Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.

Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.

This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

This Labour government continues to dance to Reform’s tune.
This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

Sickening rhetoric by Home Secretary. Denying access to human rights isn't "protecting the public". This is Labour further demonising those seeking asylum in language very reminiscent of the far right. Yes, some break the law, so should be prosecuted within the law. Removing rights is not the answer

For the second week in a row. We’re not here to be disappointed by Labour; we’re here to replace them.

Absolutely appalling. Even the tiniest, simplest measures to protect nature are unacceptable to this Labour government if said measures upset the lobbyists. 🤬
Swifts have declined 70% since 1994.

They fly from Africa to breed here, only to find we've blocked their nest sites.

A £35 swift brick nest box was proposed for all new buildings.

The construction industry lobbied Labour to block it.

Biodiversity sustains life. Labour sustains economic power.

Err, some introspection needed here, Labour! If you’re going to attack disabled people and immigrants while failing to tax the super-rich and dropping environmental pledges before even elected, you’re in no position to talk about others letting people down.

Labour were broken a long time ago.

Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.

A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.

Time to make hope normal again.

7. In the biggest news, New York City elected Zohran Mamdani as mayor—a rebuke to his opponents’ anti-trans rhetoric and a victory built on an unapologetically pro-trans platform. Just weeks ago, Mamdani released a two-minute pro-trans ad set to transgender artist SOPHIE’s “It’s OK to Cry."
As Some Dems Run From Trans People, Zohran Mamdani's Latest Ad Shows Real Support
The 2 minute ad features Sylvia Rivera's story, Mamdani's commitment to transgender people, and even music from the legendary late trans artist SOPHIE.

Is this same Labour Government expanding airports,

Intent on destroying bats, newts and doesn't care about nature?

Not sure going to Brazil alone is going to do much good.

This is so refreshing — two men openly talking about love and emotions in such a healthy, authentic way.

In the era of Andrew and Tristan Tate, be a Zack and Jordan.

Lord Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail pays NO TAX in the UK.

The rest of us fund public services, he CHOSES not to. Yet we’re supposed to believe problems in the NHS are migrants’ fault? The utter cheek.

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.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
