Water companies failing their basic duties? The Green Party has a simple solution. Special administration. Public ownership. ZERO compensation for shareholders.

I am pleased with this evolution of our energy policy. Renewables remain our top priority. This isn’t about fast-tracking new nuclear, but about recognising that in a climate emergency we should be using all the existing infrastructure we have to move off fossil fuels.

The super rich have too much power over our lives and our political system – that's why the Greens stand for taxing wealth and capping political donations. Clearly, the by-election is about people vs money. They have the millionaires – we need to fight back and show up for @zackpolanski.bsky.social!

Why should the public pay the cost of private failure? It's time to end the rip off and bring failing water companies back into public hands.

"The Green Party would immediately bring South East Water and Thames Water back into public ownership. At no cost to the taxpayer."

Labour sent a leaflet with an AI generated picture of the Minet Library & a bunch of false claims on the back. Campaigning is one thing – this is open contempt for residents. Labour were in the meeting where Greens cancelled the cuts Labour planned for our libraries. They know this leaflet is false.

Green MPs, Peers and Leaders have written to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero to demand that the Government doesn't approve the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea. Approving new drilling at Jackdaw will not take a penny off energy costs, and will fuel the climate emergency.

Banning trade with illegal settlements is a crucial and overdue step to uphold intl law and safeguard the human rights of Palestinians. Greens have long fought for this measure and strongly welcome it - we will keep pushing for urgent implementation and further action on the genocide in Gaza.
