“Tom Watson has taken a job lobbying for Palantir. Revolving doors. They really are a problem in British politics.” Natalie Bennett criticises the links between politicians and powerful corporations, and Watson’s comments about “mob rule" deciding government contracts.

Congratulations to Sagal. I wish her the very best in representing this amazing place. I'm proud of the campaign we fought. To go from 10% to 33% of the vote share during the PM's 'bounce' is good - but our ambitions are far higher.

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.”

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.

Statement from Seb:

"I would like to congratulate Hannah Cawley as the newly elected councillor for Walkley. Of course I would have liked the result to be different, but the people have spoken and I respect the decision."

"It was an honour to be a candidate and participate in this way in our democracy. We must, above all, exercise and protect our democratic rights and never take them for granted."
