I don't think it is a borough policy and at this time of year they should only be cutting down dangerous trees because of nesting season.

The Olympics’ trans policy polices womanhood | Moira Donegan Sports bans have humiliated trans women and girls across America. Now, the Olympics joins in

The attacks on trans women in sport are driven by bigotry, not science, and based on the sexist belief that womanhood is defined by weakness

Green MP: Labour caricatures working-class people over greyhound racing Hannah Spencer says minister ‘continuously offends people by saying working-class people don’t care about dogs’

Animal cruelty is not entertainment

Just like bearbaiting, dogfighting, and cockfights, these relics of history only exist so bookmakers can make profits from the misery of gambling addicts and tortured animals - it’s time animal racing was stopped

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.

Landlords evicting tenants before law to prevent practice comes into force in England No-fault evictions made up one in three reports made to renters’ union Acorn in January

Labour's badly written Renter's Rights Act is allowing landlords to evict thousands more tenants for no good reason. The ban on no-fault evictions should have come in immediately to prevent this happening.

Quote graphic from Zack Polanski, Green Party Leader. "The King should be going nowhere near Donald Trump at this time. The truth is, Keir Starmer has waved this visit through because he's scared to stand up to this rogue president. Starmer is telling everyone he's Hugh Grant, while the reality is he is imitating Tony Blair by involving Britain in another illegal war in the Middle East. The reported 27 US B52 bombers taking off from British soil to bomb Iran is testament to that. " Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE15 9GQ.

“Starmer must end this involvement in Iran and stop the King's visit to the USA.”
@zackpolanski.bsky.social calls on Starmer to show leadership - stop UK involvement in illegal wars, refuse concessions to Trump, and oppose normalising fascism through inappropriate state visits.

More people are now realising that the @greenparty.org.uk is a far better option
