Water company profits are soaring as raw sewage is being pumped into our waters. The government must bring all water companies back into public ownership: end the unlawful dumping of sewage, and ensure profits are being reinvested back into fixing leaks and building new infrastructure.

Quote graphic from Zack Polanski that reads: 

"There are millions of reasons why Nigel Farage is happy to take money from billionaires, climate science deniers and secret foreign backers, and not one of them is because he has any interest in improving people's lives. 

The Green Party is different. 

We are not in hock to big business or hedge funds, we are a people-powered movement that wants to take on the super-rich and end rip-off Britain.

This summer Britain burnt. 3000 people died from the heat. Yet this Government is drilling for more gas, despite scientist warnings & it won't make a difference to bills in the UK. We need to double down on renewables, not bend to the wishes of fossil fuel bosses. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

54% of electricity (now in UK) from renewables, we should be shouting the good news about net zero. Far more to do but electricity here is so much cleaner than a decade ago.

We live in Rip Off Britain. We need wealth taxes. Rent controls. And real action on the climate crisis - that brings bills down. This is how we make hope normal again.
The Greens also claim Burnham’s message of hope has been taken from their playbook, with Polanski quipping that “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”

But he warned: “People aren’t just going to get hopeful. They’re going to get hopeful when their bills come down, when their wages go up, when the cost of living reduces.”

Climate breakdown is here. We must double down on efforts to decarbonise but that's not enough. We need new rights at work to protect us from climate danger - failing to act now will endanger workers' lives and cost our health service dearly.
