Parkin urged to stay away
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SARA Parkin, a former leader of the Green Party, was yesterday urged to stay away from the party's annual conference.
Mrs Parkin, who resigned as a Green national spokesperson last month claiming in-fighting was damaging the party's cause, is due to address the conference in Wolverhampton today.
Her resignation was followed by the decision of Jonathon Porrit, the former Friends of the Earth campaigner, to stop taking an active role in the party, saying he was disillusioned.
Mrs Parkin is due to speak on the subject of world debt, but today 'No Parkin' stickers appeared in the conference hall.
Radical Greens, angry that she described the party as a 'liability', want her to sever all links.
The Greens failed to make an impact in the general election. All candidates lost their deposits in 254 seats contested, receiving on average 1.3 per cent of the vote.
