In 60 days, the UK will head to the polls.

No, it's not a General Election.

It's the Local Elections including the Scottish and Welsh elections.

Here’s what you can do to help get Greens elected:

1) Join @greenparty.org.uk or @scottishgreens.org
2) get involved

Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.

He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.

Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war.

Our Deputy Leader and local councillor @mothinali.bsky.social has been subject to death threats in part due to false claims made by Keir Starmer and other senior MPs and media figures.

This must stop. We stand in full solidarity with Mothin.

The greens are finally coming under serious scrutiny+ and they're rattled

The greens are finally coming under serious scrutiny+ and they're rattled

Telegraph acknowledges Green Party has won a "seismic byelection."

And then there have been two polls this week showing us way in front of Labour and closing in on Reform?

Rattled? We're growing rapidly!

Labour say their economic plan is working.

Who for?

Families trying to put food on the table? Renters facing yet another rent hike? Billpayers lining the pockets of water company shareholders?

It's time for the Government to get real on the cost of living crisis.

The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold.

He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold.

5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.

Thank you to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for your clear support for the trans community. In a political climate where too many are stepping back, visible allyship from political leaders matters.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

I saw how the Greens channelled voters’ anger – and fused it with hope. That’s why they won in Gorton and Denton | Owen Jones Starmer called the byelection a battle for the nation’s soul. This result shows Labour has lost that – and I think it will lose much more, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The politics of hope are back.

The politics of fear are in crisis.
