The Green Party is clear on what real change looks like: • Proportional representation • Taxing billionaire wealth • No new oil and gas • Public ownership of water • Rent controls • Ending arms sales to Israel
Open letter dated 29 June 2026 from Green Party MPs, addressed to Andy Burnham MP, urging urgent reforms on electoral system, taxation and climate; includes a parliamentary emblem and bulleted policy demands.

Labour exists to protect the status quo. They want clear signals that Burnham won't bring in wealth taxes, water nationalisation or stop the UK arming Israel. We need to keep building our movement and provide hope with a plan for a different politics. Join.greenparty.org.uk
Multiple sources believe Burnham appointing his old flatmate is a positive sign which will inevitably raise hackles on the left.

The Labour government object to us talking about Gaza. Genocide is serious and they should hang their heads in shame for arming it, not complaining to journalists. Not surprised they're distracting from their other failures - like addressing the cost of energy bills and rent.
The state of it has revealed that cabinet ministers privately believe the greens are hammering us by deliberately raising the salience of Gaza in the constituency.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years. That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”. Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives. This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

You’d never hear calls to ‘vote tactically’ or to ‘keep someone out’ again. But they refuse to change, so we *must* vote for parties that will introduce PR. A vote for a party that supports FPTP is a vote for future Reform government (2/2)
