  • Masks Must Remain Mandatory to Keep Public Safe, Says Green Party
    Greens express profound disappointment over Labour Party failure to support fair voting system 27 September 2021 The Green Party has criticised the Labour leadership for failing to ensure the party backed a vote to support proportional representation at its conference today [Monday 27 September]. [1] Labour conference defeated the motion after it was sent to a card vote. This came after 150 Constituency Labour Parties submitted motions on the topic and more than 83% of members previously said they support the idea. [2] Zack Polanski, Green Party spokesperson on Democracy and Citizen Engagement, said: “This is a really disappointing decision by the Labour Party which shows a real lack of leadership and vision from the top of the party. “Labour members overwhelmingly support electoral reform, yet Keir Starmer has done next to nothing to ensure that his party’s delegates voted through a motion which could have revolutionised British politics and put an end to the Tory stranglehold on our failed democratic system. “In the conference hall, speaker after speaker argued passionately for Labour to adopt proportional representation in its next manifesto, yet it still did not pass. Without proportional representation and electoral cooperation Labour has an impossible mountain to climb and the country faces another five years of chaos with the Conservatives. “It is clear that British voters want to move on from the failure and division caused by the two-party system, and so it is extremely worrying to see Labour fail to grasp the need for a more cooperative and collaborative form of politics which will benefit everyone.

  • London Assembly: Enfield & Haringey Constituency Green Party Internal Selection Candidate Statements Ronald Stewart
    London Assembly: Enfield & Haringey Constituency Green Party Internal Selection Candidate Statements Ronald Stewart The Greater London Assembly should represent Londoners. With the current Mayor of London representing the City of London above the interests of residents, it is important that Enfield and Haringey people continue to have a loud and effective Green voice. We must retain Green Party representatives to continue the great work of Assembly members Jenny Jones and Darren Johnson. As London Assembly candidate, I will work with Siân Berry, Caroline Russell and the other candidates to keep up awareness and pressure on Green Party issues, including the five key policies: Transport, Air Pollution, Climate Change, Fair Pay, and Housing. I will arrange citizen monitoring of air quality in key locations across Haringey. I will work to ensure that our councils, and the London Pensions Fund Authority, divest from their fossil fuel investments. I will campaign for the government's “living wage” to match the true London Living Wage of £9.15 per hour. I have worked as a local tutor for ten years, building confidence in maths, and I enjoy cycling around to visit students in places including Palmers Green, Muswell Hill, and Manor House. I will be using and supporting Enfield's Mini-Holland to make our city safer and more pleasant for all cyclists and potential cyclists. Being a member of Generation Rent, I've lived in six properties and in three London boroughs since 2005. This gives me a relevant perspective on housing pressures, with conditions getting considerably worse for private tenants and social tenants alike.

  • Waste: Energy from Waste
    Holding the Mayor to account and investigating issues that matter to Londoners Environment Committee Waste: Energy from Waste February 2018 EMBARGOED UNTIL THURSDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2018, 06.00AM Key findings • Despite efforts to cut waste and increase recycling, more than half of London’s waste ends up being incinerated. The amount of waste sent for incineration (known as “Energy from Waste”) has more than doubled in the last decade, reaching nearly two million tonnes in 2017. • Burning waste takes materials out of the circular economy, releases carbon into the atmosphere and may have negative health effects. • But it also generates electricity, can provide heat for local homes and businesses, and reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill. • Energy from waste technology (EfW) is here to stay, at least in the medium term. • But while London has the EfW capacity to meet demand, it currently exports approximately over half a million tonnes of waste for incineration a year. • London needs to become self-sufficient in managing the waste it generates, reducing waste sent to EfW as population grows. • The Mayor intends to regulate London’s energy from waste sector by This report completes the London Assembly Environment Committee’s limiting its carbon emissions and maximising the energy benefits it can investigation into waste management. Previous reports in 2017 generate. considered the circular economy and household recycling and all three • London must begin to limit not only the amount but also the type of topics will be launched as a final report in spring 2018, with waste it sends to EfW.
