"Bristol is beginning to see the benefits of a Green approach to governing: one that prioritises genuine prevention over instead of sticking plaster treatments, a philosophy at the heart of our financial mindset." Me for @bristol247.bsky.social. www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

Over 170,000 children living in temporary accommodation is a national disgrace. Children need safe, warm, stable homes to thrive - when will Labour grasp the nettle on this? We need to unfreeze the local housing allowance and seriously invest in social housing, now.

Drug deaths are still increasing. London has seen the biggest increase of any region. Every death is someone's child, parent, friend. What more evidence is needed that our drug laws are not keeping people safe? My heart goes out to everyone impacted. www.london.gov.uk/latest-drug-...

"The darkness we face requires a joyful fighter." Challenging the right requires us to grow our international movement. I sat down with El Pais. 👇🏼 elpais.com/eps/2025-10-...

County councillor Des Watt, who was elected to represent Yaxley & Farcet earlier this year, has left the Reform UK group on the council and is now listed as a non-aligned Independent. This reduces the Reform group to nine, one less than the Conservatives. cambridgeshire.cmis.uk.com/ccc_live/Cou...

Council Tax is so regressive - urgent reform is needed. Proud to be one of the MPs who signed this letter: acorntheunion.org.uk/press-releas...

"The real challenge now is to find ways to live not just in alignment with planetary limits – but with limits that have already been breached." Check out my latest #Substack reporting from the #GreenParty conference. rupertsreads.substack.com/p/from-elect...

Labour ministers met fossil fuel lobbyists 500 times in first year of power, analysis shows Lobbyists attended 48% more meetings than Tories, as Labour accused of giving them "backstage pass" www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The war on drugs has failed. It punishes those with addictions, drives drug sales through the black market and ultimately kills people. We need to grow up and make what’s so obviously the right decision. We need to stop criminalising drugs. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

"This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors. [] a Palestinian boy from the West Bank, the same age as Greta, has died in Israeli custody.'

It is fantastic watching @zackpolanski.bsky.social getting Green Party policy into the news with taxing and regulating landlords and building council houses, decrimialising and regulating drugs and supporting addicts properly and saying that Wales and Scotland have the right to self determination.

Just joined and wondering what next? You can find us at The Empress tonight from 7pm. Come and have a casual chat and a drink (alcohol strictly optional) and find out how you can get involved in the fastest growing political party in the UK!

Rosebank forced to admit its climate impact would be 50x greater than it initially claimed. Clear evidence that this climate-wrecking oil field must never be developed www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Caroline Lucas is wondering why Michelle Mone is still a member of the House of Lords And most of us are wondering the same as well! But if Mone is going to be removed from the Lords, there are others too who fail to meet the standard and should be removed as well

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone. And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

We're facing a crisis of inequality in this country, with our social housing in crucial need of long-term investment to secure warm, safe homes for those most in need. A warm home is your right; a cold home is a political choice. The government must make different ones.

Do you want to know more about the Green Party drugs policy? Here is @zoegarbett.bsky.social talking about it youtu.be/FfZhHl_zdMA?...

Do listen in. It became quite, ahem, heated.

One for other local political parties to do - publicise your public events! Can’t complain about declining party membership & threats to democracy if parties don’t make it easier for the public to get involved. Advertising event calendars is one of the easy wins.

In any discussion of food and farming, unless your solution can be scaled to feed 8 billion people, you shouldn't be taken seriously. Unfortunately, cottagecore fantasies that would feed only the richest consumers, leaving billions to starve, are all too common. www.monbiot.com/2023/10/04/t...

Followed by a welcome to members, great to see the levels of diversity increasing in the party. We still really need to encourage more women from global majority backgrounds. @globalgreens.bsky.social

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd. Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it. (Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

Lower bills. Fund our NHS. Not their culture war nonsense. youtu.be/1CbN6TUTRZs?...

"I'm not surprised the personal attacks have started. They've got loads of lines: about my teeth, about my history as an actor, about my name change... the right just don't actually have a line of attack against me that's political"

It’s been a busy week packed full of committee meetings! On Tuesday, I was at Cambridgeshire County Council’s Children and Young People Committee, where I stood up for children with special educational needs who are not getting the support that they deserve ✊

Eight Reform UK councils have indicated that they will raise council tax next year after struggling to find huge cuts in public spending. That’s despite Reform UK flyers during the Local Elections criticising councils for doing just that. Never trust a Reformer. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

“Britain is a nation of neighbours, not strangers — and it’s time we built a politics of hope that reflects that.” Zack Polanski with a message of unity and hope having been out door knocking Handsworth today.

Next week, the Green Party will defend Worcestershire Councillor Hannah Robson in the High Court. The Reform UK candidate is hoping to overturn our election win! Can you help us defend Hannah and democracy from this attack? Please donate if you can 🙏 donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk/make-sure-we...

Inspired to have a leader like @mothinali.bsky.social, amongst us in the North. It’s refreshing to see someone who tells it like it is, knows the struggle, but demonstrates we can all move beyond the hate & division, and move forward together, with compassion and courage. Stand together, not alone.

Richard Tice the Hypocrite - who would think such a thing. Companies he leads extol the virtues of solar energy and emissions reductions and even boast of a net zero building. Tice has been a green champion for 15 years - through business. buff.ly/HkUMBIW

I was in foster care for a period of time - I was lucky to have been adopted by a wonderful family when I was 2.5yrs old. Children of care are traumatised. They believe they are not worthy of love they often blame themselves for them being in care this can last a lifetime This guy can fuck off

💩Thames Water's creditors are trying to strike a deal with Ofwat that could let them off complying with pollution rules until 2040. There's a better way than their dirty tricks! Public ownership - because we should have a say in how our water is run.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies? By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

I have to say Zack Polanski is very impressive. I watch his development as a party leader with great interest. It’s refreshing to hear a politician actually attempt to get to the real heart of a problem instead of lazily following the current habit of blaming immigration and nonwhite communities.

Well done to all the brilliant local councillors who have lowered the speed limits their roads to 20mph - often in the face of much hostility. There is now irrefutable evidence to show your bold decisions are saving lives. Thank you!

‘It feels good – and quite strange – to think I could vote for what I believe in…’ @natashawalter.bsky.social reports on why young women are flocking to @greenparty.org.uk, won over by @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s stance on topics such as Palestine, refugee rights and economic injustice 🌱

The @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social’s city councillors (and a future councillor, with your support) were over at the Guildhall last night 💚 I asked the council what they’re doing to get residents’ homes retrofitted so that they can save money with environmentally-friendly housing 🏡

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

Absolutely disgracefully biassed intro of #bbcqt (Questiontime) by Fiona Bruce: alone of all the panellists, she singled out a controversial policy of Zack Polanski / the Green Party for comment in her intro remarks. #BbcQT is systematically biassed in favour of the Right, and against the Greens.
