At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.
Mayor Mamdani holds up bananas with a 30% off sticker on them. Shelves of produce and canned goods, all with 30% off stickers on them. New Yorkers clap at the press conference announcing the 30% discount for municipal grocery stores.

One of the greatest ironies of modern times will be that the anti-immigration far-right, by also denying climate-change for so long, will bring about the largest mass migration in the history of our species by making large parts of our planet uninhabitable. #NetZero

Incoming Education Secretary Lucy Powell needs to uproot the whole education system. A Green Education Secretary would abolish SATs, abolish Ofsted and ensure that schools give pupils the best chance of a flourishing life.
