We can't let houses sit empty whilst people are homeless. @SheffieldGreens have long campaigned to increase council tax for houses that are left to stand empty. it's good to see @nowthenmag addressing this issue too. @AlexiDimond @acorn_sheffield

πΊ Watch me on @itvnews talking about #Silvertown Tunnel. π§ This new road is a massive blot on this Labour Mayor's record tackling the #ClimateCrisis and #AirPollution. π’ I would repurpose it for #PublicTransport, #cycling, #walking & #wheeling.

So proud that @TheGreenParty has been calling for a full #CeasefireNOW for months. There is NO excuse for the ongoing massacre of civilians, or the relentless attacks on homes, hospitals, schools & civil infrastructure that have much of #Gaza uninhabitable.

π Global renewable energy capacity grew by 50% in 2023, providing real hope of achieving global climate targets. π€¦ But in the UK the Conservatives want to take us in the wrong direction by expanding slow and expensive nuclear energy. π We need to invest in renewables now.

πΈ The inequality gap in the UK is growing wider and wider while public services crumble. π Only the Green Party would tax the super-rich fairly and use the money to fund public services properly.

β° It's time to tax the super-rich. #WealthTax
This is why in @TheGreenParty we've been advocating for a long time for a wealth tax. It's only right that multi millionaires and billionaires pay more on their wealth and assets. Don't let Labour or Conservative politicians tell you there's no money - it's a lie.

On the nightshift now at the #CeasefireNOW camp in #Sheffield. Two Palestinian residents are camping here, one of whom is on hunger strike. You can read their demands here: https://t.co/uYHDspOsCr Why have @BBCLOOKNORTH50 @itvcalendar so far refused to cover this?

While Ministers desperately try to portray themselves as the good guys in the #PostOfficeScandal, perhaps the PM can explain why the Govt continued to award contracts to Fujitsu long after they knew that Horizon wasnβt fit for purpose @FT

A new report shows that austerity and health inequalities have caused more than 1 million early deaths in England. Austerity and regional inequality are a political choice. Only the Green Party is committed to closing the inequality gap and building a fairer, greener country.

π Keir Starmer has confirmed that Labour may row back on their green spending plans subject to their 'fiscal rules'. π€― Even their own advisors are warning against this. π Only the Green Party is committed to investing what is necessary to bring down bills AND emissions.

Really exciting times in Bristol Central. @carla_denyer & @TheGreenParty will work really hard for Bristol - and can win! That's an MP working every single day for environmental, social, racial and economic justice. I spoke to @LondonEconomic ππ½ https://t.co/rodyO5yZYT

Twelve of the 14 city councillors in Bristol Central represent the Green Party, which is cause for concern for the deputy culture secretary.

π Council budgets are being cut to the bone by the Conservatives' austerity agenda. ποΈ Residents are the ones who pay the price through the breakdown of public services. π The next generation of Green MPs will fight for properly funded councils and public services.
