"Miliband was right to highlight the threat that climate breakdown poses to our national security – though the full extent of these threats, highlighted by UK intelligence agencies in a report last year, have never been fully released." Adrian Ramsay asks: where does Labour stand on climate?
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?"

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.”

GREENS vs REFORM UK Two very different visions for Britain. We want properly funded public services, taxing wealth fairly, tackling the climate emergency, protecting nature, defending human rights, and treating people seeking safety with compassion.

The proposed data centre would cover 145 acres (59 hectares) of land. That’s roughly the size of 90 football pitches. Residents are concerned about losing agricultural land and open countryside to a huge industrial development.

"From bus and train drivers sweltering in their cabins to bakers working in over 40 degrees, and builders whose workplaces offer no respite from the heat – the government has a duty to protect all of us." Today in Parliament Hannah Spencer is tabling a maximum workplace temperature bill.

MP for Gorton and Denton

"We have long had guidance on
minimum workplace temperatures;
it's absurd that we don't have any for
maximum temperatures.

Today I'm tabling a bill in Parliament to
change that."

It's clear Starmer lost the trust of his party and country and needed to resign. The question now is if Labour has learned from his failures. Will they make the changes Britain truly needs? It's time for real action on wealth inequality, climate breakdown, cost of living, and fair votes.

It's obvious to point out attacks against Muslims get ignored - but still needs repeatedly calling out. An Antisemitic attack should be reported and action taken. But where is the same media outrage, cobra meetings and calling of national emergency when 5 Muslims are attacked?

Green MPs' response to the violent unrest in Belfast.
Green Party Logo. 
This morning we have seen the horrific reports from Belfast of people driven from their homes based on nothing but the colour of their skin, with some politicians, including some in the House of Commons, using a truly horrendous individual incident to blame a whole community.

Bold text: As Green MPs we condemn this scapegoating as racist, wrong and at odds with British values. 

Headshots of the Green MPs appear alongside a list of their names:
Sian Berry MP, Ellie Chowns MP, Carla Denyer MP, Adrian Ramsay MP, Hannah Spencer MP.
