"Labour are handing this country on a plate to Nigel Farage" - @ZackPolanski

Greens are building real, hopeful and community-focused political solutions; whilst Labour and Reform amplify division to protect their billionaire-backed vested interests.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

Chancellor talks about budget for strong public services yet Treasury rowing back on Labour manifesto promise that the #NHS would be "publicly owned and publicly funded" with worrying revival of #PFI for neighbourhood health centres

The two-child benefit cap is finally in the bin.

Govt was made to do the right thing by Greens and campaigners, but too many families have been harmed by Labour foot-dragging.

The unjust overall benefit cap must end too for every child in poverty to be helped. #Budget

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Good to hear Rachel Reeves finally attack the 2 child benefit cap - but if Labour were so much against it, why’s it taken them so long to scrap it? And why were Labour MPs suspended for saying *exactly* the same last year? There’s no moral high ground here #budget2025

Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.

Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.

Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Entitled to lower bills.

Entitled to a liveable planet.

Entitled to make hope normal again.

Know your entitlement. Know our collective power.

My thoughts with all who lost loved ones or still struggle with effects of #Covid. Confirmation of “toxic & chaotic culture” at heart of Govt; that they did “too little, too late” & that faster action could have saved over 20K lives is still horrifying https://t.co/Q9YinXaI3V

[Sian Berry @sianberry]

Next week’s budget must deliver justice for hard-pressed families by fully scrapping the cruel two-child benefit cap and fairly taxing wealth.

With @TheGreenParty colleagues I have written to the Chancellor with a very simple message: Cut bills. Tax billionaires.

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

At the Budget, the Green Party's message is clear: Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

Poverty affects almost a third of children in the UK.

Labour could choose to lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty immediately by fully scrapping the two-child benefit cap.

Remember: child poverty is a political choice.

[Mothin Ali @MothinAli]

Good to see Green MPs help vote down Farage's attempt to destroy our rights against
- torture
- slavery and forced labour
- discrimination
- And rights TO a fair trial
- freedom of thought, expression, conscience, and religion.
ALL enshrined by the ECHR.

Proud to be part of such a principled team!

An extraordinary realignment of British politics

If you want to see @TheGreenParty take on Reform - this is the moment

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

@Keir_Starmer will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

If a general election happened tomorrow and only people under 50 were allowed to vote, Zack Polanski would become the UK’s next prime minister, according to new polling from YouGov.

The Green party is currently winning an astounding 25% of the vote among under-50s, and is even further ahead - at 39% - among 18 to 24-year-olds.

Labour, meanwhile, is polling worse than ever before, with 50% of voters defecting since 2024. 18% of those who supported Keir Starmer just last year now say they would vote Green, 13% Lib Dem, 11% Reform and 5% Tory.

Reform is still polling on top among the general population, with 27% of the overall vote. Nigel Farage’s party remains particularly popular with older people, especially 50 to 64-year-olds who gave it 36% of their vote.

But Reform does seem to have plateaued for the time being, polling just under its May and September high of 29%.

The Green party, meanwhile, has seen a startling rise in vote share in recent months, gaining six points in the polls since Polanski became leader at the beginning of September. In 2024, the party won just 6.7% of the overall vote - it’s now polling at 16%.

On Monday, the party said it had exceeded 150,000 members, more than double the number it had under its former co-leaders Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns.

YouGov has Labour and the Tories neck and neck on 17%, with the Lib Dems on 15%.

The new polling comes shortly after Labour suffered a humiliating defeat in Caerphilly last week, finishing third behind Plaid Cymru and Reform. Many have speculated that this could be a portent of things to come, with Keir Starmer potentially on course for a devastating defeat in next May’s election. The poll today will no doubt add to the party’s fears.
