Reeves considers cut to green levies in effort to reduce cost of energy bills
Exclusive: Chancellor hopes to save up to ยฃ170 from average bill but industry insiders say move would be โdisastrousโ
Canโt quite believe the Chancellor is seriously considering slashing support for home energy efficiency as a way to cut fuel bills ๐. Locking people into cold & leaky homes which will cost them more to heat & decimating the insulation industry at same time. Total madness ๐

You clearly know nothing about the Green Party. Perhaps you might like to do a little research about their policies and how they are formulated.

Policies for the Green Party of England and Wales are formulated democratically by its members. They are socialist policies. Your Party don't have any policies 'bedrocked in a fundamental principle', they are still working them out! They even managed to mess up their launch.

Who cares? If you are nitpicking the constitution then Your Party don't have one yet? The important point is all the policies of the Greens are socialist.

The Greens are totally a socialist party and Polanski is an accomplished orator who is vocalising all the socialist policies of the Greens. Your Party have most of the same policies, but so far are totally disorganised. Why reinvent the wheel when we have the Greens already set up and ready to go?

How to tame the populists: lessons from the Netherlands
Recent elections in the Netherlands show how a proportional voting system can prevent extremists from taking power. Lessons for the UK?
The UK has become a genuine multi-party country โ but our voting system hasnโt caught up. The Dutch elections this week show how proportional representation can give everyone a voice, while keeping extremists out of power.

Reject plans for a mandatory BritCard (digital ID)
Sir Keir Starmer is considering a mandatory digital ID scheme called โBritCardโ that would make us all reliant on a digital pass to go about our daily lives.
Mandatory digital IDs give the state enor...
The government is pushing forward with something that could change life in Britain forever - a mandatory digital ID scheme. It would be a digital pass you need to prove who you are, to work, to access services, to be trusted. Right now, Starmerโs plans are still in development. 38d.gs/0h2c

Meanwhile Labour go after the poor, the disabled, the elderly, instead of windfall taxing energy companies. Disgraceful

'Just getting started': Zack Polanski reacts as Greens SECOND in new poll
ZACK Polanski has welcomed a new poll putting his party in second place at Westminster.
So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....
Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.
It's time for Proportional Representation.
