The government needs to make clear where it stands: on the side of international law and climate science, or the side of big fossil fuel companies, wrecking our planet, and aiding atrocities in Palestine.

Letter from Zack Polanski to Ed Miliband, first page reading in full:

"Dear Ed,

Ithaca Energy's interests in UK and oil and gas production

Earlier this month you announced a commitment to introducing a sanctions regime for companies trading with illegal settlements – a critical and overdue step, and one which the Green Party strongly welcomes and has long campaigned for.

It is however an overdue first step that must be strengthened and followed by wider action to end British complicity in the Israeli government’s illegal occupation and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

In respect of your proposed sanctions package, we would welcome clarity on your position on Ithaca Energy, the Aberdeen-based company that is a subsidiary of Israeli firm Delek Group which is blacklisted by the UN for operating in the illegal Israeli settlements in the Palestinian West Bank.

Since 2000, Ithaca has already paid over $1bn in dividends from its UK oil and gas interests to the Delek Group. This amount would soar if the government gives the green light to new drilling projects in which Ithaca Energy has a stake – Rosebank (20%), Cambo (100%) and Tornado (50%). Revenues to Delek from Rosebank alone are expected to amount to £235 million.

The government has been on notice since January 2026 that greenlighting these projects would put it in breach of Articles 49 and 53 of the Geneva Conventions. Therefore, a sanctions regime fit for purpose would see the government ruling out these projects and reviewing existing licences to make sure they have not been issued in contravention of our obligations under the Geneva Conventions."

Second page reads:

"With the significant public interest and the apparent proximity of the decision on Rosebank, I am seeking your urgent answer to the following: What steps will you be taking to ensure revenues from UK oil and gas production are not financing support for illegal settlements?

The UN has blacklisted Delek Group for “the provision of services and utilities supporting the maintenance and existence of settlements, including transport” and “the use of natural resources, in particular water and land, for business purposes.”

This would seem to fall squarely under the remit of your proposed sanctions regime as you outlined in your oral statement to the House of Commons: “To those who finance or facilitate illegal settlements, let me say this: you will face the full force of UK sanctions.”

For the FCDO to sanction companies involved in illegal settlements while DESNZ approves North Sea operations by subsidiaries of those companies would not only be counterproductive and hypocritical, but a flagrant failure of our moral and legal duties. It would stand in direct contradiction to the vision of Britain you laid out to the House earlier this month – “a Britain that upholds its values at home and around the world.”

I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Zack Polanski
Leader, Green Party England & Wales"

A £276 increase in bills in January would be the final straw for millions across the country. The Prime Minister must turn words into actions and stop bills going up on his watch.

Green graphic image with Hannah Spencer's photo quoting her: 'The Prime Minister must commit to stopping bills rising'. Full quote reads:

“Andy Burnham keeps talking about giving families breathing space. But actions speak louder than words and bills are still going up on his watch when people can’t afford it.

A £276 increase in January would be the final straw for many people in the constituency I represent and for millions across the country.

The Prime Minister must commit now to stopping bills going up in January, starting with moving more costs off energy bills, properly funding a national home insulation scheme, clamping down on rampant profiteering by energy companies, and rapidly scaling up cheaper, cleaner energy.”

"Privatised water has failed and must be taken into public ownership now."

PRIVATISED WATER HAS FAILED. WE NEED PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW.

ADRIAN RAMSAY
MP FOR WAVENEY VALLEY

"The Prime Minister is right that water must be run for public good and not profit and that the public is very clear that water should be taken back into public control and end the scandal of sewage in our rivers and seas. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister’s words in his speech today gave no commitment to this, just that at some point in the future there will be more regulation. This isn’t good enough.

Privatised water has failed and must be taken into public ownership now so we can start to fix the crumbling infrastructure."

A fairer voting system can't wait until after the next general election. We need electoral reform now.

WE NEED FAIR VOTING BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION

ELLIE CHOWNS
MP FOR NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE

"The PM cannot acknowledge the unfairness of a system capable of handing power to a government with a minority of the vote share, and then say the answer is to let that happen exactly once more before he fixes it.

Burnham must act with urgency to immediately jumpstart the National Commission, guarantee timely progress, and ensure its recommendations are delivered in time for a fairer voting system to be in place at the next general election."

"It is clear that Labour needs the Greens to keep them in check everyday to push them towards the real transformation this country needs." @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the Prime Minister's speech at Labour conference.

HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.

Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.

It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."

WHERE DOES LABOUR STAND ON THE CLIMATE CRISIS?

ADRIAN RAMSAY
MP FOR WAVENEY VALLEY

"Miliband asked where each and every party stands on tackling the climate crisis.
The Green Party is unequivocal: it means no new drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea. It means no green light for a third runway at Heathrow. It means massive investment in our homes, green energy sources and transport in ways that both tackle the climate crisis and cut people’s bills.

So we ask Labour: where do you stand on these issues?"

Today’s speech from the Chancellor shows Labour offering more of the same. We need real action to tackle extreme wealth inequality in this country and make the super-rich pay their fair share.

Headline reads: “It’s time to tackle extreme wealth inequality.”
Quote from Ellie Chowns, MP for North Herefordshire:
“The Chancellor used his speech today to repeatedly stress a message of new leadership offering new hope, yet when it came to the substance behind the rhetoric, Britain was once again left with more of the same.
“He made no mention of the extraordinary wealth inequality holding our country back, nor did he state any ambitions for fair taxation of wealth.
“A government serious about fixing our economy cannot afford to look the other way while the uber-rich accumulate ever-more wealth and dodge paying their fair share.”

Unaffordable rents. Spiralling bills. Not enough council homes. People need bold change on housing, not more of the same.

Headline reads: “It’s time to get housing costs under control.”
Quote from Zack Polanski, Leader of the Green Party:
“The Prime Minister promises he won’t ‘back away from difficult issues’ at the Labour Party Conference, but he has little to offer people who are struggling with unaffordable housing and spiralling bills.
“While Labour pats itself on the back in Liverpool, I’ve been knocking on hundreds of doors in Holborn and St Pancras. People want to see bold change, not more of the same - and that’s why we’re calling for rent controls and 150,000 new social and council homes every year.”

Healthcare should be there when you need it. No exceptions. Trans people deserve the same dignity, respect and access to care as everyone else.

Quote graphic. Headline reads: “When trust in healthcare is broken.”

Quote from Anthony Slaughter, Leader of the Wales Green Party:

“People had surgeries cancelled at the 11th hour, with no explanation or option to reschedule. These are people who had spent years preparing, both physically and mentally, for this life-affirming surgery.

In my own way, I was able to relate to that agonising wait. In the days leading up to planned surgery over recess, I underwent scheduled and serious surgery. You trust the system around you. For some, that trust has been broken.

What is important is that the voices and experiences of the trans community are amplified and understood. Gender-affirming healthcare saves lives. What this community needs now more than ever is decisive action, proof that their government will stand up for them and take the lead.”

Putting climate firmly back at the centre of the UK’s political conversation. Zack Polanski tops the Politics & Government section of The Independent’s Climate 100 list.

ZACK POLANSKI NAMED THE UK’S TOP POLITICAL CLIMATE LEADER

The Independent write-up in full:

“Since becoming leader of the Green Party in 2025, Zack Polanski has made the links between climate change, inequality and the cost of living central to his politics, arguing that environmental action must also make people’s lives better.

This summer, as the UK faced its hottest summer ever and wildfires swept across the UK and the rest of the globe, he called for oil and gas companies to pay higher taxes to fund climate adaptation. That is alongside investment in cooling homes and public spaces and bringing water companies into public ownership.

More recently, he's taken aim at the rapid expansion of AI data centres, calling for a halt to new developments because of their huge demands for electricity and water at a time of increasing climate pressure. The Greens have proposed a moratorium on all but small, community-focused centres.

Polanski describes his approach as ‘eco-populist’, seeking to connect environmental concerns with frustrations over housing, bills and wealth inequality. His rise has helped propel the Greens into their strongest electoral position yet – and put climate politics firmly back at the centre of Britain’s political conversation.”
