I think @zackpolanski.bsky.social is exactly right.

@greenparty.org.uk needs to break out of its habit of communications, be more exciting, and engage with people in language that they're willing to listen to.

Zack writing a message on the Hiroshima Tree outside the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament

Zack writing a message on the Hiroshima Tree outside the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament

A nuclear free world won’t come from wishful thinking or just warm words.

What’s so often missing in politics is diplomacy, humanity & a genuine commitment to our real security beyond the arms industry.

It was an honour to send a message via @cnduk.bsky.social to Hiroshima: Never Again.

UN experts call for immediate dismantling of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation 05 August 2025

41 UN experts call to immediately dismantle the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation."

Says it's "an utterly disturbing example of how humanitarian relief can be exploited for covert military and geopolitical agendas in serious breach of international law."

Calls to hold it & the executives accountable.

It’s estimated that half a million Americans declare bankruptcy every year due to medical debt.

Farage wants us paying for medical insurance and a privatised NHS.

Is this something you want in the UK?
We don’t.

Petition: Apply for the UK to rejoin the EU fully - do not just 'reset' the relationship I think the UK needs to rejoin the EU fully for maximum economic benefit and to restore influence rather than merely 'reset' relations.

If you’d be kind enough to repost this it would really help. Thank you.

All you here who voted remain or would vote to rejoin

But sure it wasn't about stealing land.

It was self defence.

Israel as a society is immoral.
Unethical.
And really has no right to exist now, it is an illegal terrorist rogue state.

Why would Lindsay Hoyle block the release of his emails to Israeli Politicians.

What could be in there?

Bribery? Blackmail? Knowingly covering up War Crimes?

Or all 3?

The Israeli war cabinet reportedly met on Monday to choose between ending the war in favor of ceasefire talks or expanding it to reoccupy the entire Strip. According to initial reports, Netanyahu has ordered the Israeli army to “conquer Gaza.”

Isn't it anti-Semitism to claim to be Jewish when saying (and even worse doing the genocide) those things that are against the Ten Commandments, and all laws of decency and morality?

Agreed. It should 100% be illegal. Politics in the UK is corrupt. It needs cleaning up, but the establishment parties are as bad as each other.

The rise of individualism is indeed a problem. But it is also about being time rich, and as more people are hurt by the cost of greed crisis and capitalism, finding time to slow down and garden is becoming rarer.

Dead right 🤬
@hastingsgreenparty.bsky.social

There are some people who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing! How do we teach future generations about gardening and growing things ( and how easy it is!) without allotments ?
Tragically, not everyone has a garden or balcony.

"Israel allowed just 86 trucks of aid into Gaza on Monday. That's just 14% of the 600 trucks needed each day to meet the basic minimum needs of the desperate population"

I suppose the Suffragettes had no impact on women's votes either?

Protests are better than no protests, campaigning is better than not campaigning. They let the world know we're watching, the victims know they aren't alone.

The alternative to inaction is complicity.

How much aid has entered Gaza? Gaza faces famine as convoys are delayed and deaths from hunger rise amid Israel’s ongoing military assault.

Zara Sultana is right. The choice is socialism or barbarism. The Green party can become irrelevant or we at Greens Organise can make the Green party the cutting edge of the fight for socialism.

We must address transphobia, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, ableism and any other form of hate in the Green party through education and stronger measures against those who spread it.

Why I'm standing for the Greens Organise Steering committee:

Farage and his far right Reform Party are on track to be running the country unless we stop him. There is racist violence on our streets for the second summer running.

We need an alternative political voice out there.
