"In an interview with the Observer, Keir Starmer has branded the Green Party ‘nuts’. As we’ll get into, this is clearly a sign that Starmer is worried about the Greens overtaking him. Or, to put it as Zack Polanski might, the guy is ‘rattled’. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2025...

🚍 Greens across the #Bradford district are calling for better bus services. 🗣 #Ilkley campaigner @richardwilsoneu.bsky.social is demanding improvements to services in the Wharfe Valley 👇

Missed buses, inaccurate tracking & sudden cancellations cause real disruption for people across the Wharfe Valley. If your bus only comes every 40 or45 minutes, you cannot afford for it to simply not turn up. It is clear the system is failing local people.” #ilkley #bradford

Ryan Bourne, a member of the Economists for Brexit* cabal that the Leave camp depended on to make their economic case for leaving, has written a long article in the Times admitting to the damage that Brexit has caused. (*Other familiar names include Patrick Minford.) archive.ph/2025.11.26-1...

"We can judge Farage not just by the words he, allegedly, shouted as a child, but by the words and actions he has chosen as an adult." Zack Polanski on why Farage should be judged on his record as a politician which has seen him echo conspiracy and language of the far right.

People like me, who live on a low income, are poorer after yesterday's budget But the Chancellor didn't introduce measures to tax the wealthy more, or the income on their wealth I honestly find this mystifying

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else. Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not. He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions. Does he want to rejoin the EU? “Yes." observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Who is backing Labour's asylum plans? Tommy Robinson. Reform UK. The Conservative Party. This is all you need to know. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I have been out in Ilkley with the Ilkley Green Party team talking to local residents about the issues that matter to them. Come rain or shine, all year round, we are there! ✅

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

Can’t quite believe the Chancellor is seriously considering slashing support for home energy efficiency as a way to cut fuel bills 👀. Locking people into cold & leaky homes which will cost them more to heat & decimating the insulation industry at same time. Total madness 👇

Today, the Chancellor named Brexit as one of the main reasons for expected tax rises and lower productivity. Wasn't Brexit supposed to put £350 million a week into the economy? 🤔 One of just many lies it seems...

West Yorkshire needs an extended tram network - it’s time to scale up our ambitions to match the cities and regions of Europe! @wyneedsatram.bsky.social

Well done as "Leeds City Council have published an account of Leeds for Europe’s trip to our twin city of Lille in September on their blog. They have also published a link in their LinkedIn page. www.globalleeds.com/post/flying-...

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Reminder: Here's what Nigel Farage tried to take away from you this week...

🥀 Bradford's Labour-run council are planning yet more council tax hikes. 💷 People are being asked to pay more for less, while vital local services continue to be stretched. 🟢 Greens will keep pushing for a fairer approach that doesn’t put all the pressure on local people.

I liked it when Left-wing parties were antifascist.

If Reform can go from nought to sixty in 5 seconds (in terms of support & prominence) why can’t the millions of left-leaning people do exactly the same for @greenparty.org.uk ? It’s not beyond the realms of possibility. The old two-party monopoly is dead. Be part of the change. ✊💚

Whose side are you on? join.GreenParty.org.uk

Mehdi Hasan, "Is rejoining the EU a Green Party aim" Zack Polanski, "Yes it is" And just like that, the Green Party have leapfrogged the LibDems

Yet another dismissive, party-political answer by the PM at PMQs. The disparity between the UK's wealthiest and poorest is growing every day, with millions struggling with cost of living. When will the PM accept that the problem in our country is inequality, not immigration?

🚨PMQ's🚨 Ellie Chowns MP: "The wealthiest 10% of households in the UK hold more wealth than everyone else in the country put together" "Does the Prime Minister agree with me that it is inequality, not immigration, that is a threat to our country?"

@richardwilsoneu.bsky.social of Leeds for Europe meets Geoff Tranter of the Dortmund Anglo German Society. They discuss the importance of ordinary people from our two cities talking to each other, Brexit and the future off the friendship between Leeds for Europe and the Anglo German Society.

“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies." Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration. #Peston

At last the government is mentioning the "B" word! Now, having acknowledged that the impact of Brexit has been far worse than expected, what are they going to do about it? Tinkering won't be anywhere near enough. It's time to seriously consider rejoining the EU. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

💚 Amazing!!! 😲 There is so much potential in this moment... Thank you to everyone who has been part of this so far. Let's keep it going. Let's make hope normal again. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

With the slightest changes, accepting Free Movement, the UK could rejoin the Single Market and end about 95% of the damage that Brexit is doing to the UK. Why don't we just get it done?

All the different shades, all the races, all the religions, all the cultures added together, mixed in a melting pot, to make this beautiful land, even more beautiful! This is what makes me proud to be British!

The Green surge is breaking limits! 😲 Together, we can make hope normal again! 💚

As night follows day As red follows amber follows green This was always inevitable.

“The Greens are the only real opposition left in British politics. Standing up for fair taxes, a livable planet & a future where compassion & courage matter more than corporate interests. People are disillusioned, but we are here to make hope normal again.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Leeds for Europe is at today's Leeds Stand Up To Racism march and rally in the city centre.

This sums up where we are and why we fight. #standuptoracism

So proud of our @leedseurope.bsky.social team, marching alongside a coalition of groups, united against racism. Leeds was clear today, 1000s of us #stur and said #refugeesarewelcomehere @europeanmovement.co.uk

I was proud to march today against racism. Alongside @leedseurope.bsky.social I marched in the pro-European bloc on this impressive Stand Up To Racism march: “This is what Leeds looks like!” Brexit was a Faragist / racist project and I & my friends in Leeds for Europe have fought it for 8+ years. ✊

“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.

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

Labour voters overwhelmingly cite Brexit as the number one cause of our current difficulties, with 69% naming the decision to leave the EU as the main reason behind the country’s problems. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

So, let's see if I've got this straight? The world has changed enough for Labour to go back on their bedrock promise not to raise taxes. But not enough for them to scuff out their red lines on Brexit, the single most damaging drag on the UK economy. Idiots. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
