Finally reached our goal of making Daily Mail columnists froth at the mouth over our economic stance 💀 Now, let's go further.

Say it with me: Universal Basic Income.

Also, this was a pretty good read: buff.ly/TouoF8g

The government have announced that university tuition fees in England will increase every year in line with inflation from 2026.

🧑🎓 Education should be a right, not a privilege.

💚 That's why the Green Party would scrap tuition fees altogether.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us?

Mothin Ali: Does the Tesco CEO really do 431 times more work than the lowest paid worker? Adding another million doesn't make much difference to their quality of life, but adding a few 1000 for the lowest paid worker drastically changes their life prospects

💰 In 2024, Labour had £90m, the Tories' had £50m, and the Green Party had £5m

📈 We need to close the gap quickly to replace Labour and fight Reform

🙈 But for some reason we don't have billionaire donors...

Israel has no right to block aid to Gaza. Israel's allegations against UNRWA have not been substantiated. Israel must cease obstructing the UN and its agencies.

As a party that doesn’t support the monarchy at all in its current shape, we don’t want to engage in a debate about formal titles and honours, but to hold a space in public debate to enable the stories of victims such as Virginia Giuffre to be heard clearly. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Yesterday the Greens not only broke 115,000 members, but also had our first ever national poll showing us level pegging with Labour. Zack Polanski meant it when he said we are here not to feel disappointed in Labour but to replace them. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Hey Starmer, I'm old enough to remember a Labour Party that took pride in the right to protest. Do you remember that?
