Ukip needs to be part of a broad alliance campaigning for Britain to exit the European Union rather than acting alone, Suzanne Evans, the party’s deputy chairman, has said. Asked whether Nigel Farage and Ukip should be the figureheads of the no campaign, Evans said the party should join a coalition of people from all parties. “I think it’s got to be a wider alliance,” she said. “As brilliant as we are, we only polled 14% across the country. We need 51% to win an out vote in an EU referendum.

In a surprise forecast, the Dutch Labor Party of European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans became the country’s biggest party in the 751-seat European Parliament, according to an Ipsos exit poll. “What an unbelievable exit poll!” Labor leader Lodewijk Asscher told a gathering of cheering party faithful. The poll was published by Dutch national broadcaster NOS after polling stations closed Thursday evening in Netherlands.

Tackling the climate emergency forms the centrepiece of the Green party’s appeal to voters, with an eye-catching proposal to spend £100bn a year – more than any other party – on a transformation of the economy to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030. Policies on housing, transport, industry and the economy all flow from this central premise: that failing to see off the climate crisis would spell disaster, while tackling the challenge correctly can revitalise both the economy and the social fabric of the country. Environment The proposed Green New Deal would require close to £1tn in government borrowing over the next decade, during which time the UK would be transformed to a net zero carbon economy. Renewable energy would be expanded to produce most of the country’s power, with wind alone producing 70% of electricity by 2030. New support for solar, geothermal, tidal, hydro and other renewable sources would provide most of the rest, while subsidies to … [Read more...] about Green party makes £100bn-a-year net zero carbon pledge to voters
