This week Andrew and Lucy are joined by Chris Saltmarsh( @Chris_Saltmarsh), CEC candiate for Yorkshire in Your Party.

Chris was one of the original founders of Labour for a Green New Deal and in someways responsible for this podcast even existing. If that isn't worth a vote I don't know what is....

Andrew, Lucy and Chris discuss how Chris's view of climate politics has changed since the heady days of 2019 and the founding of Labour for a GND, why eco-socialists should be in Your Party over the Greens, what Eco-socialist Horizon wants to do in Your Party and why Chris should be on Your Partys CEC.

The Green Party of England and Wales has emerged as a contender for national power since Zack Polanski took over the leadership back in August. He talks the good talk about being an eco-populist and certainly knows how to get a message to people in a fractured media world. But surely he can't do it all by himself? Who else is burning the torch for eco-socialism in the greens?

This week Ads and Andrew are joined by Steve Jackson, a co-founder of Greens Organise. They discuss why Steve setup this group in the Green Party to drive the it leftward, what is the political culture of the greens and how it differs from the Labour Party and we discuss how the Greens can reach out to working class neighbourhoods who Reform are trying to court.

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas, we shall see you next year.

Andrew and Lucy are joined by Dr Gareth Fearn to discuss the climate impacts of Rachel Reeves budget announcements last week.

Why can’t this government put forward a positive vision of the country? Are energy bills actually going to come down by £150? why the changes to the motorbility scheme are BS.
