“Populism, as I see it, is the 99% versus the 1% — the working majority against a tiny elite that has taken our power and wealth.”

Green Party Leader Zack Polanski speaks to CNN about hope, unity and taking on billionaire-backed politics.

Labour were broken a long time ago.

Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.

A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.

Time to make hope normal again.

This morning the Chancellor spoke of difficult decisions for everyone but the ultra-rich.

It’s time to tackle the cost of living crisis, end child poverty and invest in our vital public services by taxing extreme wealth fairly.

They gained more than 6000 members in a single day. There are now more Green members than members of the Conservative Party and their membership is more than double the reported membership of the LibDems.
