Is politics for profit or the people? “The public won’t forgive us [Labour] if we miss this chance” - even those within Labour can see it's shocking that Burnham is rowing back on another key promise. Democracy should not be for sale www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Another winter of families facing higher bills. Another year of energy companies profiteering. We need fundamental change to bring bills down and end rip off Britain.

"The government could immediately cut bills by removing policy costs and the costs of servicing energy debt off bills and onto wealth taxes. They are choosing not to." greenparty.org.uk/2026/08/26/g...

Solidarity and love to the people of Qusra who live surrounded by some of the most extreme of extreme Israeli settlers there are. This violence is not an isolated incident, and nor is the IDF turning a blind eye. It’s an awful pattern of life under occupation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Israeli security forces have reportedly withdrawn and about a dozen settlers are said to remain at the site where two families have been besieged since Sunday.

We won't just talk about the need to end neoliberalism - we have a plan to make it happen. Help us end Rip Off Britain and tackle the climate crisis. Together we can continue to build our movement & send a message to Labour that tinkering isn’t enough Join.greenparty.org.uk

I know he has a lot on, but in the midst of a ferocious drought, fires, heat events and severe threats to food production, it would be quite edifying to hear Andy Burnham mention climate breakdown.

Today is the 81st anniversary of the nuclear bombing of #Hiroshima. Yet despite the gut wrenching horror, the 9 nuclear states have *already* amassed the equivalent firepower of 145.000 Hiroshima bombs & still want more. This is madness. #NoMoreHiroshimas @cnduk.bsky.social

No one should face exclusion or discrimination because of who they are. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community and will keep fighting for equality that includes everyone.

Every Green elected makes a difference. This is objectively funny.

This is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Something massive is happening in Greater Manchester today.

"For us" - who do Labour mean when they say "for us"?

Labour chose this... On Thursday, we can choose better. Vote Green first in Greater Manchester 💚

Manchester avec Ramallah

Tinkering around the edges doesn’t meet the crises of our age: affordability, inequality and climate. We need rent controls, wealth taxes and real action on climate. Only the Greens are free of the vested interests to meet this challenge. inews.co.uk/opinion/zack...

Zack Polanski: Andy Burnham's tinkering won't transform Britain

Greater Manchester should be where people can flourish. For too long now its been where profit has flourished. This coming Thursday we change that.

Thank you Geraldine. As someone who’s been priced out of the city centre, Chorlton, Ancoats and probably soon even Openshaw (which isn’t exactly Notting Hill), this is why you have my vote.

I am part of a multi racial country. It’s what makes Britain great. So why is Labour treating immigrant communities like 2nd class citizens. metro.co.uk/2026/07/23/l...

Labour is still trying outdo Reform on immigration

I was outraged that a Labour minister was scrapping with Reform to prove who is more anti-immigration
