What I'd like to know is how many of them have done their volunteering work, speak perfect Spanish, and have passed their Life in Spain test.
If they can't come the legal way, they need to go back where they came from.
...crap, we don't want them though
Lots of people are angry - and they have every right to be.
The chancers in Reform want that anger directed at refugees and other vulnerable groups, not the greedy landlords, tax avoiders and billionaires actually making life so difficult for everyone else.
Every week weβre proving it β through local victories, new councillors, and growing confidence across the country.
The message is clear: Greens can win here. Greens can win anywhere.

I was Southwark Green Partyβs coordinator during the 2015 Green Surge.
This is a whole new level.

Green Party policies haven't changed - we are still driving for a fairer, more equal society with justice for planet and people.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.
Why we should study Cable Street.
#Handsworth and #Birmingham as a whole, is wonderfully, beautifully integrated.
It's full of #Brummies.

It's so incredible how low homicide rates are in Europe. The UK, with a population of 70 million people, had fewer than 600 murders in 2023.

This is a lie.
There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iβve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Two years on, we remember the horrific events of 7 October.
We call today, and every day, for an end toΒ theΒ violence.
If you can't see how this will end, then you're not paying attention (not least to what's going on on the other side of the Atlantic).
Anyone who doesn't think the primary or only problem of small boat crossings is that THEY ARE UNSAFE AND PEOPLE DROWN has simply lost all humanity.
What should happen: National revulsion, hounded out of public life
What will happen: New set design for Sky News as three very, very right wing parties fight out The Deportation Election
I cried so hard another member handed me a tissue! π
My two stand-out highlights of Green Party conference were @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social's Deputy Leaders' speeches. Grounded, emotional, and inspiring.
Well worth watching in full:

The title of the motion was a headline grab. It's actual detail is a plan to minimise landlordism through a multi-pronged approach including property taxes and social housing.
Starmer put down his fork and asked what the meat was.
Mrs S: It's tofu, it's vegan.
S: And where's my razor?
Mrs S: Morgan says you should have designer stubble.
S: We're not moving to Hackney are we?
Mrs S: If it comes to it you might have to marry Morgan.
S: But we filled the house with flags!
CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.
ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't
CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.
ISILDUR: true
Israelβs war on #Gaza has dragged on far too long. Over the past two years, Israeli forces have killed over 66,000 people, including 15 of our staff.
We call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire, an end to the siege and access for independent humanitarian aid at scale.

I'm really glad that the Green Party have caught up with the Labour Party on their excellent "No Landlordism" platform...of 1902. #gpconf

An image of a BBC headline reads "We're Zooming up the fast track - Greens". There is an image of Rachel Millward and below a quote from the article says "We're zooming up the fast track - We've got better Comms, we've got somebody out front who can take on Farage. It is the moment for the Greens to step forward." - Rachel Millward

What an amazing @greenparty.org.uk Conference
The atmosphere was electric, feeling energised and hopeful!
For those feeling politically homeless, the alternative to the main parties is here, ready to fight for the rights of ordinary people
It's time you joined our movement

No, in the end. As a member I am troubled by the situation.
It's funny: the Green Party has always been this party but it's good to have people who are able to cut through, @zackpolanski.bsky.social . Strong, positive messages from @mothinali.bsky.social and @rachelmillward.bsky.social too. Thank you. The alternative is terrifying.
