The Green Party’s annual conference has moved into its second day in Brighton, with delegates focusing heavily on the ongoing cost of living crisis. This comes as the Conservative Party prepares to launch its own conference proceedings on Sunday.
Earlier, party leader Zach Polanski delivered a keynote address in which he unveiled a significant new policy proposal: a ‘three-year emergency brake on private rents.’ The measure is designed to provide immediate relief to tenants facing soaring housing costs.
Deputy leaders are now scheduled to address party members later today. A live stream of their remarks will be available for those following the developments online.
Interesting timing ahead of the Tories’ conference. Let’s see if this policy gains traction or if it remains just a talking point.
Finally, a concrete proposal to tackle the rental crisis. Three years is a start, but we need stronger tenant protections long-term.
