The Labour right and their journalist outriders are TERRIFIED of Labour losing power. They are absolutely shaking in their boots at the prospect of the Greens having any success.
Let’s make sure they were right to be scared, join and vote Green. The grass is greener ✅❇️💚

It’s scary how quickly this has happened, but we are pushing back.
Maybe this Labour government think people haven’t noticed, but they would be wrong. The vast majority want fairness and genuine solutions to the multiple crises going on at the moment, not vile scapegoating and punching down.

Finally … FINALLY! … but ONLY because if the pressure being put on Rachel Reeves / Labour by Zack Polanski and the Green Party. And he sounds a sensible note of caution - wait and see if they actually do it. 🙏
If this is true - this should have happened a long time ago.
The Green Party alongside campaigners have been calling for this - and it's good to see maybe they've finally listened.
Will reserve relief for all children being lifted out of poverty until we know it's happening.
