The far right are a bunch of hypocrites, Ex-BNP Lee Twamly faces conviction for illegally smuggling migrants across the channel! Twamley is also part of the 'Raise the Flag' movement. These people don't have a leg to stand on, they are common racist criminals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvpg...
"How can you take on Man City when you want to score goals against them and they want to score goals against you? These are opposites!"
Question to Zach Polanski at the leadership announcement: "Q: How can you take on Nigel Farage when your policy on immigration is so different?" Everything wrong with British politics and media summed up so succinctly in a single absolutely unhinged question.
New leaders, new energy and a renewed drive to win in London. So proud of @zackpolanski.bsky.social campaign & win! Here with @dylanmlaw.bsky.social and our new Deputies @mothinali.bsky.social @rachelmillward.bsky.social

I'm sure there will be more videos soon. Here's an article from May. www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/06/z...

Polanski wins by landslide. Mothin Ali deputy...
Welcome!
Still Labour posting a Sun hit piece (a funny incident from before he was a politician) is likely to do more damage to them than to Zack!
Absolutely smashed it. Transphobia does not pay on the left. Lessons for Labour, Your party, or any other party that relies on the votes of people whose brains are not rotted by right wing propaganda.
And 20,000 other members did too, its a landslide www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #BackZack #GreenParty
Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Zack Polanski is the new leader of the Green Party with 20k votes to 3k! Huge mandate! Congratulations @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Not saying the UK is much better, here we have racists painting the St George flag on our zebra crossings :(, representing the days of colonialism and butchery of The British Empire... There's a reason we don't like flag shaggers.
Great explainer: The ECHR is protecting everyone in the UK 🚨 "Reform has touted its plan as a 'legal reset'. But it is better understood as a total rejection of the UK’s postwar international commitments to protect the human rights of everyone within its jurisdiction." https://bit.ly/3JYzaI8
It's a failure of the country that equal rights and no bothering of people for their identity or sexual preferences is considered political. Supporting people and uniting should just be the natural default. Dominance by power+wealth hoarding is anti-society pathology, not legitimate politics.
Eep. No I wasn't aware. Every time you think you understand how backwards and dystopian America is you find out something that makes it worse.
An 81-year-old woman is among 47 more people charged for allegedly showing support for the proscribed group Palestine Action during protests this summer. More than half of those charged today are over 60. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... Sign up: wedonotcomply.org
I mean this is clearly a 'Both, both is good' situation. It's not the flag of a colonising capitalist extremist state they're painting, but a symbol of unity and celebration of diversity.
Bad faith actors will tell you that wealth taxes are impossible. Their game is obvious and we won’t play it. We’ll tax the rich, whether they like it or not. 💪
What the Tories?
Will Sam Coates be giving any attention to the Green Party leadership results tomorrow if it was Reform that they would get an entire week, including leadership hustings Yet for the other smaller parties they get sweet FA from both Sky and the BBC Maybe time to ask questions in the Hoc
I will also add that the @greenparty.org.uk have the same no. of MP's as Reform yet nowhere near the same level of coverage. Reform are where they are in the polls, largely thanks to the mainstream media's relentless amplification of them! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/713798
Interesting way of saying that the UK is shifted to the extremist right.
The state of Palestine should have been recognised long ago. Yet still the Labour government insist on using Palestinian lives as a bargaining chip. Recognise Palestine now.
Instead of stuffing landlords' mouths with gold to get them to rent properties to homeless people, we should be building council houses or flats to meet this basic human need. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Labour could have made the case for a humane immigration system that treats refugees with dignity and respect. Instead, they have fanned the flames of racism and emboldened the far-right. My piece for @tribunemagazine www.tribunemag.co.uk/2025/09/labour-is-paving-the-path-to-fascism
Another day, another utterly shameful cruelty against refugees announced. Recognised refugees - so people granted the long term right to stay in the UK because they have escaped real danger - will face new barriers to reuniting with spouses & children safely in the UK #r4todat
Note it claims all the parties, but that's another case of people ignoring the Greens, who don't accept large donations.
Don't just take my word for it though electoral-reform.org.uk/campaigns/up...
That's because the neoliberal concept of the market doesn't match the realities of our society.
Gary's Economics blasts 'childish' arguments against wealth taxes "Correct implementation on tax policy is a job of experts and government and and civil service. It is not the job of fucking YouTubers". Yes mate. www.thecanary.co/trending/202...
"A politician who uses her voice clearly and loudly for the oppressed, weak and voiceless Principled not careering Thank you" via Margaret Batty
What that means is it'll be fine for the corporate CEO class and the parasite class of ultra wealthy.
Possibly, but not necessarily directly. Trevor Chin was a key name in Starmer's campaign funding, and the declaration of his donation withheld until after voting closed... Wonder why they did that if everything was legit?
Check the donations they're public record. Lots of rightwing corporate types. But yes, there is a shift of extremist oligarch support from blue Tories to Starmer, and then to Fartage.
"Going from the just left of centre supporters of Jeremy and Zarah, to the classic Tory right. But otherwise yes you are correct, only the extremists are getting media attention and support.
I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
@news.sky.com Hi Sky News, why are you constantly platforming far-right Tice?
Just highlighting that the propaganda service can't help but know and still persist in presenting lies as if they were true, and stiring up riots and hate by doing so.
Propaganda distribution service, not News
Oh, the BBC doesn't need to be reminded - they know - they are close enough to opinions left and right to be aware of this. The more salient question is, why do they keep saying what they know to be incorrect? And is there an answer other than, "They are a component of right wing propaganda"?
Nandy is part of Starmer's Tories, no chance there.
It drives me crackers when I hear them. It's totally unnecessary just stirs the pot & makes things easier for Farage & co.
For god’s sake someone remind the bbc.
Slippery slope, and this Starmer's Tories have no intention of getting off the gravy train as it leads to Fartage's rioters being enabled and encouraged.
I was volunteering at a museum this afternoon and the subject of the government came up. Without prompting the other volunteer and the staff member both said that the Greens are our *only* hope for the future. I'm quite choked up!
It seems that was what Starmer was funded to do, destroying the Labour party and making a government that appeases or supports genocidal terrorist states, weapons manufacturers and legitimises extremists like Fartage's deform.
This is Labour today, doing Farage's work for him. bsky.app/profile/impl...

Israel’s three largest arms corporations, which all supply the Israeli military, have been allowed by the UK government to exhibit at the DSEI London arms fair in September: 🇮🇱 Elbit Systems 🇮🇱 Israel Aerospace Industries 🇮🇱 Rafael caat.org.uk/data/arms-fa...
People’s homes are being stormed by far-right groups. The govt. Is saying nothing about how violence like this will not be tolerated. Where is Starmer’s “law and order” now? They’ve no control and we are moments away from someone being killed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Excellent. Thank you. The ECHR helps to protect everyone from the cruelty of authoritarian regimes. Reform voters be warned. Britain would be a far better, happier place with independent media, like Byline and their contributors, who write and report factual, truthful information. 🙏 support them

youtu.be/NtL_wjaw9Ek?... F***ing morons! Do I think everyone should have a right to vote? (Generally, yes, but not if they’re incredibly stupid and haven’t done their research; because it condemns all of us to their beyond stupid harmful decisions)
....and that's it. Results on Tuesday! There's so many thank yous to come across the entire country but I'd request a huge collective thank you of @naranee.bsky.social who's voluntarily Campaign Managed for 4 months (!!!) All the love & thank yous, Naranee. You've been exceptional.

This whole summer only one story has dominated our entire politics & it comes down to literally 30,000 people in hotels. Ridiculous. The government needs to get a GRIP it’s pathetic.

I've been heavily invested in two Labour leadership races and one Unison leadership race and you have shown them all up and have absolutely shown how it's done. Courageous, passionate, determined, unflinching, principled, inspiring, tireless, compassionate and somehow always good humoured.

Quick, cheeky final day interview! Voting for the Green Party Leadership & Executive Elections closes at midday Saturday. Voting link below. 👇🏼 youtu.be/7_qea8dS-mA?...
I interviewed @anist.bsky.social for the Green Party deputy leadership elections at the end of June and voting is still not finished. Wild.
When it is being popular with honest messaging and our Green values definitely. Very few like the establishment MP in a suit talking in technical terms and being tentative.
The Green Party has just elected an ecosocialist populist as leader! Yes Ross Greer is co-leader of the Scottish Green Party. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Huge congratulations! Excited for the future of the Scottish Greens! 💚
💚 Congratulations, Gillian and Ross!
Military intervention now. Occupy Israel, arrest all gov ministers, hold war crime trials. How you deprogram an entire genocidal population though is difficult. Europe never managed it and look at us now.
This. Is. So. Incredible. Everyone should know this. Including the utterly stupid person I spoke to the other day that was ambivalent about Reform. Unfortunately he’s vanished into the ether

Unless we get admin officials or legislation targeting trans people referencing the shooter, I do not feel a need to cover the identity of a monstrous murderer. The same people who hated us before hate us today and will tomorrow. Should concrete actions necessitate coverage, I'll cover as always.
People are different, and that's ok
I think you'll be proven wrong. :)
You don't just hear a @zackpolanski.bsky.social speech. You feel it. Zacks' Deputy Leader conference speech last year was visceral in power. Please #VoteZack so we get to hear his Leaders one! Ballot.greenparty.org.uk
Sorry I’m posting so much about this Strange New Worlds. Generally if I just dislike an episode I’ll stay quiet. But I find this episode so abhorrent, even if the best of times, but especially given the times we’re in - I feel a need a prominent Trekkie to be vocal about it and not let it slide.

Not just the young, the mental health crisis is a cover for a good portion of the population struggling to survive and constantly being under pressure, anxious and feeling like it's not supposed to be like this. The disconnect between those feelings and modern life is the cause of the "crisis".
You will not have heard of them because they were rubber-stamped with primary legislation, then quickly embedded with secondary legislation, meaning zero parliamentary debate, zero consultation with the public, and zero press conferences.
Brits, you should read this Labour policy paper 'Industrial Strategy Zones Action Plan', published June 23rd 2025, because this is going to impact your lives for the next 25 years, that is the duration of the licenses on all deregulated free zones. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Which is a scary take given the real world context we live in.
It’s the strip-mining of Trek’s meaning into pure vibes—uncritical “yay utopia future franchise” energy, same as “America is good ’cause it’s America.” And I don’t even think it’s malicious; the writers just wanna venerate their fave sci-fi franchise instead of making it say anything.
