Just joined the Greens, after a lifetime of voting Labor. Feels like a great relief to support a party that acknowledges the Genocide of Palestinians.

40p a week? What are they trying to do here, because it's more likely to wind people up than anything else?
Jon Kay to Reynolds: "You're planning to remove import taxes from products like chocolate, gherkins, marmalade. Your own figures say that will save the average household 40p a week. At a time when [bills] are going up, do you really think people are going to notice 40p a week?"

Hannah Peaker from the @NEF explains that if you equalise capital gains tax with income tax so you tax wealth at the same rate as work, along with sorting out some of the problems with CGT, some estimates say you could raise £19.7 billion a year.

"I do support the Labour Party, not the benefits party, & Labour, the clue is in the name, its the party of work" No, Labour was established to represent the interests of the working class, but its easy to understand why a multi millionaire company boss would rather it didn't.

I'm guessing if standing charges will be scrapped, the amount they charge for the gas will increase to cover it #gmb

Madeley: "Do you think welfare spendings out of control?" Maguire: "I don't think its out of control if you look at the total figure.. its only 10.6% of the economy, which is low by European standards" Singh: "And over half of the welfare budget is pensions, the state pension"

Today’s budget looks like being worse for our future and the young than even anything Starmer came up with. A budget based on approval of mass new oil drilling is a betrayal of our future.
EXCL: The giant Rosebank oilfield can be approved without breaching the UK’s emission targets, according to government insiders, in a boost to those in the cabinet who are pushing for it to be given the go-ahead. Sources also say the Treasury has already accounted for billions of pounds’ worth of tax revenue from Rosebank and so would be faced with a shortfall should it be rejected.

🗣 @MothinAli: "Anyone doing a day’s work, needs to be paid the same rate for the same job. A young person’s rent and food bill is no less because they are young, so they need to receive the same wage." The Green Party would raise the minimum wage to £15 an hour. For all.

Come on, Burnham.
"It's time for this government to show some energy and some bravery and put the water companies into special administration - and then, of course, into public ownership". 💯@GreenJennyJones. It's time to end the rip-off and take private water companies in England back into public hands.

When Starmer sold the party to the BoD in return for their blessing, and by doing so expelled socialist and many left wing Jews, I promised I'd never vote @UKLabour again, and I'll stand by that statement until my last breath
You have to laugh at those suggesting the left return to Labour. We have never been more opposed to that party. It goes against everything a socialist believes. They said they don’t need the left and we are absolutely fine with that. You made your bed, lie in it!

People around the world are uniting to say no to Trump. Yet Andy Burnham does the opposite by approving the Jackdaw gas field.

"Take back your condemnation of the ethnic cleansing by Zionists or we won't collect your recycling!"
I have joined Birmingham Labour colleagues in writing to the Council Leader. Green cabinet members must publicly disown their party’s “Zionism is Racism” motion. If they refuse, the power sharing agreement must end. Standing against racism requires leadership and action. 👇🏽

Marmalade and gherkins. Let's say that again, just so it sinks in: marmalade. And gherkins.
UK Chancellor pledges cheaper marmalade and gherkins in pre-Budget package of 'everyday fixes'. Fiddling at the edges. Need redistribution of income and wealth. End profiteering in housing, energy, water, essentials. Increase tax personal allowance. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6d9…

Our petition for a public inquiry into Britain’s role in Gaza has hit 10,000 signatures. Now, let’s get it to 100,000 to force a debate. The public deserves to know the full scale of Britain’s complicity in genocide. Sign here: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Good grief. Here's Michael Gove saying Zack Polanski is worse than Jeremy Corbyn on antisemitism — because Corbyn only allowed it accidentally, whereas Polanski is doing it on purpose. A spectacular new low in the antisemitism smearing war against critics of Israel.
