💼 Tommorrow is Budget day.

The Green Party would: ⬇️

💡 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering

🚰 Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands

🏠 Let councils control rents

🚸 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all

🤑 Tax billionaires
At the Budget, the Green Party's message is clear: Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

The Spectator are confused.

It's not going to be cost free.

Billionaires are going to pay more.

Labor productivity has more than doubled since the late 1960s. But workers’ compensation has barely budged.

Yes. The economy is rigged in favor of the wealthy.

We've had a ridiculous amount of emails and messages asking for this and it has to be said: you were right.

This is almost definitely the best episode of any politics podcast ever.

And it's the longest episode we've done too, obviously. See you Wednesday for Zack & Gary.

The civil liberties argument against giving the state more power over our lives becomes more urgent by the day – just look to Trump’s America, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

I firmly oppose the government’s plans for compulsory digital ID cards.

This is an affront to our civil liberties, and will make the lives of minorities even more difficult and dangerous.

It is excessive state interference — and must be resisted.

Labour’s plan for compulsory digital ID risks creating a more authoritarian state.

Under constant surveillance, we would have to pass through digital checkpoints just to live our daily lives — with even more barriers for minorities, migrants and the digitally excluded.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Labour could have made the case for a humane immigration system that treats refugees with dignity and respect.

Instead, they have fanned the flames of racism and emboldened the far-right.

Labour Is Paving the Path to Fascism
As Labour embraces anti-migrant rhetoric, Jeremy Corbyn argues that the government is demonising vulnerable people to distract from its domestic failures.

Yesterday, I published an article about yourparty.uk

I want to issue a public correction and a sincere apology for an error.

In that article, I said 500,000 people had signed up. That was incorrect.

It is now 600,000 — and counting.

Real change is coming.
