π₯³ I'm excited and delighted to be joining Gareth Dennis on #Railnatter podcast tonight. π¬ We'll be discussing the origins of Greens for HS2 campaign and our motion finally being debated and passing in Manchester. πWatch here from 8pm BST! youtube.com/@GarethDennisTV

I joined Greens for HS2 3 years ago and I could never have guessed then how involved I'd become or how many incredible The Green Party members I'd meet from all over the country. I'm really proud of the role that I've played in changing our rail policy, and of the entire team.


Well Greens for HS2 got things done and changed The Green Party's rail policy into something rational - and this week we are delighted to be joined by key activist and campaigner Emma Garnett to tell us how they did it! ππ¨ TONIGHT, 8pm: youtube.com/live/xEJFe1jw6β¦


Worth saying, I absolutely share Andy Burnham's desire to see capacity relief on the WCML and in central Manchester. I just think the political call to let others weave engineering myths into a "we can do this cheaper" narrative is the wrong one.


Here are some ideas to battle the Greens! π· Introduce a wealth tax π¨βπ©βπ¦βπ¦ Scrap the 2 child cap π Pass the Climate and Nature Bill π’ No new fossil fuels π Properly fund local councils π Invest in public and active transport π Build HS2 in full and talk to @Labour4HS2


This is why The Green Party supports connecting #HS2 to Euston. π We simply cannot tackle climate change while our railways are full to bursting. How disabled passengers navigate this crowd is beyond us. Itβs unacceptable. HS2 cannot come soon enough. #EustonWeHaveAProblem







Dear Keir Starmer Phase 2 of HS2 is the cheap bit which has very significant returns economically. Why is this so hard for London based treasury to understand?
