What are you going to do to build more social rent homes in every borough?

Gutter politics from Andy Burnham telling BBC Manchester that I'm 'showing a prejudice about technical education' are you serious?

I left school at 16 to become a plumber and I'm proud of that. In fact here's what I said when asked. If there's any prejudice here, it's from you

Today, I visited the Strand, which is proving that bold ideas like car-free-zones work.

I also chatted to people on Old Compton Street in Soho, where everyone wants the road to be for people walking & businesses to use, rather than cars.

Greens will deliver safer streets.

A lot of furious shouting about immigration but when Ellie Chowns is finally allowed to speak hers is the only answer the audience applauds:

The Rwanda scheme 'won't work - it's a very expensive way of being cruel...we need safe routes to asylum.'

.Ellie Chowns of the Green Party the only one talking about the need for rent control - a big part of fixing the broken housing market. More affordable social housing is also key but as one young audience member says, building over green spaces is the wong answer.

'Energy requires energy to be built!' proclaims the Reform UK spokesperson, as if this is a conclusive argument against net zero.

The party has weeded out the dead & proponents of cannibalism among its candidates, but is still setting a very low bar.

It's good to see Labour finally moving in the right direction on rail. But their proposals fall far short of the full public ownership The Green Party has long been calling for - and make no commitment to address the significant investment needed in our railway services.

๐Ÿ“บ I'll be on Channel 4 tonight for the live national local elections debate from Gloucester.

๐Ÿ’š At every election this year, a vote for The Green Party is a vote for a party that both genuinely cares about local issues and has a plan for the future.

Tune in at 7pm!

This is the best approach to would-be fascist dictators.

Especially good to see in New York, 's home city. I guess they know him better than most.
