Which raises an awkward question for opponents of votes at 16:

If votes for 18-year olds once sounded dangerously radical…

How confident should they be that their eerily familiar objections will age any better this time?

On this day in 1969, the voting age was lowered to 18.

When MPs were debating the draft law, a number expressed serious concern it might… break democracy 🤨

Plus ça change... 🥱

Some 'greatest hits' from 1969 🧵

“We do have to maintain a bedrock of freedom of speech and of peaceful protest... Otherwise, you don’t have democracy, you’ve locked it up.”

Baroness Hale says it plainly.

Yet just this week, MPs approved more draconian anti-protest measures.

When dissent is suppressed, so is democracy itself.

The Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards must also launch an urgent investigation.

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.

LOCAL ELECTIONS 2026 VOTE GREEN TO END THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Life in the UK is unaffordable.

Today, the Green Party announces our plan to fix it:

💡 No energy bill rise in July.
🏘️ Rent controls to protect households.
📉 Re-join the customs union to lower costs.

End the affordability crisis. Vote Green in May.💚

With the UK economy predicted to be hit hardest by Trump's war, remember who supported it.

“The cost of living crisis is real. That’s why we’re focusing on things that will have an immediate effect - freezing rents and scrapping council tax to replace it with a land value tax so those with more wealth pay their fair share.”

Peter Mandelson failed his Government security vetting.

Starmer appointed him as ambassador to the US anyway.

No more buck passing, no more mysteriously vanishing mobile phones, we need the truth.

Starmer must go.
