We’ve had a great week campaigning in Ipswich! 🗳️💚
Thrilled to have Green Party Co-Deputy Leader @rachelmillward.bsky.social with us yesterday! People are ready for real change and we're hearing it loud and clear.
7 May is just weeks away - let's keep going!

hago 16.58 BST Reeves should ditch plan to make energy support package targeted, and make it universal, say Greens In a BBC interview this morning, Rachel Reeves confirmed that any energy support package introduced later this year would be targeted, not universal. (See 8.44am.) The Greens say they disagree; they want every household to get help. In a statement, the Green co-deputy leader Rachel Millward said: 44 For administerial efficiency, and to ensure no one slips through the net, the Green party believes that support with escalating energy bills must be offered to every household. Rachel Reeves says it makes no sense for the best-off households to receive support. If she was really concerned about inequality and fairness, she'd reform taxes to tackle this - including introducing a wealth tax and equalising capital gains tax with income tax. That's the best way, not only to claw back support offered to those who may not need it, but also to raise extra funds for the public services poorest households are most dependent on.
In that way the Government really, really doesn't want to give the Pubic free vaccines unless they really, really have to, so this Government would rather people slip through the cracks than help us through this stupid crisis we didn't ask for.

#AsylumHypocrisy - The Green's deputy leader, #RachelMillward publicly championed #AsulymSeekers are welcome, but now objects to housing 600 migrants being housed at Crowborough Army Camp, in her affluent East Sussex area!?
