazing CA colleagues in the Tewkesbury Foodbank. This article exemplifies what I see and hear from the many who are forced to seek help to survive - open.substack.com/pub/bestforb...
Do we have a breakdown, by Party, of those who actually attended?
We need faster integration. All but a few with vested interests can see that Europe is a key part of future.
Reform UK's policy on renewables is not based on science but on personal greed
Roughly four out of every five pounds that Reform UK has raised in big, reportable cheques since it was founded can be traced to people who either make their money from the fossil-fuel system or publicly campaign against climate science and net-zero.

🚨Best for Britain has been campaigning against exclusionary voter ID rules since the Tories proposed it in 2021.
In 2023, 3,000 of our supporters sent evidence to a consultation in Parliament. Illustrating how many were being denied their right to vote.

Giving 16- and 17-year-olds the vote is a long-overdue win for democracy — On this one I am happy to say well done, Labour.
But let’s not stop here. It’s time to:
* Abolish the unelected House of Lords
* Introduce PR so every vote counts
Young people deserve real representation.

Dear Keir - following #PMQs today, a reminder of the letter we you sent last week after you repeated false claims about the Green Party's manifesto. Unlike Labour and the Conservatives we were honest about the need to raise taxes on the wealthiest to fund the services we all need.

@tewksgreenparty.bsky.social. The UK net-zero economy is booming - even the CBI says so - www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I asked the Deputy Prime Minister if she would impose huge, remote unitary County Councils if that is against the wishes of local residents & how she can justify having County Councillors last elected in 2021, leading negotiations on the biggest shake-up of local government in the last half-century.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. 5 YEARS SINCE BREXIT Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
"There are win-win first steps that the government should be taking today. For instance, working with the EU on a youth mobility scheme that opens up the European Union to our youngsters." Ellie Chowns MP, North Herefordshire
"With Brexit small exporters are being devastated and we must work very hard to persuade companies to use our quality and expertise." Mark Ormiston, Managing Director, Ormiston Wire
5 years on from our exit from the EU, the devastating impacts of Brexit on young people, small businesses and our economy are clear to see.
The Green Party wants to see the UK rejoin the Customs Union & Single Market and to to re-join the EU when the political will is present.
Five years after #Brexit, its disastrous consequences are clearer than ever. We need to do far more to rebuild relations with the EU & begin a serious conversation about rejoining. That starts with facing down Farage & faragism @europeanmovement.co.uk

@ECIU_UK warns: “English farmers have just suffered the second worst harvest on record after a winter of extreme rainfall, driven by climate change.”
Greens will:
✅ Support nature-friendly farming
✅ Tackle climate change at its root
Farmers need action, not excuses. #ClimateCrisis #GreenParty
Five years ago today Britain left the EU - and since then the costs have only got clearer. Young people missing out on opportunities, small businesses finding it harder to export - we're all losing out. Greens will continue to press the govt for a closer relationship with the EU.
