Refugees are human beings. They have mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters. They laugh and cry just like you. They have hopes and dreams and a desire not to live in fear. They have not collapsed your NHS, built no homes or filled your rivers with sewage. You are being conned.

This is why councils should be encouraged to buy existing houses, and repurpose them as social housing. Simply building more, as Labour suggests, is not sustainable in any sense of the word.
“We simply do not have enough homes” Angela Rayner. According to ONS there’s an estimated 28.4 million households in the UK 2023 and 29.9m homes, an excess of 1.5m homes - second homes, third homes, empty homes. The shortage is AFFORDABLE/COUNCIL homes.

This is fascinating. A bank getting into affordable housing, presumably for profit. Should councils sit up and notice? Might social housing be next? Be interesting to know what @NickBano thinks.

Yesterday the people of the #WaveneyValley chose real hope and real change. I will work tirelessly as their @TheGreenParty MP to be their voice in Westminster, to bring attention to their priorities and push for the bold action that is needed on climate, housing & the NHS.

A really impressive result for the Green Party in Norwich South: over 8000 votes, and a clear second place - the first time that that has ever happened.

Evidence-based policy is the hallmark of @TheGreenParty - not short-term gimmicks, but something that might actually solve the problems caused by years of diverting money out of public services and towards private profit.
"I actually feel like Greens have got a plan to save the NHS." ✅ £22bn investment to bring NHS buildings up to modern standards ✅ Immediate boost to the pay of NHS staff ✅ Protection from privatisation 💚 Only the Green Party is offering real hope and real change for our NHS

Although Labour might be headed for a landslide on Thursday, the Green party is fighting the Tories in two seats where concerns about the life of our rivers might make the difference, writes Mirror...

Former Conservatives are appalled by the behaviour of the party – partying in lockdown, betting scandals, and most recently disrespecting the D-Day ceremony Many are going to vote Green this time for a hard-working, respectable, local candidate https://t.co/QfqWoyLkW0

In a new constituency where the river ‘is our lifeblood’, people speak of being taken for granted by the Tories

"without that Green voice to hold him to account in Parliament, Starmer can continue to make U turns. We can push him in the right direction, keep them honest & push for action that's need on the defining issues of our time" With @Julian5News on real hope from Green MPs #GE2024
