Farmers are on the front lines of the climate crisis, with extreme weather leading to record losses in 2025.

The govt must take urgent steps to invest in tackling climate breakdown now, including targeted support for farmers to move to more climate-resilient methods.

In case it wasn't already obvious why Farage and his party are spreading misinformation about the climate crisis and trying to blame the most vulnerable for the problems caused by inequality - they've just received a record donation from a jet fuel multimillionaire!

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.
"More than fifteen years of continuing
austerity has caused a backlog in the
courts, not juries. Instead of dismantling
a centuries-old fundamental legal right,
the Government must reverse the
neglect and cuts that created this mess
in the first place."

The people in this country need real, material improvement in their lives and they need it now.

We need a politics that can flip austerity on its head and put the needs of the working class first.

"Ordinary people are going to see their income tax bills increase"

@adrianramsay.bsky.social explains how Labour's budget fails to address unprecedented cost of living pressures- and how a wealth tax would raise revenues to fund our infrastructure and publicย services.

๐Ÿ‘€ So while all eyes were on the budget, Ministers just slipped out their North Sea Future Plan. While itโ€™s good to see them stick to manifesto pledge not to grant new licenses, itโ€™s a shame to see approval of โ€œtiebacksโ€ to existing fields - unnecessary concession that undermines climate messages

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Gambling taxes are long overdue and an ethical way to raise revenue.

But while advertising and lobbying are so rampant, harms will continue until they are controlled. #Budget

The Chancellor's decision to cut energy bills by raiding the Warm Homes Plan isn't a genuine solution to fuel poverty; it's robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Ridiculous to prioritise short-term headlines at the expense of long-term delivery when costs could be funded by taxing wealth.

Rachel Reeves will freeze fuel duty to dodge โ€˜political suicideโ€™ The chancellor will also highlight a rise in the minimum wage and plans to cut energy bills as she tries to win over voters by focusing on cost of living

Since 2011 the fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury ยฃ133 billion.

This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

What would Greens do at the Budget?

๐ŸŸข Cut energy bills by ending profiteering
๐ŸŸข Give councils the power to control rents
๐ŸŸข Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands
๐ŸŸข Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all

Cut bills. Tax billionaires.

Ahead of tomorrow's Budget, the Green Party's message couldn't be clearer: cut bills, tax billionaires.

We live in a massively unequal society - it's time to change that. Tax wealth fairly, reduce the strain on ordinary families, and invest in publicย services.
