Thom Yorke: "Half the country support environmental issues yet we are not represented in Parliament"


At a benefit solo show for the Green Party on 25 February, Radiohead frontman and former Oxford resident, Thom Yorke explained why he supports the Green Party:

 

"I am sick of politicians not talking about green issues. What blows my mind is that half the country is supporting environmental issues yet we are not represented in Parliament."

 

The singer performed a mammoth 19 song set, accompanying himself on piano, keyboards, acoustic, electric and bass guitar. He included a number of Radiohead tracks as well as tunes from his 2006 debut album 'Eraser'.


The gig was performed in support of Tony Juniper, who is campaigning to become a Green MP, and had accompanied Yorke as he crashed the UN Climate Change Conference in December.

caroline_lucas_thumb.jpgGreen Party Leader, Caroline Lucas told the Party conference she was "going to throw caution to the winds... I'm going to talk about victory."

 

She said that victory in one or more seats would give the party an historic responsibility.

 

Green MPs would serve their constituency, "but also contribute to the renewal of politics and the building of a fairer and more sustainable future for us, and for the wider world."

Green Group Leader slams Labour/LibDems "dog's dinner" budget

craig_1.jpgAt the annual City Council budget meeting, the ruling Labour group has settled for a weak compromise with the LibDems.

Green Group leader Craig Simmons described the resulting budget as a "dog's dinner", which left out not only many good ideas from the Greens' budget proposal, but also many of the best ideas in the original Labour and LibDem budgets.

Even the Deputy Leader of the Labour group described the Greens' budget as workable, but said it was "too green" for the Labour group to consider!
