Unfortunately, @zackpolanski.bsky.social couldn't make it to our Climate Justice march in Sheffield, but ZackMan came instead!

Look at that margin!! Great time to join us join.greenparty.org.uk

Labour’s latest attack on asylum seekers is cruel & counterproductive. How does it help community cohesion to hold threat of deportation over vulnerable people? We don’t need an arms race with the hard right over asylum, we need safe routes & European cooperation #bbclaurak

“Our greatest natural hazard is flooding, and we don’t prepare people for it.”

This is the logical consequence of Labour’s appeasement of the far right - this is an arms race Labour should never seek to win

Excellent speech from Zack www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1aQ...

Well done John

Another year, another Welsh town devastated by flooding. We're tragically unprepared for the dramatic changes to our #climate & urgently need to invest in adaptation. The longer we continue to burn fossil fuels the worse the impacts will become. #Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #Wales #Claudia #ClimateEmergency

This is how two marine biologists celebrate a long day's work securing 3000 baby corals on ropes (the "coral nursery") to grow till they're big enough to plant out on the reef. This little island has exceptional biodiversity because of active management efforts. 2 days ago they were clearing snails.

“Every few months, like clockwork, the fossil-fuel lobby resurrects its favourite zombie myth: “Renewables can’t be recycled. They’ll just end up on the trash heap.” It wasn’t true in 2015. It wasn’t true in 2020. It’s definitely not true in 2025.” theaimn.net/the-renewabl...

BREAKING: five arrested under Terrorism Act for Westminster bridge banner drop Six Prisoner for Palestine are on hunger strike, facing two years on remand without trial. Their demands include immediate bail and the end of counter terror powers against people protesting genocide.

It just keeps getting better for Zack and the Greens. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/gre...

The point of all these COPs is to stimulate action on climate change Action on climate change means ending the burning of fossil fuels Why give the biggest seat at the negotiating table to the people trying to stop the negotiations from being successful?

Greenland losing 30m tonnes of ice an hour, 20% more than previously thought This is weakening critical ocean current AMOC which is at its weakest in 1,600 years A weakening and inevitable collapse of AMOC will hugely impact climate in Europe and beyond www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

‘As Palau President Surangel Whipps has said, hosting COP31 in the Pacific cannot just be about symbolism – it must demonstrate “tangible benefits” to Pacific peoples.’ #COP30 #COP31 #auspol theconversation.com/how-pacific-...

BREAKING 🚨: COP30 is flooded with 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists. One in every 25 people inside the climate talks is working for the industry that caused this crisis. They outnumber almost every country, including those losing lives to storms, drought and heat.

It’s the product of a deliberate and systematic assault on knowledge by some of the richest people on Earth. Preventing climate breakdown means protecting ourselves from the storm of lies.

Watching Labour MPs take a wrecking ball to nature makes me so angry & so sad. Their action tonight voting down amendments to the #PlanningBill intended to protect wildlife & habitats from destruction is so reckless & so counterproductive. People didn’t vote Labour for this 👇

Greens lead, others get it eventually. We have always said democracy demanded accountability through councils, not a single elected person. One more blow to "strong leader" model. Now if Labour would just understand this about mayors www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've signed this cross party letter with many other politicians and leaders across civil society. The Labour Government is making a disastrous mistake with nuclear weapons expansion - this will not make us any safer. The opposite is true - more info below 👇🏼 @cnduk.bsky.social

Today I voted for protecting nature. The Lords added sensible, evidence-based amendments to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill to strengthen nature protection. But the govt rejected them. Ministers need to listen - to experts, to trusted organisations, and to the public.

Appalling from Rachel Reeves

We strongly condemn today’s vote in the European Parliament, where the @eppgroup.bsky.social aligned itself with far-right groups to weaken Europe’s social rights and environmental protections of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). europeangreens.eu/news/greens-...

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

Local areas can lead the way on protecting nature, making lives better and securing a safe future for all of us - but they need government to stop starving them of funds. @carladenyer.bsky.social led the way with her Climate Emergency declaration. Now time for the Government to step up.

Bottom trawling isn’t just an ocean issue, it’s a climate one too. It destroys carbon-rich seabeds & weakens the ocean's resilience. Banning it in marine protected areas is vital for our seas & in the fight against climate breakdown ✊🌎 #COP30 @euractiv.com www.euractiv.com/opinion/the-...

The @greenparty.org.uk's @elliechowns.bsky.social discusses what she'd like to see in the upcoming Elections Bill. She is speaking after our recent cross party event in the House of Commons "preventing disinformation and misinformation in campaigning".

"Housing secretary Steve Reed has told Labour MPs to vote down an amendment to the new planning bill intended to protect British wildlife and its habitats from destruction" This dire government continue its assault on British nature www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Meanwhile a tory was arguing with @GeorgeMonbiot yesterday saying the flags had nothing to do with the far-right.

30 years of COPs 30 years of rising emissions And still overwhelmingly dominated by the burning of fossil fuels

"One of the workshop’s shared diagnoses was that the climate movement must broaden its struggle beyond carbon. This means organising around people’s material realities while confronting the elites and corporations driving destruction." theecologist.org/2025/nov/12/...

'Power must be built. It's not something that can be flicked on like a switch.' Organising is hard work, but nobody is coming to save us. Megan De Meo of @unitetheunion.bsky.social speaking at our Community Organising panel last week

This puts the "solar farm is spoiling the view where I walk my dogs" complaints into perspective

When will @kierstarmermp.bsky.social acknowledge this massive threat to our national security? And when will the UK media take it seriously? www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

This is not justice. novaramedia.com/2025/11/11/p...

I wish we could ignore Bill Gates on the climate crisis. But he’s a billionaire, so we can’t | George Monbiot www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

politicians, media and large institutions deciding to stop saying 'climate change' hasn't materially reduced public conern about it or support for actions to tackle it turns out people genuinely do not want to be baked alive by the atmosphere they're in!!!

Practical amendments to provide safe and legal routes for refugees to reach the UK, and process the backlog of applications for asylum were voted on in the #HouseofLords tonight. Sadly, you can probably guess what happened

"Equally, anyone familiar with The Telegraph’s long track record of misleading climate coverage may have questions about their new-found enthusiasm for rigorous and accurate reporting.” www.desmog.com/2025/11/10/t...

I very much doubt this is technically possible, but it highlights how crucial it is to stop burning fossil fuels as soon as possible. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

250 MILLION people displaced in a world approaching 1.4C above pre-industrial temperatures. We’re on track for… 2C in years. 3C in decades. 4C likely in our children’s lifetimes. When scientists warn of BILLIONS of deaths they’re not kidding.

You may have seen that BBC News online’s Middle East editor is taking legal action against me over my work on the BBC’s editorial approach to Israel/Palestine. I strongly disagree with his claims, and, if necessary, I look forward to vigorously defending my reporting in court.

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” This is the unbelievable story of the man who said those famous words, Frederick Douglass. Born a slave. Died a global resistance leader. 🧵

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

This is a truly disturbing moment

Let's stop subsidising destruction. This Govenrment need to stop standing on the side of polluters and instead tackle the cost of living crisis. Some of my thoughts on COP 30 👇🏼 bestforbritain.substack.com/p/cop30-must...

“A sustained campaign of anti-migrant rhetoric is fuelling a growing cesspool of racism, including against international and ethnic minority nursing staff, without whom our health and care system would simply cease to function.” How disgraceful. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
