🚨Labour broken promise alert 🚨
Labour promised to upgrade Britain's homes but now they're going to leave millions in cold homes, paying huge bills while energy companies profit
Households will pay £300 more in energy bills than they were promised (up to £500 for some!)

In May 2023, the residents of Mid Suffolk voted for change when they elected the first majority Green council in the UK.
So what have they been doing since then? Is it a new model? Definitely worth a read. 👇

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.

This afternoon, I joined my fellow Green MPs outside the Treasury with a clear message: our economy is broken, and it’s failing ordinary people.
We need bold action to tackle inequality and the climate crisis—business as usual isn't working. It’s time to rebalance the economy.
