The US military has 22 sites in the UK. Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran. This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more. The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚

Evidence shows that less frequent black bin collections incentivise people to recycle more. Also that these changes gain public approval within 6 months. The public have voted for more recycling, more action on the ecological crisis. But Labour stopped this from happening, again.

The Government is planning to unveil more than £6 billion of welfare cuts that will see even people with extreme disabilities lose money. None of this is necessary. Billions could be raised by taxing the super-rich fairly. Labour are choosing to punish the most vulnerable.

Bristol Labour admitting the quiet part out loud: under their administration, Council consultations weren't worth the paper they were written on. @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social sees consultations differently: as vital parts of decision making, not just a box-tick exercise.
Bristol Labour Leader Tom Renhard quoted as saying:

“They’ve already decided to collect black bins less frequently, they just haven’t admitted that yet.

“Residents know the council only ever consults the public on something it intends to do.

“If the Greens had no intention to move to four-weekly bin collections, they wouldn’t have included it their consultation.”
