"It is clear that Labour needs the Greens to keep them in check everyday to push them towards the real transformation this country needs." @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the Prime Minister's speech at Labour conference.
HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.
 
Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.
 
It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

It's bad enough arresting peaceful protesters, but arresting passers-by is another level of fascist. The police should be ashamed of themselves and our entire government is unfit for office.

Great response on the doorsteps in Holborn & St Pancras this evening - more & more people recognising that @zackpolanski.bsky.social will make a brilliant local MP. One more Labour backbencher changes nothing - the best way to make this Labour government braver, bolder & better is to #VoteGreen

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I've just seen Ed Sheeran's speech from last night and I want to make this clear: Genocide is not a complicated situation,it's not complicated to understand Israel has killed thousands of innocent people. Since the "ceasefire" Israel has killed another 1400 people. Ed Sheeran did PR, not an apology
Joe Lycett: What a week, like many artists, I've spent the week pulling out of Ed Sheeran.

I was just thinking exactly this. Despite how awful Reagan and Bush were ... even compared with Nixon the tango king is worse by a whole order of magnitude. Worse for the USA and worse the entire world as well; openly evil and smug about it. I hope he shits himself to death in public.

How about trading advent calendars with someone? Talk with them about whether they like fancy ones, or simple ones with pictures or chocolates. Maybe each of you could make one for the other.

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

Labour and Burnham have been silent on capping political donations while Reform gets £72 million from Farage's billionaire mates. We need @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Parliament to hold Labour to account, not another Labour backbencher to wave through Burnham's policies without scrutiny.
A quote from Rachel Millward, Deputy Leader of the Green Party. It reads, "Reform is a vessel for the super wealthy. They will always act in the interests of the super wealthy. Labour could have stopped this years ago by capping donations. Burnham promised to do it then backtracked. Will he now admit this was a mistake? Burnham and Labour have been quiet on a donations cap for the last 24 hours. The public needs to know where he stands."
