Has a political broadcast ever made you feel this good, this proud, this inspired?

Instead of telling us to distrust or disbelieve another party, Zack offers us hope and a fair future for everyone.

Having spoken on several occasions with a constituent whose family continues to suffer the injustice of this cover up, I’d like to encourage you to consider signing this petition.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

At our Autumn Conference I met so many people who were bursting with enthusiasm, having found their political home with the @greenparty.org.uk.
You can find your home with us too.

🥳 I'm so so delighted that my motion for completely building East West Rail and fully electrifying it passed overwhelmingly at conference.

🙏 Huge huge thanks to @greenchloem.bsky.social , Ed Fraser and @benwheels.bsky.social for speaking in favour.

Starmer to end asylum ‘golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call ‘straight from populist playbook’

People recognised as refugees fleeing persecution & granted the right to live in the UK to be denied the right to be joined safely by their spouse & children.

This Labour govt is a moral void, a stinking darkness, an empty hollow of cowardice & contempt. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We stand with the Jewish community and everyone affected by the horrific attack at the synagogue in Manchester today.

Zack Polanski: “We've seen rising antisemitism for years, as well as rising hate crime more generally. This is about civil society, democracy, and bringing people together.”

Renewables are a masterclass in learning-by-doing. Each doubling of deployment cuts costs via experience curves: better manufacturing, finance & supply chains.

Result:

Solar now cheapest new power in many regions
Falling battery costs enable flexibility
Electrification gets more attractive

As usual, @zoejardiniere.bsky.social is spot on.

This is Starmer trying to look tough.

But his default is centralisation, authoritarian and that is deeply concerning.

Northern Powerhouse Rail plans to be unveiled 'in weeks' - amid concerns over delays Plans for Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) will be unveiled in the coming weeks, Government sources have said - amid concerns over delays to the…

Our transport spokesperson @greenmattbfd.bsky.social :

"Bradford and our district need NPR to deliver the economic boost we have been promised for years.

"Every delay sends a message that our communities are being treated as an afterthought compared with London and the South East."

homelessness crisis costs rise 25% to £2.8 billion temporary accommodation bills double in just five years instead of paying billions for temporary solutions provide 150,000 new social homes every year buy back and refurbish older council homes stop selling off council housing stock and keep social homes for local communities in perpetuity.

New figures: councils spent £2.8 billion on temporary accommodation for 2024/25 up 25% in a year

Private landlords are cashing in on this crisis

We can’t afford to ignore the need for genuinely affordable social homes – the only solution to the housing emergency.

Hey, Britain - America has already touched the stove so we don't need to do that, okay?

Yes!
I played a small part in improving party policy.
Great work by @greens4hs2.bsky.social

You can understand the Labour government's priorities by the targets they set.
