📈 Who would have thought it? When you make #PublicTransport cheaper, people use it.
🎫 This is the type of policy we need in the UK.
🚉 But if we want to get more people onto trains and buses we need to expand services to make them more convenient.

🤯 The Conservatives continue to oppose onshore wind.
🥀 The Labour Party have backtracked on their 'Green Prosperity Plan'.
💚 Only the Green Party's common-sense policies are up to tackling the climate and cost of living crises by bringing down bills AND carbon emissions.

🔥 BP are investing 11 times more in oil & gas than "low carbon" energy.
🤑 Meanwhile, their shareholder payouts totalled £2.5 billion and the Government are turning a blind eye.
💚 The Green Party would ensure energy retailers & the national grid are run for people, not profit

Inflation is lower in Spain because govt stood up for people instead of relying on interest rates
Capped energy prices more, lowered cost of public transport, taxed excess profits, introduced rent caps
Exactly the policies @TheGreenParty proposed for UK

Good to see that pressure from campaigners has led to this meeting with supermarkets. Now we need action. Quite simply, companies must take responsibility for the pollution their activities cause. #SaveTheWye https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-66226230

We could have built 3 million more council homes - but instead all the benefits have gone to private landlords.
The UK housing system is broken.
🏡 We need a national social housing programme to reverse the decades of damage.

Public sector pay is not a key cause of inflation.
People who work their socks off for public benefit should have pay that keeps pace with inflation.
Let’s pay people fairly, &amp; tackle the real drivers of inflation like excess oil company profits. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jul/18/sector-pay-rises-10-per-cent-add-little-to-inflation-uk-thinktank-ippr-rishi-sunak?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Greens gaining more seats than any party since May - and are the only party to have made net gains.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: nowhere near enough attention is paid to the Green revolution happening in town and city halls across the country.
