Greens have consistently said these elections should go ahead and led a coordinated campaign with other opposition parties to lobby the government to do the right thing. Now they have. People will now have their say on who will best represent them in their ward and who runs Exeter City Council.

Private jet travel has soared to record highs and so has public support for fairly taxing them. Applying carbon pricing to jets would also raise significant revenue for climate action and a just transition. carbonmarketwatch.org/2026/02/12/l...

BBC headline utterly failing. ‘The saga of a £165m rail line that keeps causing travel chaos’ It’s not the rail line that “keeps causing travel chaos” its the shifting climate with more prolonged and intense rainfall and more frequent storms leading to landslips and the sea wall being washed out.

Yes it's worrying. If you can't talk about adaptation, you could be still in denial.

Researchers have found that 6 of 10 abortion restrictions — bans on Medicaid funding for abortion, mandated waiting periods, 2nd-trimester abortion bans, ACA marketplace insurance coverage bans, biased counseling laws, and ultrasound requirements — were linked to higher rates of maternal mortality.

Greens secured MAJOR changes totalling £1.2 Million in the 2026 county council budget - despite being in opposition! 🚲 £900K for pavements, paths and cycleways 🌍 £200K for climate change adaptation, resilience and community support 🫂 £100K for projects building community cohesion and cooperation

AEF has signed a letter, alongside other aviation campaign groups, calling for crop-based fuels to remain excluded from the UK’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate. Allowing these fuels in would undermine the mandate’s sustainability goals. www.aef.org.uk/2026/02/11/k...

Odds Slashed On Green Party By-Election Victory After Big Money Bets The party is now heavy odds-on favourites to triumph in Gorton and Denton. #VoteGreen 💚 www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/odds-s...

Struggling to find the words to describe the utter reckless vandalism of this sickening move - deliberately making millions of people sicker & less secure in order to enrich billionaire polluters

This is @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s take on those Jim Ratcliffe comments …

The mood in Gorton and Denton is clear - Labour have blown it. Only the Greens can stop Reform.

“If you’ve never been involved with the Young Greens before but you’re thinking maybe it’s for you, come and meet us. It’s a friendly, welcoming bunch, and there’s something for everyone — whether it’s leafleting, shaping policy, or becoming the leaders of tomorrow.” Join the Young Greens today! 💚

Little aircraft fuel has been produced to the standard defined as "Sustainable Aviation Fuel". Here is the stuff that makes it:

🚪How you can help turn #Bradford Green - Part 2: door knocking. @zackpolanski.bsky.social gives us the door knocking low down: "the only thing you need to be scared of is the state of undress that sometimes people open the door in" 😳 😁 Door knocking wins elections. Come and join us 👇

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance. But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show. Richard Tice pulled out. Farage won’t face me. Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer. Vote Green.

Sadly I think this is true.

The UN Secretary General has said it's time to move beyond GDP and measure "the things that really matter to people and their communities." He's right.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... The Greens have been saying this for a long time.

One of the things we learned during our High Court case against Reform is its propensity, nakedly and without embarassment, to lie. Only the blissfully naive would take its explanation for this at face value.

As floods and storms hit the westcountry, we should be calling for national government to put on a televised emergency briefing on the #ClimateEmergency

Punitive taxation will keep fossil fuels in the ground. Support the Global Tax Treaty.

Today I have written to the Secretary of State at DEFRA asking for an update on when the Govt will hold a debate on the national security assessment, particularly its stark warning that global biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse pose a serious threat to the UK's security and prosperity.

🚨 BREAKING: According to YouGov, the Green Party are polling at 17%, up one point compared to late January. Zack Polanski's Greens are 2 points behind Labour, compared to a 5-point gap in late January. 📈

This will generate twenty times more electricity than the previous wind farm on the same area. The dismantled turbines had operated for 32 years. In every one of those years the Greens were told that they are well meaning but foolish to think that renewable electricity is viable.

Look at this chart from @ember-energy.org on UK wind+solar generation. Total levels of generation are up massively over the last 5 years and the monthly levels are remarkably consistent. 'What happens when the wind doesn't blow?' is a challenge, but it is not a big a problem as many people suggest.

The betting markets favour the Green Party and @greenpartyhan.bsky.social in Gorton and Denton it seems. @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social

This bastion of moral virtue has opinions about the Green Party. Just remember that as they continue to attack us. This is who they are. Mask is off.

🫣 Labour in Exeter joins forces with Reform UK to block improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists. 🤑 Throwing away money earmarked for healthy and active travel. 🤔 What is the point of Labour?

The U bend is mightier than the U turn

This is why I think Greens will win in Gorton and Denton.

Hope before hate — neighbours, not enemies. This is Manchester. This is Gorton and Denton! 💚

The Tories are the reason we've lost our close relationship with Europe And now they're saying we shouldn't have anything to do with china What is their suggestion? More cosying up to Trump? Or are they still living in the delusion of Global Britain going it alone?

The more I watch this from Hannah Spencer, two things happen: 1. The more I like it and her. 2. The more it makes me want to get out and do what she says by volunteering. ... I'm surprisingly moved by 2, as I can physically feel it breaking through the armour of scepticism I've built around myself.

"The Greens are going to win" Meet Hannah Spencer, the Green Party candidate for Gorton and Denton. Plumber, councillor, and "Reform's worst nightmare".

Please join us and help make history at the Gorton and Denton by-election! 💚. We have a brilliant candidate, Hannah Spencer, we have momentum and we have a vital message - that the politics of hope *can* win over the politics of hate. We can win this! @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk

Oh, and 4. Despite the demand for proportional representation from Labour members, Starmer won't change our ridiculous First Past the Post system. So he's in no position to blame anyone for "splitting the vote". share.google/buxD1tZ5BfKk...

A Green victory in the Gorton and Denton by-election would feel like divine justice.

Hope is here #GortonandDenton

Huge congratulations Hannah!! What a brilliant choice - someone who knows & loves the city, lived there all her life, & 100% committed to delivering the very best for residents. On my way to campaign in Gorton and Denton right now. We can do this!! 💚 @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk

Latest polling from Find Out Now has Greens in second place on 19% (Labour and Tories both on 17%). This is the highest Find Out Now has ever polled the Green Party.

Two things to learn from this. 1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors. 2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...
