Ok, that makes more sense to me while it is progressive narrowly looked at looking at income from work it can be seen as regressive in that it widens the gap between the taxation on earned and unearned income.

That said feel that there still a strong case both undertaxed

I think because it is not a cliff edge the effect will always be narrowly progressive (in that high earner will always pay a greater share of their salary)

See this simplified example

The most unapologetically class based radical speech made by a party leader of a major party certainly in my adult life. #gpconf

For the first time Jewish Greens are moved to recommend conference deprioritise a motion

Question 7. When is tolerating the intolerant a fault.
Luanne: Tolerating the intolerant becomes a fault when it enables harm. Why is it so radical to be kind
Cade: Goes a step further need to make rooms safe for people tolerating the intolerant harm when voice belief

Question 4 how would you deal with antisemitic and antizionism being equated.
Cade: Would always call it out can not ignore children killed even before October 7th
Ekua: Need to strengthen and resource liberation groups. There is a separate system of governance and a faith

Question 2 What role does faith play in your life?
Aasiya: Faith means everything to me talked about experience with XR Muslim
Cade: Found experiences as openly queer person actively traumatic suspicious of organised religion. Would like to have faith

A rare public endorsement for Green Party of England and Wales elections #GPEW2025
Joshua Alston @joshalston.bsky.social running for Policy development committee. He is a committed GPEW activist, radical academic and excellent policy drafter who already extensively written national policy.

A new nadir in the history of a once prestigious organisation that in the recent past seems determined to plunge to ever more shameful depths

One of the most frustrating aspects of this price cap rise is that UK gas prices are falling. @cornwallinsight.bsky.social predicts in 3 months 80% of this increase will be unwound.

Late to this but looking at @carbonbrief.org write up of the clean power plan and that is a lot of batteries

Twice this week spent time @jamesthorniley.bsky.social and @greenpartyemma.bsky.social campaigning to elect Greens in central Oxford. Undeterred by (loads of) rain, or (loads of) wind. A great group (2 of whom can wear hats).

Come along and join us in December.
