YouTube video by Sky News Green Party leader reveals defection of three Labour councillors

People aren't leaving the Labour Party.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social stopped by #Handsworth yesterday and was welcomed by @edfreshwater.bsky.social of #BrumGreens in front of the #BenjaminZephania mural to show what a vibrant, diverse, integrated neighbourhood it truly is.
Don't let anyone tell you #Birmingham is not multicultural and proud!

Just finished watching #BBCQT. @zackpolanski.bsky.social was fantastic and seeing the audience respond so positively really gave me hope. Proud to be a Green party member. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ

(Just hope Zack is getting enough sleep and personal time - he's doing too important a job to risk burning out.)

Zack Polanski Must Now Transform His Fans Into Activists | Novara Media The telegenic eco-socialist has triggered an explosion of interest in the Green party, and a parallel growth in membership. Now he needs to translate enthusiasm into activity, writes Adam Ramsay.

So much energy from Green Party Conference.

Great to hear about all the local parties in England & Wales calling up their new members, inviting them to action days and getting people involved.

Let's go! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿš€

@onlyinbirmingham.bsky.social #Handsworth could teach @RobertJenrick how to live in a global society. #BenjaminZephaniah - spirit of #Birmingham - said "Handsworth for me is...where I learnt all my skills, my communication skills, my hustling skills, my poetic skills, everything."

"concrete with a heartbeat", Zephaniah called for unity, celebrating the rich diversity of our neighbourhood.

Jenrick looks small, weak and foolish by comparison.

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

The 4 people who did this 'Led by Donkeys' were arrested for this as 'malicious communications'

But it is just facts.

Exactly my take, and he's much more likely to get media exposure because, aside from their obvious right wing bias, he has a bit of click bate-ability

Starmer defends plans to curb net migration after backlash from MPs Prime ministerโ€™s โ€˜island of strangersโ€™ speech was likened to rhetoric of Enoch Powell

"In my defence" cackled the Prime Minister, "it was obvious from the outset that I was a scorpion who was lying about my fundamental nature; in many ways it's Corbyn's fault that I'm poisoning you all. After all, being poisoned is kind of a change..."
