Newham Greens

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Oh bringing the receipts @zackpolanski.bsky.social and rightly so.

The UK’s relationship with India must be built not only with governments and corporations, but with people.

A genuine partnership means fair trade and social and environmental justice — not deals that benefit a few while communities and ecosystems pay the price.

Israel launches huge strikes against south Beirut after mass evacuation order Residents fled Lebanese capital in panic before assaults on claimed Hezbollah targets while Tehran continues to launch retaliatory attacks

Israeli forces launching massive airstrikes in southern Beirut only hours after issuing an evacuation order for the over 500,000 people living there displays an utter disregard for civilian lives. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon.

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

More than 1200 people have been killed across Iran, with many more injured and hospitals under attack.

No nation should be able to break intl law with impunity - civilians and healthcare facilities must be protected and those responsible for illegal attacks held to account.

Image shows Sian Berry stood to the left of campaigner Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, and surrounded by a group of clean air campaigners. All of them are smiling and holding a copy of Ella's Law - the Clean Air (Human Rights Bill).

Image shows Rosamund Adoo-Kiss-Debrah sat next to Sian with a copy of Ella's Law on the table in front of them. They are both reading the Bill that is named in memory of Rosamund's daughter Ella who died aged nine due to exposure to air pollution.

Ella’s Law has been published 👏

No child should have the growth of their lungs stunted because of dirty air where they live and play, yet this is the reality of air pollution in England. Ella’s Law would change this.

My thanks to Rosamund and all the hard-working campaigners demanding change.

The Israeli military is rightly banned from using government-owned Prestwick Airport because of their genocidal assault on Palestine.

The Scottish Government accepts that Trump and Israel's attack on Iran is in clear violation of international law.

The American miliary should now be banned as well

Rules demanding identical passport names risk discriminating against women who are legally required to use different surnames.

The government must clarify the exemption and guarantee fair treatment.

Our drug policy makes sense, @greendrugpolicy.bsky.social. The war on drugs has failed we need take a public health approach to help people, that means legalise and regulate and follow advice from proper health professionals.

The Young Greens are now the largest youth political movement in the UK, with over 45,000 members! Young people are craving hope and change, and they're finding it in the Green Party. 💚

Labour PM can't even be bothered to finish abolishing *feudalism*, they're never gonna get around to capitalism

The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold.

He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold.

5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.

Solidarity, Mothin 💚

One of the main reasons I joined the Green Party is because they are the only party ready to take on the criminal racket of landlords and developers that have parts of this country in a chokehold. Vote Green.

Labour say their economic plan is working.

Who for?

Families trying to put food on the table? Renters facing yet another rent hike? Billpayers lining the pockets of water company shareholders?

It's time for the Government to get real on the cost of living crisis.

As Mayor, I'll ensure we have the best possible environment to live in and this includes having the best possible environment to cycle in. I am happy to commit to improving cycling infrastructure across Newham and I'll look to invest in measures that increase cycle safety and confidence.

4/4

I'm a driver with very limited cycling experience. I used to cycle a bit when I was a kid and have cycled twice in London (in a cycle lane, for fun). But I recognise the importance of ensuring we have excellent cycling infrastructure so that people can cycle safely and with confidence.
