There are 171 billionaires in the UK, with a fortune of almost £600bn combined.
There are 14 million people living in poverty.
These billionaires could give every person living in poverty £30,000 EACH and STILL be billionaires.
Now tell me again why we can’t tax the rich?
When I was elected Chair of Salford & Bury Green Party in a meeting four weeks ago, 12 people attended in a less than half empty room.
Last night, we held a new member's meeting with 60 people and we ran out of chairs!
It's great to feel real hope in politics again 💚

Very hard to feel anything else right now except complete and utter dread.
I can’t imagine what women and marginalised communities in America, and the people of Gaza and Ukraine are thinking this morning.
A truly dark day for humanity and our planet.

Had a great time at my first Salford & Bury @TheGreenParty meeting tonight - so lovely to meet other members in my local area and learn about our plans over the next 18 months.
Can’t wait to start campaigning to #GetGreensElected 💚

Feeling energised after a really insightful training day with @TheGreenParty on how to win council seats.
Can’t wait to get stuck in with my local party in Bury & Salford to #GetGreensElected 💚

Having had a self-imposed break from politics to change career, get married and move house I’m ready to get stuck in again. Delighted to say I’ve joined @TheGreenParty 💚
A big thank you to everyone who made today possible - feeling truly inspired and hopeful for the future with @tf_politics.

The politics of the Corbyn-era, which inspired me & millions of others, has been taken away & replaced with a politics of hate, fear & greed.
It's time to come together to provide a real alternative: to transform our politics, our society and & planet.

In this time of multiple crises we need a real alternative to the status quo, not more of the same.
It’s clear that the Labour Party won’t be that, so we need to do it ourselves.

Funny how Labour won’t tax the super-rich because ‘we’re taxed at the highest point since WW2’, but young people are fair game

Very proud of all the hard work they’ve put into their campaigns ✊

As someone who has family members who struggle with gambling addiction I find it disgraceful that frontline politicians take donations or gifts from an industry that profits off people’s misery and then have the audacity to try and justify it.
It’s simply indefensible. – at North West, England
It was amazing to be at #TheBigOne with other Breakthrough & Left Unity members today on #EarthDay 🌍
An incredibly emotional day, but one which has filled me with a lot of hope for the future 💚
