"Mencap, Mind and the National Autistic Society warn could lead to βthe biggest rollback of disability rights in a generationβ." This is all deeply worrying especially in context of so much care now provided by private for profit companies rather than safe, appropriate and compassion driven care.
Charities Mencap, Mind and the National Autistic Society warn this could lead to βthe biggest rollback of disability rights in a generationβ. I am questioning the government on how it plans to respond nataliebennett.org/2026/06/03/d...

Water privatisation has been outright theft. Whoever is next PM must commit to ending this scandal and take our water back into public ownership. No more failed regulation. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

While all eyes are on Farage, we're overlooking something even worse: the building of the very tight and truly vile operation that is Restore Britain. This excellent essay/report by Simon Pearson should wake us up to the threat - and to what exactly it is. simonpearson1.substack.com/p/tory-30

Whereβs the fury about rightwing antisemitism? The newspapers that call out leftwing antisemitism publish antisemitic cartoons and champion politicians with a record of antisemitic statements. So who is holding *them* to account? This weekβs column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Add to this the end of persecuting disabled and vulnerable people, plus better rules regarding climate and nature recovery, and we are getting somewhere at last. The Green Party are the only ones actually calling for changes that benefit all people and our planet. ππ
A toxic combination of low wages and high bills is crushing this country. Today is Starmer's last chance to set out a plan that will end Rip-Off Britain: rent controls, nationalising water, freezing energy prices, and taxing wealth. No more half measures.
Excellent news. But we need to do better. Our biggest challenge is misinformation. This I feel, needs to be one of our main focal points. Making sure people really understand what open borders, decriminalising drugs and other Green policies mean. KEEP GOING. STAY GREEN.π
The Greens win our first ever directly elected Mayor - a huge historic victory! Huge congratulations to ZoΓ« and the entire team. Two party politics isn't dying. It's dead and it's buried. And we're making hope normal again.
Misinformation is the main problem that needs addressing. More focus and energy must be put into correcting misinformation, but not just on the Green pages and accounts. It's what I have been doing. Copy and paste from the Green manifesto to correct wherever possible. STAY GREEN. KEEP GOING. ππ

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

A Reform UK candidate sent messages mocking disabled residents as βponces of society,β "lazy c****" and "skanks" with βmade up ailments" while mocking their appearance. He boasted to one recipient that reporting his conduct to the party would be ineffective because he is βa board member for Reform"

We have to stand up together. There are so many signs of fascism out there, against people of colour, religions, refugees and immigrants, disabled and vulnerable people. They complain when we call them Nazis. Then maybe their supporters need to attend a evening class on Nazi Germany 1930-45. ππ

I think most of the public are horrified that MPs continue to defend the idea they can get drunk at work and then go to vote. Lots of people work hard. It's incredibly out of touch from Labour MPs in particular.
"No one votes the wrong way because they've had a pint... It'd be amazing to meet an MP who didn't smell of alcohol back in the day" Green MP Hannah Spencer has sparked debate after criticising MPs drinking inside Parliament β so, should it be banned? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/shou...
How many politicians do you know who admit they made a mistake and apologise. They usually don't because they see it as weakness, when in reality it takes strength and courage. Farage and Johnson haven't apologised to the British people for the Brexit disaster. VOTE GREEN. π
The billionaire class are terrified because we're coming for them - we're going to tax them fairly and end rip-off Britain. Let them attack. We're here to win. Join.greenparty.org.uk

While the oil industry rakes in obscene profit, millions struggle to pay their rising bills. It's time to close the windfall tax loopholes and fund our transition to a cleaner, greener future. We can't continue to be at the mercy of dictators and war profiteers.
BP has come under fire after revealing profits more than doubled in the first three months of the year thanks to the soaring cost of crude oil caused by the Iran war

Imagine this on a larger nationwide scale. I've seen enough of the Greens since Caroline Lucas was leader, to know they are the only party who roll their sleeves up and get stuck in. Stuck in for us that is, not themselves like the other parties. VOTE GREEN. π

The Sustainable Buildings Summit is underway in Switzerland, focusing on a more sustainable & resilient buildings sector. Buildings contribute nearly 40% of emissions. The good news: they also offer opportunities to reduce them. Transforming them is key to climate action: https://ow.ly/SUBB50YMBZg
I'm sick of Labour, Reform and Tories exploiting victims of rape and abuse. They all need bringing down. I really hope people see through their false caring act and vote for a party that actually cares about people. You know who I mean. ππ
Keir Starmer actually put this in a briefing to Labour MPs of 'useful questions to ask' today. The PM knew of Mandelson's relationship Epstein when he appointed him. And yet thinks he can still exploit the grief of the victims. This is why he is not fit to be Prime Minister.
