4/4 The best way to reduce overdose deaths would be to legalise AND REGULATE the illicit drug market (while avoiding corporate capture). However, in the short term, we desperately need harm reduction to be implemented since drug policy based on zero tolerance is unrealistic & counterproductive.

3/4 Bristol is lucky enough to have a drug checking service, though it only opens once a month. Many other local authorities want one but again, face too many barriers to getting them in place.

2/4 In Bristol and in other local authorities, we are asking the Home Office to remove barriers to us putting more life saving treatments in place. The last stock answer from the Home Office was word for word the same as under the Tories.

The Greens are the only real opposition left in British politics. Standing up for fair taxes, a livable planet + a future where compassion and courage matter more than corporate interests. People are understandably disillusioned, but we are here to make hope normal again - @zackpolanski.bsky.social

That means the public link is clear:
Government policy (AI Growth Zones) provides the framework;
BlackRock provides the global finance;
Residents provide the land, water, electricity — and bear the risks.
No one voted for this.
