"It is clear that Labour needs the Greens to keep them in check everyday to push them towards the real transformation this country needs." @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the Prime Minister's speech at Labour conference.

A fairer voting system can't wait until after the next general election. We need electoral reform now.

"Privatised water has failed and must be taken into public ownership now."

Labour are worried. They've had the Foreign Secretary, the Chancellor, the Mayor of London & the Prime Minister out in Holborn & St Pancras but we've got you. Hundreds of thousands of you who care & are making a difference! Donate today to help us win: donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk/london-by-el...

Let's get our sixth Green MP elected - Green Party

"This is yet another example of the corrosive revolving door between politics and big business lobbying that has no place in public life." @sianberry.bsky.social responds to Labour Peer Tom Watson being hired by US spy-tech giant Palantir.

“A real test of this government will be torule out new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. The reason they have decided not to announce that before the by-election in Holborn and St Pancras is incredibly telling.” Caroline Lucas on the government’s refusal to rule out new oil and gas on #BBCQT.

The UK needs a cap on political donations to ensure we serve people, not profit. The Green Party is holding Burnham to account - it's time he gets serious about undemocratic donations from the ultra rich.

The government’s action on illegal Israeli settlements is long overdue, but action must go much further. The UK must stop supplying arms to Israel, including F-35 components, and end its complicity in the genocide.

Molly is right - democracy itself is set to be crushed if Reform sneaks a majority. The case for a switch to a proportional system, where they simply cannot do this with a twenty-something vote share, BEFORE the next election grows by the day, and the PM cannot keep ruling this out.

There could be no clearer signal that Reform propose to be a fascist government The purpose of a state of emergency is to suspend constitutional requirements Politicians and journalists who are committed to democracy should understand and act accordingly www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

Other parties get their funding from their billionaire backers and big business. We do politics differently. If you believe politics should answer to the people, support the Green Party to help us build an alternative. 💚 donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk

Spoke with @lbc.co.uk earlier about Heathrow expansion and the concerns of the cross party Transport Committee about the impact on public transport and local roads of many more people trying to access an expanded airport. (Quite apart from my personal view that airport expansion is not ok).

London Assembly@londonassembly.bsky.social · last mo.

Following the #AssemblyTransport Chair's statement on the proposed Heathrow expansion, LBC news invited Caroline Russell AM on air to discuss. You can read the statement in full here: www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...

The hottest summer on record. The worst arable harvest on record. A climate crisis already hitting communities around the world. Andy Burnham must rule out more drilling at Jackdaw and Rosebank.

Guston, Kingsdown & St Margaret's-at-Cliffe (Dover) Council By-Election Result: 🌍 GRN: 28.8% (+2.7) ➡️ RFM: 27.5% (New) 🌳 CON: 17.1% (-16.0) 🌹 LAB: 14.6% (-9.2) ◼️ RES: 10.7% (New) 🙋 Ind: 1.3% (New) No LDM (-9.0) or HER (-7.9) as previous. Green GAIN from Conservative. Changes w/ 2023.

The climate crisis is already putting pressure on our food, water, and infrastructure. Real resilience means tackling the causes as well as preparing for the consequences.

This is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.

No one should face exclusion or discrimination because of who they are. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community and will keep fighting for equality that includes everyone.

BP's quarterly profits more than doubled to £4.2 billion in the three months to the end of June. These are the profits of war and climate chaos. It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.

Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness

Burnham promises ‘pragmatic’ approach to North Sea oil and gas

PM tells reporters the government cannot ignore the energy resource ‘when people are struggling’

theguardian.com

Council tax is unfair and deeply regressive. The Green Party would implement a fairer land value tax instead.

The new Defence Secretary Wes Streeting has acknowledged that Israel is committing war crimes and that Britain has a moral and legal responsibility to respond. Today, Ellie Chowns MP has written to him calling on the Government to match those words with action, by ending all arms sales to Israel.

Let's be absolutely clear: there is no amount of new drilling in the North Sea that Burnham could approve which would be consistent with our climate goals. If we are to avoid complete climate breakdown, we need to turn all effort to clean renewable energy - not doubling down on dirty fossil fuels.

Burnham to Back North Sea Oil and Take Control of Thames Water

Within days of taking office incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham is preparing to announce new drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea as well as taking public control of Thames Water.

Approving new oil and gas drilling would be environmentally disastrous and economically illiterate.

Ministers have one last chance, and a huge responsibility, to make sure the discriminatory draft EHRC Code is withdrawn, and write laws that protect the rights of trans people. So many MPs and leaders like @rachelmillward.bsky.social have stood up as allies to oppose it. #transrightsarehumanrights

Analysis this week revealed that by 2036 Labour's drug deal with Trump could cost an extra £44.7bn to the NHS and lead to over 220,000 excess deaths. From Palantir to big pharma, Greens are committed to protecting our public health system from predatory private interests.

Palantir came to Parliament today… A clear sign that our voices are being heard and the lobbyists are worried. Keep Palantir out of our public services 👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

The Green Party is clear on what real change looks like: • Proportional representation • Taxing billionaire wealth • No new oil and gas • Public ownership of water • Rent controls • Ending arms sales to Israel

Growth mentioned ten times. Climate mentioned zero times. A reminder that the green economy is worth £100bn a year, benefits every part of the UK, and green jobs are paid 11% above the average wage. Burnham must stamp out creeping climate skepticism and deliver for people and for nature.

A strong set of results in the local elections last night. Congratulations to our candidates, campaign teams and volunteers, and thank you to everyone who voted Green! 💚
