When asked at deputy leader hustings tonight to name a union figure who inspired me, I chose Emmeline Pankhurst.

I said any of us who truly believed in workers rights to collective action should have been horrified at scenes of intimidation against women at Manchester statue.

I'd expect Greens in public position to call out such behaviour not remain quiet.

If you think party failing to speak truth & justice on women's rights you can elect a deputy to redress that lack - in keeping with our deep green values for freedom of protest & equality for all.

In 1903 Pankhurst founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women suffrage advocacy organisation dedicated to

Deeds, not words.

A far better economic reality check would have us limit our carbon consumption by an annual carbon budget that matches what science would allow.

I'm bringing a carbon allowance policy to next party conference for debate & approval.
