Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.
Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.
This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Times headline: ‘BBC failing to tackle systemic bias, says author of leaked memo’. In fact, when asked by MPs, this man, Michael Prescott, said he didn’t believe the BBC was institutionally biased. The Times failed to quote that, in an article about the issue of truthful reporting.
