Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

This report makes a compelling case: that cutting carbon emissions makes sense for our economy, as well as for the safety of our climate.

Image is a screenshot of a reasoned amendment to the Courts and Tribunals Bill. It is signed by  Siân Berry, Hannah Spencer, Carla Denyer, Dr Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay.

It reads: That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Courts and Tribunals Bill because it is an inadequate and dangerous response to the challenges faced by the courts; it does not provide the correct solutions to the chronic backlog of cases in the Crown Court; it would not address the long-term underfunding that has led to the degradation of court systems, infrastructure and buildings; it would limit the crucial civil liberty and constitutional protection of trial by a jury of one’s own peers by removing defendants’ right to elect the Crown Court for all triable either-way offences; this change would cover a range of protest-related offences, and because protest rights and free speech, which act as safeguards against authoritarianism, have already been eroded by this Government and should not be limited further; jury trials build public trust and confidence in the courts and act as a space of shared civic responsibility that builds social cohesion; more effective interventions could be implemented that do not roll back fundamental rights, including expanding the use of ‘blitz courts’, increasing the number of sitting days, removing from the system cases that are no longer in the public interest to prosecute, increasing investment in legal aid, improving court case management technology, and bringing in more efficient processes to ensure defendants are brought to court and to the dock on time; and removing rights to judgment by one’s own peers may have the unintended consequence of increasing court backlogs through a rise in appeals.

🚨We have tabled an amendment to reject the Government’s sinister attempt to remove jury trials including for many protest related offences.

Our civil liberties have already been eroded by this Govt and should not be limited any further.

Greens are standing up against Labour's toolkit for tyrants.

Didn't expect Daily Mail to be doing free branding.

This summer, govt will set legally binding limits on greenhouse gas emissions for 2038-42 – critical for reaching net zero by 2050 🏭🌍 I’m part of the Environmental Audit Committee, which is urging the government to centre communities. 6 key takeaways from our report, published today 👇

A good summary of how Greens have formed an evidence-based, public health approach to drugs policy, to counter the deliberate misinformation about what it is and what it isn’t. The current war on drugs is not working.

This is an amazing interview. Not because of the interviewer, he was hostile, but the ability of Zack to answer so many questions, honestly, logically, with evidence and qualification is astounding.
Such a brilliant leader. 💚

This is chilling - foreigners 'stole' the election as a pretext to demonise and disenfranchise minority communities.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked, do you regret not standing in Gorton & Denton yourself?

No, says Zack, because in the Greens we aren't unprincipled opportunists who parachute ourselves into seats to further our own careers (in so many words) #GMB

Dear Lucy
On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a
Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour
by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist.
This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party
in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public?
In your last letter to me you mentioned your ‘very extensive data’ and ‘having spoken to over a third of
eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election ‘was a contest between labour and
Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of
political deception (or in Urdu “Dhoka” ) to win.
You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the
Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real
prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want.
As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to
apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.”
Kind regards,
Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

LABOUR CAUGHT CREATING FAKE TACTICAL VOTING WEBSITE

Screenshot of a tweet that reads:
The Movement Forward | StopTheTories.vote @MVTFWD
A Warning: there is no tactical voting site called "Tactical Choice"
If you choose to vote tactically it's important to seek independent, impartial advice. And always check the source online, as printed leaflets could be out of date, or even intentionally misleading.
#GortonAndDenton

Promoted by Miles Thorpe on behalf of Hannah Spencer, both at 173 Mount Road, Gorton, Manchester, M18 7QT.

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets.

Lying to voters is all they have left.

All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.

On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

The final weekend before the crucial Gorton & Denton election.

The only party leader to show up, support their candidate and hit the ground canvassing - @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Where was Keir Starmer? @lucympowell.bsky.social

No sign of Nigel Farage (or Matt Goodwin).

Greens deserve to win.💚

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.

But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.

Richard Tice pulled out.
Farage won’t face me.
Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.

Vote Green.
