Oh, ok - may I ask why? And which other party you are thinking of supporting?

Green Party policy absolutely is to nationalise all water companies. The difference is that being bankrupt, these two can be done immediately, while the others will require legislation first.

Why I can’t take seriously the media’s crowing over Burnham’s supposed victory over the Greens. In reality, Burnham is in basically the same position as Starmer was at this point in 2024, and we all know how that turned out. Let’s see where we are in 12-18 months.

Here's something the media is hardly talking about. This Government is set to oversee the steepest fall in living standards in modern times - unless they change course fast. In less than two weeks Labour faces a stark choice - will they tax wealth and back the majority?

Under current projections this is set to be the worst parliament on record for living standards growth - and a bar chart demonstrating it

In other words, a 10 percent contraction in one of Britain’s most successful exports. If it were steel or fish or other infinitely less profitable sectors, people would be having a meltdown.

At times like this, the mask really comes off the British media. There is no pretence - at all - about their impartiality or objectivity towards the Green Party. It is a blatant naked partisan cross-media assault against the Greens.

Why should the public pay the cost of private failure? It's time to end the rip off and bring failing water companies back into public hands.

"The Green Party would immediately bring South East Water and Thames Water back into public ownership. At no cost to the taxpayer."

Anyone claiming that the Green Party policy has become more radical since Polanski took over as leader is just revealing how little they know of the history of Green Party policy. Want proof? Read *any* General Election manifesto since at least 2015. ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/wmatrix/ukma...

There are many ways in which every billionaire is a policy failure, but the most corrosive and destructive way in which billionaires are policy failures is this: billionaires, despite being unelected and unaccountable, possess the power to control - and ruin - millions of peoples' lives.

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.

A vertical graphic on a white background displays an October 9, 2026, joint statement from the foreign ministers of Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The full statement, presented in black serif text, reaffirms unwavering support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), strongly opposes U.S. sanctions against the Court, warns of their impact on its work, staff, and families, and pledges continued support for international justice, accountability, and the rules-based international system.
