we on the left have won the arguments- privatisation, neoliberalism, deindustrialisation, markets, council homes, deregulation, state control and class. Now let's make it a reality, to give working class communities hope again!

Great to see homes being built in hackney- wonder how long they will be sat empty for… “premium homes” “luxury homes” most of us would be happy with decent, affordable homes. 1 bed with set you back over £500,000+ and service charges, council tax etc

✍️ Some words on my return to Parliament this week, including a huge thanks to all my constituents for their understanding and compassion while I've been working on my recovery from burnout. I've been blown away by your kindness 🫶 Looking forward to getting back into things. Onwards and upwards 💚
Zack Polanski and Carla Denyer huggingZack Polanski and Carla Denyer up Cabot Tower in Bristol, looking at the viewI want to say a huge thank you to all my constituents for their understanding and compassion while I have been working on my recovery from burnout. Thank you especially to those who sent me supportive messages during my time away, sharing your own stories of burnout and recovery, and words of advice. I have been blown away by your kindness. 🫶

I recognise that I have been enormously fortunate to have been able to take this time, and that many people faced with the same situation would not be so lucky. No one should be penalised for being too unwell to work, and no one should have to jeopardise recovery because of job insecurity. This is something I am determined to change.

As anyone who’s ever had serious health issues can tell you, recovery isn’t linear, but I am making good progress, so I will be heading back to Parliament this week on a phased return.I’m really looking forward to getting back into things and working alongside my amazing colleagues and inspiring constituents to make a positive impact together.
And so it was great timing that Zack visited Bristol again this weekend (appearing at Forwards Festival yesterday), and we were able to catch up over coffee this morning.

In a world where the UK government’s response to wildfires and droughts ravaging our communities is to temporarily ban disposable BBQs (whilst still considering expanding oil and gas production in the North Sea 🤯), the need for us Green politicians has never been clearer. There is much to do.

Onwards and upwards 💚

Carla Denyer

Our latest analysis looks at Britain's productivity revival. Forget the hype and gloom – Britain is experiencing a broad-based productivity recovery 👇 buff.ly/2CT8pyE
Simon Pittaway, Principal Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said:

“Britain’s dismal productivity record since the global financial crisis explains a lot of its economic stagnation and weak living standards growth. But while official figures suggest that the output of workers has worsened further in the mid-2020s, our more accurate productivity measure suggests that it has been improving in recent years.

“Some have suggested that recent productivity gains have been driven by an early AI boom, and workers leaving low-productivity sectors like retail and hospitality. But nether explanation is borne out by the data. Instead, the UK’s productivity recovery has been achieved by the same workers, doing the same jobs, and working in the same sectors.

“This productivity recovery is welcome, but it needs to be sustained and built upon if it’s lead to big improvements in living standards. That should be front of mind for the Chancellor John Healey as he prepares for his first Budget.”

Data does not suggest that low paid jobs are falling. Across occupations in the year to April 2025, jobs growth in below-median-pay roles was 2ppts stronger than above the median. In fact, shifting employment across occupations had very little effect on pay growth.

In the Green Party any member can propose a policy - it's part of our constitution & the rest of the membership decide to debate it or not. When the media present that as the Green Party "proposing" a policy they're misleading you - worth asking why the billionaire press constantly attack us.
