polanski is just holding starmer to the same standards starmer held sunak to. i can't understand why labour thought they'd get a different set of rules.

Polanksi says cost of living crisis totally avoidableโ€™ and due to
government decisions, as he sets out Greens' plan to tackle it
Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, has said that the cost of living crisis is
โ€œtotally avoidableโ€ and down to decisions made by governments.
Highlighting figures which he said illustrated the โ€œnormalisationโ€ of food
back use, Polanski said:

44 The affordability crisis is something affecting nearly everyone, from the most
vulnerable to people in work and comfortable, where any change in
circumstance can push people over the edge into requiring a food bank.

This crisis is totally avoidable and down to choices made by this Labour
government and previous Tory governments.

The Greens have a plan which would make different choices, taking on
corporate power and vested interests to give ordinary people a way out of this
crisis.

The Greens highlighted five measures that they said they would use to deal
with the affordability crisis. They are:

44 -universal support with energy bills this winter

the extension of free school meals to all primary and secondary pupils

-the introduction of rent controls - because housing costs are one of the greatest
impacts on household poverty

-the UK to join a customs union with the EU to reduce costs to businesses

-the introduction of a 10:1 pay ratio which would help increase wages for those
on lower incomes while limiting the salaries of high-paid executives.

Image of letter sent to Prime Minister Keir Starmer by the Green MPs and Peers.

Letter begins:

Dear Prime Minister, 

We are writing as Green Party MPs and Peers to express our alarm at the UKโ€™s involvement in the illegal US-Israeli war on Iran. 

Already well over 1,000 civilians have been killed, including a reported 168 children killed by a missile now widely believed to be from the United States (Guardian, 2026). UNICEF has reported that the Israeli military's assault on Lebanon is killing or injuring the equivalent of one classroom of children every day (Reuters, 2026).

In addition to the grave humanitarian impacts, the longer this illegal, unnecessary war continues, the greater the global economic fallout โ€“ to which the UK is particularly exposed because it remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels.

The Green MPs and Peers have written to Keir Starmer to urge for an end to the UK's involvement in the US and Israel's illegal war.

Under international law, the UK is obliged to have no involvement in illegal military action, including the use of UK bases and UK-made weapons.
