Reform UK want to take public spending down to 35% of GDP — that’s a £275 billion cut, the equivalent of shutting down the NHS.

The Green Party knows the only way to rebuild our communities is by investing in our public services, not running them down and flogging them off to the private sector.

A ceasefire is not a final victory.
Far from it.

2 years of genocide and a century of anti colonial struggle.
Palestinians need to be at the centre of what happens next and what happens next must strive to right the wrongs they have been forced to endure.

When I stood as parliamentary candidate in Exeter last year, I pretty much knew it was a safe Labour seat.
No more.

The rhetoric of the far right is escalating.
Look at ICE in the US. Armed militias kidnapping people off the streets.

We’ve seen this before.
It’s fascism. Imported from the US to British shores by the likes of Farage and Tommy Robinson.

Will you help us fight it?

Renewable energy has overtaken coal as the world's largest energy source.

Developing nations are now leading the way towards the green energy transition. As the West are still trying to cling on to the energy sources of the past.

As the world moves forwards and embraces renewable energy,

At Conference, the Tories plot to drag us back — abolishing the Climate Change Act and ‘maximising extraction’ of North Sea oil and gas.

Graphic featuring a close-up wind turbine over farmland under a cloudy sky. Headline reads: “THE WORLD MOVES FORWARD WITH RENEWABLES AS TORIES LOOK BACK.” Below is a quote from Green MP Carla Denyer: “The news that renewable energy overtook coal as the world’s leading source of electricity shows our world is moving in a cleaner, greener, healthier direction, but the Tories are plotting how they can block both people and the planet from benefitting from this transition.” Bottom shows Carla Denyer’s headsh
