The climate crisis is a food crisis, but “The UK is one of the least food self-sufficient countries in Europe.” Nor do we stockpile food the way other countries do, making us very vulnerable to shocks in a very centralised system.

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.

The Green Party has been consistent on our position.
We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.
And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.
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.
Momentum keeps on building: “The Greens are now the most popular party in all age categories under 50”

Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.
In other news, there has been no rise in the cost of #sun and #wind due to the attacks on Iran…
The US invading another country never leads to peace, democracy or economic stability.
It always leads to the mass privatisation of that country's assets and resources.
As @zackpolanski.bsky.social says, the attack on Iran is “illegal and unprovoked” This is not our war and we shouldn’t join it.
In 2003, we warned against the catastrophic consequences of US-led regime change in Iraq.
We were ignored — and hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives.
Political leaders should learn the lessons of history, and stand up for international law, sovereignty and peace.

A campaign flyer for the Green Party, with the logo and a green background, then a voting cross next to Hannah Spencer’s name, and the slogan “The only vote to stop Reform”
Congratulations Hannah!!! First campaign promise kept - a vote for you did indeed stop Reform, a victory of hope over hate 💚💚💚
Farage brought us the economic & security disaster of Brexit, and now this car crash for our public services

A graphic in Green Party NI’s navy blue and mint green colour scheme. A halftone-filtered image of a group of people forms the background. Bold white text in the lower half reads ‘NO HUMAN BEING IS ILLEGAL’. The Green Party logo sits below the text, with the legal imprint ‘Published & Promoted by Green Party NI, PO Box 369, Bangor, BT20 9FJ’ at the bottom.
In Northern Ireland, we know what it costs when labels replace humanity. We’ve lived it.
When politicians call people “illegal migrants”, they’re not being neutral, they’re using language that human rights bodies have condemned as inaccurate and dehumanising.

So in the midst of a crisis of trust in politics & politicians, Labour go with this?
“After nearly 20,000 doorstep conversations, one message rings out: people want to trust politics again.
I want to help rebuild that trust... the people who keep this country going deserve a real say in how it’s run.”
Go Hannah! 💚

Green Party NI social media graphic with a stone/concrete textured background. At the top in large bold dark teal and black text the headline reads ‘NEW LEADER. OLD PLAYBOOK. WRONG TARGET.’ displayed on three separate lines for emphasis. Below this is a collage of two overlapping documents: on the left the Sunday Life newspaper front page with the headline ‘CONMAN GIVEN 770 YEARS TO REPAY £40K BENEFITS FRAUD STILL LIVING THE HIGH LIFE’ with a red banner reading ‘CONVICTED SCAMMER DOCKED’; overlapping this on the right is a Facebook post from Jon Burrows MLA calling for a fundamental reset in Northern Ireland politics and questioning the £1 per week repayment terms, alongside a partially visible inside page of the Sunday Life with the headline ‘Ex-soldier from Enniskillen jets off to Spain and enjoys spa breaks while thousands in welfare cash lands in his account each month.’ At the bottom of the graphic is a blue wave design containing the Green Party logo in white and green, and the legal text ‘Published & Promoted by Green Party NI, PO Box 369, Bangor, BT20 9FJ.’
£40k benefits fraud. Front page outrage.
Meanwhile millions in tax avoidance? Silence.
Supermarkets posting record profits while families skip meals? Silence.
Energy companies extracting billions while people freeze? Silence.

Great to see progressive voices uniting!
There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.
That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.
We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.
“Number of overseas nurses and midwives registered between April and September was half that of a year ago” - so is it migrants or racism putting pressure on the NHS?
