We cannot speak about global security and international cooperation without mentioning the climate crisis. If we want to safeguard our children and build a prosperous future for all, the govt must keep dirty fossil fuels in the ground.

Labour seems poised to repeat the mistakes of the last energy price crisis if they cut funding that would help families choose fossil-free heating. We cannot afford to plunge the sector into uncertainty and risk stalling growth in heat pump installations when we need it most.
Picture shows a graphic of Carla Denyer and a speech bubble that reads: 

“Labour seems poised to repeat the mistakes of the last energy price crisis if they cut the funding that would help families choose fossil free heating for their homes. 

We cannot afford to plunge the sector into uncertainty and risk stalling the growth in heat pump installations just when we need them most to meet our legally binding climate commitments.

Instead, Greens call for a local authority-led, street-by-street retrofit programme to insulate our homes and upgrade to cleaner heating that doesn't leave families exposed to volatile gas prices.”

Congratulations to Sagal. I wish her the very best in representing this amazing place. I'm proud of the campaign we fought. To go from 10% to 33% of the vote share during the PM's 'bounce' is good - but our ambitions are far higher.

"Only the Green Party has the policies to address inequality, through taxes on wealth; tackle the cost of living crisis with rent controls and raising the minimum wage; and fight climate breakdown through a nationwide home insulation programme and turbocharging renewables" - @carladenyer.bsky.social
Conservatives: for billionaires, inequality, and environmental damage

Carla Denyer
MP for Bristol Central

“Today Kemi Badenoch once again defined the Conservative Party as pro-billionaires, pro-inequality and pro-damaging the environment.”
 
“However much money you throw at it, you cannot have national security without action on the climate crisis. You cannot make this country fairer while you continue to favour the super-wealthy over ordinary working people, and you will not help young people into work by removing worker protections and support.”
 
“Cutting inheritance tax, cutting welfare and reigniting a new round of austerity reminds us that this is a party working for the wealthy few, not the majority.”

I am pleased with this evolution of our energy policy. Renewables remain our top priority. This isn’t about fast-tracking new nuclear, but about recognising that in a climate emergency we should be using all the existing infrastructure we have to move off fossil fuels.

The ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion has passed at Green Party conference. While there are many parts of the motion I can agree with, there are some that I could not, so I did not vote for it. Here is a joint statement from the Green Party leadership team and all of us Green MPs:
Joint statement: 

As Greens, we will always uphold universal human rights.
We will never tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.
We will continue to stand in opposition to genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the illegal occupation.
We will continue to call out the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government.
And we will continue to work to ensure that the Green Party is an anti-racist party in every way. 
We know there is no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people.

Even if govt meets its 1.5mil homes target, analysis from the Office for Budget Responsibility estimates that under current government policy, increasing rents will cancel out all average wage growth until at least the end of the decade — meaning no improvement in affordability.

I wrote to Miatta Fahnbulleh to urge her to publish a Fossil Fuel Transition Roadmap ahead of COP31 in November. Ending all new licenses & publishing a clear roadmap will show that the UK is not just calling for a global transition, but delivering one.
The post is a graphic. At the top, white text on a light green background says:

"The Government must publish a fossil fuel transition roadmap before COP31" 

The rest of the image shows the top of a letter to Miatta Fahnbulleh.

"The Rt Hon Miatta Fahnbulleh MP
Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero
Cc: The Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP, Katie White MP

Dear Secretary of State,

RE: Securing a fossil fuel transition roadmap for the UK

I am writing on behalf of the Green Party of England and Wales to urge your department to move swiftly to publish a comprehensive fossil fuel transition roadmap for the UK ahead of COP31 in November." The post is a text box on a dark green background. In the box is a parliamentary paper-style letter extract that reads: 

"The impacts of the climate and nature emergency are escalating at a terrifyingly dangerous rate, as global temperatures continue to climb rapidly.

At the same time, the poorest peoples of the world, with the least historic responsibility for climate emissions, continue to bear the brunt of climate breakdown.

As you will be aware, nearly a year ago, at COP30 in Belém, the UK endorsed a fossil fuels transition roadmap. More recently, at the Santa Marta TAFF conference in April, the UK reiterated its support for such a roadmap. Since then, France, Germany and the Netherlands have all published plans.

In this context, it is unacceptable that the government is still yet to publish a comprehensive domestic roadmap"The post is a text box on a dark green background. In the box is a parliamentary paper-style letter extract that reads: 

"The UK cannot claim global leadership at COP31 while expanding fossil fuels at home.

Ending all new licenses – including Jackdaw and Rosebank - and publishing a clear
roadmap will demonstrate that the UK is not merely calling for global transition, but
actively delivering the domestic plan required to deliver one.

Can your department confirm that such a roadmap will be published before COP31?
And will you meet with me to discuss how we can work together to advance this
strategy?

Yours sincerely,
Carla Denyer MP
Green Party Spokesperson for Energy and Net Zero"

"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.
HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.
 
Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.
 
It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."

There's no place in a climate emergency for expanding one of the UK’s biggest polluters. A third runway at Heathrow would benefit a tiny minority (wealthy frequent flyers) at huge cost to the environment and local community. The Government can and must put a stop to this now.
