2️⃣ Poverty isn’t a policy success – it’s a political choice. Welfare cuts don’t ‘incentivise work’—they push people further into hardship. We need a system that lifts people up, not holds them down. #SpringStatement #LabourAusterity

3️⃣ Cutting welfare shifts the burden elsewhere. Less support means more pressure on the NHS, housing, and social services. The costs don’t disappear—they just hit the most vulnerable harder. #LabourAusterity #LabourAusterity

5️⃣ Austerity doesn’t fix deficits – it worsens them. When people struggle to afford basics, economic activity slows, tax revenues drop, and public finances suffer. Austerity is a failed experiment. #SpringStatement #LabourAusterity

6️⃣ Fair societies invest in people, not punish them. A strong welfare system strengthens communities, boosts the economy, and creates a fairer future for all. #SpringStatement #LabourAusterity

The Green Party has condemned Labour’s welfare cuts, calling them a betrayal of the most vulnerable. After years of Tory austerity, there was hope for real change—but Labour has chosen the same cruel policies, just in red. 1/3 #SpringStatement

As the clocks spring forward, we need to shine a light on the real time bandits: those who’d rather keep us in the dark about the climate crisis and growing inequality. 1/2 #DaylightSavings

While we’re losing an hour of sleep, they’re stealing our future. It’s high time we wake up, not just to a new time, but to the urgent need for climate action and social justice. 2/2 #DaylightSavings

Happy Mother’s Day to Northern Ireland’s unsung heroes. From suffragettes to peacemakers, our women have been the backbone of progress. They’ve bridged divides, fought for equality, and shaped our future when others faltered. 1/2 #MothersDay #HappyMothersDay #NorthernIrelandMums

On International Transgender Day of Visibility, Green Party NI celebrates the courage and resilience of trans people in Northern Ireland. Visibility is vital—it challenges discrimination & prejudice, builds community, and inspires change. 1/2 #TransVisibilityDay

Northern Ireland’s water infrastructure is at breaking point. 19,000 homes are stalled, raw sewage pollutes rivers, and NI Water needs £2 billion to fix the mess. Even if that money were available today, experts warn it would take a decade to repair the damage. 1/5

Trump’s tariffs are a masterclass in economic illiteracy, and Northern Ireland is paying the price. A 10% tariff on our goods entering the US could cost local businesses up to £300 million, with key sectors like manufacturing and agri-food taking the hit. 1/5

Blaming the British government austerity for not finding 5k to pedestrianise a small street in the heart of the city centre? Is this the best the Shinners can offer? This collective Stormont Executive is an embarrassment across many different fronts.

Thanks to everyone who showed up to our #saturdaysession yesterday on gender justice & tackling misogyny. 1/4
