Well done to everyone who helped try to clear this area during last weekend’s monthly Canal Group litter pick, and to Councillor Alex Mace @alexmace.bsky.social who has asked the city council to step in and take action to carry out a major clean-up.

Is enforcement the cure for city's worst canalside grot spot?
A team of litter pickers cleared up a large section of waste dumped near a canal at what is becoming known as a 'grot spot'.

When we said we don't intend to be concerned or disappointed by the Labour Government - we intend to replace them, we meant it.

Yougov have Labours lowest poll ever and Greens highest ever.

Keep going everybody.

If Reform can go from nought to sixty in 5 seconds (in terms of support & prominence) why can’t the millions of left-leaning people do exactly the same for @greenparty.org.uk ?
It’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
The old two-party monopoly is dead.
Be part of the change. ✊💚

This is so important. Homes that people can’t afford aren’t going to solve the housing crisis; local communities’ needs must come before house builders’ profits.
nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social Natalie Bennett @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social · 3d
The pattern is familiar: get a scheme approved, then apply to remove the social homes.

We need stricter rules to stop this and ensure every development delivers the affordable homes communities need.

Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering raising income tax next month.

Of course Labour are planning on going after working people while conveniently ignoring the super-rich who are hoarding this country's wealth.

The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.

Great to see our long-held policy to introduce wealth taxes top the list of reforms that people would most like to see!

The Green Party's proposal for a wealth tax on 1% of assets above £10m and 2% on assets above £1bn comes top of our list of tax reforms that Britons would support, with 75% giving it their backing

Great to hold a press conference in Swindon this morning to welcome the new Green Party councillor group.

Swindon now has 3 Green Party councillors. They didn't leave Labour - Labour left them!

🤯 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.

“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies."

Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration.

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.
