@zackpolanski.bsky.social calls for closer UK-Europe defence ties 🚨 "Brexit was one of the most catastrophic decisions this country has ever made. "We're also seeing that in terms of our security, we know that we've made ourselves increasingly isolated."

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people. We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government. This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

"Everyone dies in the end. It’s just how you go, right? You can’t stop tragic things from happening. Fires do happen." Reform's Housing spokesperson Simon Dudley on the Grenfell Tower fire, which killed 72 people and left 70+ injured. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

We are not here to be disappointed by Labour anymore. At the by-election in Gorton and Denton, we are here to replace them. This election is a two-way race now - Greens Vs Reform.

"The only flags Farage and Starmer have been waving this weekend are white." Written for the Metro 👇🏼 metro.co.uk/2026/01/05/z...

The world has shifted on its axis dramatically since the EU referendum of ten years ago. Brexit has never looked more foolish. It is now blindingly obvious that the UK needs, urgently, to stick together with our European neighbours. #RejoinEU www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Plenty of variables, but Farage remains a contender for PM. If so, what's the UK's international role? Airstrip One for a gangster state. Or we reject him, and resume being part of a rules-based Europe. This is the inescapable choice we now face, in shit circs (cos of Brexit, of Farage's making) 1/2

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is. It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime. This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

For the first time since the referendum we go into a new year with genuine hope that we can move closer to the day we rejoin the European Union🇪🇺 #TenYearsAfter #TYA

✨️ Happy New Year!! ❓️ Need a New Year's resolution? 💚 We've got you covered. ✅️ Here are 10 reasons why should join the Green Party in 2026 ⬇️

💬 @zackpolanski.bsky.social: "People are choosing a politics that doesn’t scapegoat the vulnerable or remain quiet on injustice,...a politics that says: yes, we can build a fairer economy; we can restore our natural world; we can reinvest in communities." ✅️ Choose hope. Choose Green.

"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

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.
