Labour has abused our attempts at electoral cooperation
And weaponised the Progressive Alliance to damage @TheGreenParty
At the next general election we must stand in every seat and fight to win

Disappointing to hear @AnasSarwar talking about windpower in terms of community stake and community partnership but not community *ownership*
It’s 15 years now since I co-authored a paper arguing that this is the way to unlock our renewable potential

Re @dicpagebrighton @martin_westall This is a disagreement between Labour and Greens, it seems. Labour support a national energy company, publicly owned, with some of the profits/surplus going to people where the energy is generated. Greens support renewable energy schemes owned and controlled by local people

Utter and chilling cowardice
Good on you, @CarolineRussell, and on all elected Greens who have the courage to challenge the rise of authoritarianism

Don’t talk to me about restructuring or different financing of #NHS75 until we have:
🧑🏻⚕️ Staff pay to match inflation
👵🏻 Publicly funded social care
🛌 As many hospital beds as Germany

Today marks 6 months since Rishi Sunak invited the public to judge him on his six pledges, including stopping the boats, halving inflation and cutting waiting lists.
