At the right time and how much money is being paid to one of those special advisers, Sue Gray. It is not the backdrop that would have been wanted for this conference. Mi that would have been wanted for this conference. This conference. All of the questions. This conference. All of the questions, the this conference. All of the questions, the criticism i this conference. All of the i questions, the Criticism And Concern over freebies and donations, and ministers in the Tv Studios and newspapers, and the first couple of days of the conference itself, having to field questions about that, questions about hospitality and gifts and donations, and as you say, there have been those briefings about Sue Gray the chief of staff to the Prime Minister, about her salary, and both supporters and detractors of Sue Gray have had a bit of a row at the top of number ten playing out in public, so i think the parties have been keen to grab the narrative and put it firmly back on the turf they want to be t
Was also a Country where because of that contribution, that vital, life affirming work, she could walk into any room and instantly command the same respect as the Prime Minister must you not because those are my values, that is what i believe and those are the values of the britain that we will build. What will people get to show for it . They will get a Country Thatis for it . They will get a Country that is future abound, with new found respect for service, with the balance towards the interests of Working People, confident in its values and stories, because together, we took action. Millions with your better off, notjust being told that they are better off by politicians, going to the supermarket without a calculator because the nations numbers now add up, more money in their pocket to do the things they love, more faith in their public services because, once again, labour rebuilt them, and nhs facing the future, more Security And Dignity at work. Town centre is thriving, streets sa
Particular. Labour focus some changes to planning in particular. Labourfocus on it because they think there are blockages in the system. Too much time taken to make decisions which are holding the whole thing up. Theyve been clear they want to change the Planning System to overcome some of those blockages. They have reintroduced mandatory House Building targets. Local authorities will have a target for the homes they need to get built and will have to meet it. That was scrapped under the last government. While there is an accepted about when and where and how it is built might not be popular with local communities, so it has been in focus. I think we will hear Angela Rayner talk about that today, not just increasing the number of houses built overall, but she has also made a point of saying she wants more social and affordable housing as well, and another element of her speech we were expecting today is going to Focus On Standards in housing. We have seen the reports that have come to
Applause there isjust no applause there is just no justification for it. It will result in nearly 500 Million barrels of oil being burnt. It is another example of labours of session with growth at any cost. Applause they really are becoming the party that knows the price of everything but the value of nothing. Applause the Climate Science is clear. There must be no new oil and gas. This is non negotiable and you can be sure that as a green mp, iwill you can be sure that as a green mp, i will do everything i can to fight for a safe climate. And greens know that some things in life are not only priceless but irreplaceable. Later this year, the international climate conference, cup 29, will take place. Cop29 will take place. Cop29 will take place. We do not know if the Prime Minster will go in person but he shouldnt we have depressed people to have this on the Radar And Push for the global action that reflects the Climate Science. Since climate has reached the point where it is notjust on
With his Co Leader but he will be delivering a speech on his own because she has covid symptoms. The Green Party looking to position themselves as a challenge the Labour Government from the left so i think we can expect them to say that labour should be bolder and braver in their words more ambitious. And criticise what they say is labour s doom and gloom. We had from Keir Starmer a few weeks ago saying things will get worse before they get better. The argument from the Green Party in manchester is that this is not necessarily the case and are not calling for a Wealth Tax on the very wealthiest. They are saying that by those measures, more investment could be made immediately in public services. I think we can also expect criticism of the Winter Fuel Allowance cut and also to the two child benefit cap. Those are the kind of organs are expecting to hear the next few minutes as the conference for the Green Party gets under way. What difference does it make having four mps, what differen
