For anyone feeling deep despair - I get it.
There is hope, though. And Green Party membership is continuing to rise every single day.
That's thousands and thousands of people coming together to demand change & to make hope normal again.

A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

Sheer cruelty on display in the Home Secretary's proposed new asylum laws, which could see refugee families with children suddenly uprooted and deported after spending years rebuilding their lives in Britain. Shameful capitulation to Reform's agenda at the expense of the most vulnerable.

Or in a bubble that's just about polls and just about new members.
