A green-themed graphic from Bradford District Green Party shows a bar chart comparing party support among 18–24 year olds. The Green Party leads with 30%, followed by Labour at 23%, Conservatives at 20%, Liberal Democrats at 11%, and Reform UK at 8%. Text reads: “Greens top with 18–24 year olds.” The source is YouGov, dated 13/10/25, and the web address “Join.greenparty.org.uk” appears at the bottom alongside the Green Party logo.

Nigel Farage has finally admitted to it.

But now there's lots more questions especially considering Rupert Lowes intervention....

Graphic. Cut out of Zack Polanski saying " Zia, do you ever think immigration is the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?" In speech bubble. Cut out of Zia Yusuf from Reform below.

Immigrants are not to blame for austerity.

Political choices by Labour and Tory governments are to blame for austerity.

A brilliant performance from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #bbcqt last night.

Voters who saw it will be in no doubt that the Green Party is about way more than just the environment.

And that Labour and the Tories are done and the battle is between Reform and the Green Party.
