Zack Polanski is right. Britain doesn't need another leader who manages the status quo—it needs one willing to tackle rip-off Britain, tax extreme wealth fairly, and stop putting vested interests ahead of ordinary people.

Looks like a wealth tax is an ace with the Great British public - as Brighty Buoy found out at Wimbledon. Do you support a 2% tax on wealth over £10m?

We are concerned at the proposals to close the much loved High Borrans Outdoor Education Centre. In a growing climate and nature crisis, all children need an understanding and connection to the outdoors and to our National Parks. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If any of you are in the South Lakes that weekend, come up and say hello (and buy a delicious homemade cake)

Come and meet us! Our next social's a busy one. A talk proposing ecocide be a crime, our 60 sec survey results and the next step in our campaign and how to get involved. 📆Tue 14 July 🕖7 – 9 pm 📍Waste into Wellbeing People’s Cafe, Edington Centre,

Happy 80th birthday to the Brathay Trust in Ambleside. A wonderful charity, inspiring young people with outdoor learning in the outdoor playground of the Lake District. Everyone's invited to the birthday party on 26 September: www.trybooking.com/uk/events/la...

We’re calling for a wealth tax that would only apply to people who have above £10 million in net assets. That means around 99.6% of people wouldn’t pay a penny more. So louder for those at the back. A wealth tax targets the super-rich who've been able to opt-out for too long.

The next Local Plan for Westmorland and Furness is open for consultation. Local Plans set the strategy for future developments, where they will be and how they'll be built, as well as green space protection. Give your views below: www.westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk/localplan

The super-rich aren't getting wealthier because they're working harder. They're getting richer because they get their income from the assets they own. Worse yet, they pay a lower rate of tax on that income than who get their incomes from going out to work for a living.

Today we've launched our new Homes for Greater Manchester plan. Green Mayoral candidate Geraldine Coggins pledges to deliver 20,000 genuinely affordable homes within 10 years, end Labour's developer rip off, and put the people before profit. Vote Green for affordable housing 🏠️

Fancy some ‘crushing wins’ across Cumbria? Join us! People powered campaigning is already underway for May 2027 💚

"This is the least extreme climate you will live in" - Prof Hayley Fowler at the @nebriefing.bsky.social If you're feeling the heat this week, just think what summers will be like in 5, 10, 15 years time in #Kendal #Ambleside #Windermere We need to adapt. We need to stop burning fossil fuels.

Our polluted waters, including Windermere, are still at the mercy of private water companies who state they need to benefit shareholders. The Green Party calls for nationalised water - to benefit people and our environment only.

Good news for Windermere, our Cumbria communities and our visitors as "United Utilities has said for the first time that it will ensure that only rainwater enters the lake". But the cost will likely come from bill payers, not from United Utilities shareholders. www.europesays.com/uk/1026598/

What would the Green Party do to help with the cost of living given the crisis caused by the war in Iran? Here's what I told Radio 4's Today Programme:

Why aren't we posting about local election candidates for this May? Because Cumbria's local elections are in May 2027! Local gov reorganisation created Westmorland & Furness Council and Cumberland Council in April 2023. Elections for these councils and a new Cumbria Mayor will be in May 2027.

Oh. Hello.

Ambleside! Come and meet your local greens, see what we’re up to and how you can get involved. Thu 16 April 7-9pm Golden Rule pub. #Ambleside #Cumbria

Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

You don't need to be a perfect green to make a difference. Organising with others is the way to bring about change, not recycling that one soya yoghurt pot. Real hope, real change. Come and meet people just like you. 13 April, Edington Centre, Kendal, 7pm. Bring your own drinks, snacks and Qs!
