Is Britain’s Green Party too nice to emulate Reform UK? The party’s next leader will need to turn vibes into votes

"It's a good moment for the party to clarify that we're challenging an unpopular Labour government,” says Mr Polanski. “We are not there to collaborate with them. We’re not there to be disappointed or concerned about them. We are there to replace them.”

80 years ago, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

We remember the thousands who were killed in a crime against humanity, as well as the survivors who carried the pain of the past.

Today, let us honour them by vowing to rid our world of nuclear weapons once and for all.

This EU law banning unlocking story was untrue. The publication posting it retracted it in a subsequent story without updating the original.

Polanski said trans rights are human rights. We have to be actively anti racist. We also have to take on transphobia and be actively anti transphobic. Trans men are men, trans women are women and non binary identities exist. Lets make sure we actively defend trans people...because they need it right now.

So good to be in Brighton tonight for our South East Hustings.

We need to tackle inequality and take the fight to Reform.

All while keeping solidarity to the people who need us to show up for them.

That's what the Green Party stands for.

Palestine Action ban coupled with Online Safety Act ‘a threat to public debate’ Rights bodies say new law and proscription of direct action group create risk of censorship of Gaza-related content The Online Safety Act together with the proscription of Palestine Action could result in platforms censoring Palestinian-related content, human rights organisations have warned. Open Rights Group, Index on Censorship and others have written to Ofcom calling on it to provide clear guidance to platforms on distinguishing lawful expression from content deemed to be in support of terrorism.

Palestine Action ban coupled with Online Safety Act ‘a threat to public debate’

Jeremy and Zarah will now be working with their colleagues in the Independent Alliance - Shockat Adam, Adnan Hussain, Ayoub Khan and Iqbal Mohamed - to kickstart the founding process and make an Autumn conference a reality. They will be working with people from

A screenshot of a post by Adnan Hussain dated October 4th 2023, showing Rishi Sunak with a quote saying “A man is a man, and a woman is a woman”

A Facebook post by Adnan Hussain dated February 1st 2023 saying: “An interesting predicament the Labour Party is currently facing by ostracising women in the gender debate. What'll be even more interesting will be to see where British Muslims, traditionally Labour leaning, will find themselves in this culture war. Do politics override fundamental beliefs?”

“Your Party” seems to house those with anti-trans views from the start with Adnan Hussain being involved in setting up the conference. I know the whole thing is members will decide policy/platform but can we blame trans people for fearing politicians putting their fingers on the scale against us?

i'm sure starmer's botched brexit policy couldn't possibly have had anything to do with labour losing in 2019.

starmer's labour party has opened the door for a far-right victory. labour isn't entitled to people's votes or support – they must earn it.

im proud to have voted for zack!

Voting is open. Zack Polanski

#BackZack

personally i'm still making my decision w.r.t. how to rank (and whether not to rank some of) the candidates for deputy leader. in-fact, do you know if we're able to submit votes for some roles then go back and fill in the others later?

ballots close on the 30th at midnight!

reminder to my green followers!
make sure you go out and vote for zack in the leadership elections tomorrow

minorities: keir starmer is the most bigoted prime minister we've had in decades.

straight white cis ppl: pfft. you're talking nonsense!

I would rather die than create an account to continue

Zack Polanski’s ‘eco-populism’ could put voters off Greens, opponents say Exclusive: Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns say party could slide into irrelevance if it chooses new leader with ‘polarising’ approach

This last minute critique of our campaign is right about one thing: the choice is clear.

Timid incremental change or bold leadership that both builds a movement and wins on the ground.

Members: it’s your call.
