I'm so grateful for being a part of our diverse, representative leadership team at @greenparty.org.uk. We're gaining hundreds of members each day and surging in the polls. 💚

After speaking at a March for Gaza in Eastbourne today, a group of young people told me the Green Party and its new leadership team gave them hope in politics for the first time in their lives. We now have over 20,000 Young Greens, now is the perfect time for young people to join us. 💚

To all the new members, GET INVOLVED, GET ACTIVE, WE NEED YOU!

"Here's my direct appeal to all the new members: get out, get active, we need you. People who've been around a bit longer: let's make the space for people to develop, let's make the space for people to blossom." 💯% to all of this!

A busy day in Gipton and Harehills, the charity football tournament organised by Nanu Sports Foundation was a massive success, great fun for the family and a brilliant way of bringing the community together.

Time to take on the Daily Mail and this Labour Government. Let's keep growing our movement with the joy of knowing we all deserve so much better - and we can make it happen. Time to join.greenparty.org.uk

This was excellent & well worth half hour of your time! @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social Chair of @europeanmovement.co.uk talks with Zack Polanski, Leader of Green Party, with such knowledge & passion about Europe & why our future needs to be with the EU @boldpolitics.bsky.social youtu.be/naOYDEyRHCA

"As soon as we overtake the Tories, we're coming for Labour. I think Labour know we're coming for them in May at the local elections," says Zack Polanski. "Keir Starmer must be looking at those and thinking it is going to be an absolute massacre" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/zack...

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson. Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks. Piss him off instead and Join.greenparty.org.uk

"Whether it's Reform or Labour, I think they don't quite know what to do with me," Zack Polanski tells Lewis Goodall "One day, I'm being painted as an incompetent clown, and on other days, I'm a very dangerous Machiavellian man" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/zack...

People keep asking why I still make these videos every day at the age of 67. The truth is simple: our economy is still deeply unfair. This is why I keep going: because another world is possible. youtu.be/-7r_B7Q8uQk?...

HMRC to restart powers to take money directly from bank and building society accounts for tax owed. How will it identify vulnerable people? What if money removed in error? Need safeguards. The real culprits use offshore bank accounts or complex dodge schemes, and escape.

Judge the next UK budget by how much it improves the purchasing power of the bottom 50%. Can't revive economy without that. 16m live in poverty. 34% of universal credit claimants are in work. Millions rely on food banks. Bottom 50% of population has 5% of wealth; the bottom fifth has only 0.5%.

The Labour Party are doing the same, they are amplifying Reform politics and in doing so normalising racism and the far right. If you want to save the country from Fascism, DON'T vote Labour

The vile Starmer government it really targeting disabled people here. A £1bn cut in the motability scheme, that gets cars for disabled people - I have a friend who needs this to live an independent life - out of a total of £2.8bn. That means it is cutting the scheme by more than ONE THIRD!

This Labour government just hates the disabled. In just over a year they’ve caused them unbelievable fear and suffering. Starmer had disabled family. Pure evil man.

I feel someone needs to ask this govt "what is the point of the economy?" Because if it isn't to improve the lives, health and prospects of us ALL, I suggest we need a new system. Right now the system seems to be "throw the littlest ones on the fire to keep the rest JUST warm enough to work".

"It is the eternal struggle between these two principles — right and wrong. The one is the common right of humanity, and the other the divine right of kings...[When] a king seeks to bestride the people of his own nation, it is the same tyrannical principle." -- Abraham Lincoln #NoKings

If the #EpsteinFiles can take down a child rapist Prince then they can certainly take down a child rapist President. #NoKings

Good wishes to the US on #NoKings day from the UK.

Will the requirement for A-level standard English apply to British workers, too? Think we're going to see quite a few unemployed ReformUK voters judging by their posts on here... BBC News - Migrants will need A-level standard English to work in UK www.bbc.com/news/article...

The British Broadcasting Corporation - otherwise known as the BBC of course, and in days gone by affectionately referred to as ‘Auntie’ - was founded 103yrs ago today. Once venerated around the world it is now a sad, incompetent & piss poor iteration of its former self.

Well this is a proper head scratcher. But yeah, fiddling around with tax and getting rid of consumer protections should sort it. Wonder what those ‘former chancellors and prime ministers’ had to say about this shitshow. Any mention of Brexit at all?? (Times and Private Eye)

BREAKING - Major WIN! The Court of Appeal handed down its ruling today on the government’s appeal which is seeking to block the legal challenge to the ban on Palestine Action. The Home Office appeal was REFUSED and the Judicial Review will go ahead with two EXTRA GROUNDS! 1/🧵

There are dozens of safe seats in the UK that have been held by the same party for 100+ years. There are millions of voters who've never had the representation they asked for. We can keep waiting. Or we can change our Victorian voting system. What do you prefer?

Will minor parties like 'Labour' stand down to ensure the Greens can defeat 'Reform'? Politics has changed. Who would have thought hostile policies, genocide support and optics/lies by focus groups wouldn't fool everyone all the time. Us. We knew that.

He & most of his cabinet are funded by Zionists. So he jumps when they shout, just like Merz.

A bleak dystopia where Sharia law predominates, while economic and cultural divisions mean that the different communities live parallel, segregated lives. Oh, wait, that’s Dubai …

Cuts to benefits normalises the idea that welfare is a problem to be fixed rather than a cornerstone of a civilised society. It pushes disabled people further into isolation, stripping away mobility and dignity It shifts public anger away from corporate power, and wealth concentration

Today I spoke at the RMT demo against the threat of deportation of hundreds of rail workers - some in just a few weeks. The Government’s rushed visa changes reclassified which jobs count as “skilled,” with no consultation or vote. It’s wrong, cruel, and must be dropped.

Food prices are out of control. From free school meals to a Windfall Tax on profiteering companies, we need an urgent debate on Government action to bring prices down and to support families. Food price caps were seriously discussed a few years ago – and must be again now.

Starmer, despite his autocratic tendencies has no legal authority (except in national emergencies, which this clearly isn’t) to order football matches to go ahead against the order of Chief Constables. That is a police responsibility in law, not a political diktat from a PM with only 34% of the vote

Next UEFA must ban all Israeli teams. We cannot have normalisation with genocide and apartheid.

Court of Appeal dismisses Home Office appeal in Palestine Action case. Home Office wanted to stop the High Court even hearing the challenge to its decision to proscribe Palestine Action. Today's decision means the High Court will hear the case, next month. Amazing work by all of the legal team!

You don’t have “normal relations” with genocide and apartheid. Boycott, divestment and sanctions until Palestine is free.

Protest Here’s what you need to know about Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs: they would have killed the Labour party at birth George Monbiot The rights we enjoy in the UK & the movement the PM purports to lead were built on protest. Those rights are in dire peril www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

❗️UK government allocates $9.33 million for pro-Israel 'anti-Semitism' training at universities The British government is providing a £7 million ($9.33 million) funding package to a pro-Israel group to conduct 'anti-Semitism' training at universities.

I think it's important that we know that Ed Davey agrees with the Prime Minister somehow. Fucking piss diamonds.

UK social policy broken down by age group: 0-17: two-child benefit cap 18-21: £60k student debt 21-64: minimum wage job, extortionate rent 65-79: unaffordable care homes Over 80s: why won't the bastards die?

Centrica is among the 491 employers fined for failing the minimum wage. Britain's privatised gas monopoly made £1.6bn in profits last year.
