Zack Polanski: I went on Question Time - I was blown away by the response The response has been quite overwhelming.

Zack Polanski: I went on Question Time, I put to Reform that their former leader in Wales was in the pocket of Putin, taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia while an MEP, they had no answer, because patriots don’t peddle for Putin. metro.co.uk/2025/10/10/z...

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social: "Nigel Farage is a man of the wealthy people."

We asked new Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who describes himself as an eco-populist:

Why does the UK need more populism right now?

"A Leader who speaks to the deep frustrations in our rural towns...."

Leda Schiltz is a former staff member who knows what it takes to win and succeed. She's been there and done it!

Really appreciate this powerful endorsement.

“Thousands of Londoners are stuck in cold, damp and mouldy homes while their bills keep climbing, It’s unbelievable that despite having the funds available to fix this, councils are sitting on the money year after year”. Zack Polanski, Deputy Leader of the Green Party.

Reform are correct to challenge the old establishment politics.

They're not anti establishment, though!

They literally are the establishment.

@greenparty.org.uk will challenge the status quo and defend people and planet.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

A graphic with YES WE CAN at the top and underneath, Pass the Climate and Nature Act. It then says: Exeter Greens are calling on the Labour-led Council to write to Exeter’s two MPs, Steve Race and David Reed, to ask them to support the Climate and Nature Bill as it progresses through Parliament, in particular at its second reading in the House of Commons on  24 January 2025.
There is a call to action: Contact your MP at http://action.zerohour.uk

❓Do you want to see a Bill which requires the UK to achieve climate and nature targets
❓And gives the Secretary of State a duty to implement a strategy to achieve those targets
💚So do we.
🗣️But our local MPs need persuading. Our motion to Council tonight, if supported by Labour cllrs, will help.

An image of house roof timbers on a house construction and a quote from Green group leader on Exeter City Council. She says: Labour-led Exeter City Council must bend the ear of government and tell them firmly that the city needs the right homes in the right place at the right  price. Any planning policy that fails those tests is not fit for purpose.

Our response to Labour’s National Planning Policy Framework.

Painting the local planning process as the ‘block’ on achieving housing targets is misguided and an insult to local democracy.
