What do I offer?
Long-term thinking and progressive leadership
"I will represent the party on the national stage, pushing progressive policies backed by facts and common sense to help us deal with the challenges of today, tomorrow and forever after. We need long-term leadership and thinking, not short-term personal interest."
About Thomas:
I'm standing for Deputy Leader because The Green Party needs a leadership team that can seize this political moment. Working-class communities, particularly young people, face impossible choices: unaffordable housing, crumbling infrastructure, and a poisoned countryside. The system is failing us all.
Under Keir Starmer, Labour has abandoned progressive politics, creating a vacuum that Reform UK is exploiting with divisive rhetoric. While Farage blames immigrants for problems created by the wealthy elite, Labour’s offering no meaningful alternative.
Millions are now in poverty, and living standards are plummeting at speed. The two child benefit cap, a policy that negatively affected my own family, is putting thousands of children into poverty, while winter fuel cuts have put the lives of pensioners at risk.
Even the Conservatives have said they believe maternity pay is excessive. It becomes more clear: The Green Party is the only party of family values.
The Green Party has the vision people are desperate for - a sustainable economy, climate action, and better living standards. But we need leadership willing to make our case with clarity and charisma.
With me as Deputy Leader, our message resonates in all communities by shouting about our economic policies that address both climate and inequality crises and challenging both Reform's hateful scapegoating and Labour's empty promises.
Our party is ready for national leadership, but only if we're bold enough to claim it. I will help The Green Party become the true home for voters abandoned by the political establishment.
