Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Those of us with Long COVID have been grievously harmed by our government’s failure to implement disease control measures. That same government's denial of COVID's dangers has also created massive stigma around our illness, redoubling that harm.

Long COVID stigma adds insult to injury
It's weird having an illness a lot of people simply don't believe in

What about the public health measures needed to curb the spread of #Covid so that we prevent #LongCovid in the first place eg #CleanAir? We need a conversation about #Covid - the damage it does and how and why to stop it speading.

The best defence I've heard of the Labour Party today is:
Vote Labour because Reform lite is still better than Reform.
I say F*** that!
Vote Green.

Greens still have more seats than Reform after these #UK #localelections2025 and gained seats unlike Tories and Labour. But are they included on the big screen on BBC Breakfast ? Nope.

As we enter 'Awful April', many people's bills and expenses are shooting up.
Yet the Government continues to attack the poorest households, rather than making the very richest in society pay their fair share.
Poverty is a political choice. Let's tax the super-rich instead.

4.5 million children are already living in poverty in the UK.
Labour had a choice. They could have rebalanced our economy by taxing the super-rich fairly.
Instead they CHOSE to remove vital support from ill and disabled people.
We won't let them forget it.

It's encouraging that a growing number of MPs are waking up to reality. Not only would cutting welfare support for our most vulnerable people be cruel and indefensible, there is a clear alternative: a wealth tax. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

It's good to see a party leader mention prevention.
On #LongCovidAwarenessDay I want to draw attention to the fact that many people are still living with the effects of Covid, and they often struggle to get the support they need. Government must do much more on research, support, and prevention.

‘Airborne’ seems to be the hardest word
Why do UK Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) guidelines still not acknowledge airborne transmission of Covid-19?
