If you want Green, you have to vote Green.

Today @friends_earth & @greenpeaceuk have released their assessments of the party manifestos & the results show the Green Party has the strongest fully costed policies for the environment.

[Carla Denyer @carla_denyer]

We're going to need a bigger garden...👀

Great to see #VoteGreen placards on A357 & A30 as I was out & about in the #Wincanton area
Didn’t see ONE Tory placard on my journey from #Glastonbury… in previous Elections, the fields would be full…
Promoted by Jon Cousins (Green Party), at 17 Great George St, Bristol BS15QT

Professor Curtice produced a cool version of this insightful chart on Friday morning for @BBCPolitics (on change in Vote% – hope he updates this 🙏)

h/t @CareforYeovil for this version 💚

The real story of #LE2024 is Voters losing patience with the tired establishment Parties…

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

🗣️ "When you give us your trust you are also showing politicians in other parties that you expect more from them too."

@carla_denyer sets out our plan for the year ahead ⬇️

[Ewan Jones 💚 @ewgjones]

It struck me on 28 October, when the dramatic 9 May downpour was repeated so soon, how similar 2023's weather had been to 1978-79.

In 1978 our family home had been flooded deeper than it had been on two subsequent occasions during the 45 years that Mum lived there…

[Ewan Jones 💚 @ewgjones]

… "The #ClimateCrisis that we face is too important to politicise or to ignore."

[Ewan Jones 💚 @ewgjones]

"I cannot vote for the [Offshore Petroleum Licensing] Bill Next week. The future will judge harshly those that do"

Refreshing to see a #Conservative politician who both respects scientific evidence and demonstrates moral courage.

"… I can no longer stand by…"

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Tory MP Chris Skidmore quits over oil & gas licences. Memo to Sunak - this is what principled politics looks like. A real pleasure working with ⁦@CSkidmoreUK⁩ on climate & he’ll be much missed. Huge indictment of Govt reckless maxing out fossil fuels https://t.co/lNsSi7R2og

[Carla Denyer @carla_denyer]

I have hope because I’m part of a movement that looks at the world's troubles and has the courage to propose something different, rather than retreating to the safety of past policies that have already failed

There is a future of hope – if you want to choose it 💚

"Fair funding for #Somerset"

Statement from Somerset Green Councillors…

"The central Government, which encouraged Somerset to become a single Council, now needs to step in with extra resources to enable Somerset not to fail at the first hurdle."

'It's time for a wealth tax'

Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer spoke to #BBCBreakfast ahead their annual conference

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

📺 "We have huge wealth inequality in this country and even a modest tax on the multimillionaires would raise around £10 billion."

@carla_denyer explains our plan to tax income and wealth more fairly and make sure everyone has an affordable, warm and secure home.
