"National security is threatened by dependency on fossil fuels. Sticking with fossil fuels through to 2050 costs double what transitioning off them would." Green Party Deputy Leader, Rachel Millward, takes on Reform's climate denial at the Oxford Union.

Given our consistent engagement on the adult social care crisis and willingness to work together to solve it, it's deeply disappointing that the Greens weren't invited to today's cross-party talks. We need all hands on deck to tackle this issue - the Greens remain ready to work cross-party to do so.

Dear Andy, 29 July 2026 I welcome your commitment to addressing the challenge of fixing social care, an issue which has for too long been neglected and treated as a political football. There are no shortage of reports and proposals on how to change things; what has been missing for far too long is the political will to do so. I am therefore glad to see that you have committed to spending political capital on securing positive change. I also agree that cross-party working is essential to best face this challenge. Indeed, I have repeatedly called in Parliament for cross-party talks, and I have represented the Green Party at the (so far, only two) cross-party meetings convened as part of the Casey Commission’s work, in September 2025 and May 2026. I expressed my strong desire for more frequent and in-depth cross-party discussions at that most recent meeting, as well as consistently calling on the government to show greater political leadership on this issue. It was therefore disappointing to learn yesterday that only two political parties had been invited to meet with you today, at very short notice, to discuss social care. I am puzzled as to why you did not extend an invitation to the Green Party, given our long track record of positive engagement in this area and our frequent expressions of interest in, and support for, cross-party work on social care. Failing to extend an invitation to your first cross-party meeting on the topic is, frankly, not consistent with your stated commitment to working cooperatively across party lines. I remain very keen to work constructively with you and other cross-party colleagues to find solutions to the crisis in social care, so that we can meet the needs and uphold the interests of people who draw on care, their families and other unpaid carers, and all those who work in the care sector. I look forward to hearing from you.

Energy bills are soaring, and the King is making profit at our expense. King Charles says he cares about the environment, so you’d expect him to stand behind cheap, clean power. Sign the petition to demand the Crown Estate lower fees on seabeds and make wind farms more affordable. act.gp/48TINlv

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

Despite it being obvious that the time of two-party politics is over, the govt laid out no plans to introduce a fairer voting system in the King's Speech. That's why Green MPs tabled an amendment on the need to bring in proportional representation and make every voice heard.

A screenshot of the Parliamentary Order Paper for 14/5/26. Text reads "1. King’s Speech (Motion for an Address): Adjourned Debate [13 May] Until 5.00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3)) Proposed subject for debate: Getting Britain working again That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, as follows: Most Gracious Sovereign, We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has addressed to both Houses of Parliament." Underneath that further text reads "Amendment (b) Dr Ellie Chowns Siân Berry Adrian Ramsay Carla Denyer Hannah Spencer At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to include measures to introduce proportional representation for all national and local elections before the next General Election.’"
