Today we celebrate the Windrush generation and the immense contribution they have made to communities across Britain. Their story is one of courage, resilience and determination, and their legacy continues to shape our country for the better.
Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.
Whoever replaces Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street needs to hear the message loud and clear: The UK's democracy is in crisis. A fair, proportional voting system isn't a "nice to have". It's a priority and we need it now.
The country needs a bold change of direction.
• Crackdowns on peaceful protest. • Support for Tory benefit cuts. • Blaming migrants for failing public services. This is Starmer’s legacy.
Happy Eid al-Adha from the Green Party to all who celebrate.
