🤯 Last night Labour Lords CHOSE to side with the Conservatives and allow an unprecedented attack on democracy and peaceful protest
🚨 Labour and the Conservatives are two sides of the same coin when it comes to our civil liberties and democracy.
Last night Parliament had the opportunity to vote to support a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza.
Sadly, the Labour party is in chaos and is failing to deliver what constituents are demanding.
Is your MP on the list?

💷 Universal Basic Income is an ongoing payment made to everyone with no conditions attached.
🤝 It has the potential to lift people out of poverty and improve public health.
💚 We would introduce a Universal Basic Income for all, to help build a fairer, greener country.
The Green Party is clear on what is needed to stop the killing in Gaza.
The UK government must now call for an immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages and political prisoners.
🇪🇺 7 years on from the Brexit referendum and we’re yet to see a single benefit from leaving the European Union.
💚 The Green Party is the only party willing to have a grown-up conversation about our future relationship with our closest neighbours.
If you are just waking up, what a night it's been for us and more to come! We are incredibly proud of all our new, and existing, councillors who are working hard and delivering real change across the country. We are winning and getting more greens at the table. This is our moment
✈️ Keir Starmer took a Qatar-funded private jet while at the COP28 climate conference in Dubai.
🤝 He and Rishi Sunak are two sides of the same coin.
💚 Only the Green Party can be trusted on the environment.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.
Labour and the Conservatives continue to ignore the facts.
Meanwhile, the Green Party has a plan to tackle the climate crisis AND the cost of living crisis.
#Treehugger
🙉 Keir Starmer has confirmed that the Labour Party are fully behind the Tories' Brexit disaster project despite the damage it is causing.
💚 Only the Green Party would rejoin the customs union, bring back freedom of movement and rejoin the EU when the time is right.
😳 So Starmer's not for turning... unless of course it's a U-turn.
His praise of Margaret Thatcher gives us an insight into the approach of a future Labour government...
💚 We need more Green MPs in Parliament to make the case for proper investment in a fairer, greener country.
BREAKING NEWS: Green victory. We’ve taken a seat from the Tories. Many congratulations to new councillor David Lyons. We will deliver for the people of Buckinghamshire.
WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We won by almost 500 votes!! Thank you so much to everyone that helped in whatever way! First Green councillor in Buckinghamshire!!
💷 Keir Starmer has said Labour will increase defence spending in government.
🤔 But they can't find the money for things like climate action, the NHS or lifting the two-child benefit cap.
💚 Only the Green Party would invest what is necessary to build a fairer, greener country
David Lammy called on David Cameron to release legal advice on whether Israel was breaking international law.
A Foreign Office official has now resigned in protest against arms sales to Israel.
Why won't the Home Secretary now release the legal advice?

🇪🇺 Brexit has been a disaster for our country and the Green Party is committed to repairing our relationship with the EU.

Labour is projected to win seats across the UK in a historic landslide victory, according to a new prediction from YouGov released on Monday.
But if you want a Labour with a conscience, vote Green to keep them honest.
🥀 Keir Starmer confirmed Labour won't revoke oil and gas licences issued by the Conservatives.
🔥 The main parties are putting fossil fuel investors ahead of the climate.
💚 The Green Party is committed to NO new oil and gas - plus new renewables to cut bills and emissions.
The Green Party are calling for a people's vote on the terms of the final Brexit deal.

Keir Starmer has told the public we must endure more economic pain and hardship "in the short-term".
But the poorest in society have been enduring economic pain for years while the rich get ever richer.
We need proper investment in communities. We need to tax the super-rich.
BREAKING: You've officially elected the greatest number of Green Councillors EVER. Thank you for voting for so many bold and brave Green voices. We're ready to represent you💚
🥀 Labour say they've ditched their green spending plans because there isn't enough money...
🤔 If only there was a way to raise more money and close the inequality gap...
The failure of Thames Water is a perfect example of the failure of the project of privatisation.
We need a commitment from Labour to the nationalisation of our water companies urgently.

The government could lift thousands of children out of poverty by scrapping the two-child benefit cap.
They could pay for it many times over by making the tax system fairer.
They are choosing not to.
Why?

A suspension of all arms export licences to Israel
Keir Starmer said wealth creation is a priority for his government.
But he's cut the Winter Fuel Allowance for vulnerable pensioners and refuses to tax the super-rich fairly.
Who are you trying to create wealth for Prime Minister?
🗳️ Voters up and down the country will be able to vote Green at this election, many for the first time.
💚 On 4 July you will have the opportunity to vote for real hope and real change.

There are easier answers:
1) stop stoking fear & hate
2) remove the 'fortress Europe' legislative wall which forces people into boats
3) stop arming and funding wars which cause mass displacement
4) welcome refugees - as is your international obligation
