Zack Polanski: β€œWe absolutely need to stop the boats” The Greens’ Zack Polanski on facing up to Reform

"We absolutely need to stop the boats,” Polanski said, β€œbut let’s stop the boats by offering safe and legal routes to asylum and not having people clinging on to dinghies for dear life.*

Headline in the Guardian: Kemi Badenoch vows to repeal Climate Change Act - 
Tory leader says she would replace it with β€˜cheap energy’ strategy, ending decades-long consensus on climate.

Tories are dinosaurs, serving only their fossil fuel masters. They are out of touch and irrelevant.

CBI describes move to scrap Climate Change Act as a "backwards step" and say "the scientific reality of climate change makes action from both government and business imperative."

Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth.

A square campaign graphic with a solid green background. In the centre, large white capital letters read: β€œNO NEW OIL AND GAS.” The simple, bold design reflects the Green Party of England and Wales’ call to stop new fossil fuel drilling in the North Sea and to prioritise investment in clean, renewable energy.

Labour promised an end to new drilling. But new powers give Energy Secretary Ed Miliband a backdoor to expand fossil fuels in the North Sea.

Loopholes don’t cut carbon.
No new oil and gas.

The far-right are trying their best to stand up for Big Oil and scupper plans for cheaper cleaner renewables.

But renewable energy just keeps growing. Because it makes economic sense and helps bring down bills AND emissions.

While the Home Office wastes resources arresting people peacefully opposing genocide, the rise of the far right, fuelled by racist agitators and foreign billionaires whipping up hatred in our communities, continues unchecked.

The Labour-led council hands building back to Northbrook Community Trust, drained of water.
The council have run down, then dumped, this important community asset back on the Trust.
They gave them just 28 days to find a community-led solution, pulling the plug on any community efforts to save it.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us β€” and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.

The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.

That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

Green Party leader Polanski calls for Israeli president's arrest during UK visit over 'ongoing genocide' Israel has strongly denied that its actions in Gaza amount to genocide, but is being challenged on the issue in a case at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

Mr Polanski, who is Jewish, said: "Welcoming a potential war criminal to the UK is another demonstration of how this Labour government is implicated in the ongoing genocide in Gaza."

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.

That, right there, is the problem.
