The London economic. Three-quarters of Brits support Green Party’s wealth tax, survey finds. YouGov

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.

“The idea that the Labour party are on the left is completely incoherent"

Zack Polanski challenging the tired narrative of the mainstream media is a thing of beauty.

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.

short-term thinking and timidity.

Thanks Alex, it was interesting to see someone looking at my job from a different angle.

The stand out comment for me?
Outsourced highways engineers wouldn’t ride their own infrastructure because the risk assessment said ‘too dangerous’

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

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.

This is a lie.

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.

At our Autumn Conference I met so many people who were bursting with enthusiasm, having found their political home with the @greenparty.org.uk.
You can find your home with us too.
