There was a full house tonight for @zackpolanski.bsky.social's visit to @darlingtongreens.bsky.social tenth anniversary celebration. Absolutely amazing energy in the room, and a credit to the fantastic local team who pulled this together. A huge thank you to everyone involved.

Govt reduces London’s affordable housing quotas. Developers to get subsidies if they include 20% affordable housing instead of current 35% target. Bigger profits for developers. Yielding to developers won't solve homelessness and poverty crisis. Let councils build affordable homes.

Voting for other parties than Labour does NOT let Reform in. Voting for other parties than Labour means other parties can win.

Interesting framing by BBC News, the odds on favourite #ReformUK lost. Hopefully a sign of things to come. - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl... Caerphilly by-election won by Plaid Cymru Well done. 💚

Don’t give an inch, don’t show weakness, stand your ground.

"We intend to replace Labour at the ballot box." @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaks to Sky News following the defection of three former Labour councillors to the Green Party in Swindon.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

This is a fantastic article about how cargo bikes are proving to be a gamechanger for parents wanting to reduce their car usage. (With an appearance from @lauragmitchell.com!)

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all. Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

This is what GB News considers news. Actual news: @greenparty.org.uk announced we have more members than the Conservatives, double the Lib Dems, making us the third largest party in Britain. Now I wonder why GB News wouldn't want to report on that? join.greenparty.org.uk

Sorry you've been a victim of fake news. I said this morning to @vicderbyshire.bsky.social that the Green Party had passed 123,000 members. A couple of hours later it's out of date. @greenparty.org.uk have 126,000! 🎉🚀 Join.greenparty.org.uk

Visited the East Midlands #Hydrogen Summit @ High Marnham, once a coal station, now electrolysers fed by a biomass CHP. Impressive engineering but familiar contradictions. Hydrogen’s moving from hype 2 infrastructure, yet efficiency doubts remain. 🔗 www.jelfs.org/blog/hydroge... #EnergyTransition

Excuse me

I joined @jenpsaki.msnbc.com on @msnbc.com after tonight’s debate.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Robert Jenrick calls Handsworth "a slum". The Prime Minister calls us "an island of strangers". Real leaders know that there's culture in every corner of the UK when you scratch below the surface. Real leaders don't punch down, they lift up.

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!

British.

Arrived for a #Hydrogen event not a hydrogen bus?

Making the case for wealth taxes on @SkyNewsPolitics just now. Rumours that Chancellor might seek yet more spending cuts are horrifying - public services are already on their knees & top 50 richest families in UK now hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population - over 34 million people.

"Look back at the archives of history... the people who gave the real sick speeches... they would have been absolute lunatics if they weren't part of this bigger movement" Chlöe Swarbrick 👏

More evidence that the #climate emergency affects *everything* - it should be front & centre of ALL government decisions. As well as serious adaptation (petition here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7300…) Govt must urgently stop making things worse eg greenlighting high carbon airport expansion

Love how this same message is being spread globally. @zackpolanski.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DMwMDq_...

It’s pronounced cyclist.

"You need to be unapologetic, someone who gets the modern media environment and social media, and is a competent speaker - all of which Polanski is." Why Zack Polanski is one of the only UK politicians with a reason to be cheerful right now www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/zack...

Zack Polanski and Chlöe Swarbrick, co-leader of Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand, discuss the similarities and differences of striving for fairer societies on opposite sides of the planet. Tonight on this week's episode of Bold Politics.

What is the betting Hypnosis will be mentioned yet again... ?

open.spotify.com/episode/4Es4... wirth listening to the second half of this podcast covering @zackpolanski.bsky.social almost exclusively positive.

Absolutely astonishing growth. Locally in Blaby Green Party our membership has grown by over 60% in the past month. I think we might need a bigger venue for our next social event.

Lower Bills. Protect our NHS. And invest in our communities. Let's make hope normal again. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A UK presenter shouldn’t crow about an audience’s ignorance of Nathan Gill who took bribes from Kremlin agents & was a close ally of Farage . It shows they have failed to do their job . What next , telling us that Watergate was one of the lowest points in investigative journalism 🥺 ?

Maybe there's something in this Nigel Farage and Nathan Gill Russian bribes story....

Me! And a great time to join us join.greenparty.org.uk

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Looking forward to this.

We can elect a Green Mayor in Sussex, but we need your help. 💚 Please give what you can on the link below. 👇 @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social @rachel4sussex.bsky.social @carolinelucas.bsky.social @sianberry.bsky.social @elliechowns.bsky.social

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Solidarity with all trans and intersex people having their existence debated every time a tv host hasn't done their prep and can't think of any more questions

Mental health doesn't take a day off. The Green Party is committed to ensuring mental health and physical health care are equally prioritised. That means funding major improvements in mental health care - so that all of us can access the support we need, when we need it.

The scale is consistent - each bar is 7 days on from the other and the vertical axis is at 10000 intervals. Both axes have a non-zero origin, but that's pretty standard maths.

Shutting down conversation about Russian links to Reform UK, but allowing a 12 year old sting operation by the Sun newspaper. #BBCQT priorities?

Thanks for all the really amazing support from Question Time tonight! You heard it several times (including even from Reform!): @greenparty.org.uk are surging. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk #BBCQT

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear. #bbcqt

“You can’t blame austerity on one hand, but then say it’s the immigrants. The immigrants haven’t caused austerity.” Zack Polanski takes on Reform’s Zia Yusuf over spreading of misinformation on #BBCQT

A record 1,611 people — including 11 children — died while homeless in 2024. Both Labour and the Conservatives have failed to fix Britain’s housing crisis. A home is not a privilege. A home is a human right.

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

Watching @carolinelucas.bsky.social @elliechowns.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social on a panel at @greenparty.org.uk conference. 1 million houses with planning permission not built, a further 1 million sitting empty. We don't have a housing crisis we have an affordability crisis.
