We TRIPLED our vote share. Second best byelection result in Green Party history. On a date that Labour chose to deliberately clash the same week as our conference. All with a brand new PM in previously a "safe" seat. Best response to all the absolute nonsense today? Join.greenparty.org.uk

I have a lot of respect for Caroline Lucas, but this was frankly despicable. Perhaps the reason Polanski was absent for that conference debate was that he was a little busy fighting a by-election campaign. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/former...

This guy is a political science and philosophy graduate. A 12-year-old could give a better answer than this, but Vance doesn't want to give the actual answer because it would sound like a welcome change from the current US economy.

A disappointing result – I genuinely don't understand why people went out to vote for this Labour candidate. Nevertheless, a strong showing from the Greens. Pretty sure Zack will be in parliament at the next General Election, if not before.

The ‘overpopulation’ myth needs a sense of perspective
The western world’s self-abrogating and patronising ‘solutions’ to overpopulation miss the point entirely.

Obviously Goodwin is just making stuff up to whip up a racist reaction. But we also need to be careful about promoting family planning/contraception as a 'development best buy,' which has its own racist undertones and is often still used as a pretext for population control in the Global South.

It's only really divisive between zionists and anti-zionists, and a doubt many of the former will be Green voters anyway. I find those statements rather cowardly, especially given that by innuendo and implication, they all but smear their own party membership as antisemites.

The membership has made its view clear. The motion shouldn't be controversial, and I'm glad it passed. Settler colonial ideologies manifesting in ethnostates are incompatible with equality or democracy, and it's disappointing to see hand-wringing statements from Green MPs smearing their own members.

Ross McNally @rossmcnally.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
The motion makes clear what it means by zionism as commonly understood. It is an ideology rooted in settler colonialism, and is unequivocally racist.

Just one of many reasons why capital punishment is barbaric and evil. Why were they even trying to kill someone who had already served 30 years in prison, for a crime she committed as a mentally disturbed and abused teenager?

Nevertheless, it does seem that there's still a lack of ecological literacy at Defra, such that its idea of nature restoration is just to hit the button marked 'plant trees'. This is absolutely needed in many places, but shouldn't be seen as a silver bullet. sussexbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

The Lib Dems can't really be described as a coherent party at the national scale, they just act as a vehicle for whatever local issues people have. Often that's NIMBY campaigns due to their geographical strongholds. There seems to be no actual political programme, so Davey is just an empty suit.
