NEW: Reform UK says it would re-impose the two-child benefit cap - scrapped by Labour - for most families to fund £3bn support package for pubs.

Matthew Goodwin is an unapologetic racist, we have to do everything to make sure he doesn’t win in February. Donate, leaflet, door knock the Greens have to win.

NEW: Former academic Matt Goodwin has been announced as Reform UK's candidate for the Gorton & Denton byelection.

What an unsurprising move from Starmer. It’s becoming clear this will be a race between the Greens and Reform.

Starmer is pandering to the far-right and their extremely dangerous anti-immigration rhetoric. I can promise you you have more in common with people choosing to call Britain home or those who find refuge here than those pushing exclusion and hate.

Over 25,000 people voted for a Young Green candidate today. 14 Young Greens were elected bringing our total to 57 Young Green Councillors. That’s 57 local champions bringing new perspectives to councils across the country. The work to keep this going in 2026 starts now 🌱

Vote for real hope and real change. Vote Green today.

Polling day is tomorrow!! It’s been great to get out and campaign across the country in Lydney, Cambridge, Exeter and Worcester. Thank you to everyone standing and making these campaigns possible. Tomorrow we get to vote for real change thanks to all of you 💚

"This is our chance to send the Government a clear message that we deserve better." Young Greens lay out just some of the reasons you should vote Green on 1 May.

Today myself & Lu have written to Co-Leader @adrianramsay.bsky.social as Young Green Co-Chairs about his lack of response to yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling. It is crucial we show solidarity with the trans community, to show our opposition, as a united front, to increased oppression and fear.

No state should be allowed to commit ethnic cleansing and genocide. The fact this even has to be said is a horrific reflection of where we are.

BREAKING: Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip is expanding to seize "large areas that will be added to the security zones of the State of Israel," Defense Minister Israel Katz said.

Reeves’ cuts to welfare are unnecessary and cruel. It’s time for Labour to get serious, tax the rich and start delivering the change they promised.

We must fix this if we want to fight the far-right and keep getting Greens elected. The next leadership election is a great opportunity to make change. Until then get organised, start sharing best practice and work to build the skills we so desperately need.

Owen Jones@owenjones.bsky.social · 2y ago

The Green Party should be proud of their breakthrough at the last election. But their failure to pick political fights since then has left Nigel Farage capitalising on Labour’s implosion. They need to get their act together! New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If the status quo is not working to stop the resurgence of reactionary politics, it might not be because of individual failures but because of systemic ones We can keep making the same mistakes for the same results or we can start broadening our horizons even if change seems scary

The announcement of a ceasefire comes far too late for far too many. We must work for a sustainable peace in which there is a free Palestine, an end to occupation & justice brought to those responsible. The UK must also end its complicity in genocide, end arms sales & allow aid to flow to Gaza.

The scenes in Los Angeles are apocalyptic. Fire ripping through homes. Tens of thousands evacuated. Everywhere, climate breakdown is ravaging people's lives - while our leaders champion minor reforms they know will never douse the flames. Enough. We need a Green New Deal.

Starting the year as we mean to go on! A great day out in Saltford, Corston and Newton St Loe to get Young Green Co-Chair Luanne elected on the 16th! There’s going to be so many opportunities to get Young Greens elected in 2025, watch this space!💚

This is dangerous and puts trans youth in an incredibly precarious position. Streeting is ignoring trans voices, ignoring the risk the ban poses and ignoring the desperate need for gender affirming care. The ban must be challenged and immediately reversed.
