'Just getting started': Zack Polanski reacts as Greens SECOND in new poll ZACK Polanski has welcomed a new poll putting his party in second place at Westminster.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

Rising heat kills one person a minute worldwide, major report reveals Biggest analysis of its kind finds millions are dying each year from combined effects of failure to tackle climate crisis

Burning fossil fuels warms our planet: producing toxic #AirPollution, stoking wildfires & causing drought & heatwaves.

@lancetcountdown.bsky.social's new report calls for an end to government financed fossil fuels & adoption of climate solutions to protect lives. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Police investigate alleged racial abuse of Green deputy leader Mothin Ali claims a "racist thug" threatened to "smash my head in" at a London train station.

When the Government ape the language and the rhetoric of the right - such as Starmers island of strangers speech - there are real life consequences.

Huge solidarity with @mothinali.bsky.social and everyone facing racism.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

We don’t need any more plastic tat 😞 Hate to be a party pooper but we know better don’t we? Recycle/upcycle/repurpose has to be the new normal for those who like to celebrate. It’s about time responsible supermarkets stopped stocking this sh*t. We don’t want it. ☠️ #plasticpollution #enoughisenough

Well now, this is extraordinary.

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

#HurricaneMelissa has hit.
185MPH winds. Flash floods. Landslides. Key infrastructure ruined. More than 77% of Jamaican without power.
The worst storm in Jamaican history intensifed to a category 5 in less than 24 hours.

This isn’t a “natural disaster”, this is climate breakdown.

Today's Carbon Budget Delivery Plan talks of insulating 5 million homes this Parliament. Would be a welcome pickup in pace.

But £13.2 billion is £2,640 per house. Seems far from enough. Solid wall insulation can easily cost £15-20k.

Meanwhile vast amounts going to gas power with carbon capture.

You all need to pop over to @zackpolanski.bsky.social and read his feed. Much more interesting than this drivel

When we said we don't intend to be concerned or disappointed by the Labour Government - we intend to replace them, we meant it.

Yougov have Labours lowest poll ever and Greens highest ever.

Keep going everybody.

We should all be terrified 🚨

Jamaica braces as Hurricane Melissa strengthens offshore The storm, which threatens to dump up to one metre of rain, is moving at a worryingly slow pace.

Hurricane Melissa, which could bring up to one metre of rain to Jamaica, is moving towards the Caribbean island at a worryingly slow pace.
Climate change is making tropical storms more frequent and severe, including through heavier rainfall and slower-moving storms.

YouTube video by Novara Media The Results Are In: Tax The Rich

Over 75% of people in Britain want a wealth tax — yes, that’s right, three quarters of the UK — and what’s Rachel Reeves’ grand plan? To raise income tax. Not the tax on unearned wealth, inherited privilege, or capital gains, oh no"

“Cutting off all trade negotiations with Heard Island and the McDonald Islands because the penguins refused to salute our passing aircraft. Thank you for their attention to this matter.”

What if one of the problems with democracy is that we pretend the world is made of only humans?

London Ulez reduced nitrogen dioxide to legal limit, mayor says The mayor of London says the fall in airborne toxins is due to the Ultra low emission zone expansion.

This month I announced that London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide for the first time ever.

When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than predicted.

Seeing the rightwing press publish several articles a day that all have the headline "Zack Polanski is VERY scary though!" is giving me 2017-2019 vibes. And that's GOOD. Coz things are a liiiittle bit different now out there. It'll take more than Newsnight photoshopping Russian hats to fuck this.

Honestly, the mainstream media reaction to Zack Polanski entering the elites’ own conversation space…

…with widely-held public opinions…

…tells you everything you need to know about why our mainstream media is a closed shop, broken, and no longer fit for purpose.

OK so in all honesty I was definitely pleased that @zackpolanski.bsky.social was FINALLY on Laura Kuenssberg, but I'm genuinely excited about this one. ⬇️

Zack makes it sound easy to give straight answers to catch questions. He attacks the basis of the question and then answers directly.

Every word 👏⬇️ He’s not playing the media’s game, he’s pulling the Overton window back with his bare hands ✊

This is why I like him. because he's calling out this fatuous garbage idea that Labour is a left party when they've done all they can to appease the right and antagonise the left.
Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social
