Anyone voting Labour in London at this point rather baffles me. The Labour goverment is openly at odds with much of what London stands for: closer ties with Europe, openness to immigration, a proudly multicultural Britain and serious action on climate change. 1/2

The Green Party of England & Wales @greenparty.org.uk · 12/08/2026
Last week Zack demanded that the UK government hold an emergency COBR meeting in response to the climate emergency. The Prime Minister Andy Burnham has finally listened to this call; the PM must set out his plans for how will keep this country safe today and how he will prepare for threats to come.
A quote graphic from Zack Polanski leader of the Green Party saying: "When the country is burning and people are dying, the PM had to call this meeting. But this is only a first step.  What we urgently need is concrete action. That must include taxing fossil fuel giants to pay for firefighting helicopters, a cool space in every community, and a maximum working temperature. The prime minister must also commit to no new oil and gas extraction in the North Sea. We cannot negotiate with the science."

⬇️ Reform before getting elected: "We'll cut your taxes!" ⬆️ Reform now they run the Council: "We'll put your taxes up!" ➡️ Reform cannot be trusted.
A graphic from Bradford District Green Party with a green-tinted background featuring Bradford City Hall. At the top is the Green Party logo and the headline: "REFORM BEFORE GETTING ELECTED." On the left is a Reform UK campaign leaflet with the promises: "Freeze immigration and stop the boats," "Scrap Net Zero to cut energy bills," and "Reduce waste and cut your taxes." The final promise, "cut your taxes," is underlined in red, with a turquoise arrow pointing towards the right.

On the right is a screenshot from the Telegraph & Argus with the headline: "New Reform UK leader rules out Bradford Council tax freeze." The words "tax freeze" are underlined in red, with a matching turquoise arrow pointing back towards the leaflet, highlighting the contrast.

At the bottom, over a photograph of councillors in the Bradford Council chamber, is the headline: "REFORM AFTER GETTING ELECTED." Small print at the bottom states it was promoted by Darren Parkinson on behalf of Bradford District Green Party.
