Green Party leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social grew up in a pro-Israel household. Then ex-soldiers from Breaking The Silence told him what they had done in the name of the IDF, and his views started to shift. Ask your MP if they’ve met Breaking The Silence. Ask the BBC’s Nick Robinson if he has.

Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez says he wishes today’s world leaders had even half the courage of Clara Campoamor. She won the vote for Spanish women in 1933, only to have to flee the country when the fascists took over.

The Booker Family's wealth was built on slavery and indentured labour. So when John Berger won the Booker Prize in 1972, he split the prize money with the British Black Panther movement.

St Helena, California has an outright ban on chain retail. No Starbucks, no formula restaurants, no cookie-cutter brands on Main Street. The town decided a monopoly on charm was worth more than convenience. Would your town be improved by a policy like this?

The BBC has lost its way. A @greenparty.org.uk government would mutualize it, meaning the British public would have a say in governance and editorial strategy, and would allocate a defined fraction of the budget to projects of their choice.

If you join @greenparty.org.uk, you can propose a new policy. If enough members support your motion, it will be debated at conference. If conference votes for it, it becomes Green Party policy. It's not a perfect system but it's democratic, unlike other political parties.

Yes fair points and would certainly agree with the narrative that Ed is a good man in a messed up party. But warm words about Palestine while people are arrested outside for holding signs seems to sum up the party currently.

Words or deeds? "We hear you, you were right" said Ed Miliband to those outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people. As he spoke, many of those people were being arrested outside for supporting Palestine Action. 🤔 @zackpolanski.bsky.social would withdraw the ban on Palestine Action. ✅
