Another Labour manifesto commitment bites the dust. The Green Party is committed to equal employment rights for all workers from their first day of employment, including those working in the ‘gig economy’ and on zero-hours contracts.

"We can judge Farage not just by the words he, allegedly, shouted as a child, but by the words and actions he has chosen as an adult."

Zack Polanski on why Farage should be judged on his record as a politician which has seen him echo conspiracy and language of the far right.

"We need to challenge inequality, that starts with a wealth tax on assets: a 1 per cent tax on £10m or more and a 2 per cent tax on £1bn or more. Yes, that will raise revenue but more importantly it’s about reducing inequality: we must rebalance power and wealth"

The Chancellor spoke about asking everyone to make a contribution, but it is inexcusable that she has made the political choice to squeeze households already struggling with the cost of essentials, whilst letting multimillionaires and billionaires off the hook. greenparty.org.uk/2025/11/26/g...

For David Lammy to describe the right to trial by jury as ‘not a right’ is a disgrace. The Government must fund our justice system properly – not make people pay for Labour and Conservative austerity with their fundamental rights. greenparty.org.uk/2025/11/26/g...

Tell Rachel Reeves not to raise income tax tomorrow.

The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.

How are you going to fund all these social services?

Great question. Can those with £10 million in assets just make themselves known in the comments?

Oh, no one? Cool, well we didn't expect them to be following us anyway.

"#ZackPolanski- he's got a good aura... Let's plant a seed of hope."

Thanks Dan and Phil. We agree. It's sad the rest of the party leaders are lacklustre!

The most chronically online person on our committee told us to tag this #phan but said normal people should not seek out the rest of this show.

We must be more open about men's mental health, so with tomorrow being International Men's Day, we wanted to highlight Andy's Man Club.

They have a free peer-to-peer support group for men to talk through their problems.

SMRs:

not “new technology”

not really small

not really modular

more expensive even than large-scale nuclear

could only be remotely commercially viable by drastic cuts in safety requirements

qualitatively more expensive than renewable energy sources

There's less fraud in disability benefits than the average millionaire's tax return. We can't save money by screwing over disabled people - that would lead to higher spending in health and social care. (As well as being a crappy thing to do.)

Tax wealth; raise welfare.
