Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.

This petition has just passed a million signatures.

Compulsory ID will put far too much power in the hands of the Government. Even if you think you can trust Starmer (?!) just consider for a moment how a Tory or Reform Government would abuse that power.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

I've always been sceptical of 'sunlight is the best disinfectant', but I looked it up and apparently it is healthier to hang laundry outside. So maybe that is what we should do with fascists.

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip.

It is not a threat.

It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now.

Pretty thoroughly depressing to live in a country where big, important institutions — like universities, the BBC, the Labour party — seem only ever to be run by people who seem to really dislike them.

I don't know how many people understand that disabled people are looking at losing £450 a month, every month, potentially for life.

Money that pays for the help, aids, and adjustments that they need to exist in the world. There are disabled people who wouldn't survive these cuts.
I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.

We have enough wealth to invest in our public services and end injustices like child poverty. But far too much is concentrated in the hands of a few.

Progressive property taxes help ensure the wealthiest people pay their fair share.

The Tories, Labour and SNP all voted against.

"The top 50 richest families in the UK now hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population, comprising more than 34 million people."

Inequality is hard-wired into capitalism; the time for systemic change is long overdue.

Andor’s thesis has always been that revolution is violent and immoral and requires martyrdom. A very challenging narrative to push in the western world. Daring. Uncomfortable. Brilliant.
The very frightening thing about Andor is Luthen is probably right regarding everything…his way is probably the thing that will most result in actual real change, which is something many aren’t willing to accept.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.

That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.

Shame on you, Keir Starmer.
