Greens have set the political agenda this year, and we'll continue to push Labour to cut people's bills and protect our planet. Here's me speaking to the News Agents about the Green Party's influence on Labour over the past year.

Conference starts today! I've been on the media rounds speaking to Today, Sky, Five Live, LBC and more about our vision for a fairer, Greener country. I can't wait to meet so many of you over the weekend! Brighton is looking beautiful

Privatisation of water has been an absolutely unmitigated disaster. The Green Party would put water back into public hands and reverse years of radical underinvestment.

Greens in power deliver for communities and nature. It was fantastic to help open the Wealden Community Sports hub. In Wealden we're delivering for our rural communities, families and young people. I can't wait to see how much it'll bring to our special part of the world.

Reform is a party funded by billionaires that chooses to attack people fleeing environmental breakdown, famine and war. We’re calling for safe routes so asylum seekers can apply before they leave their country, and never have to face a dangerous crossing in a small boat. join.greenparty.org.uk

The UK needs a cap on political donations to ensure we serve people, not profit. The Green Party is holding Burnham to account - it's time he gets serious about undemocratic donations from the ultra rich.

It's been a fantastic start to the campaign in Holborn & St Pancras. It's clear that voters here want a voice to hold Burnham accountable, not another unquestioning backbencher. Make sure you join us for future Action Days before October 8th! You don't want to miss this. 💚

Labour and Burnham have been silent on capping political donations while Reform gets £72 million from Farage's billionaire mates. We need @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Parliament to hold Labour to account, not another Labour backbencher to wave through Burnham's policies without scrutiny.
A quote from Rachel Millward, Deputy Leader of the Green Party. It reads, "Reform is a vessel for the super wealthy. They will always act in the interests of the super wealthy. Labour could have stopped this years ago by capping donations. Burnham promised to do it then backtracked. Will he now admit this was a mistake? Burnham and Labour have been quiet on a donations cap for the last 24 hours. The public needs to know where he stands."

"A vote for @zackpolanski.bsky.social would be a vote to push Burnham further to the left. Even people who voted for Labour could see [voting for Zack] as a strong signal to this Labour government to be the best version of itself." Read the full article at the link in the thread 🔗

While Burnham fails to act on the climate crisis and Reform outright denies it, the Daily Mail spreads misinformation about the tragic wildfires we're facing. Only the Green Party will seriously tackle climate change. Nationalise water. Invest in renewables. Climate action now.

Deary me. Caught in the act of corruption, blaming "the establishment" when he represents the very worst of wealth and power. Please, help me find my tiny violin... And in the meantime, let's reform our political system so our democracy is no longer tainted by big money.

Rosebank contains enough to produce over 200 million tonnes of CO2, more than the combined annual emissions of 28 countries. Opening up these oilfields will do nothing to improve energy security or bring down bills, as any fuels will be sold at global prices on the world market.

The trans community in this country is treated appalling. They deserve to be treated with dignity, like everyone else. Piers Morgan's obsession with this question is bizarre and disrespectful.

Legalising and regulating drugs is about reducing the harm and deaths caused by drug use, and treating addicts rather than criminalsing them. It is appalling that Labour and Reform are playing politics with people's lives.

The Green Party calls on Starmer to call out our allies acting like rogue states and defying international law. Illegal bombing is not the way to help the people of Iran, or to maintain global security. We must not be complicit in any way. We must call for rapid de-escalation.
