Everything #Reform do is to help the ultra-wealthy - they don't care about ordinary people. You can see this in everything they say. In this example: #Grenfell is tragic "but everyone dies in the end", so we shouldn't let improved safety stand in the way of house builders profits

We’re letting big corporations gamble with our lives. Act now, or the food could run out | George Monbiot The fragility of the global food system fills me with dread – and the war with Iran has exposed just how close to collapse it is, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Every minister should read this from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social: “The global food system is systemically fragile in the same way that the global financial system was before the 2008 crash…the same factors that would have brought down the financial system….now threaten to bring down the food system”.

A Historic Breakthrough in Gorton and Denton The Green Party's victory in the Gorton and Denton by-election is a clear win for the politics of hope and change over a campaign dominated by fear, smears and victim-blaming from Reform and Labour.

Greens Call For A Fairer Council tax “I am all for wages going up, but Being our Best was intended to save Council Tax spend, instead it has increased costs and created strike action. Who is accountable for this, where is the scrutiny?”

“We need a better system to fund local services. We need a national wealth tax, taxing 1% of assets over £10 million which should then be used to better fund public services.” open.substack.com/pub/bathnesg...

Parties exist to gain political power. Don’t be surprised they contest elections. I often hear ‘the Greens are splitting the vote!’, but that’s the political system *Labour have chosen*. Labour could end the threat of a Reform government right now if they adopt PR. (1/2)

Playgrounds would become crack dens if greens were in power policing minister says.

Playgrounds would become crack dens if greens were in power policing minister says.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years.

That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”.

Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives.

This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

Greens - Lower bills through nationalising our public services, wealth tax on assets and huge increase in investment in our public services.

Labour - ID Cards, random statements about flags and Austerity 2.0.

But apparently the Green Party are the "vibes era?"

Make it make sense!

Why the two‑child benefit cap is a policy fault‑line in the UK’s fight against child poverty Despite decades of the Right claiming that work is the route out of poverty, a significant number of families on low incomes, even those with a parent in work, are trapped in a cycle of hardship.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. CHILD POVERTY IS A POLITICAL CHOICE Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Scrapping the two-child benefit cap is the "cost effective way" of getting 500,000 children out of poverty, according to former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

He's right. Child poverty is and always has been a political choice.

Labour should remove the cap immediately.
