Ofwat appoints Grant Thornton to help improve South East Water performance l £6m wasted. Similar exercise at Thames Water yielded zilch. SEW has £1.7bn debt, can't raise new money, loses 100m litres of water a day to leaks, customers fleeced for decades. End the scam. Nationalise water.

Brighton & Hove Green Party @bhgreens.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

A statement from Brighton & Hove Green Party, our twelve Green councillors, and Siân Berry MP on ‘Zionism is Racism’ www.brightonhovegreens.org/2026/10/06/b...

As Brighton & Hove Green Party, we utterly reject antisemitism, and stand fully for the dignity and belonging of Jewish residents and communities across our city. We stand against war crimes, genocide and forced displacement committed by the Israeli state - atrocities recognised as breaches of international law.

These statements are not in conflict. Our beliefs will never change: that both causes are vital to us as a party committed to fighting racism in all forms.

We recognise the wide range of views amongst residents on the ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion. This includes members of our own party. This includes members of our Jewish community who may feel hurt, concerned, or uncertain. And this includes those who are supportive of the motion.

We are committed to representing all residents of Brighton & Hove, regardless of their background or their views on these or any other issues. To our Jewish members, colleagues, and neighbours: you belong here, your contributions are valued, and your voices matter.

Brighton & Hove Greens are absolutely clear: our commitment to Palestinian liberation goes hand in hand with defending Jewish people’s safety, dignity and belonging in our movement and in our city. We reject antisemitism, and always will. We reject any attempts to interrogate people’s politics purely because of their synagogue, family, or identity. And we also reject the conflation of anti-zionism with antisemitism.

Above all, we are united in our values: to listen and to act with compassion and respect. To oppose discrimination and stand with all marginalised communities. And to fight for a better future for people and planet.

To Jewish members of the Green Party: Assurances, from the motion proposers, that they had no intention for Jewish members to feel targeted for their beliefs or associations have been clear. And if anyone else does try to use it in this way, I will be there for you with my solidarity and support.

Statement reads: As Greens, we will always uphold universal human rights.

We will never tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.

We will continue to stand in opposition to genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the illegal occupation.

We will continue to call out the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government.

And we will continue to work to ensure that the Green Party is an anti-racist party in every way.

We know there is no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people.

The ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion has passed at Green Party conference. While there are many parts of the motion I can agree with, there are some that I could not, so I did not vote for it. Here is a joint statement from the Green Party leadership team and all of us Green MPs:

🌍⚡ Imagine an energy system where communities generate their own clean power, keep benefits local, and have a say in how energy is produced and used. That's the power of community energy. Community energy orgs help lower emissions and support local economies, building a fairer future for everyone.
