This is phenomenal! But also expected. If you don't listen to your people, your people make a choice. And we choose Green 💚
The Green Party is surging!
Our membership has overtaken the Lib Dems, we’re about to do the same with the Tories and for the first time in Green history we’ve polled higher than Labour.
Let’s keep the momentum going!
Join the Greens now and help us do it.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.
I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?
Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

We know flooding is increasing but I'm not seeing loud advice for people to plant more trees. I see too many new build gardens with slab paving, hard surfaces and no plants. Trees are one of the cheapest, most effective ways to redirect rainfall. #trees #flooding share.google/egh55S4e5tHF...
Towns may have to be abandoned due to floods with millions more homes in Great Britain at risk
