As Reform MPs have demonstrated, there is almost no transparency when it comes to political lobbying. That is why every quarter I publish a log of my private policy meeting with campaigners, unions and businesses. Every MP should do this. Read my latest log: www.sianberry.org.uk/news/sian-be...

Yet again, the Government is failing to treat the climate emergency with any sense of urgency at all. Climate-wrecking airport growth mainly helps people spend money abroad, when we could invest in green transport, connecting people to brilliant domestic destinations like, er, Brighton instead.

Losing access to our drinking water is a huge risk. Over half of the country is in drought, yet we're losing 3bn litres of water daily through leaky pipes - which water companies won't fix because it's not profitable. Public ownership NOW to protect the public vist.ly/5duz4

⚠️ It's been the driest July on record. ❓️ But have you heard Andy Burnham say anything about the #ClimateCrisis? 🛢 Instead, he says he is "open-minded" about new North Sea oil and gas. 🟢 Only the Green Party will tackle the climate crisis with the urgency it demands.

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports. Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round. A missed opportunity? @eastangliabylines.co.uk

You can't fix a broken system by shutting voices out. If Andy Burnham wants a lasting solution to the social care crisis, we have proposals worth hearing.

BBC News report that the Met police will take no action against Zack Polanski "The Greens say it was clear at the start that there was no crime" "Reform UK say: Mr Polanski has been allowed to get away with inciting murder"

If Andy Burnham truly wants to put politics aside to grip social care, the Greens should be at the table. Last month, I sat down listening to the experiences of carers. We need new thinking and urgent change now: m.youtube.com/watch?v=HbJJ...
