📈 20% of children in poverty - with rates as high as 50% in some areas - is staggering.

⁉️ So - why are the government keeping the two-child benefit cap now they've changed their "fiscal rules"?

@TheGreenParty is clear: #ScrapTheCap!

[Brighton & Hove Green Party @BHGreens]

All four Green MPs - including our very own @sianberry - are right behind this hugely important bill.💚 Will our city's other MPs @chriswardmp and @peterkyle be backing this vital, science-backed call to tackle the climate and nature crisis effectively?

[BBC Leeds @BBCLeeds]

A BBC investigation has found councils have stopped running 183 libraries - this is the impact in West Yorkshire.

[Tom Scott 🇺🇦 @Tom___Scott]

Zane's Law on identifying & remediating dangerous toxic landfill sites passed unanimously by @TheGreenParty conference! Great moment after years of tireless campaigning by Zane's parents Kye & Nicole.

#GPC24 gives Kye a standing ovation as he thanks @natalieben & other Greens.

[Matt Rogan @MattRxgan]

Apologies I can't join you in person! I've had to make my way back to Leeds.

I will, however, be joining the plenary online!

[Mothin Ali @MothinAli]

The team from @LeedsGreenParty talking to greens across the country about how we broke through in Leeds in 23/24. Change is coming, watch this space! The future is green!

[North Yorkshire Council @northyorksc]

A new collection of books to help people living with dementia and their families is available in #NorthYorkshire's #libraries.

The collection has been put together by @readingagency and people living with dementia, carers and health professionals.

[Al Pinkerton MP @AlPinkerton]

Yvette Cooper has just confirmed that the now-aborted Rwanda Scheme cost the U.K. taxpayer £700m to send just 4 “volunteers” to Rwanda.

And that the previous govt budgeted a total £10 Billion cost.

Has there ever been government waste on this scale?

[Jenny Jones @GreenJennyJones]

Lovely to meet up with my colleague @sianberry, MP for #BrightonPavilion at an art event. We missed getting a photo with @exitthelemming ☹️

[Leeds Green Party @LeedsGreenParty]

@MothinAli is inviting members of the local community & Leeds Greens to come together to discuss & share ideas on a theme of Leeds: A City of Belonging

With special guest: Green Party peer @natalieben & faith leaders from the local Christian, Muslim and Romani communities.

[Carla Denyer @carla_denyer]

We, the new @thegreenparty MPs - @AdrianRamsay @sianberry @EllieChowns and I - have all spoken in the chamber already, we've put down an amendment to the King's Speech, and submitted a motion on water companies.

What difference can 4 MPs make? Well let's see...

[Mothin Ali @MothinAli]

Greens converge in Harehills to offer support and reassurance to the community. Some of us have been here since the early morning to help bridge police/community relations and help keep the situation calm.

[Mothin Ali @MothinAli]

Outside agitators are not welcome, but if you're willing to listen and learn I'll happily host you!

[Brian McHugh 🌏🏳️‍🌈 @BrianMcHugh2011]

Our rivers are dying.

Our lakes are dying.

This isn't an accident.

Nobody has been jailed for this.

They get paid bonuses.

A system where climate protestors get sent to prison for 5 years but water company execs receive huge bonuses whilst pumping sewage into the water will collapse.

We need to stand against corporate greed & stand up for the right to protest & our planet.

[Carla Denyer @carla_denyer]

I wish President Biden well and thank him for his many years of public service.

This cannot have been an easy decision for him. But to take a decision that is personally difficult, but that is in the public interest, is a true sign of leadership.

This sentence is obscene. Why are we punishing the people trying to prevent disaster while allowing the oil company giants causing it to reap super profits?
