🚨 Bradford Council report raises equality concern about Reform/Tory flag policy: “Removing the automatic right to fly some of those flags, e.g. the Pride flag, could be said not to advance equality of opportunity." Greens respond to new flag policy ⬇️

Graphic shows a collage of flags, including the EU, Ukraine, Pride and other community flags, with a red X across them. A quote from Cllr Matt Edwards reads: “Reform and the Tories have teamed up to divide our communities. Changing the flag policy was a Tory demand, and Reform have been quick to pick it up.” Bradford District Green Party branding and join.greenparty.org.uk appear at the top and bottom.

I am pleased with this evolution of our energy policy. Renewables remain our top priority. This isn’t about fast-tracking new nuclear, but about recognising that in a climate emergency we should be using all the existing infrastructure we have to move off fossil fuels.

Andy Burnham says he needs to wait to see the evidence before he calls what is happening in Gaza a genocide. But the UN already have the evidence: Israel is commiting four out of five acts of genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention. Burnham must call it what it is: genocide
