If something is legally required, like car insurance, then the industry should be nationalised. Why should the law force me to make profit for their shareholders rather than taxpayers?

One day I'll find a succinct, shareable caption to describe this app that will get it in front of people looking for something like this. Til then, I'll just keep trying 😅

NEW VIDEO: Thanks to our anti-social social order, many people are struggling with a lack of community in their lives. I believe we can change that. Let's revisit the village of the past, then sketch out a radical vision for the future of community. youtu.be/1-Xl6dhDV3Q

New Fairytale of New York lyrics just dropped... 😮‍💨 Grace Petrie 👏

Humans just need progress. We need something to be getting better. That can be our social life, self-development, career, family, anything tangible in our own lives. Trying to argue that "GDP line go up" is an innate human need is the kind of take that makes economics sound like a cult.

Disengage. There's a massive dumpster fire in front of us, and most of us are trying to put it out, but the guys who sell us the water are the same guys chucking the molotovs. We can just turn around, and walk away.

If you think the world would be a better place if communities owned their own infrastructure, and want inspiration from people already doing that, then give this a follow and a share 💚

Very disappointing to see Labour cutting tax incentives for transferring businesses to employee ownership.

There's a huge opportunity for the Greens to outflank Labour on: ➡️ Co-ops ➡️ Community organisations Labour are still serving them relatively well directly, but organisers won't ignore everything else. Like trade unions, Labour are entrenched, but now is a golden opportunity to replace them.

Greens have 47% of the 18-24 vote in this week's YouGov poll 😳

A mass exodus from Labour representatives can't be far away, surely? There is no way back from this.

I think some of us may have forgotten that the entire point of living in a society is that each of us gives up a little so that we all gain a lot.

Can every day on the internet be like today please? 🥹

📈 If my statistical models are correct, Greens are now on track to receive 224% of the vote in the 2029 General Election.

So I'm expecting the answer to this to be really obvious because I've never seen it asked or even ever thought about it before but what does the "GPT" in ChatGPT stand for? 🙃

Who’s joining Artists for the Green Party?! (he says with zero artistic ability himself 😬 )

I have this silly little dream for the Green Party that someone will start a movement to create art inspired by policies. Like, the policies are great, but tangibly they'll mean something different to everyone. I wanna see a thousand different visions of the better future we're all fighting for 💚

The Greens are steering British politics right now. Those still referring to a "Polanski bounce" are underestimating it. The spike in attention after Zack became leader? A bounce. The sustained membership growth, media appearances, polling surge? That's a movement, just getting started.

When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them. I meant it. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I dunno about you lot, but my local Green Party is absolutely buzzing with people looking to do some good in our community. I'm genuinely so excited to see the result of all these talented people getting together for a common cause over the next few months 💚

#bbcqt viewers, here's that link you're looking for 💚

We have the fastest growing membership of any political party because absolutely we want to #AbolishBadThings We stand for; a Wealth Tax, renationalisation, green jobs, clean air, clean water, fully funded NHS, fight climate change, equality, and more! If you feel the same join.greenparty.org.uk

Very interesting surge in Green voters in the 50-64 age band in this week's YouGov poll, from 6% up to 13%. yougov.co.uk/topics/polit...

Take a bow, Green Party conference 👏

"Zack Polanski is the answer to all our problems." I disagree. Zack is incredibly good at communicating the reality we're in, but solutions he proposes only work when we stop expecting others to fix our problems for us. Zack is reminding us that WE are the answer to all our problems.

I'm gonna dip off here for a bit to concentrate on helping my local Green Party & community. I tend to go in cycles of building & posting community-owned infrastructure stuff, then actually going out and doing things. I feel like I need to go do things again. Follow these folks while I'm gone 💚

UK’s first community-owned farm, Fordhall Organic Farm nr. Market Drayton, to double in size after donation

'There could scarcely be a better illustration of how difficult it has become for Britain to invest in infrastructure.' With my green policy wonk hat on, I've written about the initiative no one talks about: community energy projects.

Who are your top 5 political voices online creating content that you think the world would benefit from hearing more? Right now, I'm going Mikaela Loach, Gary Stevenson, Zack Polanski, Zoe Gardner, George Monbiot, and Zarah Sultana.

Introducing our manifesto for next year’s Senedd elections. In it we call for: 🟢The creation of a Community Wealth Fund 🟢A levy on natural resources 🟢Mandatory shared ownership on private projects 🟢The right to trade energy locally Read: communityenergy.wales/content/publ...

Biggest number of votes at a general election (nearly 2m) based on 6.7% of the vote. A year later and YouGov poll today has Greens on 12%. Greens are in touching distance of doing something huge powered (and funded) members not big business. Join today join.greenparty.org.uk

I think a lot about community education and how we need to really lean into that but we need all hands on deck. It truly takes an entire community.
