Our street surgeries are as popular today as when we started them six years ago.
People say how they are glad that they have Green Party councillors that look after them, listen and respond to their concerns.

75% of Brits said they would support a wealth tax of 1% on assets above £10m and 2% on assets above £1bn. This is the exact same wealth tax as that proposed by Zack Polanski’s Green Party, who themselves are enjoying a surge in the polls.

Who runs Labour’s housing policy? The biggest profit-driven big developers, that’s who.
Not councils, not Mayors with carefully Green-influenced policies, not housing co-ops or charities, not even housing associations. And definitely not homeless families.

I’m British and I carry my migrant heritage in my surname.
It shows my Danish roots, via the Netherlands, every time I write or say my name.
I have Scottish (Reed) and French (Guilbert) blood in my veins too.
I’m proud of my country because, not despite, of migration.

What's the biggest barrier to households taking the leap to energy efficiency?
💷Cost is definitely a factor
⚒️Disruption and hassle
But a huge blockage is lack of confidence in the system

UK energy efficiency sector in crisis: New NAO report finds a staggering 98% failure rate for external wall insulation installed since 2022 under ECO scheme.
It's a tragedy for the households suffering from poor installs and a massive setback for public confidence in the insulation industry.

Having spoken on several occasions with a constituent whose family continues to suffer the injustice of this cover up, I’d like to encourage you to consider signing this petition.
🚨I'm joining ChinookJustice in calling on Keir Starmer to hold a judge-led public inquiry.
The Prime Minister promised transparency & accountability in public office. His disgraceful decision to deny the families an opportunity to find out the truth is the opposite of that

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
