What would the Green Party do at the Budget?

💡 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering
🚰 Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands
🏠 Give councils the power to control rents
🚸 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all

Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

“If you go back a million minutes, you reach 2023. Go back a billion minutes, you reach the Roman Empire — that’s the scale of inequality we’re living with.”

Sign the petition: Strip Boris Johnson of his annual former PM allowance
23,000. That's how many deaths can be blamed on Boris Johnson's chaotic Covid decisions and delays. Enough is enough, he must be stripped of his annual £115,000 handout. Sign the petition today:

One of the reasons we need universal basic income plus higher taxes on the rich is to boost the spending power of the bottom 60% and in doing so, reorient our economy around the needs of the majority of people who comprise it. As inequality has increased, our economy has adjusted to meet rich wants.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Id want to try a Bylines sub, before cancelling my Guardian, if one said its either or id probably stay where I felt I was already encouraged and informed.

I think if you generally hold to the same values, you should be allowed to attend and shape. So probably no to reform ;) however, asking potentially active members to have to leave a party they may have been a part of for years, with no real alternative, to see if YP would be a viable alternative?

It was this… “Although the SWP and SP are officially banned from the conference” i had concerns about.

Reading this it makes #YourParty look like a joke, sorry, but you can’t have a party claiming to be on the left and for the people, exclude people groups or left wing organisations joining! That’s what dictators do. So disappointing, again!

Who else was involved,?

For forty years, we were told that Britain didn’t need manufacturing — finance would make us rich. That experiment failed. We import more than we export, our towns are hollowed out, and our prosperity rests on hot money and property bubbles rather than what we make..

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace!

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

The way this Govenrment are treating some of the most vulnerable people in the world is disgusting.

And they the audacity to pretend it's coming from a place of compassion and concern.

Their only actual concern seems to be dancing to the tune of the far right rather than tackle inequality.
