I said in my speech to conference, the RNLI are the best of us. For those lucky enough to have parents volunteering with RNLI, I hope they feel nothing but pride in their parents.

Children of RNLI lifeboat volunteers are bullied at school because their parents rescue migrants in the English channel

We TRIPLED our vote share.

Second best byelection result in Green Party history.

On a date that Labour chose to deliberately clash the same week as our conference.

All with a brand new PM in previously a "safe" seat.

Best response to all the absolute nonsense today?

The winner of Nobel peace prize doing what the Government of the United Kingdom will not do: calling Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide.

"The last thing I did is the report on Gaza naming what is happening there as genocide. One of the main reactions to that report [was] paying tribute to me for my courage.. why would you need courage to speak the truth?" Navi Pillay upon winning the 2026 Nobel peace prize

Devoid of ideas, Tories vow return to Thatcherite policies. They want to cut social spending, build prisons, cut taxes for the rich, free childcare for individuals earning £1m. What will they privatise, sell to foreign investors? No ideas on infrastructure investment, regulation of capitalism.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

UAE may halt UK investments after Manchester City guilty verdict. The 'rule of law', not blackmail must prevail. Over 100 individual breaches of the Premier League Rules. It filed misleading accounts at Companies House. There are questions about whether Manchester City circumvented UK taxes.

Only 10% of the richest 0.01% of the population paid close to the top 47% (45% income tax marginal rate + 2% NIC) rate on earnings. A quarter of that group paid an effective average tax rate of 20% or less. The tax system appears to be progressive for some but is frequently not so at the very top

Reform won #Durham promising to show Britain how it would govern. Now another three councillors have walked away, with one making an extraordinary allegation about what happened after she raised a serious safeguarding concern.

Trump will TACO. He’ll never allow this to continue. He knows he will lose. Question is, why does it take the BBC to call Trump out ? Everyone in the U.S. knew exactly what Trump was doing, but nobody did anything. Pathetic…
