As long as they drop the maudling #CafeHope and alt-claptrap like #Sideways I won't complain too much. But holding on to tired formats like #StartTheWeek and #InOurTime is just baiting the average listener to reach for the off button as well. #BBCR4

Wait, what! This is well out of synch. We're done with 'home you go' shoes and haircuts but haven't yet got through local social media full of whining dog owners moaning on about fireworks. Xmas umbrage should wait its turn.

Whereas 10 out of 10 people who ignore pavements and cycle paths by parking on them are motor vehicle drivers. Now, do you have any other road user made-up statistics nonsense?

It's not about what you might want to discuss and the Green Party conference had no such imaginary motion. Whereas, support for the Iranian regime was on the agenda and indicates a deeper malaise in the GP than anti-Israel sentiment alone. I don't think you understand what deflection means.

Maybe you'd prefer to discuss the Green's conference motion seeking to normalise relations with the Iranian regime and the Iranian Republican Guard instead?

Zack, "I won't accept exclusion within Green Party". That's odd. Under Zack and previous leaders, party activists have often been wielding 'No Fault' suspensions. The result has been long standing members ostracised, bitter factionalism, rules bent and party funds spent on expensive court costs.

Mardy Kid @mardykid.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
That's just your opinion isn't it? Zack and new ultra-left membership are taking the once credible Green Party into an unelectable void. Worthy aspiration is meaningless if a party cannot gain respect, wield power or deliver. Now ostracized by the EU green movement and progressive left parties.

According to the BBC, 'A Green Party spokesperson said: "Where members have expressed views that do not fit in with the party's values, we have internal processes to investigate."' What a bleakly hilarious party the Greens have become. #GreenParty #ZackPolanski www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Zack quotes: Sep 2025 - "We're here to replace the Labour Party." Feb 2026 - "The Labour Party ... they’re over. They’re done. It’s very clear." Oct 2026 - "Vote Green and watch Labour move." Political hubris can come at you hard. If it helps, feel free to think that Zack is influential.

If it wasn't this then the current Green Party and/or it's Leader would screw themselves over on something else. Trying to exonerate the Iranian Republican Guard, abolishing the EHRC, leaving NATO, take your pick. Or maybe an unforgiveable social media gaff by Zack perhaps. Burnham needn't worry.

Caroline, it looks like it's not your party anymore. Debating a motion on zionism for 3 hrs is the privilege of self-indulgent cranks not a serious political party. BTW, did the other motion, the one in support of the Iranian regime get debated?

Hobbyist party turns extremist. Did delegates get to debate the pro-Iran 🤪 motion or did the 3 hrs debating zionism mean that other crank motions fell by the wayside? Please also add 'anti-zionist' to the 'intersectional eco-feminist' definition of the Green Party. The electorate will understand.

#GreenParty conference spent 3 hrs today debating a motion that zionism is racism. Not sure that left them time to also debate their pro-Iran motion.🤪 This party has been captured by self indulgent extremist cranks. The real fears and concerns that the electorate face deserve better than this.

Sep 2025 - "We're here to replace the Labour Party." Feb 2026 - "The Labour Party ... they’re over. They’re done. It’s very clear." Oct 2026 - "We have started to move them in the right direction." Political reality can come at you hard. If it helps, feel free to think that Zack is influential.

I get that the right wing press are happy to embrace Matthew Syed and his contrarian hot takes. But BBC R4 programming continue to platform Syed and his increasingly uninteresting mumbo-jumbo show. I guess the BBC aren't that quick on the uptake. #BBCR4

This conference agenda says more to the Green's new intake than the country. Not a squeak on social care and even the health debate is stuck on Palantir and Gaza not the wider NHS concerns of ordinary people. But there's still room for a pro-Iran motion and debating the abolition of the EHRC.

The spurious justification for this article is that Labour doesn't like rural Britain. "Rottweilers are also extremely right-wing. The late Tory MP, Alan Clark had two, named Leni (as in Riefenstahl) and Eva (Braun)". Much superior to Andy Burnham's dog which is"naff and suburban" it seems. FFS!

As one who worked for London in the past, this tin-eared arrogance is so tiresome. Like your predecessors, you claim that London drives the national economy and what's good for London is good for the rest. It's a lie. London keeps wealth from the rest of the UK, steals talent and serves the rich.

To be clear, behind the headline, Curtice predicted that, "you're somewhere between three and nine seats" at the next election ie maybe more, maybe less MPs than the Greens currently have. Calm down.

Traffic lights are EVIL!!!! Apparently, traffic light sensors are "phased array electronic assault weapons" or illegal surveillance tools and an "imminent threat to life" causing health issues like cancer, dementia, and heart attacks. According to Facebook. www.devonlive.com/news/devon-n...

I feel like you're going round in circles. The takeaway from Green conference Day 1 is Zack refusing to accept that the state of Israel should exist. Looking at motions for debate, it's all downhill from here in terms of the Green Party as a serious party of government. That's the realpolitik.
