John,

This morning energy regulator Ofgem announced a new price cap of £3,549, and with summer coming to an end we know that we are facing a difficult winter. Scroll to find out how the Green Party is standing up for people and planet and how you can get involved 🔽

In response to the new energy price cap Carla Denyer communicated our reaction saying 'The way forward is clear - a nationwide home insulation scheme and large scale investment in renewable energy'. 

Writing in the Guardian, Caroline Lucas warned that the privatised water system is compounding the climate emergency instead of helping to fix it.

Writing for Left Foot Forward in the wake of the heatwaves and drought, deputy leader Amelia Womack warned: 'With the climate crisis at our door, the Tories are fiddling while the earth burns.'

The Green Party called for the nationalisation of the five big energy companies.

Co-leader Carla Denyer wrote in the New Statesman about why this is the only way to keep costs down and protect the planet.

Ready for Action? Don’t miss out! Hundreds of people have already signed up for our massive National Action Weekend on September 10/11th - make sure you’re one of them. Just days after the new Tory Prime Minister is announced, we’re taking to the streets in some of our top-priority constituencies, to get ready to win our next Green MPs.

At our biggest ever National Action Weekend, there’ll be a warm welcome, training and inspiration to take back to your local party, great social events and the opportunity to get the word out to voters about our amazing Green candidates – ready for the General Election. We’ve added a brand new Burnley event in the North West. And if you head to Suffolk, you can round off your weekend at an amazing comedy event too.
