Green Party councillor for Elswick
Term started: 7 May 2026
The devastating effects of climate change, uncontrolled automation, air and water pollution, and human rights abuses are properly addressed and understood only by the Green Party. Green Party policies on the urgent transition to renewable and sustainable energy, on a Universal Basic Income, on key resources like housing, transport, and waste, as well as economic re-adjustment away from mindless growth, are the only viable direction for Britain to take at this crucial time. Oh, and there is dealing with Brexit too.
