A vote for your Green candidate means youโ€™re backing a local representative who truly cares about your local area. It also sends a message to the establishment parties that enough is enough.

Time to prioritise better housing, safer streets and a greener, fairer future for Rochdale. #LocalElections

Ellaโ€™s Law has been published ๐Ÿ‘

No child should have the growth of their lungs stunted because of dirty air where they live and play, yet this is the reality of air pollution in England. Ellaโ€™s Law would change this.

My thanks to Rosamund and all the hard-working campaigners demanding change.

The grip of protecting the wealthy & powerful is so tight on this government - that not even the memories of those who died in a burning building can make them do the right thing.

Beyond shameful.

Very poor from lots of the media.

Huge report makes it clear we need systemic change - and not focus on individual action.

And then why choose a pic of a fry up instead of say posh roast beef with all the trimmings?

The actual report makes clear how we can improve peoples living standards.
