A strong Green Party voice is essential in politics – more so now than ever, in the face of the ever more urgent climate crisis. A big thank you to Zack and all the Green campaigners who helped significantly increase the Green vote share in Holborn and St Pancras💚

Shell’s refineries expected to make record profits. Profit margins of $42 a barrel, up from $24 a barrel. Cashing in on global conflicts. Bumper payouts for execs and shareholders. Misery for households and businesses. Millions plunged into poverty. Must levy 100% windfall tax.
