15 years ago today the Tory & Lib Dem government tripled tuition fees. Young people, our economy and society are robbed of the learning and skills university offers whilst graduates face average debt of ยฃ53,000. Education should be a right, not a privilege. Scrap tuition fees.

This is very clear and concise. Well worth a watch. If you agree please share and join the Green Party.
What would The Green Party do differently from Rachel Reeves? Pretty much everything. But here's some pointers in the meantime.

Policy of @TheGreenParty - bring in a #WealthTax
Over the last 50 years wealth has soared - but wealth tax revenues have not. While household wealth has more than doubled relative to national income over the past half-century, the revenues raised from wealth taxes have failed to follow suit. โฌ‡๏ธ resolutionfoundation.org/pubโ€ฆ

Some people don't like the word 'Islamophobic'. I'm trying to think of another word that describes 'attacking a mosque' or 'attacking people because they "look Muslim".'

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem. It doesn't. Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press. Britain has a problem with racism. Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem. RT if you agree.

Sending all of our thoughts and solidarity to everyone who has been affected by far-right violence this weekend. Huge thanks and kudos to the many community leaders who have faced down hatred with cool heads and compassion. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

Free legal advice: You donโ€™t have to attend a riot to be prosecuted for conspiracy to riot. You donโ€™t have to be present at a terrorist incident to be guilty of encouraging it. A lot of Twitter warriors will be getting some unpleasant knocks on the door over the coming weeks.

I am appalled by what has taken place in cities across the UK this weekend. We have seen racists terrorising local communities, raiding shops owned by people of colour, and what look terrifyingly like attempted lynch mobs. The racist protesters have been chanting โ€œstop the boats". We all know where this poisonous rhetoric has come from. This MUST be a wake-up call to all politicians who have actively promoted or given in to the rhetoric of immigration being a threat to this country. My home city of Bristol is a proudly diverse and welcoming city. The hatred and organised political violence of those who came to intimidate our communities has no place here and we stand proudly against Islamophobia, racism and all forms of hate. I thank the police for their efforts to contain those intent on violence and maintain safety in the city, and thank those who came out in peaceful support of the UK as a tolerant and welcoming country. Our work now is to unite - in Bristol and nationally - to support those who feel unsafe and targeted by this hatred, and to build that unity against the far-rightโ€™s racism, Islamophobia and violence.

Who is brave enough to back Brazilโ€™s global tax on billionaires? asks @GeorgeMonbiot. @TheGreenParty most definitely is - a #WealthTax on the ultra-rich is our party policy. Labour will find some flimsy excuse not to upset its billionaire donors. theguardian.com/commentisfreโ€ฆ

Insulate homes. Warm in the winter. Cool in the summer. Creates jobs. Reduces emissions. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ
๐Ÿ Insulating every home in Britain will be expensive. But its also a huge, and vital, investment. โœ… Our country needs @TheGreenParty tax on multimillionaires & billionaires. ๐Ÿ’š Thanks to @vicderbyshire & @BBCNewsnight for the chance to set out our plans! #Newsnight
