"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.”
