Labour Government thinks they can distract you tinkering around the edges. But refuse a wealth tax, rent controls, water nationalisation, an end to genocide & an end to oil & gas. They need to know the Green Party is growing & won't be distracted. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Heatwave 5 of 2026, which Oli Dugmore has expressed that his daughter (100 days old as of his recent article) has experienced 1/3rd off her life under red and yellow heat warnings. Which is a horrible statistic.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social really important question. As the is not a green candidate for the 14 August by election in Clacton. If a Green Party member were to do doorstepping and leafleting for Count Binface, would they be asked to leave the party? I am aware of the rules and statutes, but still 🤷

@zackpolanski.bsky.social If Starmer steps down and causes a by-election in Holborn and St Pancras is that going to be your by-election? Or are you focusing on the GE to stand yourself? (Both are 100% Valid, one is funnier though)

@zackpolanski.bsky.social would it be too Bold to request short interviews for your podcasts from some local election candidates? Maybe have them answer some questions on camera and send them in for a super cut?

Remember when that poll came out that was good for the Greens, and all the usuals said it was an outlier and they would wait for the other polls, and when they said the same thing everyone had gone quiet and disappeared? That, every month for the last six months and for the next three years.

The march in London on 28 March was so lovely, and full of hope! Due to the number it took a LOT longer than planned, but despite not making it to Trafalgar in time to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social and Hannah Spencer on stage, I did manage to catch Mark Steel half way in!

I never miss an opportunity to recommend Behind the Bastards A podcast about the worst people in history, but also includes a lot of their comeuppance and how their true identity can be demystified (as well as a healthy dose of Macheticine) Should last you about 4 years before you catch up

2nd in the polling, increase in membership to over 200,000 from previously 68,000 That is rather successful in the absence of a general election happening today.

I had a nice conversation with the 2nd person to try and find common ground where we were debating his concerns with the fear of a Farage led government. Until he claimed I was a bit for having the time to research his claims. 2 days later, he replied with this to another person on the thread. COPE

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

I tried, but my dachshund just stole socks, and my Durcher just did spins throwing the clothes across the room. Verbal warning already given, so i had to escalate to written but the dachshund ripped it up. Now I have no socks, have to pick up the clothes, and sweep up the letter.

I'm getting a bit sick of "they don't mention the environment often" The Greens brand is environmentalism. Social structures impact the environment. You wouldn't get annoyed at Greggs for advertising "we do Tea, Coffee, and sandwiches" because they didn't mention Sausage roles and steak bakes.

The actions of the "peace president" of the United States led to this, and will impact everyone. It should be easy for the UK Government to see that this will directly impact us and stand up for international law. Ornat least realise renewables would protect from shocks www.bbc.com/news/article...

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran. Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe. Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Journalism's job isn't to "give both sides a platform." It's to be a gatekeeper of reality. If one side is selling fire and the other is selling water, "objectivity" isn't saying "both have a point about the house burning down." 🧵9/10

The Playbook is the same: Trump 2020: "Rigged Election." Farage 2026: "Sectarian Voting." It’s not about proof; it’s about Institutional Erosion. If you report the accusation without leading with the lack of evidence, you are the megaphone. 📢 🧵8/10

How to fix it? The "Truth Sandwich" 🥪 Start with the Fact: "UK elections remain high-integrity." Report the claim briefly: "Farage alleged fraud without evidence." End with the Fact: "Independent observers confirmed no systemic issues." Don't let the lie be the bread. 🧵7/10

When the media covers every stunt, it creates a "mirage of momentum." In the UK, we see this with Reform UK. Constant coverage makes a party polling at 16% (2024) feel like they are "taking over the country." It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy which led to the high for 31% (now falling) 🧵 6/10

Demagogues don’t need you to agree with them; they just need you to not talk about their opponents. By fueling "outrage of the day," the media leaves zero minutes for actual policy debate. If you’re reacting, you’re losing. It's practically algorithmic 🧵5/10

"Sanewashing": This is the most dangerous habit in 2026 journalism. It’s when a candidate says something incoherent or radical, and a reporter rewrites it into a professional-sounding policy. Cleaning up their rhetoric is not analysis it's tantamount to a service for them 🧵4/10

In 2016, Trump received ~$2B in free "earned media." Why? Because he was "good TV." 📺 Journalists treat outrage as "newsworthy" when it’s actually "marketing." Farage is now doing the same, dominating 80% of the cycle with 1.23% of the MPs and 28% in the polls. 🧵3/10

Don't want to be a downer but I need to get this off of my chest. The global media has not learned much since 2015. Be it the nearly $2 Billion in free advertising for Trump in the election against H.Clinton, the handling of Brexit journalism, Trump v Biden, Trump v Harris, and now Reform. 🧵1/10
