Patrick Stewart attended drama school thanks to his local government council. Taxpayers paid for Stewart’s acting education, which is exactly how it should be! Fund the arts and fund education!

A summer of thousands of climate deaths. A winter of bill hikes approaching. And a Government refusing to do what's needed to cut bills and curb climate catastrophe.

Clement Attlee founded the NHS, built record numbers of council houses, nationalised Housing, Power, Rail, Energy, Steel, Fossil Fuel and employed more than 2m people in 5 years all with the greatest debt the UK had ever had. And the economy boomed and debt fell.

Patrick Stewart talks about Clement Attlee (best ever UK PM) winning when he was 5 and how he has been a Socialist ever since. Which terrifies Americans.

Zero mention of climate in a budget balanced on future tax receipts from unapproved oil drilling. Plenty of praise for bankers, but a broken pledge to equalise the minimum wage for young people. A budget that betrays the future for young people and the planet they inherit.

Unlike other parties with their prohibitive delegate systems and their powerful Friends of Israel groups, members decide policy in this party, no one else. The Green Party is the only major British political party where the membership truly decides. Let’s keep it that way. 👇📖

"We have to meet the moment." But that's the point chancellor. You absolutely haven't. Why are we letting oil and gas companies rake in record profits and destroy the planet?

We've waited patiently for a plan to end neoliberalism. We won't wait anymore. We need rent controls We need a wealth tax We need *serious* cuts to energy bills Instead it's a few pence off gherkins & a payout which the experts say won't touch the sides on energy bills.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the poorest 34 *million* people. The problem is not a pensioner or a young person looking for a job - the problem is wealth inequality. We need a wealth tax. Now.
