Greens are ready to fix our city and bring hope back to Birmingham.

We've had years of cuts to our services - library hours cut, youth centres closures, and vital staff teams striped back.

We deserve better!

Tonight MPs will vote on the govt's latest attempt to crack down on the right to protest - this time through restricting recurrent protests.

Myself and fellow Green MPs will be voting against these plans; peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy and must be defended.

Together with @friends-earth.bsky.social and @pscupdates.bsky.social, I have handed in petitions signed by over 40,000 people against the Government's sinister proposals that would give police new powers to restrict repeat protest.

Greens will always defend the democratic right to protest.

It's well past time to do away with Council Tax, a deeply regressive and unfair tax whereby the poorest households end up paying a much larger proportion of their income than the wealthiest do.

The establishment is terrified of the Green Partyโ€™s momentum as we are the only party that is not compromised by vested interests. Solidarity with all council candidates unfairly smeared, it smacks of desperation - keep fighting for a fairer, greener country!

It may seem like nerdy detail that the increasing weight of cars is worsening potholes, but it matters.

The car makers push to sell wider and heavier cars is increasing road maintenance costs and that affects us all.

Not to mention worse crash outcomes and less space to pass (wider) parked cars.

If we wake up and find Trump unleashed devastation, Labourโ€™s silence will be absolutely damning.

If Trump has beyond hopefully de-escalated, itโ€™s still damning.

Donald Trump has threatened that Iranโ€™s 'whole civilisation will die tonight'. This is incredibly alarming.

These threats normalise mass civilian harm, and makes an already volatile situation even worse

Starmer must condemn Trumpโ€™s rhetoric and urgently review and remove US access to UK airbases.
