Earlier this month, after five years of record extreme weather events, more than 400 scientists signed a public letter to party leaders appealing for them to adopt urgent and radical policies to protect the environment.

Some people think that the forthcoming election will see a Green boom.

The Greens have been characteristically vocal about climate issues, arguing for a range of decarbonisation and insulation measures, as well as a reorganisation of the economy and a £13bn investment in public transport.

But the Green Party's standout policies are not all about the climate. Their left-learning policies look set to capture the hearts of former Labour voters who oppose Keir Starmer's centrist approach.

In the headlines. Nationalisation of the organisations that run our railways and water companies.

Economy. Higher benefits, more money for the NHS and higher taxes for the wealthy.

Education. Scrap university tuition fees altogether and boost school funding by £8bn.

Immigration. To remove all barriers to asylum seekers wanting to enter the UK.

Health and social care. An additional £30bn per year for the NHS, and a £20bn per year commitment to social care.

Society. A four-day working week, as well as a substantial hike in the minimum wage, to £15 an hour.

As always, the Greens' ambitions are expected to be held back by the first-past-the-post voting system: they are likely to win just two seats.

But some people think that by threatening to divide the progressive vote, the Greens could be well-placed to put pressure on Labour to listen to the concerns of those on the left of the party.

Do you agree?

Yes! A vote for the Green party is not only a vote for a healthier climate, but for a fairer society. Our public services are underfunded, the energy crisis is crippling household spending, our education system is in decline and every sees a worsening of the climate catastrophe.

No! The Green party is the best party for policies on the climate, but we should not trust their judgement on the economy, education or social care.
