The Greens don’t believe providing safe refuge for endangered asylum seekers is an “out-of-control” policy.
Nor do we believe making life more difficult for those in need is the way to unify British society.
Refugees are welcome.

“Low-fat Nigel Farage” is the best burn I’ve heard about Starmer 😅
The idea that Labour is on the left is completely incoherent. For shame, Starmer is appeasing the right instead of rightly rejecting their dangerous and divisive rhetoric.

" @greenparty.org.uk have hurtled past 130,000, eclipsing number of Conservative members. One poll already puts them on 15%, more than double last year’s 6.2% & tied with Labour. To call that a political phenomenon is not hyperbole."

It was effective communication because it was sincere, and sourced from a different place.
This isn’t about political messaging. It’s connecting with people on an entirely different level.
It’s a messaging of hope and possibility - not hate and fear.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.
It aired in 1990.
