Do we need a pact on the left?
All Green policy is voted through by Green membership.
That means if you want to see cooperation happen, you can join the Greens and make it happen.

Text:
"Enormous congratulations to Zack on his election as Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales! Commiserations to Ellie and Adrian on a hard-fought campaign.
Through his powerful campaign, Zack has already inspired hundreds of thousands up and down country. His bold vision of fighting inequality and his principled defence of migrant and minority rights against the rising far-right tide show the way forward. Only by working together can we build an economy working for people and planet, not profit.
We are heartened by Zack's support for unity on the left, and his embrace of all those willing to fight Reform and offer a clear alternative to this rotten Labour government. We look forward to working with Zack and the newly-elected Green executive to build this strong and united Left and turn the tide of British politics."
Huge congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on his election as the Leader of the Green Party!

The world's top genocide scholars are clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
But the Labour Government continues to arm, trade with, meet with and support the Israeli state committing these crimes against humanity.
Starmer, Lammy & co belong in the Hague.

From newspapers to politicians, the British Right are celebrating the racist demonisation of people seeking refuge.
Meanwhile, grannies are arrested for opposing genocide and they don't say a word.
They don't care about free speech and they don't care about freedom.

Keir Starmer used Enoch Powell's words to stoke fear of migrants & those of migrant backgrounds.
He published triumphant videos of deportations.
He's been condemned for his mistreatment of Black MPs.
It's Keir Starmer who should be kicked out of Parliament, not Diane Abbott.

In Starmer's Labour, you can arm a genocide. You can attack the poor. You can take bribes. You can stoke bigotry. You can do all this and be promoted to high office.
But if you oppose cuts to the disabled & elderly, you'll get suspended.
A morally bankrupt party.
