Policies

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

After fifteen long, bloody months there is a temporary cessation of violence in Gaza.

This is welcome, but it is not the permanent and unconditional ceasefire millions across the world have marched and protested to achieve.

Twice Netanyahu almost derailed even this fragile pause, an agreement which is the same in almost every detail as one first drawn up in May. It was the failure of former President Biden and his allies such as Keir Starmer that allowed the genocide to continue, killing and maiming many thousands of Palestinians.

The international solidarity movement, met with an authoritarian crackdown by the police at the weekend, must continue its divestment and boycott campaigns and maintain the pressure for a lasting ceasefire and a peace process that leads to justice for the Palestinian people, their right to their own state and an end to the occupation.
