This week, Tom attended the council meeting regarding the future of the Agora Development.
Finally, the project is going ahead, but unfortunately the micro-grid and the affordable housing aspect have been scrapped.
"The Green Party has, in the past year, gone from strength to strength. Our membership numbers have raced ahead of the traditional parties, our polling numbers have skyrocketed, and we have now smashed a by-election at Gorton and Denton in Manchester, a traditionally safe seat for Labour. This has happened because people have realised that they don’t have to be stuck with just two parties anymore. As Reform has risen in the polls, so have we. This can’t be excused as a fluke or an accident. The far-right are attempting to spin it as somehow fraudulent based on nothing, but we know the truth. The country is ready for the Greens. Milton Keynes City Council will have an all-up election in May. 60 seats on the council will be up for grabs, and Milton Keynes Green Party are ready to take them. Labour and Reform are panicking, and so they should be, because it’s not immigrants they should be worried about - it’s the Greens coming for their seats".

"I know there are many trans and non-binary people who will be feeling deeply worried today, caught in the midst of a media storm as they try to simply live their lives. To those people, I say: please know that I stand with you - today, tomorrow and always. The Green Party continues to support a policy of self-ID to allow trans people to live full lives free from harassment in the gender they know themselves to be. The judge emphasised in his speech that trans people are still protected under the law, but it is for government to now demonstrate how this will be achieved. I will work closely with human rights and LGBTIQA+ groups to understand the consequences of this ruling, and will not hesitate to press for changes in legislation if it is needed to protect the human rights of all.” - Carla Denyer MP, Green Party Co-leader - MP Bristol Central

"They've been incredibly slow to act."
@carladenyer.bsky.social speaks to @turnleftmedia.co.uk about the Government's woeful response to the genocide in Gaza.
"It is once again using starvation as a weapon of war."
@elliechowns.bsky.social questions the Government on their response to Israel's decision to block humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.
🏡 The average rent has gone up by 8.7% while we spend £30 billion on housing benefits that goes straight to subsidising landlords!
💰We need rent controls and mass investment in genuinely affordable council housing!
✅ £15 minimum wage for all
✅ Maximum pay ratio of 10:1 for all businesses
✅ Four-Day working week
✅ Ban zero-hour contracts
✅ Repeal all anti-union legislation with a Charter of Workers’ Rights.
🧑🔧 The Greens will make sure the economy is working for the many not the few!
Heathrow is typical of the Government.
Makes inequality worse, evidence is biased by vested interests and it's terrible for the planet.
Rather than a frequent flyer levy, Labour are only interested in representing corporate interests.
“For most of this generation’s lives, they have only known austerity and governments that offer them very little.” Carla Denyer, Co-Leader, Green Party.
Broken promises look the same in Blue, Red or Yellow.
We deserve better than this.

🥀 If Labour had supported tackling global tax avoidance it would of “increased UK tax receipts by an amount equivalent to 20% of the NHS budget”
Disappointing to see Labour standing with wealthy tax dodgers.
