This is absolutely right. The far-right have a simple, emotive sales-pitch for policies that just won't work to fix real problems in our society. The Green Party has a proper democratic policy development process that consults experts to find real solutions. Well said @zackpolanski.bsky.social! 💚

It's only right that Zack's message is heard not only here but right around the world. The 1% are holding back the 99% globally, and destroying the planet we all share. Let's plant and nurture the green seeds of hope across the whole Earth.

Perhaps the most important thing to understand about the climate crisis

I've asked the UK government what it plans to do to tackle this questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

"Since you've got a kind voice, I've got all the time in the world" #blackmirror

"This energy!!!" 👏👏👏👏 Zack Polanski joins Rizzle Kicks out on stage in Bristol

How can we mobilise all these new people? It's a big challenge for smaller parties like us, who are starting from a fairly small capacity I mean - great problem to have, dont get me wrong 🤣 💚🥳

Keep up the campaign, Adrian! This is an important issue that's too often sidelined. Fixing the dental crisis should have been an easy first 100 days win for the LAB government, but their heads are turned by private cronydonors instead. It's time for a party that cares about health not profit

LAB politiicians seem to think that if they can just muster sufficiently robust and insistent pronunciation of the word "delivery" all will be well with the world.

Caller to s-cBBC R5L I don't recognise the Labour Party (sic) any more Plucky Campbell: Who's the one to turn it around? Caller: The Green Party Plucky: No, IN the Labour Party Caller: The Green Party! They're the ones to turn it around.

East Midlands Green Party Parties, Members and Supporters assemble! go.bsky.app/5c34JWJ If you're not on the list yet and you're in the East Midlands please comment and we can get you added.

Yesterday, Nottingham City Council joined other councils around the country in passing a boycott and divestment motion. Powerful speech in favour of the motion by the city's Green councillor below, praising the steadfastness of the people of Nottingham in opposing the atrocities.

Yesterday was a monumental day for Nottingham and the Green Party. Through the efforts of our Green Councillor Shuguftah Quddoos and Party Activist Animah , as well as countless others, a motion to Boycott, Divest, and Sanction Israel has been passed uncontested.

This is a truly disturbing moment

Audre Lorde: The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. Zack Polanski: You can’t solve a crisis with the same thinking that caused it. That means taking on the profiteers head on.

Panorama made a stupid editing mistake. But compare this to the deliberate and systemic attempt, sustained across years, to ensure that BBC output aligns ever more closely to the demands of economic power. Against your straw of bias, I raise you a haystack.

One thing to say: #AxeDrax No. Cutting down trees, grinding them up, shipping them across the Atlantic and then burning them is NOT "green". #ClimateEmergency #NatureCrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...

In a world where we are becoming increasingly inward-looking, the study of MFL is more important than ever - it’s a way of looking outwards and understanding difference. By learning to listen, understand, and communicate we learn tolerance and respect for others. Something sadly lacking these days.

England is a threat to Scotland’s national security. It always has been

We're not here to be the opposition. We're here to defeat the far right and govern with hope.

David Lammy describing the SNP as “a national security threat” in the Commons is a very dangerous moment for our democracy. The SNP is a peaceful party which got 1.3 million votes at the last Holyrood election.

👏👏👏👏 Absolutely THIS!!!! 👇

Such a mystery, what MASS DISABLING EVENT could have happened after 2019 to cause this?

#GoodNews #CitizensAssembly What a great idea: #democracy and #publicart www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

August 2024 Starmer states “those with the broadest shoulders must bear the burden” Those bearing the burden are - ☑️Pensioners ☑️Disabled ☑️Housing/UC Benefit claimants ☑️Charities ☑️Working families Those not bearing the burden - ✖️The wealth ✖️Energy companies ✖️Retailers ✖️Tech firms ✖️Donors

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies Those companies pay billions to their shareholders And then lay off their workers Think that's unfair? Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

And that has just rejected #SwiftBricks - a modest amendment to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill that would have ensured a future for beautiful birds for whom a place to nest is a matter of life and death

On Sunday, Green Party members, old and new, gathered at Wollaton Park. We've seen a record increase in membership and we decided that we should all meet! Of course, this only represents a few of us, but there are many more, and we are growing. To our new members, welcome! 💚 join.greenparty.org.uk

Looks like the Big Issue is the latest publication to go down hill and churn out rubbish articles based on a public commentator’s opinions rather than actual facts

I can work, set up business, live, study, marry, travel freely whenever & for however long I like, get free medical care, send post at local rates & buy goods without paying a border tax in & across 28 nations. Oh, no sorry, that was before #BREXIT. Please don’t let #Farage & #Reform con you again.

There is a tenderness in the ordinary, the acute noticing eye of the poet. But there something in the line break and the short penultimate line that carries us into the weight of the poem in the final line 'Every' by Wendy Cope, from Serious Concerns #poetry #poemoftheday

💚 Greens are in second place for (I think) the first time ever in a poll. 🥀 First we replace Labour. Then we overtake Reform. 📩 Help us get there: join.greenparty.org.uk

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...

The moment you want to look as though you're being horrible to displaced and unfortunate people who depend on you for mercy, you have become the instrument that the fascists need. When you hide the vulnerable in prison camps so no one can see the cruelty, you create ample space for horrors.

Reform MP Sarah Pochin not in the chamber today for #PMQs it must be because seeing our faces makes her mad…

Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96 All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing. But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did: votes.parliament.uk/votes/common...

Eliza's story is in Notts Live today. Her essential personal care has been cut as a result of Labour cllrs voting for a 'review' of high needs care packages. This is the human impact of cuts to public services. Disabled residents & unpaid carers deserve better & I'll keep amplifying their voices.

"As an Indigenous man, I know very well the pain of the forest, because its body is an extension of ours. When I speak of the body of the forest...it is everything." Powerful and important piece by Wajã Xipai on rivers, forests and interviewing António Guterres. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“These places of possibility within ourselves are dark because they are ancient and hidden; they have survived and grown strong through darkness. Within these deep places, each one of us holds an incredible reserve of creativity& power…Poetry is not a luxury.” - Audre Lorde

BREAKING: Huge double-digit lead for Scottish independence in new exclusive poll. The survey suggests Scots would vote to leave the Union if a referendum were held tomorrow 👇

Anything close to this outcome shows the shocking democratic defecit in this country Either FAIL* announce the introduction of PR now, like this week Or we should start planning for a nationwide network of citizen's assemblies reflecting vote share and prepare to launch on GE+1 *Flaggy AI Labour

Zack Polanski is being trolled by right-wing media outlets - and he’s wiping the floor with them… is this a new era in UK politics? open.substack.com/pub/jujuliag...

Makes sense to me. Why should my money be paid to overseas companies who don't deliver what they are legally contracted to do. Why should I pay multiple times for a service I initially paid for 4 years ago. Water that is clean is a right!
