✍️ Green councillors in Exeter have written to @steveracemp.bsky.social calling on him to ask Keir Starmer to reject Rosebank.
❌️ This would do nothing to lower bills or boost energy security.
💚 We need instead to invest in the green energy sector and create the high quality jobs of the future.

When you adopt the policies you once opposed, you risk becoming like the very forces you once criticised. Labour’s temporary asylum plan echoes the harsh approaches they used to stand against.

Here’s something that’s really important for everyone to understand.

If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers.

If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers.

Spread the word.

The Green and Independent Group of councillors have welcomed plans by Devon County Council to remove flags from public property when they have been put up illegally.
Flags should create a sense of community, not division.

Over the next six months Stagecoach will take delivery of 51 new electric buses in Exeter and North Devon.
Welcome news for passengers and the environment.
But Stagecoach must use this as a moment to turn around their shoddy service in Exeter.

⚠️Green councillors have accused the Labour-run Exeter City Council of
☹️Running a misleading & poor consultation process
☹️A failure to justify why the disposal of this land for an 'energy hub' is necessary.
☹️The potential environmental damage from laying pipes for the industrial plant.

"I’m pleased Keir Starmer is going to COP — but Rosebank’s emissions are equivalent to 28 of the lowest-income countries combined, and this government still won’t rule it out.”

Zack Polanski calls for real leadership from the government ahead of #COP30.

Tesla have approved a $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk. That's 20 billion times more than a nurse in the UK earns.

Don't let anyone tell you immigrants or disabled people are the problem. It's the richest 1% hoarding all the wealth.

Time to tax the super-rich properly.

Just as COP30 climate talks begin in Brazil Logan Air promote hugely polluting short-haul flights from Exeter to cities easily reached by train.
Greens say:
❌️Airport expansion
✔️Proper taxes on aviation fuel ✔️Subsidies for rail
✔️Frequent flyer levy taxing 15% of fliers who take 70% of all flights

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies

Those companies pay billions to their shareholders

And then lay off their workers

Think that's unfair?

Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

Farage to ask MPs to back the UK leaving the ECHR
This would place Britain in a tiny club of non-members with Russia and Belarus.
Belarus has never been in the ECHR and is a loyal ally of the Kremlin.
Russia was expelled from the ECHR after invading Ukraine.
⚠️A vote for Reform is a vote for Putin⚠️

The average student debt now stands at £53,000.

Almost half of graduates will spend 40 years paying off loans they’ll never finish.

This is not a fair or sustainable system.

Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering raising income tax next month.

Of course Labour are planning on going after working people while conveniently ignoring the super-rich who are hoarding this country's wealth.

The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.
