We are appalled by Keir Starmer's immigration speech on Monday and have issued a statement. As we can't fit the entire text in alt text, please scroll down the 🧵 for our entire statement.

We're pleased to welcome Cllr. Moin Quadri, Cllr. Victoria Hornby and Cllr. Faruk Choudhury to the @BDHGreenParty today. They will shortly sit as the new Green group on Barking & Dagenham Council. Read their joint statement 👇 https://t.co/dnBA4PzGT0

“That’s what I’m talking about with the closing of the coal mines, because there was nothing there to replace it where do these people go? “If there was something straight away to say ‘you’re gonna move into this job and transfer your skills’ then people’s life chances would

Welcome to our new councillors!

Congratulations to @ZackPolanski, the new leader and @MothinAli and @rachelmillward as deputy leaders. A dynamic team that will propel @TheGreenParty forward to meet the needs of people living in England and Wales in these challenging times.

They tested nukes on Hiroshima. Now they test bombs on Gaza. Different weapons, same doctrine: Use racialised civilians as live data. Children, homes, hospitals, all expendable. 145,000 Hiroshimas worth of firepower still haunt this world. And Gaza is the proving ground of the

The Grren Party stands in Solidarity with those seeking Asylum https://t.co/US3mkNcBLE

Remembering the victims of Hiroshima killed by the US in an instant, 80 years ago today. #Hiroshima80

@MothinAli Many of us of Global South heritage here in the UK, have family who lived, even died under Japanese Occupation during WW2. Still, we stand against the horrors of the atom bombs and in solidarity with Japanese survivors and families. #Hiroshima80

80 years ago, 250,000 people were obliterated when the US dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, then Nagasaki. @MothinAli asks what have we learned from history? As we hold them in our hearts, may their deaths not be in vain, and as humanity we stand against nuclear arms.

"We must remember our basic humanity. Those coming to this country to flee violence include mothers with their children, as well as people of all ages who have endured unimaginable trauma. We have a duty to offer compassion and sanctuary, not fear and intimidation" @Amanda_Spoke

Convenor of the Racism Policy Working Group explains WHY @TheGreenParty needs an Anti-Racism Platform and Policy within the historical and present context of colonisation, empire and imperialism which exists today. https://t.co/A7W1jM2JoW via @YouTube

Gaza has revealed the truth about racism—it’s not just hatred, it’s a structure. @HamzaMOEgal, convener of the Racism Policy Working Group explains how the Racism Policy Platform addresses this. https://t.co/SeFkOCAIbW

A visibly white person can have their identity overlooked. A visibly Black person can’t — we’re targeted, abused, scapegoated. That’s the difference. Racism isn’t about feelings — it’s about how the system sees you and treats you. We live it! #DianeAbbott @GreensOfColour

Global Majority Green party members rock!

One of the highlights of my trip to Ipswich recently was catching up with my friend and colleague, councillor @tamhauyu. A fearless campaigner for humanity, often fighting alone but undeterred! A true inspiration, and I'm proud to call her a friend and comrade!

Just sickeningly inhumane. People are forced to take dangerous small boat journeys to flee danger because for the vast majority there is no other way to claim asylum in the UK. The ONLY way to prevent horrific channel deaths is to open safe routes and @YvetteCooperMP knows this

There is a long and noble tradition of using direct action by protest movements @GreenJennyJones asks if proscribing Palestine Action makes the suffragettes, Greenham Common women and anti-apatheid campaigners all terrorists?

I voted against proscribing Palestine Action. The govt cynically lumped this vote together with real terrorist groups. While I support proscribing actual extremist groups like the indefensible MMC and RIM, I refuse to conflate direct action with terrorism.

We are ALL Palestine Action

Govt’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action dangerously conflates direct action with terrorism, risking a chilling effect on free speech and protest. It also cynically lumps them in with two genuine extremist groups, and shamefully denied MPs a proper vote on each organisation.
