Time and time again when I'm knocking on doors people tell me they've still got their kids living at home with them. The extreme cost of housing is putting lives on hold across this country. We need an emergency brake on rents. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This El Niño is a warning. As the planet warms, the risks to communities, economies, and supply chains across the globe become harder to ignore. The answer isn’t more fossil fuels - it’s clean energy, warmer homes, and restored nature.

Putting climate firmly back at the centre of the UK’s political conversation. Zack Polanski tops the Politics & Government section of The Independent’s Climate 100 list.

ZACK POLANSKI NAMED THE UK’S TOP POLITICAL CLIMATE LEADER

The Independent write-up in full:

“Since becoming leader of the Green Party in 2025, Zack Polanski has made the links between climate change, inequality and the cost of living central to his politics, arguing that environmental action must also make people’s lives better.

This summer, as the UK faced its hottest summer ever and wildfires swept across the UK and the rest of the globe, he called for oil and gas companies to pay higher taxes to fund climate adaptation. That is alongside investment in cooling homes and public spaces and bringing water companies into public ownership.

More recently, he's taken aim at the rapid expansion of AI data centres, calling for a halt to new developments because of their huge demands for electricity and water at a time of increasing climate pressure. The Greens have proposed a moratorium on all but small, community-focused centres.

Polanski describes his approach as ‘eco-populist’, seeking to connect environmental concerns with frustrations over housing, bills and wealth inequality. His rise has helped propel the Greens into their strongest electoral position yet – and put climate politics firmly back at the centre of Britain’s political conversation.”

Green MPs, Peers and Leaders have written to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero to demand that the Government doesn't approve the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea. Approving new drilling at Jackdaw will not take a penny off energy costs, and will fuel the climate emergency.

Is it "pragmatic" to approve new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea that could cost between £119 billion to £336 billion in climate damage? Sounds more like climate and economic vandalism.

Small businesses are feeling the squeeze whilst large banks are raking in obscene profits. It's time for windfall tax on big bank profits to end rip-off Britain.

The UK's biggest banks are regularly making record-breaking profits. Not because they are improving their services of products... but simply because of high interest rates set by the Bank of England. High interest rates = big bank profits.

Who covers this shortfall? The Treasury - aka, the taxpayer. And this is on top of higher interest rates we're paying on our loans and mortgages. While people and small businesses struggle, the big banks' profits soar.” as body text
