Hannah Spencer:
"The Green party is clear: ordinary people should not pay for this crisis (US/Israel war on Iran). The government should guarantee right now that it will not allow energy bills to rise beyond the April-June price cap, and every single pound of reckless profiteering by energy companies must be repurposed to this end."

What I learned from my first few weeks as a Green MP? Most politicians have no clue how tough things are out there

With this escalating cost of living crisis, so many are really suffering – yet Labour lacks the imagination, boldness and will to do anything about it, says Green party MP Hannah Spencer

The most proactive act in this crisis, which is also an opportunity, is to aggressively pursue walkability and localizing farming and the kind of farming that uses regenerative processes that don’t require chemical inputs.

The world has to get smart because energy and the cost of raw materials used to process everything else in the economy are going to go up in cost and become far more scarce.

If you don’t rely on the global supply chain, you save a lot of money
