Sophie mate. That’s per person, per day. For a two week holiday: . £2.25 x 14 x 4 = £126 . For the working class family who save up all year to go on just one budget package holiday (all my childhood holidays), trust me that’s not an insignificant amount of money.
I’m soo deeply sorry that you have to pay an extra £2 to use your phone on your expensive holiday. My heart bleeds for wealthy people like you who are now having to queue at airports for 10 mins or fill out a bit more a paper work or pay £2 for our right to national sovereignty.

🚨 @UKLabour leadership blocks @unitetheunion winter fuel conference motion!. Right now it is fair to say that the Labour leaders have tried to silence the voice of pensioners, workers and communities at party conference in this blatant manoeuvre to block debate on winter fuel.

Big respect to Zarah for speaking up - I hope other Labour MP’s will do this both publicly and privately.
Labour's manifesto promised to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition & acceptance". That entails ending the Tories' ban on puberty blockers. Young people – cis & trans – must have access to healthcare they need. I'll always stand with the trans community.

Keir Starmer has appointed an out-and-out homophobe as his Shadow Justice Secretary. If you forgot, Shabana Mahmood sided with parents protesting against schools in Birmingham who were teaching about the very existence of gay people. This party is in the gutter. 🥀.

Getting minor dogpiled yet again so it’s a good time to share again that you can hurl all the abuse and insults you want at me, but I won’t stop standing up for the trans and non-binary community. I just wish others would do the same.

Infuriating to see @UKLabour join forces with Tories in East Suffolk to vote against new Green leadership. Despite @TheGreenParty removing a Tory majority in East Suffolk, Labour and Tories teamed up to vote for each other in all council positions. Vote Labour, get Tories here.

Labour should be very careful with their huge shift to the right because in places like Norwich, I am losing count of the people who voted Labour last year but have told me they can’t do it anymore because of Keir Starmer. Labour are being called Tories by their own voters.

Proud to be in a party that doesn’t sink down to culture wars and will always stand up for the entire LGBTIQA+ community.
🥀 We’re disgusted by Keir Starmer’s comments about trans women yesterday. Greens will always stand up for: . ✅ Self-ID and a simplified gender recognition process.✅Legal recognition for non-binary and intersex people.✅ Ban on conversion therapy .✅ Ending the spousal veto

Just imagine putting standing for election as a proud transphobe, being suspended from your political party and then causing said party to lose the election to the TORIES in one of the strongest Labour areas of the country. Truly embarrassing.

Last night @GreenJennyJones put forward a fatal motion to the governments draconian move to restrict the right to protest. @UKLabour backed the government. @LabourLordsUK helped take away our right to protest. Yet another reason to join @TheGreenParty.
My god. @LabourLordsUK confirming tonight #Labour will support the Government in its unprecedented abuse of power to restrict the publics right to protest by abstaining on the fatal motion to stop them. Absolutely shocking. @UKLabour have tonight brought a feather duster to a.

We knew she was a bigot for supporting homophobic protests against schools in Birmingham but the mask is completely off now! . By continuing to keep Shabana Mahmood on the cabinet, Labour show complete contempt for the entire LGBTIQA+ community. Send them a message on 2nd May!.
🚨 BREAKING: Labour's Shadow Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood says she agrees with JK Rowling's "gender critical" views. Mahmood, a key ally of Keir Starmer, says that she believes "biological sex is real and is immutable" and said JK Rowling has "lead the fight in this area".

We’ve been doing this election after election after election. Emailing a Labour MP asking them to support PR is absolutely pointless and I find it disingenuous to suggest that it will do anything at all. If we want PR, we need to end the two-party system, not reinforce it.
@GreenJennyJones @FayeKamsika @RussInCheshire @TheGreenParty I understand what you're saying but I still don't agree .Not this time.Every person who signs up with us we will ask to send an email to their MP to say they are "lending their vote" and we want PR.This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to consign the Tory party to history.

I really resent commentators like Owen Jones pushing this narrative that Green Party doesn’t represent the working class because it’s just lazy and wrong. As someone who grew up working class, I left Labour because it was clear they didn’t represent me. The Green Party do.

‘There just, frankly, is no money left’ . The Labour Party are trying to fool the entire country into thinking we do not have the wealth in this country to deliver the most basic support for people. They’re lying. The only thing that has run out is their political will.
'There just, frankly, is no money left'. Shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell says the Labour Party can't make promises it 'can't afford to keep' as she defends Keir Starmer's plan to keep the two-child benefit cap in place

Huge solidarity with all workers on strike today as @RMTunion takes more action. Workers are taking a stand for fair pay and conditions - let’s hope employers and the government get back around the table and pay workers the respect they deserve. @TheGreenParty is behind you ✊🏻.

The Labour Party has abandoned its socialist roots. It is no party of the people and it is sad to see. It is a sorrow state of affairs because while we need the Tories out, I’ve got absolutely no confidence that the Labour Party understand the issues we are facing as a country.

Huge solidarity to @MothinAli who is being subjected to vile islamophobia from the far-right when he is actually on the streets trying to calm things down. He’s an inspiration to councillors across the country.

In the general election, @AdrianRamsay received 41.7% of the vote when he took the Waveney Valley seat from the Tories. Today, we pushed that vote even higher in one of the safest Conservative areas in Suffolk. Bring on Suffolk County Council elections next year!.

Every single moment today I’ve come back to just how surreal this result has been and I’m so proud to see Mile Cross go green with that swing! . Let this be a message to Labour councils everywhere not to take our council estates for granted.
🚨 Green Party GAIN Mile Cross (Norwich). 🟢 GRN 43% (+26).🔴 LAB 40% (-12).🟣 REF 6% (+6).🔵 CON 6% (-21).🟠 LD 3% (-1). The 'Stop the Tories' website (@MVTFWD) told voters to back Labour here to "stop the Tories".

You should be ashamed of yourself @redditchrachel. To take a hardworking person in your community and make transphobic comments about them on national television, knowing the abuse that is likely to come from that, is absolutely disgusting. It’s not a matter of opinion.
In fact I did NOT apologise for my comments relating to the Green Party’s extreme policies on gender and self ID ideology and am happy to come on to your program to explain my position in more detail. As Deputy Chair for Women, I am clear that the law allows me to say.

If anyone wondered why I have been quiet over the past 4 days,it’s because I very nearly died in while walking in Wales and am recovering in hospital. Thank you to all NHS staff who’ve been the loveliest people and everyone who had me in their thoughts ❤️

A Tory MP feeling empowered to be explicitly transphobic to a constituent, using a platform that he must be aware will lead to a dogpile. This is what we have reached as a country. We continue to slide backwards and backwards and it’s just horrific to watch.
@moira_robin Both you and Emma are men. The vast majority of those suffering with true gender dysphoria- of which there are a minuscule number - recognise that, despite whatever they may need to do to make sure they’re happy. 1/2.

The Labour Party, who run Norwich City Council, continue to throw their support behind Right to Buy and now it will mean our award-winning net zero homes will be sold off just 5 years after being built with taxpayer money. Shameful. @TheGreenParty would scrap Right to Buy.
5 years ago the award winning Goldsmith Street councils houses were built in Norwich. Yet some are already set to be sold off under Right to Buy.

An uplifting story from today. Spoke to a man who ripped up his polling card and was insistent he wasn’t going to vote because of the way the government has behaved. After speaking to him and telling him that there is hope for something better, he said he’ll be voting Green 💚.
