Green has been pushing to the left, but ultimately remains a neo-liberal organisation, its policies at odds with many of its high-ranking members.

Awkward for Adrian... Landlord MP's party votes to abolish LANDLORDS
The Green Party has made it party policy to "abolish landlords" - even though one of its MPs rents out a home in Norfolk.

First we had the sacking of Ali, minister for homelessness and now Rayner, minister for housing, both caught with their hands jammed in the front door. Now we find that at least a third of the cabinet are landlords and derive much of their income from this activity.

By obsessing over a ‘market-led solution’, for our failed water sector, the government continues to green light the polluters and profiteers.
Result = more rip-off bills and no investment.
If you think Thames Water should be publicly owned, take 1 minute to email your MP today 👇🏼
