We can't seriously expect people to choose rail when it costs three times as much as flying. We need a clear duty on the Secretary of State and Great British Railways, to improve the affordability of travelling by train and make fares fair.

This man has achieved more in a year outside of parliament than a lot of politicians do in a lifetime. He's rightly taking this moment to thank everyone that tirelessly supported the campaign, but let's put some respect on his name too: big up, Zacky P! We're proud of you x

Important to remember about Star Wars: The Rebellion were the criminals in society, the good guys fighting for what was right, for freedom from oppression. The Empire were the "law abiding" citizens and the law enforcement, the bad guys oppressing it's people under draconian law. Be a Rebel.

The Representation of the People Bill contains some useful measures, but it must go further – put proportional representation on the statute books, shut loopholes that let dark money in, and modernise media platform oversights to stop misinformation and disinformation.

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills. The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

Legalising and regulating drugs is about reducing the harm and deaths caused by drug use, and treating addicts rather than criminalsing them. It is appalling that Labour and Reform are playing politics with people's lives.

Dear Lucy Powell, A response to your letter:
Dear Lucy

Three weeks ago you wrote me a bizarre letter in an attempt to hold on to voters who Labour have for too long taken for granted in Gorton and Denton. 

First, I’d like to give my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I've been busy on the ground with Hannah Spencer talking to voters about the issues that matter to them – lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services. 

You'll appreciate most of your letter is out of date now, but I'm sure you'll have seen the poll that came out today, that puts us in first place and Reform in second. Labour are a distant third and it’s now clearer than ever that your party cannot win in Gorton and Denton. 

If you are as concerned about stopping Reform as you proposed in your letter, the course is now clear: in the spirit in which you wrote to me, you should now urge your members and former voters to back Hannah Spencer on the 26th February to stop Reform and make hope normal again. 


Kind regards,



Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales 

P.S – Hannah looks forward to saying hi in Parliament!

Lawyers, genocide scholars, the ICJ, and the UN Commission of Inquiry state the Israeli govt's actions in Gaza amount to genocide - so why does the UK still maintain there is no plausible risk of genocide, in the face of overwhelming evidence? Why does the UK continue to be complicit?

The best way to avoid a possible Reform landslide is to have Labour use their 400 seats based on 33% of the vote to establish PR.

It tells you everything you need to know that Reform are parachuting in a rent-an-extremist - this isn't about representing the people of Gorton and Denton, it's about using this place as a platform for their careers. Manchester will show him the door.
