Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.
Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.
This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

One of the funniest things about the 'Abolish Landlords' policy passing is trying to work out which critics (across the right, centre, and obstructivist-left) genuinely think two words is all a major housing policy consists of, and which are just arguing against it in this way disingenuously.

🚨 UPDATE 🚨
This week, Green Party Specialist Interest Groups will be told whether Party leadership plans to allow GWD to run a stall at Autumn Conference
To be clear: GWD is a transphobic lobbying outfit, fronted by expelled ex-members with a history of breaching party values and code of conduct

My understanding is that GPEW now has legal advice and leadership are holding high-level discussions about how to handle the GWD stall at Autumn Conference
As I mentioned before, members should be prepared for the likely presence of an anti-trans lobby group led by expelled former members

There is no justification for expanding airports in a climate emergency.
