Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Great to hear London Labour MPs panicking about losing their seats to the Green Party.
For clarity, though - this goes way beyond just London.
Across England & Wales, we're saying lower bills, tax billionaires and we're ready to take on Reform.

Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.
A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.

He ditched the Green New Deal the moment he took power; invented 'grey belt' to build over green; slashed regs & fast-tracked Heathrow's 3rd runway: Keir Starmer is rattled, caught in a pincer movement between Left & Right with no one to blame but 'centrism' itself.

More than two million households living under Reform-run councils face tax rises of £127 million next year. Before the election they promised to bring down council tax by cutting wasteful spending. But Durham, Kent, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Leicestershire & Lincolnshire are all putting up rates

Almost 100% of children in 73 neighbourhoods in England are living in income-deprived families.
Labour could choose to lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty immediately by scrapping the two-child benefit cap.
