#ThamesWater How many reports and emails are needed before a major leak is fixed? Will they repair the damage caused? This is a story repeated across London and is far too frequent. Is Thames Water holding our streets hostage against the threat of nationalisation or is it just negligence?

Given our consistent engagement on the adult social care crisis and willingness to work together to solve it, it's deeply disappointing that the Greens weren't invited to today's cross-party talks. We need all hands on deck to tackle this issue - the Greens remain ready to work cross-party to do so.
Dear Andy, 
29 July 2026 
I welcome your commitment to addressing the challenge of fixing social care, an issue which has 
for too long been neglected and treated as a political football. There are no shortage of reports and 
proposals on how to change things; what has been missing for far too long is the political will to 
do so. I am therefore glad to see that you have committed to spending political capital on securing 
positive change. 
I also agree that cross-party working is essential to best face this challenge. Indeed, I have 
repeatedly called in Parliament for cross-party talks, and I have represented the Green Party at the 
(so far, only two) cross-party meetings convened as part of the Casey Commission’s work, in 
September 2025 and May 2026. I expressed my strong desire for more frequent and in-depth 
cross-party discussions at that most recent meeting, as well as consistently calling on the 
government to show greater political leadership on this issue. 
It was therefore disappointing to learn yesterday that only two political parties had been invited to 
meet with you today, at very short notice, to discuss social care. I am puzzled as to why you did 
not extend an invitation to the Green Party, given our long track record of positive engagement in 
this area and our frequent expressions of interest in, and support for, cross-party work on social 
care. Failing to extend an invitation to your first cross-party meeting on the topic is, frankly, not 
consistent with your stated commitment to working cooperatively across party lines. 
I remain very keen to work constructively with you and other cross-party colleagues to find 
solutions to the crisis in social care, so that we can meet the needs and uphold the interests of 
people who draw on care, their families and other unpaid carers, and all those who work in the 
care sector. 
I look forward to hearing from you.

Nominations are now open for the next leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister. As the UK swelters under it's third heatwave of the year, we've joined Greenpeace UK and 11 other organisations to call on the next PM to prioritise action for climate and nature: ow.ly/4jju50ZmlIa

Open letter to the UK's next Prime Minister - Greenpeace UK
Decisions made today will determine whether the UK secures a cleaner, safer and more prosperous future. At the same time as households face rising living costs, climate change and nature loss are also threatening our economic stability, food security and public health. Addressing these challenges requires ambitious leadership to unlock the opportunities of net zero and restore nature for communities across the UK. Yet climate and nature policy is too often treated as separate […]

Green Party London Assembly Member Caroline Russell told the report launch that City Hall and TfL could still be doing more to tackle the "elephant in the room" - traffic congestion. "The urgency to reduce the number of cars in London couldn't be clearer". www.mylondon.news/news/transpo...

My first planning committee meeting last night. An emotional one for all concerned! Sadly we are governed by the planning regulations and our decisions have to be made on the specific details being presented. It’s frustrating - particularly when you complete agree with what a resident is saying

Reform, Labour and the Tories all take money from oil & gas giants and private healthcare interests. That tells you who they’re really working for. The Green Party doesn’t take that money. We answer to you - and to the future of our planet. Vote Green on Thursday. 💚

Somehow our streets have become taken over by vehicles. We’ve allowed the needs of motor traffic to dictate the experience of everyone getting around or hanging around on our streets. 🚗 💨 🚚💨 🚦 And children have lost out more than any of us. We can do so much better. 🤸🏽 🤸‍♀️ 🛝🌷 🌳
