The Green Party of England & Wales

People around the world are uniting to say no to Trump. Yet Andy Burnham does the opposite by approving the Jackdaw gas field.

“People are demanding action on rents, the cost of the climate emergency and about how we can bring people's bills down and yet what we're about to see is just the same old.” Hannah Spencer on the government's approach to Wednesday's Budget, speaking at the Cost of Living rally.

People power. 🇧🇷🇷🇸 Real hope. Real change.

We’ve seen this script before. This Labour government won’t take action for the people who so desperately need change right now.

This week's Budget must tackle the cost-of-living crisis. Tax the super-rich. End austerity.

The devastating consequences of climate breakdown are already here and the UN this week has warned that global warming will breach 1.5°C. Labour's response: pushing ahead with more fossil fuels by approving Jackdaw.

We don’t need a business-as-usual Budget. We need a Budget to tax extreme wealth and make the UK affordable. This is the scale of change Britain desperately needs – and only the Green Party can deliver it.

It is time to cut tax breaks for big tech and use it to fund warmer homes. Here's our policy to lower energy bills, explained in 30 seconds.

“If we are to be truly prepared for all of the threats that we face, we need to have a clear sight of what those threats are.” Ellie Chowns makes the case for a broader approach to national security on #BBCQT.

“We need to make the transition as fast as possible, not least because genuinely, the future of our kids depends on this.” Ellie Chowns makes the case for accelerating the transition to clean, renewable energy following Labour's approval of Jackdaw on #BBCQT.

Green MP @sianberry.bsky.social condemns Labour's inhumane asylum plans.

🤥

We are in a climate emergency & yet the government just approved Jackdaw. As Green MPs, we've tabled an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to keep fossil fuels in the ground (including Rosebank) and to focus on things that would actually lower bills & create secure jobs.

Jackdaw won't bring down energy bills. Everyone knows it - even the Energy Secretary. So why is the Prime Minister suggesting it will?

Labour knows the consequences of the climate crisis. Their own words prove it. Yet when it comes to Jackdaw, they’ve put the fossil fuel industry first.

The good news for Labour is they've finally found someone who thinks Jackdaw is a good idea. The bad news? It's Donald Trump.

Over May and June, 2,877 people died in the UK due to extreme heat. Today Labour has approved new gas drilling in the North Sea to please Donald Trump and Shell. Now we know whose side Labour is on.

"This is deeply irresponsible from a Labour government" Zack Polanski speaks to The National about Labour's approval of new gas drilling.

We've been consistent on no new oil and gas from day one. Unlike Labour.

Sixty years ago, 116 children and 28 adults lost their lives in the Aberfan disaster. Today, we remember those who died, their loved ones, and a community forever changed by this tragedy. The stars in the night sky symbolise those whose memory lives on. Cofiwch Aberfan.

Jackdaw is climate vandalism. Labour are putting Shell's profits before people and planet.

Greens have a plan for failing water companies like Thames Water. Special administration. Public ownership. Zero compensation for shareholders. When will Labour end the rip off?

Young people need opportunities, not more cuts. It's time to invest in proper jobs, training and a future they can build on.

“Andy Burnham is going to have to contend with what addressing neoliberal policies looks like. And bring things fully into public ownership, which is what the Greens are committed to doing.” Chantelle Lunt on the need to transform adult social care, on BBC Politics North West.

“People are dying every single day. And my party is unified on saying this government is still arming that genocide.” Zack Polanski on the Labour government's continued involvement in Gaza and the fight for Palestinian rights. #BBCLauraK

“Andy Burnham is adopting the language of the Green Party. The question is, will they adopt our policies? All the evidence so far is Labour isn't going to do that.” Zack Polanski on changing rhetoric but not changing action from the new Prime Minister, on #BBCLauraK

The upcoming budget must put ordinary people’s interests before those of fossil fuel shareholders. Make polluters pay.

We need a Budget that makes everyday essentials affordable, taxes extreme wealth fairly through measures like reforming Capital Gains Tax, and invests in warmer homes. More of the same from the Chancellor simply isn't good enough.

Reform's attitude towards women, in their own words and actions. Disgusting.

Preventing our climate from becoming more extreme means leaving fossil fuels in the ground. No new drilling in the North Sea.

Standing together against hate means standing up for everyone. Everybody deserves to feel safe, respected and welcome.

Reform's politics of division won't fix our NHS. It is time to stand by international treaties and properly fund out public services.

🚨 GREEN WIN VS REFORM 🚨 Congratulations to Amber Valley Green Party on electing new councillor Bess Saunders in Kilburn, Denby, Holbrook & Horsley ward in Derbyshire 💚

“Tom Watson has taken a job lobbying for Palantir. Revolving doors. They really are a problem in British politics.” Natalie Bennett criticises the links between politicians and powerful corporations, and Watson’s comments about “mob rule" deciding government contracts.

No half-measures. No tinkering around the edges. This Budget must deliver bold action to tackle the cost of living crisis.

A campaign powered by people. Thank you to everyone who played their part. 💚

“Burnham wouldn’t be there without Zack, because we won four times as many votes from Labour as Reform.” Green Party Deputy Leader Rachel Millward, on BBC Newsnight, discussing Zack Polanski’s influence on moving Labour to the left.

The winner of Nobel peace prize doing what the Government of the United Kingdom will not do: calling Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide.

"What we're hearing is rhetoric. We're not yet seeing action" @zackpolanski.bsky.social challenges the Prime Minister to close the gap between his words and his actions.

"What we got was our second best ever by-election result in Green Party history" @zackpolanski.bsky.social reflecting on the Holborn and St Pancras by-election.

A campaign to be proud of. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make it happen.

“What I've seen over the last few weeks are people who are excited about our plans. We are going to build and grow.” Zack Polanski reflects on the Holborn & St Pancras by-election as we more than tripled our vote share in the constituency from the last general election.

The Greens aren't waiting for Labour to deliver change. We're setting the agenda, holding the government to account and showing why getting more Green MPs makes a difference.

“Reform are only interested in dividing our communities to distract from the fact that they have no answers to the problems facing the people of Wales.” Anthony Slaughter in the Senedd during Reform UK's debate on access to HMOs and social housing for foreign nationals.

"Only the Green Party has the policies to address inequality, through taxes on wealth; tackle the cost of living crisis with rent controls and raising the minimum wage; and fight climate breakdown through a nationwide home insulation programme and turbocharging renewables" - @carladenyer.bsky.social

That’s a wrap on Green Party Conference 2026 💚
