Democracy is vital to who we are as a Party. Transform policy is developed by way of a democratic process involving our full membership.

At our Conference in October 2024 we agreed new policies on Climate and on Inequality & Poverty.

Climate policies
A fully nationalised system of producing and providing cheap, green energy to
consumers:
• A Transform government will nationalise the major energy producers and retailers, as
well as the National Grid.
• Nationalised energy producers and suppliers will invest in green energy, with the aim
of providing affordable energy for all consumers.
• Nationalised energy companies will be subject to democratic oversight and control, at
the local and national level.
• Given that £23 billion was paid to shareholders of Britain’s privately-owned energy
markets between 2010 and 2020, cutting out these profits will give nationalised
companies leeway to invest in cheap, green energy.

Public transport:
● A Transform government will renationalise and invest in rail and bus networks, to
provide transport free at the point of use for all. This will help to reduce the
environmental impact of cars.
● Electrifying bus and rail services will be a priority for nationalised networks.
• Improving accessibility for public transport will be national priority, but a Transform
government will also support whichever form of transport is most accessible for
people with disabilities, including cars and mini-buses.

Nationalising water services:
A Transform government will renationalise water companies, and redirect profits to clean
up Britain’s polluted rivers and to fix its broken sewage system.

Inequality & poverty

Price controls:
A Transform government will introduce price controls on essential consumer goods, to
make them affordable for all.

Austerity and welfare:

Labour’s new austerity threatens to crush workers livelihoods after years of hardship.

Transform will reverse welfare cuts and scrap the two-child benefit cap, using cash
raised from wealth taxes.
A Transform government will also introduce a Universal Basic Income, to provide a
reliable social safety net for all.
A Transform government will change disability assessments to prioritise the needs and
wellbeing of people with disabilities, instead of looking for excuses to cut their
benefits.

Pensions and winter fuel payments:
A Transform government will raise pensions to help with rising energy prices.
A Transform government will also expand winter fuel payments to cover everyone who
struggles to pay their energy bills.

Public sector pay:
Transform will back an above-inflation pay rise for public sector workers, to make up for
16 years of real-terms pay cuts.

GAZA

In the sixth largest economy, nobody should be left struggling for food, housing, or basic needs. Here’s how we will make things fairer:

– Lower energy bills by nationalising the Grid.

– Cooperatively-owned renewable energy.

– Cap rents, and build social housing.

– A tax on wealth, not work. We want to tax assets, capital gains, and corporations.

14 years of austerity have left public services absolutely decimated. MPs have managed to get pay rises, but health and social staff haven’t. It’s a disgrace that our most vital key workers are being treated so poorly. We all deserve better:

– Tax wealth and fund the NHS properly.

– No profit from sickness! Fully nationalise every part of health and social care sectors.

– Create a national pharmaceutical company.

– Massive public sector pay increase.

We’re seeing politicians blatantly representing private interests instead of serving the public. From the billions that went “missing” during COVID, the refusal of parliament to stop private companies dumping sewage, and the complicity of Westminster during a genocide, we have to ask: who are they really serving? We want to bring government back under public control:

– Prosecute those who profit from polluting.

– Bring water companies into public ownership.

– Tighten up regulations around conflicts of interests.

– Support the ICC’s investigation into war crimes.
