I don’t want to say the words β€˜I told you so’ re when the papers were insisting young ppl were flocking to Reform and I, who work with young ppl, said that didn’t seem correct to me, so I’m just going to leave this here…

My motion against mandatory digital ID has gained a lot of cross-party support.

Combined with the Govt's alarming new restrictions on the right to protest freely, these plans represent an enormous threat to civil liberties.

To enter the ballot box is to choose between two visions of Britain. Either the Hate Thy Neighbour politics of Farage/ Jenrick/ Blue Labour - or the Britain you live in and love.

There's a cost of living crisis, the NHS is crumbling, and the far right are dangerously on the rise, so it's reassuring Kier Starmer's ignoring all that and putting so much effort into this absolute fucking nonsense.

The argument that a Green vote is a wasted vote is now null.

The argument that a Green vote helps Reform by hurting Labour is now void.

The Labour Party is finished.

It's now either Farage, Reform and hate.

Or Polanski, The Green Party, hope, and decency.

Which side are you on?

Vote Green!

The Labour Party have spent no time at all criticising Nigel Farage and Reform.

When I took Reform on - Labour sat their silently.

They're now spending their time attacking me and the Green Party.

Lower bills. Tax billionaires. (And rebuild European alliances.)

Leaked plans show the government wants to cut its affordable housing targets.

At a time when rents are soaring and families are struggling, that’s the last thing Britain needs.

We need homes people can actually afford β€” not just more empty Labour promises.

The war on drugs has failed.
It punishes those with addictions, drives drug sales through the black market and ultimately kills people.

We need to grow up and make what’s so obviously the right decision.
We need to stop criminalising drugs.

This video in my home city, illustrates why the @greenparty.org.uk plan to #AbolishLandlords is desperately needed. Labour's "Build Baby Build" bollocks is about lining the pockets of property developers, not housing people! We need more COUNCIL housing! #VoteGreen πŸ’š

It is fantastic watching @zackpolanski.bsky.social getting Green Party policy into the news with taxing and regulating landlords and building council houses, decrimialising and regulating drugs and supporting addicts properly and saying that Wales and Scotland have the right to self determination.

The war on drugs clearly isn’t working. We need an urgent review of the 50 year old Misuse of Drugs Act, & to start treating drug addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal one, & get drugs out of the hands of criminal gangs #Newsnight

What, this?

It's just a story revealing that a major Reform donor sold weapon parts to a Russian supplier.

I'm sure it's not significant or consequential enough for the big outlets to trouble themselves with.

Who runs Labour’s housing policy? The biggest profit-driven big developers, that’s who.

Not councils, not Mayors with carefully Green-influenced policies, not housing co-ops or charities, not even housing associations. And definitely not homeless families.
