Labour's attempt to remove our right to a jury trial in thousands of cases - including protest related offences - is a serious attack on our civil liberties.

That's why the Green MPs have tabled an amendment to reject it.

The Green Party says no to Labour's toolkit for tyrants.

From mandatory ID cards to arresting pensioners for holding up cardboard signs to cosy deals with US tech spy firms:

It's good to see lawyers pushing back on their increasingly authoritarian Govenrment.

We must protect jury trials.

Gorton and Denton showed that people are desperate for a different kind of politics.

But Labour have doubled down: with smears, misrepresentation, and BNP-inspired migration policy.

How low will Labour go? πŸ“‰

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

Israel's genocide in Gaza has killed over 72,000 Palestinians.

Now Palestinians in Gaza again face enforced hunger after Israel closed all crossings into Gaza, with humanitarian groups warning supplies will last only a few days.

End the siege. Let food in.

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK.

The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party.

Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.

The Channel 4 docudrama 'Dirty Business' is exposing the real danger that sewage pollution poses to our environment and our health.

All while shareholders receive billions in dividends.

It's time to end the failed privatisation experiment and bring water back into public hands.

Dear Pat,
As Green Party MPs and Peers, we are writing to you regarding the Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill.
Green Parliamentarians welcome the long-overdue decision to remove the cruel two child benefit cap, and we want to put on record our thanks to all of the campaigns and individuals with lived experience of the cap who have worked tirelessly to push the government to this point. This cap should have been scrapped on day one of this Parliament, and it is shameful that 330,000 children were kept in poverty unnecessarily while action was delayed.1
Ahead of the Autumn Budget, when talking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said: β€œI don’t think that it’s right that a child is penalised because they are in a bigger family, through no fault of their own.”2
We wholeheartedly agree with this statement, which is why we are extremely concerned that the Government is refusing to consider scrapping a second harmful policy that restricts social security support for some children: the household benefit cap.
Your Department’s own impact assessment for the Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill says 50,000 families will see no financial gain at all from the removal of the two- child limit because they are subject to the household benefit cap. Another 20,000 families in the first year will see only a partial gain before the cap applies to them as well.3
As a result, over 200,000 children living in deep poverty will continue to be penalised simply because they are part of a larger family. This directly contradicts the principle articulated by the Chancellor and undermines the stated aim of lifting children out of poverty.
The Green Party is calling on you to make the right decision now, rather than relying on a future U-turn, and to widen the scope of the Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill to remove the household benefit cap. No child should be de

Green MPs and Peers have written to the Government calling for the household benefit cap to be scrapped alongside the two-child limit.

Because lifting one cap while keeping another will still leave over 200,000 children in deep poverty.

Child poverty is a political choice β€” not an inevitability.

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 β€˜very extensive data’ and β€˜having spoken to over a third of
eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election β€˜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 β€œDhoka” ) 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
