We need to scrap SATs!
Primary assessments are making kids sick with worry, stressing out parents and causing active harm, particularly to SEND pupils.
Govt must listen and rethink these counterproductive tests.

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.
Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.
This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

What would the Green Party do at the Budget?
💡 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering
🚰 Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands
🏠 Give councils the power to control rents
🚸 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all
Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

One of the many Green Party policies I feel really strongly about. So much of our school system is a waste of childhood.
Reminder: it is the policy of @greenparty.org.uk that formal schooling start two years later, when children are ready.

The severe threat the climate crisis poses to national security is laid out in a new Joint Intelligence Committee report - though we can't read it, because the govt has reportedly blocked its publication.
I pressed the minister on when we can expect it to be released... and he dodged the question.
