I went to @greenparty.org.uk conference - and unlike Labour, didn't get the boot.

But will the Greens succeed in convincing Labour voters - and what about the threat of Farage?

"When @rachelmillward.bsky.social reworked the old “first they came for the …” poem to add lines about how people fought back, when @mothinali.bsky.social talked about telling his son that he thinks he isn’t a good politician, but he hopes he’s a good man, many were in tears" @adamramsay.bsky.social

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Tory chair accepted £2k hospitality from developer of HMOs for asylum seekers Exclusive: Kevin Hollinrake’s conference costs paid for by firm helping landlords convert homes for lucrative market The Conservative party chair, Kevin Hollinrake, accepted thousands of pounds worth of hospitality from a company that converts family homes into houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) for asylum seekers, official records show.

Kemi Badenoch says the Tories would scrap the Climate Change Act.

That’s not leadership — it’s like betting big on whale oil lamps as electricity arrives.
Britain deserves better than climate denial.

Migration is Britain’s superpower. Our future depends on embracing that truth, not denying it | Zack Polanski Labour has lost its nerve. At our party conference this weekend, we’re gathering to set things right, says Green party leader Zack Polanski

Migration is Britain’s superpower. Our future depends on embracing that truth, not denying it | Zack Polanski

Extraordinary stuff.

We will regret not acting faster on climate change.

Zack Polanski makes the case that if you feel the world is in turmoil, one of the best things to do is be involved, to tap into that energy calling for change

"I want to see Zack Polanski disagree with more guests on his podcast"

UK faces ‘battle for the soul’ of the country, says Starmer amid Reform threat In a rallying cry to progressives around the world, the Prime Minister said allies must stop the ‘politics of predatory grievance’.

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways.

Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.”

Green membership across Great Britain has now overtaken the Lib Dems.

@greenparty.org.uk passed 78,000 last night. @scottishgreens.org have 7,800, producing a total of 85,800.

Last month, the Lib Dems told the BBC they had 83,174: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Politics doesn’t have to stay broken. Inequality doesn’t have to win.
We’ve got something better to offer — but we need you with us.

Here is the graph showing the full scale of @zackpolanski.bsky.social's impact on the party, using a true-time axis.

It shows the absolutely incredible gains the green party have made over the past week or so in membership figures!

Update: A Green Party of England & Wales spokesperson tells me they've just broken 78,000 members

Which means the party has jumped 5,000 in less than 5 days. Picking up a lot of Your Party backers no doubt

And it's up by 10,000 - about 15% - since Zack Polanski was elected leader. A big cash boost
