Reform UK leads in big donations ahead of May elections The latest donations received by Nigel Farage's party includes Β£3m from crypto investor Christopher Harborne.

Crypto investor based in Thailand gives Reform Β£3m more!

He's done that to
(a) Help working people in Lowestoft?
(b) Get the same kind of billionaire-friendly policies Trump's given US donors?

Seriously! Is there *anyone* who doesn't see what's happening here?

Dear Lucy

Three weeks ago you wrote me a bizarre letter in an attempt to hold on to voters who Labour have for too long taken for granted in Gorton and Denton. 

First, I’d like to give my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I've been busy on the ground with Hannah Spencer talking to voters about the issues that matter to them – lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services. 

You'll appreciate most of your letter is out of date now, but I'm sure you'll have seen the poll that came out today, that puts us in first place and Reform in second. Labour are a distant third and it’s now clearer than ever that your party cannot win in Gorton and Denton. 

If you are as concerned about stopping Reform as you proposed in your letter, the course is now clear: in the spirit in which you wrote to me, you should now urge your members and former voters to back Hannah Spencer on the 26th February to stop Reform and make hope normal again. 


Kind regards,



Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales 

P.S – Hannah looks forward to saying hi in Parliament!

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

β€’ to be safe
β€’ to be kept in better shape
β€’ to have more to offer for
β€’ young people starting out in life
β€’ people who've worked hard all their lives o families and community groups enjoying our beautiful coast
Dom Taylor already knows many of you as he's lived in Kirkley for years, raising a family. He loves where he lives and the people who live here. His first jobs were in Suffolk factories, and he's worked as a prison officer, in probation, in the Ministry of Justice, and as an actor. He joined the Green Party because it's about fairness, solving problems based on facts and evidence.
LOWESTOFT'S PUBLIC SPACES CAN BE IMPROVED with collaboration and determination.
CRIME
We all know that sometimes Kirkley is not as it should be.
Time for a words-are-cheap, tough-on-crime, macho slogan? Not if we want to actually reduce crime.
If we want to make the very real people we love actually safer from very real harms, then sadly, a fake pose is totally useless.
More simplistic lies = More crime = More
victims.
HARD-WON EVIDENCE SHOWS
Focused problem-solving policing
Evidence-based drug diversion interventions
Community programmes
Environmental improvements

Fixing buildings
Multi-agency working

Politicians seeking quick wins have been telling
Can all help to reduce crime and the harms it

It takes collaboration, determination, the ability to bring people together. Dom Taylor has worked collaboratively right across the criminal just…

HEART?
Where is Lowestoft's beating heart? Successful towns have a heart, a recognisable centre; where's ours?
Kirkley is perfectly placed to provide Lowestoft with its heart and soul.
Dom Taylor wants to galvanise town, district and county council action. When Kirkley succeeds, all of Lowestoft benefits.

We want families & friends to be able to enjoy Lowestoft for generations to come. If we take urgent action, they can.
In December last year the UK's Town & Country Planning Association policy director came to Lowestoft, because we're the number one UK coastal town at risk of flooding. He said: "Build a flood barrier or move your town."
IF YOU ELECT DOM TAYLOR 
He'll listen to you, work as hard as he can improving and fixing the things you care about. He'll work with every neighbour and community group, every layer of local and national goverment, to do so.
He's successfully tackled big, complex issues before. He can help here. Where he lives.
Lowestoft is Suffolk's second biggest town.

It’s been obvious from the outset that the Government needed to review the APR threshold.

It’s baffling that it took 14 months to do so.

I've asked the Government if they recognise the emotional and financial cost of this 14-month delay to farmers?
