John,
Since becoming leader in September, I’ve lost count of the number of people who've told me they've just joined the Greens because, for the first time in years, it feels like politics is shifting. They are right.
Over the past few months, our movement has grown faster than anyone expected. Our membership has tripled to over 180,000. Our polling has held at record levels. Media attention is coming thick and fast. Commentators who once treated us as an afterthought are suddenly treating us as a force they have to reckon with. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens when people decide they're done with a politics that is stuck and unambitious.
Most of our members have joined in the last three months, and if you are one of them, welcome. You’ve stepped into a movement that’s already reshaping the political landscape. And to the many members who have been with us for years, thank you for the commitment and the patience that helped build the foundations for this moment. Our momentum rests on your work as much as on our recent growth.
Across the country, Greens have been pulling the debate back to what matters. In Parliament, our MPs and Peers have pushed forward ideas others tried to ignore. Fairer taxation. Real investment in public services. Clean air and safe streets for every community. An economy that values people rather than chasing abstract numbers. Our dedicated and hardworking Green Councillors have turned those principles into practical action in more Councils than ever before, and Green campaigners in every community are bringing people into the conversation by delivering leaflets and speaking with voters on doorsteps.
John, your membership, your donations, your voice, and your belief in this movement power all of it. Every action, large or small, strengthens our ability to win arguments, shift priorities, and deliver real change.
I hope, as we look back on this year, you can see your role in it. You are part of a growing, confident movement that is proving hope can beat cynicism, and that the old parties are right to feel the ground shifting beneath them.
We're only just getting started. |
