Good and bad news for Zack Polanski: the Green conference was a joy, but now hopes are stratospheric | Adam Ramsay Members loved hearing from a leader who boldly reflects their views and isn’t afraid of the rightwing press. How far can he take the party?, says journalist and Green party member Adam Ramsay

πŸš€ @greenparty.org.uk has grown from 58,000 members in December to 86,000 today.

Six years ago, consistently polling around 2%. Now, above 10%.

Green councillors leapt from fewer than 200 to nearly 900.

Green MPs from one to four.

This is the beginning.

RamΓ³n MΓ©ndez Galain, the humble professor who turned little Uruguay into a renewable energy giant

Uruguay proves renewable energy isn’t a dream β€” it’s a choice.

And it’s entirely doable β€” if politicians have the guts.

A humble professor called Ramón Méndez Galain showed the so-called leaders of Europe and the US how it can be done. 🧡

You know how 2 days ago I was really excited about us having 70,000 members of the Green Party?

Paid a visit to the London arms fair today...

Found a component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display.

Confirmed by staff, and removed swiftly by event organisers. But what else remains?

These vile weapons should never be peddled in the UK.

Last week Green Party MP SiΓ’n Berry released a full log of her first year of official meetings with campaigners and lobbyists, and is challenging all other MPs to do the same. The three other Green MPs are set to follow suit shortly.

Berry is particularly urging fossil-fuel Farage to release his...

The Great British fear factory: manufacturing a lawless London Reform UK’s β€œBritain is Lawless” campaign isn’t about making us safer – it’s about manufacturing fear for political gain

Crime is roughly half what it was in the 90s. Britain is still one of the safest countries in the developed world.

So why does Reform want you to think London’s a hellscape? The Bear provides the answer ‡️

Sharing endorsement videos is always lovely - but even more excitingly, it’s a chance to introduce some of our next generation of Green MPs.

Every time I hear Emily Fedorowycz speak, I feel hopeful about the future of the Green Party & our country.

πŸ€” It's a real mystery why Richard Tice and Reform are going so big on the whole climate science denial thing...

πŸ’° Oh wait, no it's not! They're in the pockets of big oil and gas companies!

A very good thread. Note, it remains possible that the Courts will refuse to allow Yvette Cooper to proscribe Palestine Action. The High Court on Friday held that there was, in effect, a serious question to be asked about the lawfulness of her decision.

How does the right tear down progressive societies? It starts with a joke | George Monbiot Whether it’s bloodshed at Glastonbury or starving people on benefits, their β€˜irony poisoning’ seeps obscene ideas into the range of the possible, says Guasrdian columnist George Monbiot

Obscene ideas are injected into public life with "humour" ... and then enacted. My column this week is pegged to the recent calls in the Spectator to murder people at Glastonbury, and on GB News to starve and shoot disabled people.
You could call it wink murder.
