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.

It became so tiring to hear British politicians not answering to questions, let’s hope that journalist would demand other than Green politicians to answer questions.
Great interview on Sky this morning - Zack Polanski held in high regard by the presenters "authentic and does not avoid questions".
Brilliant.

In May, Sussex & Brighton will face a similar choice between real hope and real change with a @greenparty.org.uk mayor or a big money backed Reform mayor with no real plan for the future.
