This is set to be the worst parliament in living memory for living standards. This is a broken system. We need the kind of deep, systemic changes that piss off millionaire donors: cheap, clean, publicly-owned energy and water systems; rent freezes; and taxes on extreme wealth.

It is a shocking indictment of the state of our Parliament that just over 10% of MPs have signed this letter calling for sanctions on Israel for blocking lifesaving aid for the people in Gaza.
We deserve better
Proud to be one of the 75 MPs that signed this letter from @amcarmichaelMP calling for further sanctions on Israel for blocking aid to Palestinians in Gaza
TONIGHT 6PM VICTORIA EMBANKMENT

An open letter to Lambeth’s Labour MPs. Jackdaw Gas Field is an unacceptable betrayal of our climate commitments. We urge you to challenge this decision.
The budget must be one that invests in our services, communities, and lives – and starts undoing the UK's extreme inequality by taxing the super rich. No half measures! Tax wealth, freeze rents, and nationalise the water companies now!
ALT Green Party Budget Demand 1: Raise £60bn annually by taxing extreme wealth
ALT Green Party Budget Demand 2: Bring down bills and freeze rents
ALT Green Party Budget Demand 3: Invest in free travel and free school meals
ALT Green Party Budget Demand 4: Nationalise the failing water companies now

We have already extracted more oil and gas than we can burn in our lifetimes and still have a habitable planet.
The Labour Government is lying to us about the climate disaster. And this same energy secretary admitted earlier in the year this will do nothing to lower our bills.
Energy Secretary @Miatsf says Zack Polanski's criticism about the govt giving the green light to Jackdaw is "complete nonsense".
The government claims they can still meet their climate objectives.
Lambeth Green Party retweeted
Did the government not just experience the same summer we did?
Burning new gas from Jackdaw after thousands died prematurely due to extreme heat just months ago is incomprehensible and, as the govt admits, won’t lower bills.
This is the wrong decision.🧵

Labour really did do it, they really did wait until after they'd won the by election against the Greens to say "yeah we're gonna drill the oil suckers, shoulda voted for Zack idiot"

By the end of this Parliament, Labour will likely have approved:
1. Jackdaw
2. Rosebank
3. Third runway at Heathrow
These week cumulatively make it practically impossible for the UK to meet is Paris Agreement targets.
It will simultaneously likely have:
1. Cut the budget for national insulation/Warm Homes campaign to fund increased defence spending;
2. Slashed the UK's contribution to the UN's Green Climate Fund by 45%, reversing funding pledge made by Rishi Sunak (already happened).
We just had a summer of extreme heat and wildfires; next year is likely to be worse.
This is a war on the environment, waged because Labour simply refuses to tax and redistribute wealth, and is wedded to a totally broken and outdated concept of national rather than human security.
Madness.
NEW: Government is expected to approve the Jackdaw gas field tomorrow, per three sources
Announcement is expected early in the morning

Healey listened to the extreme wealth lobbyists again
theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…
Anyone else sick of the same right wing think tanks and lobbyists for extreme wealth laundering the same headlines through papers that are, coincidentally, also owned by millionaires
This budget could be the start of a revival of public services, local government, civic life – or it could entrench austerity and prop up inequality. Join us to demand taxes on the rich, investment in people, and a liveable planet!
ALT Join us 6PM, 27 October at Victoria Embankment to march against austerity before the budget!
There has been intense debate about Zionism, Jewish identity and antisemitism. Much of it has been conducted in good faith, but some has deepened division at a time when our communities need solidarity, understanding and reassurance.

The first 100 days of Lambeth's first-ever Green council have seen change: bringing empty council homes back into use, auditing council finances, standing with Buy Back Brixton and with trans and migrant residents. Local gov can do a lot! It could do more if it was funded enough.
That's why the Green group on the council have launched "Services Worth Fighting For": an attempt to bring together grassroots organisations to campaign for proper funding of local government
