MPs fear one key issue could end new PM's honeymoon period

The "Burnham bounce" has largely been driven by Green voters coming back to the fold. Labour MPs warn that spells trouble if more oil and gas is approved following a summer of extreme weather.

Zack Polanski is right. Britain doesn't need another leader who manages the status quo—it needs one willing to tackle rip-off Britain, tax extreme wealth fairly, and stop putting vested interests ahead of ordinary people.

Looks like a wealth tax is an ace with the Great British public - as Brighty Buoy found out at Wimbledon. Do you support a 2% tax on wealth over £10m?

We are concerned at the proposals to close the much loved High Borrans Outdoor Education Centre. In a growing climate and nature crisis, all children need an understanding and connection to the outdoors and to our National Parks. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We’re calling for a wealth tax that would only apply to people who have above £10 million in net assets. That means around 99.6% of people wouldn’t pay a penny more. So louder for those at the back. A wealth tax targets the super-rich who've been able to opt-out for too long.

The next Local Plan for Westmorland and Furness is open for consultation. Local Plans set the strategy for future developments, where they will be and how they'll be built, as well as green space protection. Give your views below: www.westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk/localplan

The super-rich aren't getting wealthier because they're working harder. They're getting richer because they get their income from the assets they own. Worse yet, they pay a lower rate of tax on that income than who get their incomes from going out to work for a living.

Today we've launched our new Homes for Greater Manchester plan. Green Mayoral candidate Geraldine Coggins pledges to deliver 20,000 genuinely affordable homes within 10 years, end Labour's developer rip off, and put the people before profit. Vote Green for affordable housing 🏠️

Our polluted waters, including Windermere, are still at the mercy of private water companies who state they need to benefit shareholders. The Green Party calls for nationalised water - to benefit people and our environment only.

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Absolute chancers. Nationalise water. Now. And keep it in public hands forever.

Good news for Windermere, our Cumbria communities and our visitors as "United Utilities has said for the first time that it will ensure that only rainwater enters the lake". But the cost will likely come from bill payers, not from United Utilities shareholders. www.europesays.com/uk/1026598/
