"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."

In many ways, Burnham's speech can be read as a reaction to the strength of the Greens. Best way to push Labour to do better on climate & stop Burnham backsliding on electoral reform & Europe? More Greens in Parliament, starting with @zackpolanski.bsky.social next week!

I hope this person is doing OK. Getting arrested is quite something when you are expecting it, goodness only knows how it must be if you aren't. Second, massive kudos to the person behind the camera with their support. Finally, saddening to know that Liverpool polis are no better than the Met.

Andy Burnham's Labour Party showed it is not serious about climate breakdown, even after 5 heat waves this summer and nearly 3,000 people dead. Even after he visited Stourbridge and saw first hand the destruction the climate emergency is wreaking.

Andy Burnham spoke for an hour today at the Labour Party conference and only mentioned the climate once. He did not rule out more drilling in the North Sea. He did not rule out more runways. He did not talk about insulation or retrofitting.

Sadly there was a climate & nature shaped hole at the heart of Burnham’s speech. Nothing on the benefits of nature restoration & same old words on a “pragmatic” approach to N Sea drilling. There’s nothing pragmatic about pouring fuel on a scorching earth - he should rule out Rosebank & Jackdaw now

WHERE DOES LABOUR STAND ON THE CLIMATE CRISIS?

ADRIAN RAMSAY
MP FOR WAVENEY VALLEY

"Miliband asked where each and every party stands on tackling the climate crisis.
The Green Party is unequivocal: it means no new drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea. It means no green light for a third runway at Heathrow. It means massive investment in our homes, green energy sources and transport in ways that both tackle the climate crisis and cut people’s bills.

So we ask Labour: where do you stand on these issues?"

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.
