Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

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.

Serious foul play from Starmer and Powell…

@zackpolanski.bsky.social very clearly explaining why erroneous smears against the Green Party from senior Labour figures won’t work.

The trumped-up smears by Starmer and Powell on Green drug policy and tactical voting organisations is serious foul play.

Some of our members, including Raza from Chatham, travelled up to Gorton and Denton this weekend to help #GetHannahElected 💚

Valuable conversations about the future of our communities.

Well done to those involved! 👏

Here are a few highlights:

What £1,000 roughly looks like in Medway:

55% – Private rent
14% – Energy
15% – Transport
12% – Food
4% – Council Tax

Over half gone on rent alone.

Leaving just 45% to cover every other essential, and nothing left for childcare, phone bills or anything sudden.

Rent costs so important here 💚

👏

More to come, stay tuned 👀

Earlier today our members volunteered to collect litter from the Broomhill Park area of Strood. Including our Chair, Grace Duffy. Here is a montage of today’s events.

Today was purely about showing pride in Medway, our streets and our green spaces 💚
