"This new party is going to be very strong on environmental issues, grounded in the belief that climate justice is social justice. We will work with the Greens where we can work with them, obviously on environmental issues but also, I hope, on issues of peace and human rights. I’m always open to working with like-minded individuals and groups. Cooperation makes us all stronger"

Siân Berry MP lays down challenge to Nigel Farage to publish log of his meetings with lobbyists

Last week Green Party MP Siân Berry released a full log of her first year of official meetings with campaigners, unions, community groups, businesses and other lobbyists and is challenging all other MPs to do the same. The three other Green MPs are set to follow suit shortly.

Siân is pressing Nigel Farage to ‘come clean’, given Reform UK’s links to and funding from the fossil fuel industry. The Party has reportedly received more than £2.3 million from oil and gas interests, highly polluting industries, and climate science deniers since 2019.

Siân Berry MP said:

This move shows Greens are at the forefront of cleaning up politics through openness and transparency – this is an important part of following the Nolan principles of public life.

I hope every MP will follow suit and join me in publishing records of the campaigns and lobbyists they meet for everyone to see. In particular, I challenge Nigel Farage to come clean so we can all see the extent of corporate and fossil fuel lobbying on the work of Reform UK’s elected representatives.

The call for greater transparency comes as David Lammy stands accused of a conflict of interest and improper influence after a plan emerged to invite staff from oil giant Shell and the defence firm BAE Systems to work inside the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

Responding, Siân said:

This move potentially places corporate lobbyists at the heart of Government where there is a risk they will have undue influence on international policy. These two corporations both have highly blemished records when it comes to human rights, and in the case of Shell, the company has weakened its emissions targets, moved away from renewables and is ramping up fossil fuel extraction. This is in sharp contrast to the Government’s stated aim of a green transition.

Green Party co-leader Chloe Swarbrick was suspended from New Zealand's parliament after making a speech about the genocide in Gaza. She called out the members of the government who did not support her bill to sanction Israel for war crimes

"As far as the robust debate goes in that place, I think that was pretty mild in the context of the war crimes that are currently unfolding," Swarbrick later said

Greens call for end to Right to Buy which has ‘hollowed out’ council housing stock

Responding to a report by the Common Wealth thinktank which says that the sale of millions of council homes to tenants at steep discounts since 1980 has fuelled vast shortages in social housing and turbocharged inequality, Green MP Ellie Chowns said:

This report lays bare the devastation Right to Buy has wrought on communities up and down the country. Successive governments stood by while Right to Buy hollowed out our council housing stock, creating chronic shortages and deepening inequality.

We cannot allow this crisis to continue: it’s time to end Right to Buy, urgently reinvest in secure, affordable social housing that is fit for the future, and guarantee stability and opportunity for families across the UK.

My favourite is the two-person team running for EDI Co-ordinator where one of them is pro trans rights and the other is explicitly anti trans rights.

You’re literally running together to co-ordinate EDI policies for the entire party and you can't even co-ordinate between two of you, you muppets!

Just a little #PSA for those voting in the #GreenParty internal elections…

Stack rank your favourite trans-inclusive candidates, then add re-open nominations at the bottom. Leave the TERFs and the 'not prepared to take a side'-ers on the left side of the screen. Don't give them any of your vote.

#Degrowth should be understood as an element within a #socialist transformation, as a corrective to productivist strains of socialist thought that are inadequate for our moment. The problem with productivism is that it ignores #imperialism & #ecology.”

The fact that police facial recognition technology has been put on our streets and expanded repeatedly over nearly ten years - by two Governments - without a single piece of specific legislation being voted on by MPs is utterly outrageous and sinister. - Sian Berry MP - Green Party
