I fear we’ll see the same philosophy applied to the Labour government’s budget this week.

@RBReichSep 30
Republicans keep saying Congress doesn’t need to regulate AI because Big Tech can regulate itself. This is just another form of deregulation under Trump, where financial gains go to the top while the risks and losses trickle down to the rest of us.

“We need to make the transition as fast as possible, not least because genuinely, the future of our kids depends on this.” Ellie Chowns makes the case for accelerating the transition to clean, renewable energy following Labour's approval of Jackdaw on #BBCQT.

Criticising Jackdaw isn't nonsense. Labour putting fossil fuel profits ahead of people and the planet is.

You may have seen ITV’s investigation of Reform. We’ve won Castle Bromwich twice before. If you want to help us win it back, and help us grow, you can donate here: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/castle-b…

Castle Bromwich deserves better

Castle Bromwich elected Green Party Councillors twice before. Help us give Solihull residents decent, hardworking local councillors again

Martin Abram's speech to full council last night about his experiences as a Jewish man facing antisemitism, the dangers of turning antisemitism into a political football, and our drive to make Lambeth a borough of sanctuary and solidarity for all – no hatred used to divide us!

Councillors and candidates for Reform UK have been recorded making racist, anti-Muslim and misogynistic comments by undercover reporters for ITV's Exposure programme. Two of them even talk about keeping their views quiet until they are elected.

Wow. What a campaign. Thank you to the 1000+ volunteers today and everyone throughout the campaign. The Green Party got 10% last time. Whatever happens tonight - we made Labour work like they never have before. I'm so proud of you all. 💚🙏🏽

“It’s a proposal to fund councils to not just build, but also, in addition, buy council homes, which they then can use as real council homes.” Siân Berry on her Buy the Supply panel at Green Party Conference.

Three years on, we remember the horrific events of October 7 and the wave of destruction in Gaza that has followed it. We call today, and every day, for an end to the violence, for peace and safety for all.

Solihull Green councillors are united in the belief that every resident of this borough has the right to feel safe, valued and welcome here, whoever they are and whatever their faith. We stand against all forms of discrimination or harassment. That is why we brought ‘From Words to Action’ to this Council in April. We are disappointed that despite it being referred on to scrutiny and governance, neither have yet considered it. We reaffirm every commitment in that motion today. Words are not enough. We want this Council to adopt its anti-racist strategy, fund it, and build it with Solihull’s Jewish, Muslim and other communities, so that every resident knows they belong here. Solihull is, and must remain, a tolerant and inclusive borough, where everyone feels safe and welcome.

I am deeply saddened the ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion has passed. It doesn't reflect Green principles or my own view. The Green Party has long supported the principle of self-determination, and I stand by our 2024 manifesto commitment of equal rights of Israelis and Palestinians.

From Park Benches To Apartheid Two white men tell a young non-white man to leave a bench. The warning is stark: when people are told where they may sit because of race, Jim Crow and apartheid stop sounding distant. Push someone off a bench who refuses, and find out what happens.⁊
