Just wanted to add (seeing as I've put other thoughts on this out here) that I didn't necessarily disagree with the answers the ZP gave. I agree with much of what he said. However, leadership isn't about semantics; it should be about harnessing power for good.

Thank you. Airing my decision out here as I've been challenged a LOT privately about my support of GP and ZP, especially. Jewish Greens were a great group to meet and happy to contribute to those conversations.

In the meantime, I will watch from outside the party. I am likely to continue to vote Green locally. Perhaps I'll return. Perhaps.

Perhaps he'll stay and recover. Perhaps he'll also learn and adjust. Perhaps he'll improve and take the party into serious politics. I want that to happen. The alternative, that we lose the pressure for big change on environment and economy - and the Greens disappear again, is not what I want.

Very disappointed with (an admittedly very tired) @zackpolanski.bsky.social on BBC radio this morning. Not because he bungled the traps NR kept putting in front of him. But because he couldn't lift his answers towards the country at large and out of the conference hall. I'm afraid I'm out.

For now. The lack of leadership, the depressing details emerging, and the organisational shit show might be about to change that. I'm not sure I can help save a party that won't save itself.

It turns out that I was wrong, and @zackpolanski.bsky.social is not only tone deaf, but also unable to look at the big picture. I am reviewing my membership of the @greenparty.org.uk - as I already financially support lots of protest groups. I had hoped I'd joined a political party.

Today, It is possible to mourn the deaths of October 7th, decry the barbarity of the killing, and hope for those families to find peace WITHOUT making a wider statement about Gaza. Tomorrow, there is time to oppose the Israeli State and its actions. If you can't do this, feel free to un- follow

For the sake of a slogan achieving nothing except great concern and distress to British Jews, Green members have probably destroyed any hope that a party - their party - which consistently and clearly opposes the #genocide will join the next government. Genius. 🤦‍♂️ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I agree Mary. I try so hard to express nuance - but it gets very little traction. I've been pushed to be more 'algorithm friendly' with @whojewthinkur.bsky.social and refused. Crazy how phonics is as much a battle as those other issues - but not surprising.

Yup - exactly that. Not sure Zack P is deaf to this - as growing a populist movement means looking outside the conference corridors to the country at large. That does NOT mean compromising on values - but it does mean representing a wider group than the small %age of activists.

Their online conference set up is an actual joke. I don't know if you tried to attend virtually and vote but it is a total shambles.

I want a strong message about the environment. I want a strong message that critiques late stage capitalism. I want to talk about the hard topics. I also think the Polanski populist effect is positive. Membership might be a step too far for me too. Also...

I am trying very hard to hold on to my view that I can't expect any party to represent every aspect of my own opinions. This does feel like there remains a core set of people who attend conference who are not interested in making positive change - and would rather wave angry flags. Overall, though

Eylan Ezekiel @eylanezekiel.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
I joined the Greens because I hoped that the party was evolving beyond protest, and towards politics. Based on what I could see of the conference, online, around this topic, I was wrong. I agree with @carolinelucas.bsky.social I won't be leaving the party, but I am very sorry this happened.

Brilliant @amyremeikis.bsky.social piece here - absolutely gut-wrenching that Nepal PM's speech got buried under the nonsense of AI doom-hype. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...
“We have built a world with flawless logistics for war, and broken logistics for food, and this is not Nepal’s private misfortune. Ask Bangladesh, ask Bhutan, ask India, ask the Maldives, ask Pakistan, ask Sri Lanka, ask any other country in our region, and you’ll hear the same account.

“Hit by the climate, we did not warm, and again hit by the wars, we did not start.”

Shah is right. Nepal contributes less than 0.1 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. It does not have the institutional or global power to force change, even as its people are swamped by the consequences of inaction.

“Our glaciers are retreating, our mountain slopes are becoming unstable, our rivers are becoming less predictable and every major disaster threatens to erase years of development,” he told the UN.

Discussion of PISA results on BBCR4, and grateful that Seldon is on to challenge @daisychristo.bsky.social . The claim that PISA is a metric that can be used to continue the Trad/Prog : KR/Skills false binary - and that issues in Scot/Wales are down entirely to curriculum choices; is daft.
