The Chancellor (when in opposition) & now Lord Kinnock & a former First Minister of Wales have all backed calls for a wealth tax.
I asked the PM if he stands by his promise that those with the broadest shoulders should bear the biggest burden.
He dodged my question again.
Indeed he was, with his multimillion pound donations from fossil fuel deniers and tax dodgers.
31.05.2025 12:11 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Our hundreds of elected Greens improve lives and help people every day. Not one elected Green I know has sacrificed their principles for power. To suggest that the party is currently unelectable/ineffectual is dishonest, and disrespects the work of thousands of committed Greens over decades.
31.05.2025 09:23 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Itโs really simple. You canโt change ANYTHING if you donโt win elections. Team 1: former councillors, former MEP, sitting MPs, co-author of Target to Win, an architect of the staff field team. In 4 years doubled our councillors, quadrupled our MPs. Proven success. Team 2: never won a FPTP election.

Watch me & Ellie on national TV taking the fight to those who make the poor poorer and the rich richer.
This is what credible leadership looks like.

False equivalence. She wasnโt standing. We can only deal with the options in front of us.

26.05.2025 17:01 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Great. He can continue to support the leadership team from his deputy position. Let him play to his strengths.
26.05.2025 16:54 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0If that were even true, it would still add up to the same media time as a sole leader, literally no worse off. But the reality is that with co leaders we get twice the work, twice the exposure, in Parliament, asking big questions at the big table.

Weโve worked hard for many years to have strong, credible leaders like @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social in Parliament, asking big questions at the biggest table.
Leaders who know exactly what it takes to win MPs and councillors in the toughest seats.

This is why it is important to have Green Party leaders at the biggest table of all: Parliament. Holding the government to account over its shameful position on Gaza, and having the platform to influence national policy.

Chris Packham, Sir David King, and scientists pose with a banner which reads "Bring science to politics: For Climate, Nature & Survival

Adrian Ramsay, Ellie, Chris Packham, and Jenny Jones pose for a photo. Chris is holding a sign saying "Bring Science to Politics"
Brilliant to stand alongside Chris Packham, Sir David King, and over 150 scientists at todayโs Science to Politics event, gathering outside Parliament to bring their expertise to govt and demand action on the climate emergency. Itโs clear: if weโre to protect our planet, we must listen to science.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. END ALL ARMS SALES Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
Since the partial suspension of export licences in September 2024, the UK has exported over 8000 individual munitions, 150,000 bullets and 299 "tanks and other armored fighting vehicles" to Israel.
Continuing to arm a genocidal regime is indefensible.
The UK must end ALL arms sales to Israel.
Hereโs what The Guardian is saying.
"Ramsay and Ellie are expected to be favourites and have one particularly strong card to play: they can point to the approach already taken by the outgoing leadership, and argue that it worked."
