1) An emergency brake on rents - rising by the LOWEST of CPI inflation, wage growth, or 2%. 2) A commitment to protecting social security - not pitting people on benefits against spending on weapons. 3) Energy in public hands and a energy revolution now - cutting bills for everyone, forever.

The objection to Zionism isn't an objection to 'national self-determination'. It's an objection to national self-determination - at the expense of another people. Palestinians have rights as much as anybody else.

We have a media which portrays opposition to Israel’s crimes as antisemitism. That same media is viciously and relentlessly Islamophobic. And as we see here, has no qualms using antisemitic tropes against “the wrong sort of Jew”.

No half-measures. No tinkering around the edges. This Budget must deliver bold action to tackle the cost of living crisis.

Quote graphic featuring Green Party leader Zack Polanski in black and white, against a green-tinted background showing household energy bills.
The headline reads: “FAMILIES CAN'T AFFORD MORE OF THE SAME IN BUDGET.”
Below, Zack Polanski is identified as Leader of the Green Party, alongside the quote:
“With three in five families already cutting back on spending, and many about to see a £300 increase in their bills in January, we’re challenging the government to take bold and immediate action on the cost of living.
“For a start, this means moving more costs off energy bills, properly funding a national home insulation scheme, clamping down on profiteering by energy companies, and rapidly scaling up cheaper, cleaner energy.”

It's time to treat the causes of inflation. That means a clean energy revolution and cutting our reliance on the fossil fuel rollercoaster. It means an emergency rent brake, and it means urgently looking at ways to cut the costs of the basics we all rely on.

Here's something the media is hardly talking about. This Government is set to oversee the steepest fall in living standards in modern times - unless they change course fast. In less than two weeks Labour faces a stark choice - will they tax wealth and back the majority?

Under current projections this is set to be the worst parliament on record for living standards growth - and a bar chart demonstrating it

Not for the first time, I’d ask: what does it mean, if the press keep running campaigns claiming that country’s most horrific racists and bigots are the Green Party, the Labour left, Amnesty International, Stonewall, the police (I know) and Gary Lineker? Look around you. Does that feel right?

CAMILLA LONG
Jew-baiting Greens haven't peaked: they're just getting started

It's strange having a fully fledged, fully funded racist party in our political line-up. It does not comfort me that in Holborn & St Pancras the Greens "only" got nearly 9,000 votes. If the British National Party, another party defined by a racist lie, had won that many votes in any constituency, there would be pandemonium. There would be riots. There wouldn't be amused, jocular analyses in all the main papers. Its leader wouldn't be ushered on to the Today programme as a senior statesman for a light dressing-down by Nick Robinson.
He wouldn't be allowed to repeat propaganda as Polanski did (he sounded as if he was reading lines from a piece of paper). He wouldn't be greeted with a comical, indulgent shrug.
And if I were a Jew in Holborn, or anywhere, watching this, what would I now be thinking? I would be thinking: I now know precisely how many of my fellow constituents want to kill me. Is anyone doing anything to protect me from them?
Just look at the recent hate crime statistics. Jews are now almost ten times more likely than Muslims to be the targets of a religious hate crime. So no one is stopping it. No one is even touching it. This is an unacceptable place for politics to have reached.

Green vote up from 11% to 33%; changing Holborn & St Pancras from a safe Labour seat to a marginal. Second best Green by-election result ever, making the seat winnable next time. 33% would win quite a few seats in the country with the vote division between several parties as things stand.

BBC graphic of the Holborn and St Pancras by-election result, October 2026. Labour 45% in first, down 4 points. Green Party (Zack Polanski) 33% in second, up 22 points.

LGBTIQA+ Greens: Statement on the Holborn and St Pancras by-election

We want to congratulate Zack on more than tripling our vote share in Holborn and St Pancras, as well as increasing the Green Party membership from 50,000 to 200,000+ in the first year of his leadership. Additionally helping to get the Wales Green Party get their first two members of the Senedd, and our own membership of LGBTIQA+ Greens now being over 5,500. These increases show that the Green Party is a growing political force across England and Wales and we can build on this to win in future elections up and down the two countries.
We trust that Zack can deliver real hope and real change to people’s lives, including for those of us who are trans and queer as we desperately need a different direction right now for the country. So we hope the party will join us in coming together under his leadership and take the fight to Labour and Reform.
