Hey Zack @zackpolanski.bsky.social Is it possible, practical, and desirable for @greenparty.org.uk to have an official policy to close all accounts on Twitter? i.e. official gpew spokespersons and Green controlled councils. Or are there insurmountable obstacles to such a course?

Just want to say, my admiration for Dara O Briain was already about as high as it can go, but it just went up another notch. Just a personal thing , nothing in the news. 🙂

Great googly mooglies! Sorry but we have gone beyond expletives as a reaction and out the other side to obscure children's TV exclamations.

What a stupid waste of taxpayers money. The authorities responsible for pressing charges should be prosecuted for wasting the court's time. Not that it is the worst crime this vile administration has perpetrated by a long way.

I was mildly surprised it wasn't last week

"Inequality hurts everyone." @zackpolanski.bsky.social on the lessons from Zohran Mamdani's win in New York and the case for taxing the wealth of the richest to fix our public services.

So true

Needed everywhere

The Spectator are confused. It's not going to be cost free. Billionaires are going to pay more. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Be prepared for the endless drip-feed of lies, misinformation, and selective reporting on Zohran Mamdani. In the UK, our shitty right-wing media have done everyting in their power to undermine London Mayor Sadiq Khan just because he's a Muslim and non-white.

Happy Guru Nanak Gurpurab to all Sikhs celebrating today 💚

More in Common typically gives Reform higher numbers but it's the direction of travel that matters most. Reform down, Labour down, Greens up, just confirming what all the other polls are saying. By the time the local elections in May come around, the Greens will be hoovering up seats.

If you're going to go on television and make a song and dance about being honest, it would be best if you weren't dancing around the main point. thecritic.co.uk/maki...

Like so much else, legal-but-sensibly-controlled is better than illegal. Working asylum seekers, drugs, sex work, gambling. Broadly speaking, things that people do should only be illegal if they harm others.

A recipe called for me to deseed a bell pepper and I don't think I should have to see that kind of negativity and downright insanity in something so mundane. If you need to deseed a bell pepper you probably should just use a tomato or something. Sheesh. 🙄

It was a shoo-in of course, but it's good to see the confirmation

Love that every time Labour make these crap attacks ads - the Green membership rockets up. And indeed the Green Party overtook Labour in a poll so let's hope they keep it up! Join.greenparty.org.uk

Samir Zitouni I can almost ear the Reform knuckle-draggers and Daily-Hate-Mail readers collectively backflipping.

There is no centre left bloc. Labour are right. LibDems are centre left. Greens are LEFT.

I've been arguing this for years. The Luddites were right. You only think they were wrong because you believed what capitalists told you they wanted. Luddites wanted to be paid fairly for their work. Machines could have made everyone richer, but they were being used only to make the rich richer.

Dream team. What a great President and First Lady they would make.

Reform councillors and politicians must be really angry about how much the right-wing media has exaggerated the extent and cost of equality initiatives given that it turns out there is almost nothing to cut.

As the United Nations Climate Change Conference approaches, we are calling on the Prime Minister to introduce a Climate Damages Tax on the extraction of fossil fuels in the world’s richest advanced economies. Time for the polluters to pay.

Weird that we are not defending Okehampton South. @swgreenparty.bsky.social ? Is there a deal?

Cumbria is obsessed with “foreigners”, yet nearly all our crimes are committed by home-grown crims. www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/2559211...

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia. This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give. How are Reform getting away with this? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Brighton & Hove Green Party statement on Reform UK Brighton and Hove's antisemitic Facebook post:

Surely a book that gets 25 ALL ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews on Waterstones must be something special. They can't all be the author's mum. www.waterstones.com/reviews/a-sp... "I was completely enveloped into Jimmy's world of #Devon around 1912" #BookSky #Brixham #Fishing #HistFic #HistoricalFiction

The situation in Sudan is horrific; war monitors have compared the level of violence in El Fasher to that of the start of the Rwandan genocide. The international community cannot abide this.

Newly arrived and available soon. #BookSky "Pucksie and the Ghosts of #Dartmoor" It brings together legends of Dartmoor in a spine tingling adventure in which two children staying with their gran on Dartmoor meetb Pucksie, who spirits them into the lives of historical characters.

Because it’s cis kids. The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇 No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

▪️ If it's an immigrant... "See!" ▪️ If it's not an immigrant, but they're not white (or don't have a white British name)... "See! Next generation of immigrants!" ▪️ If it's a white guy with a British name... "See! See what these immigrants made good peaceful people do?!"

Very pleased with this. Going to send a copy to Dartmoor National Park, and one to Ivybridge Bookshop. Both already good customers for the other relevant titles.

That would be poetic justice. Especially if it could be Zack who takes it from him, although I realise that is asking too much of coincidence. 🤣

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform.... Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally. It's time for Proportional Representation. www.thenational.scot/news/2558507...

If Rachel Reeves should be sacked (she should) then so should Farage; and Michelle Mone should be in prison.

When the Government ape the language and the rhetoric of the right - such as Starmers island of strangers speech - there are real life consequences. Huge solidarity with @mothinali.bsky.social and everyone facing racism. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Tipping point. We don't want FPTP but while we have it, this is a very strong position for the Green Party, polling above Labour, Conservative, and LibDems, and still rising in the polls.

Absolutely appalling. This should not happen in Britain. This is a direct result of the failure of the media and of the Labour and Conservative parties for not calling out and condemning racism and instead going along with the LIE that immigration is an out of control problem.

A new report shows the US’s super-rich are burning through carbon emissions at 4,000 times the speed of the world’s poorest 10%. Some would have you believe climate action has to cost you money. They're lying. Tax the polluters. Tax the super-rich.

It is way past time for the UK government & the BBC to get off X & for Musk to be treated as a threat to national security. The world's richest man is using his site to promote civil war, ethnic violence & the overthrow of an elected government. You won't win him over with another conference on AI

I was surprised to see a spike in sales for Exmoor Tales Winter on Amazon, but I just looked and they've reduced the price of the paperback to £2 I still get the full royalty so they make a loss! I can't print copies for that price! #BookSky #Exmoor #Somerset #Devon www.amazon.co.uk/Exmoor-Tales...

My hot take on this its great that the journalist acknowledges that the Green Party is at record membership, record polling and has huge momentum. But why say "dentally challenged?" Who or what is that serving? The state of journalism.
