Green Party stands in solidarity with those seeking asylum - Green Party Ahead of more planned demonstrations this weekend outside hotels housing asylum seekers, Green Party spokesperson on Policing and Domestic Safety, Amanda Onwuemene, said: โ€œThe unrest we are seeing out...

The unrest we are seeing outside hotels housing asylum seekers and in our communities is unacceptable. The protests are the result of the deliberate spread of myths and lies about asylum seekers and refugees and are being stoked by far right

Dubbed the Yorkshire Mamdani by Peter Oborne.
We need real grassroots community activism, people from within the community standing up to make change, bussing in activists from outside is not a sustainable approach!
People that speak the language, communicate on a level, part of their community!

That was my exact ranking as well, followed by RON in both cases. So needless to say I think your judgement was excellent.

Mothin has engaged with LGBT+ people and stated that he stands alongside us and will always defend us against attacks.

He doesn't agree with the pledge system. He says track record is what people should focus on, so he doesn't give pledges. I agree. Anti-racist pledges look very empty at times.

I've voted in the Green Party elections.

Leader was easy.

- Zack Polanski

Deputy leader was much harder for me to decide, but my top four were:

- Mothin Ali
- Rachel Millward
- Ani Townsend
- Frank Adlington-Stringer

I'd be very happy with any two of them.

I voted for Zack

I voted for Zack

Voting for leader, done!

@zackpolanski.bsky.socialโ€™s vision for a bold and brave @greenparty.org.uk is exactly what we need.

Both to deliver more MPs and to hold the powerful accountable.

Youโ€™ve got until the end of the month to vote!

Green party must tap into โ€˜peopleโ€™s angerโ€™, says leadership frontrunner Zack Polanski says movement needs to widen appeal beyond urban middle classes

It's time for a basic income for farmers.

20% of the wealthiest landowners recieve 80% of the subsidies.

Meanwhile the farmers who protect our food security are often just trying to survive.

The Green Party, the TUC and RMT are 100% against Sunak and Starmer's SEZs and Freeports, all 86 of them.

Do you know the histories of SEZs?
You should, because Brexit is turbocharging deregulation as the key framework for carving out extraterritorial enclaves with their own laws separate from the host country.

We need to start describing supporters of FPTP as opponents of democracy. Millions go unrepresented. UK governments are invariably elected by a minority. We're so used to FPTP that many think of PR as a radical alternative system. That's wrong. PR is democracy. FPTP is not.
