Privatisation of water has been an absolutely unmitigated disaster. The Green Party would put water back into public hands and reverse years of radical underinvestment.

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

PRIVATISED WATER HAS FAILED. WE NEED PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW.

ADRIAN RAMSAY
MP FOR WAVENEY VALLEY

"The Prime Minister is right that water must be run for public good and not profit and that the public is very clear that water should be taken back into public control and end the scandal of sewage in our rivers and seas. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister’s words in his speech today gave no commitment to this, just that at some point in the future there will be more regulation. This isn’t good enough.

Privatised water has failed and must be taken into public ownership now so we can start to fix the crumbling infrastructure."

Donald Trump wants more drilling in the North Sea for oil and gas. The government must not bow to his demands.

Quote graphic from Green Party Deputy Leader Rachel Millward, with an offshore oil platform in the background. Headline reads: “DON’T BOW TO TRUMP ON NORTH SEA OIL.” Full quote:

“This meeting is a true test for Andy Burnham’s ability to stand up to Trump and whether he can stand up for our children’s right to inherit a safe, habitable planet. If he chooses to side with Donald Trump and back Big Oil, he isn't facing up to the seriousness of our climate crisis.

“The prime minister should show President Trump that the UK will not bow to pressure for new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. He needs to make clear that a safe, secure and prosperous future for the global environment and economy can only be achieved through an urgent move to clean energy.”

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.”
