Wes Streeting has defended Labour’s policy not to scrap the two-child benefit cap. This impacts around 1.5 million children and this cruelty will leave thousands of families impoverished. The Green Party believes this policy is not only heartless, but also counterproductive.

If Labour’s platform can’t support lifting 250,000 children out of poverty, it is built on a shoogly peg that deserves to fall

Great to see The Green Party making the #HousingEmergency a key election priority 👇🏾 The only way to provide people with truly affordable homes is investment in 90k social rent homes a year, with rents tied to local incomes. #VoteForHome #GeneralElection

We need social housing. Lots of it. Building unaffordable luxury houses that remain empty is not it. Want to help The Green Party push back against property developers and instead push for major public investment in social housing? Then join.greenparty.org.uk

When our city was rocked by tragedy in the past, Plymouth came together peacefully to remember, rebuild and hope for better. With demonstrations planned for tonight, I hope this spirit endures. We stand united against fascism, Islamophobia, racism and hate in all forms.

We, our waterways and wildlife, deserve better than Labour’s wishy-washy plans to tackle the water quality and sewage crisis… theguardian.com/business/nils-…

A bit teary and hugely proud that The Green Party just called for an end to greyhound racing. It’s time to bring an end to the needless exploitation, harm and deaths of these beautiful animals 💚 #GPC24

Change? Nope, just more austerity, continuing to target the most disadvantaged and vulnerable. What is the point of Labour?
