Jenny’s priorities:

Civil liberties

Government, the police and intelligence services are too easily given sweeping powers that they too often abuse. Jenny works with campaigners to defend our civil liberties

Climate change

We need a new era of fossil free politics. Our pension funds should divest from fossil fuels, our ministers should reject the advances of fossil fuel lobbyists and our councils and mayors should be supported to transition to a zero carbon economy. Jenny works with campaigners and industry to promote a more radical policy agenda on climate change

Ecology and animal protection

People need wild spaces and green spaces and other species need them too. Sharing our world with other species is part of the joy of being alive, when we cage and abuse them, or destroy their habitat, we demean ourselves in the process. Jenny works to tackle pollution, increase green spaces and protect animals and wild space

Reform of the Lords and Proportional Representation

An unelected chamber has no place in a modern democracy, reform of the House of Lords is long overdue. Immediately after being introduced in the Lords she began to use her position to fight for its replacement with a fully elected chamber. She has promoted a Bill that would give the Lords the chance to develop their own reforms

National insecurity

The money we are spending on weapons would be better spent on almost anything else – no civilised state should sell weapons and all civilised states should be working to avoid war, not enable it. Jenny has worked with Caroline Lucas MP, lawyers and campaigners to scrutinise political assassinations by drones, to oppose the sale of arms and to argue against the renewal of the Trident nuclear missile
