By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

For anyone feeling deep despair - I get it.

There is hope, though. And Green Party membership is continuing to rise every single day.

That's thousands and thousands of people coming together to demand change & to make hope normal again.

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.

The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.

We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.

Reject the hate. Reject them.

This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.
