Calling out authoritarian behaviour is not something new for the Green Party. We have always defended human rights — from Tibet to Hong Kong to the US. We will continue to stand up for the rule of law, at home and across the world. #GreenValues #HumanRights

This is such a daft and revealing line of questioning. I don't think we elect Greens because they don't fly; surely we elect them because they'd deliver the alternatives to flying for all of us? I think the Greens are the only English party to support the delivery of HS2 in full, for example.

One of the funniest things about the 'Abolish Landlords' policy passing is trying to work out which critics (across the right, centre, and obstructivist-left) genuinely think two words is all a major housing policy consists of, and which are just arguing against it in this way disingenuously.

🥳 I'm so so delighted that my motion for completely building East West Rail and fully electrifying it passed overwhelmingly at conference. 🙏 Huge huge thanks to @greenchloem.bsky.social , Ed Fraser and @benwheels.bsky.social for speaking in favour. #TrainsNotPlanes #RailNotRoad #GPConf
E01: Electrify the East West Railway line as soon as possible

Synopsis
East West Rail will fill an important gap in the rail network and help reduce car and lorry use in the region. It will largely replace the Varsity rail line, much of which closed in the 1960s. However, it should be electrified as soon as possible to replace diesel trains.

Motion Text
insert into Record of Policy Statements “The Green Party supports the building of East West Rail in full from Cambridge to Milton Keynes to Oxford, and calls for the project to be fully electrified as quickly as possible. The railway should be accessible for everyone and be well connected to active transport routes. The route should minimise disruption to local communities as far as possible and bring benefits locally as well as regionally and nationally. The route should minimise negative impacts on housing, public green spaces, nature and wildlife and carry out appropriate mitigation works with sensitivity and generous compensation.”Me standing at a lectern with a "Bold Politics" slogan and a Green party logo.
There's a green wall in the background.
