One day left to join the Green Party and vote for bold, urgent change.

We need climate action.

We need to confront power, excess wealth and stand with the oppressed.

Proud to have the backing of climate justice leader @mikaelaloach.bsky.social 🌱✊🏽

Great to see dropped kerbs with tactile paving installed here.

This means that people who use a wheelchair are now able to cross the road.

Cllr @alastairis.bsky.social spoke to an item of opposition sponsored business titled: "Hackney’s Poor Record on Community Consultation and Engagement" and said: "If we won’t co-design changes with residents, the very least we can do is listen when they try to help us get it right."

The Home Secretary's 'one in, one out' scheme for asylum seekers is a distraction - the only way to prevent people making dangerous crossings by small boats is to provide safe and managed routes for people to claim asylum here. Shame she didn't understand my question!

Last night, Lewisham Council voted to divest its pensions investments away from companies complicit with Israel’s ongoing genocide. 

This is a massive win for the Lewisham divest campaign and demonstrates the power of activism. A few months ago, Lewisham Labour group was punishing councillors like me for bringing Palestine divestment motions, now it’s voting for them. 

The Green opposition is redrawing the political map in Lewisham and whilst I’m disappointed in Labour’s attempts to water down our motion, it can no longer backslide on this issue.

I look forward to holding the Council to its commitments as a reinstated member of the Pensions Investment Committee.

πŸ’₯ β€œZack has the right combination of communication skills, election experience and strategic nous to help us win more MPs.”

This is a major endorsement from Adam McGibbon - one of the most experienced Green organisers in the country.

Prince Andrew giving up patronage of charities had no impact When the Duke of York stepped down from 64 charities their income was not affected β€” and there is no evidence he helped raise money before then

The Royal Family are a totally irrelevant, Β£500,000,000, annual burden.

An embarrassing waste of time.

It's 2025.

If you're not old (in your 80s) or servile, you REALLY need to face facts.

P.S. They DON'T help with Tourism, either. Paris gets way more visitors than London!

Archaic nonsense.

Climate groups call for UK wealth tax to make super-rich fund sustainable economy Growing number of campaigners urge government to ensure green investment is not done β€˜on backs of the poor’

Wealth tax. Now.

"Zack Polanski, who is standing to be the new leader of the Green party, agreed there should be a wealth tax to ensure the ultra-wealthy – who are also the largest emitters – pay their fair share to tackle the climate crisis."

Proud that Newham council tonight unanimously backed my @newhamgreens.bsky.social motion to support #ZanesLaw. Thank you for Kye for joining tonight to speak to us.

What happened to Zane is a tragedy that must never happen again. Newham is now part of a national movement to change the law!

Look, when it comes to reducing channel crossings you have two main options:
1) Invent a time machine and stop Britain colonising half the world so that people do not have strong ties to the country
2) Provide safer and simpler options to seek asylum without having to use irregular routes. #r4today

The NHS is facing an existential crisis. Can Labour's 10-year plan really save it? Labour's long-awaited 10-year health plan will deliver a β€œfighting fit” NHS, says health secretary Wes Streeting. Is he right?

β€œI expect that Starmer and Streeting will decide to partner heavily with the private sector to realise their plans, and I expect they’ll try very hard to sell these ideas to the public.” 🚨
