Wouldn’t it be something if the Greens held the balance of power after the next election?
The public already prefer them in coalition.
Now it’s up to us to build the support they need to make it happen.

What could the Bank of England do to support the UK economy? youtu.be/EgPRy3OFAYI?... The Bank of England could make our lives a lot better by changing some of its policies, but shows no sign of doing so. Why then do we tolerate its independence when that is used to undermine our well-being?

Given who was handing them £££ I’m surprised anyone couldn’t see it coming before they voted.
I could & it’s why I refused to vote Labour at the last election
Conservative Tories Labour Tories Reform Tories all serve the 1% & themselves only.

Starmer and Reeves may be more competent than Liz Truss, but after just six months in power they have become as terrifying in their cold fanaticism and intolerance of dissent. Did you vote for this?

What a shameless coward. He’s using the murder of three little children to launch his own culture war attack. He’s using the Southport inquiry as a replacement for the grooming inquiry he won’t allow. The worst Prime Minister at the worst possible time.

Rebuild public services.
Renationalise anything that the country & its people need to thrive
Expand public transport across the country & make it free or cheap.
Just make people’s lives better.

They said the main overriding goal is growth. They had 5 years as an opposition team to prepare and plan for this. Now 6 months in…they themselves say they haven’t got a clue.
Labour needs to quickly dump Starmer and Reeves. Everyday they stay helps the Tories and Reform.

In 2025 our love for this world has to become more ferocious.
We cannot bottle up our righteous fury at forces who are knowing setting the world on fire and actually *want* it to burn because they think they will be safe.
