This is very interesting and shows that for the @greenparty.org.uk, there is a large audience for economically left and socially liberal policies We might be further ‘left’ on both than many of them, but as Labour vacate that space, there is growth potential benansell.substack.com/p/british-po...

If the UK now recognises the Palestinian state, surely it must now call for Israel to withdraw from its settlements in the West Bank? Recognition must lead to clear opposition to Israeli land grabs and acknowledge Israel as an invading force. Otherwise it’s meaningless

We are growing because we are unapologetic about demanding real change: taxing the super-rich, funding our NHS, and tackling the climate crisis head-on." And this week we are holding our biggest and boldest conference ever." www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/cele...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

🎉 80,000 Green Party members! 📈 But we're not stopping there. 💚 We have no time to waste. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

It's about time Labour stopped splitting the anti Reform vote and stood down at elections right?

I can’t quite express how much I loathe Starmer’s position here I’m just so grateful that @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk are making the positive case for the movement of people and the huge contribution immigrants have made to the UK

One of the most important charts in the world - from Rush Doshi in the New York Times. Without its allies, the United States is woefully behind China in metrics of raw economic power. Too bad the US president does not seem to get it. 1/

A 7% decline in English birds in just 5 years is astonishing The web of life is unravelling fast

Aviation expansion is a disaster for the climate crisis. Anyone who's been paying any attention to this shambles of a Labour Govenrment knows they don't care about people in poverty, don't care about nature nor for the planet. Just big business & their own interests. #Gatwick

Has the @greenparty.org.uk really added nearly 10,000 new members in the last week? Yes. Yes it has!

✊ Yesterday we elected a new Green, socialist councillor in Brighton & Hove. 📈 With 76k members and counting, tomorrow that could be you. join.greenparty.org.uk

“Only the purest of the pure should be supported. Anything that doesn’t accord perfectly with my personal beliefs should be opposed” This is why the left always fractures and always loses Depressing to see it playing out so obviously with ‘Your Party’

If you’re dismayed by the farcical behaviour of ‘Your Party’ there is a progressive alternative that is growing rapidly and winning against Labour across the country

Amazing result on a massive swing from Labour to Green

Greens win Queen’s Park seat in Brighton from Labour with massive 24% swing We’ve had Cllrs in this ward before but we’ve never achieved a vote this high Grn: 48% Lab: 31% Well done @bhgreens.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk

Jesus wept Can’t agree on the name, the process, the timing, the leader, the rules or the people I’m afraid Corbyn is demonstrating that he cannot lead a functioning and dynamic organisation

Wow! This isn’t just Labour losing seats mid-term, this is Labour being completely gutted by voters At the last election they had 30 out of 60 seats, and are now projected to have 11 out of 99 seats I think we’ll see this happen in many local elections too

How do we fix this mess?

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age. They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

This is a great episode of @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s new podcast and shows how easily we can reframe the debate on immigration and tackle the rise of far right thinking in our govt and media High recommend spending 25 mins of your life listening to this podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

The Green Party has hit 70k members! We've got more MPs, more councillors, and now more members than EVER before The country is crying out for a positive alternative – and you can help us build it There's never been a better time to join our movement: join.greenparty.org.uk

Well, quite

Imagine having factions appear before the party even exists! The problem for all political parties is that the people involved in them are often not good at compromise or facing practical realities. But x10 for the left Another issue here is: Corbyn needs to be leader but is also a terrible leader

"If we're really serious about tackling the problems we face, it's only the Greens that have the answer." Marina Lademacher, our candidate for the Queen's Park by-election, speaks to @edpoole1975.bsky.social about why she's standing, and this election matters: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtI_...

@bhlabour.bsky.social have selected an anti-trans and anti-migrant candidate in the current Queen’s Park by-election The mask is off - now we see the real current Labour Party www.scenemag.co.uk/brighton-hov...

All those wailing about Rayner resigning after she was found to have broken the ministerial code need to be roundly ignored That is how politics should work and respect to her for responding in that way

Zack delivering the kind of clear message we need Time to get on board

Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Ian Dunt is the ultimate centrist cheerleader, so for him to feel this disgusted by Starmer means that the rot has truly set in But he still can’t quite admit he’s part of the problem: “Labour doesn’t need to be an asylum support group” FFS! iandunt.substack.com/p/labours-co...

How do you make surrogacy illegal in practice? It is just the birth mother agreeing to hand full custody to the father. Fathers can do likewise without anyone caring So how do you prevent a mother doing it without sex discrimination?

As someone who is v sceptical about this new Corbyn party, you can’t deny the opportunity that exists to bring together the progressive vote This % would deliver a parliamentary majority right now “if this new left-wing party forms a pact with the Green Party, that figure rises to 31%”

What happens to council/social housing under a Labour government…?

For once I'll say something positive about the Labour govt. This would be a useful step towards fairer taxation, a more stable housing market, and more effective local government financing The problem is that Labour have no mandate for it, so backlash inevitable www.theguardian.com/money/2025/a...

Good to see a great candidate for @greenparty.org.uk @bhgreens.bsky.social in this by-election This is very winnable. People are angry about how Labour has lied and tricked its way into power only to continue Tory policies and Marina will put real fear into them for local residents

So, I got round to voting in the @greenparty.org.uk leadership election It is very clear to most activists & observers alike that the party is facing an enormous opportunity, and that we must change gear to achieve it Only @zackpolanski.bsky.social is offering that and so it simply has to be him

1 in 6 UK residents were born overseas, which means they are proportionately less likely to be in prison compared to UK-born residents The Times headline suggests the opposite because they are seeking to incite racial hatred.

This has been Labour’s approach (apart from Corbyn) for a very long time

Whatever your politics, we must recognise that the next stage for the Green Party requires it to cut through to our target voters much more effectively, and at a larger scale @zackpolanski.bsky.social has demonstrated that he can do that, which makes him the only credible choice in this election

They say I’m “polarising” - but can’t name a single example. So let me give them one: It’s the 99% vs the 1%. If you’re not Shell or a billionaire, I’m on your side. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

I really can't stand the hostile environment. I am feeling it as the parent of a disabled child. I had naively thought this wouldn't continue to be a thing under a Labour government. How wrong I was.

This is so gross. Asylum seekers working is not only not a problem for anyone at all, it’s actually a good thing for everyone Could this Labour govt become any more reactionary and sinister? (Obvs the sad answer is yes)

This is the political video I've been waiting to see. I have no party affiliations, but if I were in the Greens, I would vote for @zackpolanski.bsky.social

This is what the @greenparty.org.uk should be saying and how we should be fighting back @zackpolanski.bsky.social cutting through with clarity, passion and great analysis

@danneidle.bsky.social Great piece on wealth tax proposals, but this is an oversight. The piece would be better if it were corrected for this

This 💯 It’s important to shift the incidence of tax away from productive activities and towards unearned income/rent seeking, but let’s do it in a way that’s effective

Labour will try to convince you that their version of austerity is necessary Don’t buy it. Show them the door, just like the Tories

Finally listened to a podcast so bad, I feel the need to call it out Diary of a CEO seriously needs a more robust approach to challenging its guest’s claims This one was multiple apocalyptic predictions based on little more than some old guy’s ramblings podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

I think Cambridge should definitely be a key @greenparty.org.uk target seat over the next few years Great to see the local party doing so well, but to win it we need to support it in a more strategic way

Have just signed this open letter to the Minister for Equalities about the EHRC code of practice and the glaringly obvious risks to the human rights of trans, intersex and all gender diverse people. Takes almost no time to read the letter and sign up. (Huge thanks to @philippaeast.bsky.social).
