The Representation of the People Bill contains some useful measures, but it must go further – put proportional representation on the statute books, shut loopholes that let dark money in, and modernise media platform oversights to stop misinformation and disinformation.
"It's performative cruelty."
@rachelmillward.bsky.social speaks to Sky about Labour's lurch to the right on asylum policy - and why the Green Party is focused on real solutions to the cost of living instead.
I'm delighted with my heat pump.
But my experience getting it installed taught me what’s been stopping many more people from getting one (so far).
I wrote for @politicshome.bsky.social on the hurdles that government needs to think about as it implements the Warm Homes Plan. 👇
There is much to welcome in the Govt Schools White Paper, especially on supporting young people earlier.
I asked the SoS for Education to recognise that more needs to be done to improve inclusion schools & increase alternative provision for the young people who need it.

Bar graph depicting results of Find Out Now poll on Westminster voting intention, no swing data is provided by Find Out Now, though it is worth mentioning Reform UK are, per numerous sources, declining in the polls at the moment, and the Greens are rising: Reform UK are on twenty four percent, the Greens on twenty percent, the Conservatives on seventeen percent, Labour on sixteen percent, and the Lib Dems on ten percent.
🚨 The Greens are challenging Reform for first place, according to a recent Find Out Now poll.
This is no fluke; make no mistake, the Greens are on the rise. 📈💚
Migration is part of what makes this country great.
We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.
The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.
Image shows Churchill Square in Brighton on a sunny day. A police live Facial Recognition van is parked and multiple police officers can be seen stood in front of it.
If you are visiting glorious Brighton on this sunny day (as you definitely should), please be aware that at Churchill Square this van is live scanning everyone’s faces and making the city look more like a police state than the gorgeous day out it is!
Solidarity, Mothin 💚
The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold.
He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold.
5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.
The Young Greens are now the largest youth political movement in the UK, with over 45,000 members! Young people are craving hope and change, and they're finding it in the Green Party. 💚

Our drug policy makes sense, @greendrugpolicy.bsky.social. The war on drugs has failed we need take a public health approach to help people, that means legalise and regulate and follow advice from proper health professionals.

The Green Party wishes a happy and colourful Holi to everyone celebrating in the UK and around the world.
The problem wasn't really the negative campaign.
The problem is that it was a smear campaign based on lies.
And still Labour aren't offering any solutions to the highest drug deaths in Europe.
Let's have *that* conversation.

The smears against @mothinali.bsky.social, who has been consistently anti war and oppression wherever it takes place, are a disgrace.

There's nothing the establishment is more scared of them a calm, kind, thoughtful gardener who happens to be a Muslim man in politics.
We'll stand together. Solidarity Mothin.
*Wiping a tear*.
It’s been a long hard slog to get to the point where a great @greenparty.org.uk candidate like @greenpartyhan.bsky.social can be elected in a parliamentary by election.
I’m so looking forward to seeing how Hannah uses her voice to stand up for people in Gorton and Denton. 💚 🎶

I have no sympathy for the brutal and cruel dictator of Iran who has been killed, but for the US to launch an illegal, unprovoked and destabilising attack against Iran is totally unjustified.
Israel and the US have launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on a sovereign nation during ongoing diplomatic negotiations.
We should not allow the UK to be dragged into another American war.
We must do everything possible to stop this and uphold peace in the region.
This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.
The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.
🚨No more safe seats: the Greens take Gorton and Denton

With the Gorton and Denton win, our opponents have been working overtime to misrepresent Green Party drugs policy. Heroin in corner shops? Crack for kids?
Let's clear this up. 🧵
