Look today is as good a day as any to hope for better, then actually try and make things better. 1 step you could take is to join me in the Green Party, along with @zackpolanski.bsky.social we're making hope normal again. join.greenparty.org.uk

thank you Professor Goose

“Populism, as I see it, is the 99% versus the 1% — the working majority against a tiny elite that has taken our power and wealth.” Green Party Leader Zack Polanski speaks to CNN about hope, unity and taking on billionaire-backed politics.

People have tried to say that the Green surge is just on social media. Or in a bubble that's just about polls and just about new members. Yet up and down the country - Greens are also winning elections. Huge congratulations to the Canterbury Greens! 💚🎉 Join.greenparty.org.uk

The two-child benefit cap was a Conservative policy designed to push children into poverty. Labour have kept it in since. The Green Party has consistently called for it to be scrapped. If Labour now plans to end it, it should've never taken this long. #EndChildPoverty

45% of children aged 0-4 in Wales are growing up in poverty! Wales has the highest poverty rate of any nation in Western Europe. UK and Welsh governments should be ashamed of themselves. Myself and @walesgreenparty.bsky.social say lets bring in a wealth tax and end child poverty!

Please avoid anything news-adjacent this morning and look at these nice sheep, instead. You will be happier for it.

With all Green MPs, I voted to keep the vital nature protections in Lords Amendment 130 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill last night (now no.40 in our weird processes). The Govt is ignoring evidence and playing political games with our ecosystem. hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2025...

📊 Another week, another poll showing the Green Party in second place. 💪 We are holding Labour to account and taking the fight to Reform. ✅️ Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

No wonder we are one of the most nature-depleted corners of this battered planet, with #biodiversity is a terrible state

I talk about this all the time but the fact that the world has been built in a way to protect violent abusers has never been more glaringly obvious than the effort to protect the people in the Epstein Files.

Good on them for standing up for their principles, Southwark needs more Cllrs who care more about residents than the Labour Party, especially when it’s letting people down so badly!

James Dyson owns more UK land than the actual KING. But he pays an effective tax rate of LESS THAN 1%* on his total wealth. Here’s a novel idea @keirstarmer: to fund schools and hospitals, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES. 📍Station Lane, Bristol - near James Dyson’s £20m country estate Dodington Park

And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all. Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks. And every day we are growing. Join.greenparty.org.uk

A heartbreaking read. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/no...

🧵 1/4 I am delighted that we are so close to finally ending greyhound racing and putting a stop to a sport that has caused far too much pain and far too many premature deaths for dogs. Getting this bill over the line would be a milestone for animal welfare in Scotland, and would ensure that we are

If you think that “the slow vanishing of employee benefits” is a better trade politically than “the other lot saying you broke your promise on income tax”, you are out of your tree: www.ft.com/content/1160...

Am so glad that Labour have finally reached the humane viewpoint many of us held since the outset. Hopefully anyway.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

This is literally treated as radical, outside-the-bounds of normal political discourse. But Elon Musk gets $1,000,000,000,000. Enough to by every unhoused person in America a $1.3 million home. Enough to cover federal spending on school lunches for 57 years.

Billie Piper announced as the new BBC Director General but we've got to wait until next Christmas to find out why.

It’s ironic to resign over editing a bunch of lies to reflect the truth.

🤩

The Labour Party - and Steve Reed - is completely out of touch with reality. Landlords don't build homes; they drive up prices and suck away our wages. Housing should be a right, not a commodity. Abolish landlords. House everyone.

The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something? Wrote this on it earlier this week: inews.co.uk/news/world/b...

It's not every day that both poles set new monthly temperature records (see my earlier post). Last month also observed the warmest October on record for the #Arctic Circle. Not great!! Data provided by doi.org/10.24381/cds....

if shitposters have more of an insight about major political events with our so-called special ally, than members of the government, then perhaps you shouldn’t be… in… the… job.

49 not out.

X is designed to radicalise people. The algorithm promotes Elon Musk's agenda to promote racists and people who want violence bought - specifically - to the streets of Britain. Members of Parliament, major institutions and the media should not be there. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

I’d go so far as to say Marcus Rashford might be The Greatest Living Englishman… and I’m a Liverpool fan. Genuinely every time I think of how proud his mum but be of him, it makes my heart ache.

To be clear, what is being proposed here is to axe the main mechanism for getting Britain’s homes insulated - which is by FAR the best way to reduce household energy bills in the long term 🤦‍♂️ …and also, just incidentally, an absolute non-negotiable requirement for meeting UK climate targets 😬🥵☠️

I seem to remember Labour very recently making attack ads about how @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Greens didn't care about the environment and that Labour are the REAL party of climate action. Labour are an absolute disgrace on every conceivable level.

I have two - TWO - of these gorgeous original A4 meadow hare linoprints by my mum, Jo, to give away to a couple of lucky people here on Bluesky today. Rules are simple: to be in with a chance to win, you just have to repost this piece I wrote about Jo and her art: www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...

Nigel Farage's favoured Mayoral candidate for Doncaster said black people cannot be English. Reform councillor Alexander Jones claimed being English requires Anglo-Saxon ‘lineage’. The messages were deleted after questions were raised by Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

Oh happy day! Welcome to @southwarkgp.bsky.social Kath!

Any new joiners to the Green Party? WELCOME! I'm so happy you've joined us but the fight we face is about more then membership. We need you to get involved with your local party, we need canidates & fundraisers & leafleters & doorknockers & socials & phonebankers & designers & videographers & more

Billie's right though, it's disgusting to be a billionaire, give it away shorties, volunteer to pay more tax, fund a thousand food and baby banks, spread some love, you greedy swines!

I know many of you will already have done something to help the people of Jamaica, but if you felt like helping a specific family, this is the GoFundMe set up by my son’s girlfriend for her relatives, who find themselves in dire straits. Every bit helps, shares appreciated. gofund.me/9b5b74984

And now, a physical metaphor for "LLMs can be just as good as human writers and artists!" (And I know, I shared it twice. But it's just that nice!)

We’re so happy to have Kath joining @southwarkgp.bsky.social - welcome to the Green team!

Welcome to the Green Party, Cllr Kath Whittam 💚

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations! His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind. It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

New Green councillor in Southwark, new progressive mayor in nyc. Nice.

Feeling a bit low about work at the moment so had a quick browse over Indeed. God it's grim out there. Graduate admin jobs paying less than shop work. Anything skilled, requiring five years experience. Experienced London jobs paying less than £30k (which will be almost min wage next year)

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs. That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK. As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

I’ve seen on the media how pundits amusingly refer to Zack Polanski as if entirely propped up by social media & youngsters’ ‘vibes’ but to this middle aged women (who has no TikTok account) he seems the most serious political leader in sight talking about real issues with conviction and directness 🤷🏻‍♀️
