Look out for Labour politicians claiming motion sickness medication on expenses.
To be honest, the number of U-turns Keir Starmer has done in recent months is making us all feel a bit sick.

The PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law.

After years of arming a genocide and worshipping the β€œspecial relationship”, Trump now believes he can act with impunity.

2026 - Let’s make hope normal again.

A new kind of politics doesn’t just come from new politicians.

Make this the year you get involved.

β€œTackling inequality is our core goal, because that is the best way to redress the power imbalance in our economy. The reason why people are feeling ripped-off right now is because their money is disappearing into the pockets of the super-wealthy.

β€œIt is a political choice to keep children in poverty whilst billionaires and multi-millionaires get richer. That’s a fact, and any politician who says otherwise doesn’t have the public’s interests at heart."

Our street surgeries are as popular today as when we started them six years ago.
People say how they are glad that they have Green Party councillors that look after them, listen and respond to their concerns.

The London economic. Three-quarters of Brits support Green Party’s wealth tax, survey finds. YouGov

75% of Brits said they would support a wealth tax of 1% on assets above Β£10m and 2% on assets above Β£1bn. This is the exact same wealth tax as that proposed by Zack Polanski’s Green Party, who themselves are enjoying a surge in the polls.

Our #NHS should be publicly owned, publicly run, and delivered to maximise public benefit, and that would be cheapest for the government to deliver too!

The Green Party of England and Wales would save money on the NHS by bringing services back in-house, so all but the most specialist services are delivered by the NHS itself, eliminating private profits.

Coupled with the recent decision to axe Healthwatch - a body to ensure the patient voice is heard - this risks allowing a dangerous reduction in checks and balances on providers of NHS services! We're horrified that a Labour government would require such changes.

It was pointed out that NENC had made savings previously, by sharing services across their wider area, so we don't have to make as big cuts here.

But these cuts can only mean services will be less responsive to local needs.

North East & North Cumbria (NENC) ICB replied that they aim to reduce duplication in quality assurance (so private providers could be marking their own homework!), and they'd aim to retain as much capacity as possible. This did not allay Bryony's concerns!

On Thursday, Darlington's Health & Housing Scrutiny Committee were briefed about the government-required changes to Integrated Care Boards (ICB). These are the bodies which commission NHS care from (generally private) providers.

Cllr Bryony Holroyd, Shadow Cabinet member for Health & Housing questions how these cuts would impact on quality & oversight of contracts, and the ability of ICBs to engage with local partners such as councils, the voluntary and community sector.
