Just trying on some of the new @greenparty.org.uk merch available at conference 👕😅💅 #CarlaSaysWealthTax #GPC25

“We can choose decency or we can choose division” says Labour Prime Minister whose first acts as Labour leader were to ditch the 10 pledges which united the party and got him elected leader before instigating a Labour Left purge including smearing & expelling the predecessor he'd called a friend

Starmer's speech was interesting for taking his most explicitly anti-Blairite, social democratic position since 2020. However a) nobody believes a word he says and b) the scale of the reforms is so inadequate to the crisis that he still comes off as not really understanding it.

Good. This is an important victory. It's a stain on our democracy for Michelle Mone to remain in the House of Lords. But it's even more important that the Tory ministers who set up the corrupt PPE VIP lane in the first place are properly and fully held to account for the scandal

"Greens with their rising influence and bold politics stand ready to replace Labour’s tired ideas and stale politicians." @zackpolanski.bsky.social responds to being included in this year's Time100 Next list 💚

They really were dragged into it. What an awful government they are.

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

When you become a member of yourparty.uk, you join a mass movement for real change.

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

Fight for a different future. For your class. For your community. Become a member of Your Party now!

People want lower rents. They want cheaper bills and publicly-owned services. They want an NHS that works. Why can’t this government just do things that would actually improve people’s lives? We can fix this country. We just need the political will.

I don't join anything lightly but I've done it, I've just joined the Green Party. @zackpolanski.bsky.social you've convinced me!

I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country. They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends. We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Just the President of the US telling the United Nations that the UK wants to go to Sharia law. How in the fuck did anyone look at this brainless sack of shit and say “Yep, that’s the guy to run the most powerful nation on earth”?

The Green Party now has 78,000 members. Thats 10,000+ new members this month alone who want to draw the line. I know there are so many more people who want to take a stand. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

Labour recognises the State of Palestine while sending Israel weapons and providing intelligence designed to exterminate Palestinians and destroy Gaza & the West Bank

"We’ve done ... 25 or 30 projections since we’ve been going. Often the police come along & we have a chat to them, and they .. occasionally tell us to not do it. But no one’s ever been arrested before, so it is ridiculous that four of our guys have been arrested for malicious communications"

It is my mission to see solar panels on as many roofs as possible. Great to catch up with @bhesco.bsky.social at one of their projects and hear about the new community energy scheme with residents in Preston Park #Brighton. Lots more here 👇 bhesco.co.uk/community/pr...

Every single Labour MP & MSP should resign or defect to Greens. They are ALL complicit in genocide by contributing to/remaining in a genocidal party. The time has passed for such a thing as a good labour party member. Not under Starmer. Anyone with conscience should join YourParty or Greens.

While the far right pretend to be patriots they desecrate the memory of thousands of British soldiers & civilians who fought & died, were maimed, lost loved ones to keep the UK free from fascism "Our ancestors defeated the Nazi's and so will we." via @theleftbible.bsky.social

This government could have taken on the super-rich to tackle inequality. They chose to fan the flames of racism and embolden the far-right instead. Our country needs a change in direction, now. It’s time for a real alternative that redistributes wealth, ownership and power.

Why is is so hard for people to say these words?: Lough Neagh, the UK's biggest lake, is being killed by *livestock farms*.

Since the Supreme Court ruling, there has been a surge of transphobic hate promoted by the far-right and those who seek to divide our communities. We must resist this rhetoric and bring about true social equality for all.

Pupils at Redland Green School ask great questions! They told me about the issues they care about - from the conflict in Sudan to the cost of housing to what uniform they wear. And they went away knowing more about how to make their voices heard.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

You know how 2 days ago I was really excited about us having 70,000 members of the Green Party? Well yesterday it was 71,000. And today - yes. It's now 72,000! 🎉💚🎉 Join.greenparty.org.uk

2. The craven appeasement of powerful lobby groups, which, in the absence of a moral compass, have been able to steer this government any way they want. 2/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We have struggled to explain the Starmer government. But I think the explanation comes down to two simple forces: 1. A visceral, obsessive hatred of the Labour left. Any progressive policy, however necessary and popular, looks to the inner circle like a dangerous concession to the left. 🧵1/2

🗨 "This isn't about pitting the problems British people are facing against migrants." Green Party leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social makes the positive case for migration on Sky News.

Why is the Government so tragically unenterprising when it comes to electric buses? TfL has been procuring only electric buses since 2021, but Govt wants to wait until at least 2030 for a national mandate. Dirty air is a killer, we need #EllasLaw and much (!) more ambition.

I think we're well beyond "asking questions." Arrest him. www.arabnews.com/node/2614718...

Jeremy Corbyn called the 890 people arrested at a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in London’s Parliament Square on Saturday people of “principle” and “courage.” www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/pale...

Zack Polanski, "Let's subsidise good behaviour, rather than subsidising fossil fuel companies, oil and gas" "There's no coincidence that this Labour government took £4.1 million from a hedge fund that have assets in oil and gas, arms and gambling"

I'm absolutely thrilled that the Green Party has reached 70,000 members! 🎉 The movement for a better politics is growing fast. Join the Green Party today to help achieve brighter, greener futures for all💚 join.greenparty.org.uk

So either Nigel Farage lied about buying a house in Clacton, when he wanted to pretend he gave a shit about the place, or he lied about it being his girlfriend's house, when he was caught avoiding stamp duty. Either way he's a lying chancer.

Lots of this and it's very very exciting!!!! Let's take on this failing Labour Govenrment and take the fight to Reform. Join.greenparty.org.uk

🌍✊ The Green Party stands with UCU members. @zackpolanski.bsky.social (Leader of the Green Party) and @carladenyer.bsky.social (former Co-Leader) are backing our campaign for fair pay and conditions. We are the university. We are the movement. Vote YES. #WeAreTheUniversity

Say what you like about Reform, but they certainly know how to put on a conference.

Green leader Zack Polanski calls for Farage’s resignation over tax, on BBC Any Questions: "Farage has changed his personal business to make sure he could avoid tax for his appearances on GBNews. That’s perfectly legal, but is that in the Nolan Principles? Absolutely not. [He should] step down too.”

Behind greed lies fear. What if you'll need more later? Make a pile. Just to be safe, hoard. You don't want to be in a position where you regret not having hoarded enough. What if by guaranteeing survival, we can reduce this fear that drives hoarding? What if universal basic income can reduce greed?

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nadine Dorries has defected to Reform. I'm shocked that Reform UK would appeal to a monumentally thick, spiteful, entitled, self-serving moronic fuckwit.

New column! I visited the ingenious team behind Gomi, a Brighton studio creating speakers and phone backs from non-recyclable plastic. Trump's tariffs are hitting our small businesses hard, and Govt must do more to oppose his divide and rule tactics. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2542937...

The #Wyescapes project in my constituency is a testament to the dedication of farmers battling agricultural pollution and protecting our farmlands—but they can’t do it alone. Farmers need much more govt support to scale up these vital measures and invest in #RiverFriendlyFarming.

I often think about this letter to the New Statesman. It's from a 1960s Tory, and neatly summarises how British politics has shifted massively to the right, and taken Starmer's Labour party with it. #PoliticsLive

Let's give the Epstein victim's presser today the highest possible ratings we can. Put it on all your TV's and stream it on your phones and tablets. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #BelieveTheVictims
