This is what I want to hear from a politician and why I am a Green Party member.

Vote for real change, #VoteGreen 🌍💚

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?"

Zack Polanski, "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership"

"Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

In an era when a YouTube video, a ticktock reel, or Facebook post gains more traction than a week of headlines in a Murdoch shit rag, the establishment should be worried about the Green Party.

People want honesty and integrity, not bullshit and scapegoating. #VoteGreen🌍💚

If we are going to tackle the climate and biodiversity crises, it's so important that we understand the impact that diets centred around eating animals have.

We could almost meet our emissions targets by moving to a plant-based diet.

Freeing up huge amounts of land for nature restoration!
