It all stems from the dominance of an extremely racist Zionism political ideology being adopted across decision makes around the world.

It has been a huge privilege to be elected and serve on the very first Greens Organise steering group. But I have decided not to run again and have a bit of a rest!

What’s shameful is that no party before the Greens called Zionism racist. Read my latest here: www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/what...

Israel was forged out of ethnic cleansing and apartheid. The Greens have very belatedly recognised what should have been obvious all along

He's a leader of the actually democratic sort, like Jeremy too, a champion of democratically decided policies and a person who lifts up other's voices. Not the unstable and remote top an autocratic hierarchical top down structure.

If @zackpolanski.bsky.social was a crap leader, would mainstream media want his resignation? Of course not. They want his resignation because he is a very good leader who is going to be a thorn in the side of Bully Burnham. And make it hard for him to adopt the rightwing policies he wants to.

And the baying mob are shrieking for Polanski to resign? Could it be more than they are terrified of the Greens getting a stronger hold, with their lefty socialist anti-genocide, pro-environment ways? Luckily they've got the Smear Corbyn manual to follow. Unluckily, lots of us have already read it.

Big congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for a positive & hopeful campaign. Well done for more than tripling our vote in a seat that USED to be a safe Labour one! People calling for you to resign are only doing it because they’re afraid of what you have done for the Green Party. So don’t.

Incorrect! Labour has been the leading right-of-centre party in 4 of the 5 by-elections. (Labour did not run in Clacton.) RefUK and Restore are not right-of-centre: they are far right. Labour is (on some policies) to the right of Margaret Thatcher, and (on MOST policies) to the right of Ted Heath.

PSA Today’s meme…
Gender-Criticals (GCs) don't understand consent. They think if a single cis woman, anywhere, doesn't consent to share the public toilets with a trans woman then that's it - decision made for all women everywhere!!!
Consent does not apply to public spaces where anyone might be. "I don't consent to you being in the library", "I don't consent to you being in the park", "I don't consent to your children going to school", "I don't consent to you being in a public toilet" - all of these are the same nonsense statements.
You don't get consent over public spaces, you have rights in them (such as the right not to be harassed, but you don't have control!!! It's not your home, & frankly, none of your business!!!
Perhaps this lack of understanding over what consent does & doesn't apply to explains why they setually cont to tual assets men who

Well done. It shows the momentum is still with us, despite the Burnham honeymoon. On top of a huge swing to us in Brighton (Queen’s Park), it shows that in key Labour/Green areas we are still pulling in large numbers of progressive voters

🇬🇧 In the UK, arrests for “terrorist-related activity” were up 1,553% on last year... 🤐 94% of those arrested (3,630 of 3,867) were for showing support for Palestine Action. This madness must end! 😤

Not his decision to allow or not. He's in a leadership role, which means he was elected to champion the policies debated and decided on by conference votes. We're not autocratic but grassroots led.

If Sky News interprets this result as bad news for the Greens then I'm sure they consider the Conservatives and Reform as finished and will no longer be championing their representatives and policies.

Saying @zackpolanski.bsky.social “should resign” because of coming a close second with a massively increased vote in the H&SP byelection is like saying the Manager of Scunthorpe United should resign because they lost 5-4 to Arsenal.

I can't speak for those who wrote the motion but I think "Zionism is racism" does 3 positive things. 1. Clearly signals to many oppressed and marginalised people globally that the Green Party understands the historic part played by white supremacy and colonialism in their current struggle 1/2
