First panel at the Green Party Conference on one of the most important issues that we face

Ian Middleton @ianmiddleton.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It's been the same old story down the ages. Use fear as a foundation for a simplistic populist movement to put extremists in power to facilitate their warped ideologies backed by rich people who want to become richer by avoiding the rules, checks and balances that keeps the majority of us safe

Yet more student accommodation being proposed within the city centre. I wonder if the City Council are going to approve this one like they have all the others, whilst crying crocodile tears about the lack of affordable housing within the area. www.thisisoxfordshire.co.uk/news/2658213...

Interesting conference yesterday with some great insights from experts and campaigners looking to reduce our impact on the planet. Some really good conversations with fellow local leaders and activists. Looking forward to working together with some of them going forward. Really nice vegan lunch too!

A Zack Polanski win would matter. We need a strong left opposition, more Green MPs in Parliament, and Zack Polanski right at the heart of it.💚

A good analysis of the whole Sheeran debacle. Any public figure or artist needs to have credibility on issues like Gaza. In an increasingly shrinking world, refusing to take a stance against genocide and war crimes is political statement in itself jonathancook.substack.com/p/ed-sheeran...

Ed Sheeran just learnt: Being pimped by the billionaires for genocide is a bad look

We must keep prising the fingers of the billionaire class off our throats until it is only the discredited, and morally bankrupt, who refuse to speak loudly in opposition to genocide

If ever we needed proof that Farage is a totalitarian dictator waiting in the wings this is probably it. No mention of democracy or due process, just Farage and his 'balls'. Those who follow and support this poundshop Putin better be careful what they wish for!

In 2024 several Just Stop Oil protesters were jailed for conspiracy to cause a public nuisance after a peaceful protest which closed the M25. Some weren't even there. Yesterday hundreds of far-right demonstrators blocked the Port of Dover bringing traffic to a standstill. How many arrests? ZERO!

We're now on course to breach 1.5 degrees. That's it. Too late to do anything about it now. But it could get a whole lot worse if this triggers cascade effects with the loss of ice sheets, rising sea levels and soil depletion which it probably will. This is our legacy to the coming generations.

Poppy Coburn commenting on Newsnight about Reform's most recent donations scandal says "every political party has had moments like this". The Green Party hasn't Poppy. We don't take donations from large organisations or dodgy foreign donors.

As the development of AI as a replacement for humans moves on, we're also apparently setting it up to out-compete us on vital resources that we'll need to survive in an increasingly hostile global environment. But as long as we can keep the cute cat videos coming I'm sure everything will be fine

Its not taken long, but I think I now dislike/distrust Burnham as much as I did Starmer. Starmer was clearly a hollow man promoted beyond his ability. Burnham isn't much better but promotes the same sort of vacuous policies in the manner of a double glazing salesman trying to sell you an upgrade

These are the people who say we're in danger from migrants and asylum seekers. Time after time they turn out to be child abusers and violent abusers of women. Now they've graduated to murder. If anyone needs to be deported it's these nasty pieces of work. youtu.be/dwMoaEDuOSY?...

As if we needed any more reasons not to vote for Reform, here's another one for anyone who wants to protect one of our only remaining native species. Rather Ironic from a party obsessed with concerns about 'Britishness'!

Newsnight seems to have an endless supply of posh women from right wing newspapers. It's like journalism bingo. Eyes down..Here's another one on the sofa! Is she from The Times or The Torygraph... Nope! Tonight its The Spectator and she's just called Zack Polanski "moronic" without challenge! Class!

Ian Middleton @ianmiddleton.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Bit sweary at the end but I think justified as an expression of disappointment in yet another Labour PM coming to power on a wave of promises to be better and that he u-turns on almost immediately. I think using the national emergency warning system to ban barbecues pretty much sums that up.

Just as we weren't prepared for a global pandemic, we're still not prepared for the multiple cascade effects of global climate collapse. Why do we never learn? Why do we have yet another leader who simply can't lead on one of the most existential threats we face? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A very deferential interview with Richard Tice on Newsnight - "people are always worried about other people with other cultures coming into the country" says the man obviously speaking from another timezone (looking at the window behind him) who currently lives in Dubai.

Zack Polanski, "I called this press conference.. Because of the shocking scenes of wildfires" "The amount that we hear about what Nigel Farage and Reform UK want to talk about and the little we hear about the climate and nature crisis, is pretty glaring"

Zack Polanski calls for action to prevent more deaths and damage to wildlife and livelihoods during extreme weather. He's interviewed on the the World at One to discuss this existential crisis. Jonny Dymond spends 2 thirds of the interview attacking him about a social media post. The BBC is broken!

I simply don't understand this. No one was proposing that the government pay for them. Business rates on car parks cost about £1,000 per car per year. All they had to do was say £500 for solar, £1,500 for no solar and it would have happened all by itself. @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social Hi Victoria. I don't remember you dragging Farage into the studio to explain himself over this. Is there a reason why you chose to specifically target Zack Polanski over an admitted mistake that was far less inflammatory? I thought better of you.

0159

Ian Middleton @ianmiddleton.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Ok. Zack made a mistake. He's taken responsibility for it, withdrawn it and explained it. This was Reform's response to a far more inflammatory comment which directly called for violence against a politician. I don't remember the BBC dragging Nigel Farage over the coals about this. BBC bias?
