The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

😩Reform UK has become a home for racists, Islamophobes and misogynists. 💚We are determined to ensure that Exeter is a welcoming place where people are respected and appreciated.

Wow. What a campaign. Thank you to the 1000+ volunteers today and everyone throughout the campaign. The Green Party got 10% last time. Whatever happens tonight - we made Labour work like they never have before. I'm so proud of you all. 💚🙏🏽

Following our recent conference, Exeter Green Party would like to reassure local residents that we continue to work with all communities across our city to build an Exeter that is safe and welcoming for everyone.

Labour already have a huge majority. Another Labour MP putting Thames Water "on notice" isn't going to lower our water bills or protect our rivers. Nationalise Thames Water. Vote Green on October 8th. 💚

Don't do the same as this Labour government. Don't turn away and bury your head. Please watch and understand the seriousness of climate breakdown and our nature crisis.

THE REPORT THEY TRIED TO HIDE. Empty shelves. Water shortages. Food security at risk. The government cannot keep hiding the scale of the threat. It must release the report in full and act on it.

Today I supported the Assisted Dying Bill because I want those in the final few months of life to have the agency to shorten their suffering if they wish Last year I supported many positive amendments to ensure this bill had robust safeguards. I am disappointed it did not pass🧵

Councils have spent months preparing for local government reorganisation, at considerable expense. Now Labour is reviewing the whole process. It’s time for the government to end the chaos and give councils the certainty they deserve.

Climate breakdown is a national security threat. Nature loss puts our food, water, health, economy and stability at risk. The Government no longer has the luxury of time. We need urgent action and a dedicated Climate Protection Unit. We need a Number 10 for the future.

🚰 We hope Exeter councillors will show some bottle and back a Green proposal to investigate where water stations can be put in across the city 🆓️ So free drinking water can be provided for all.

Israel's defence minister revealed that his Government is seeking Donald Trump's support for their plan to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza. Forced displacement is a war crime. When will Labour act? End all arms sales. Ban illegal settlement trade. Sanction the Israeli Government.

Reform has a woman problem. Reform opposes democracy. Reform are not your friends.

Farage was there, at the moment unlawful donations were accepted, this isn't an aides stepping down scenario. It is the absolute smoking gun for the rotten core of corruption at the heart of Reform UK. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

😔 Those least responsible for creating climate breakdown are paying the highest price. 🌏 Climate justice means the wealthiest nations paying for the loss and damage caused by our current and historic emissions.

Last week Zack demanded that the UK government hold an emergency COBR meeting in response to the climate emergency. The Prime Minister Andy Burnham has finally listened to this call; the PM must set out his plans for how will keep this country safe today and how he will prepare for threats to come.

Reform’s leaders peddle rhetoric around climate change denial. Their councils act on it. Last month, Reform-run Suffolk County Council scrapped its climate emergency declaration. Now, as a wildfire tears through the county, we are seeing exactly why climate action should not be abandoned.

💁‍♀️ Green cllrsl continue to gather info about options for the old bus station site & to press Labour to provide transparent information about plans as soon as possible. 💚 We have long called for this prime city centre site to be used creatively for pop up market trading, green spaces & play areas.

Exeter's MP must work to: ➡ Use his new defence role to highlight security risks posed by climate breakdown and nature loss ➡ Oppose all new oil and gas exploration in the North Sea ➡ End fossil fuel subsidies ➡ Impose higher taxes on fossil fuel corporations and windfall taxes on excess profits

"Irans military claims a US B1 bomber flew from RAF Fairford to join US attacks. Iran said the base is now a legitimate target" Burnham could have stopped the US from using British military bases to wage its illegal war on Iran. But he hasn't.

By ruling out rent controls today, Andy Burnham has ruled out so much more. He's ruled out a Labour Government who will work in the interests of ordinary people rather than just the wealthy. Ruling in that real hope was never going to come from Labour. Join.greenparty.org.uk
