And it helps explain why the political establishment is paying attention. When voters start looking for an alternative, the political landscape can change. The Greens are growing. And people are taking notice. 💚🌱 join.greenparty.org.uk

Just look at that @zackpolanski.bsky.social surge. 📈💚 The Green vote has risen from 10.4% to 32.8% in Holborn and St Pancras — a 22.4 percentage point swing in vote share. That’s something to be celebrated, not something to be ashamed of.

Stephen Kapos gave a deeply emotive speech at Green Party conference Being in the same room with someone who has such profound lived experience of the Holocaust was a powerful & sobering experience Stephen spoke in favour of motion E02, bringing his personal experience & perspective to the debate.

Tories yet again proving they’re for the wealthy… Most families can’t afford to buy a house, they’re trapped in rentals which are extortionate. Politics latest: Tories will abolish inheritance tax on family homes if elected, Badenoch announces news.sky.com/share/12593360

My brave beautiful Lulu is such a sweet little angel. She’ll be three on Tuesday. Recovery is coming along after her lump surgery which has been confirmed as cancerous. 💔 Extra love and extra monitoring to ensure any further masses are dealt with swiftly.

Racism should never be normalised online. We should be able to challenge racism when we encounter it, and platforms have a responsibility to take reports of racial abuse seriously. #BlackHistoryMonth #Racism #AntiRacism #OnlineAbuse #Equality #Inclusion

But this experience also raises an important question: How consistently are social media platforms applying their own policies when it comes to racism and hate speech? Policies only have meaning if they are applied consistently.

Richie Daiches Barlow @thedogwalker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I’m sharing this because reporting #racism online matters. If something is clearly abusive or discriminatory, it is important to challenge it even when the first response suggests that nothing can be done.

LinkedIn stated: “Our Trust & Safety Team found Truth unknown’s page goes against our Professional Community Policies, and removed it from LinkedIn.” They also thanked me for reporting it.

Richie Daiches Barlow @thedogwalker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Following my further complaint, LinkedIn’s Trust & Safety Team reviewed the report again. This time, the outcome was very different. LinkedIn removed the page.

Richie Daiches Barlow @thedogwalker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

So I raised the matter again. I believe racial abuse should never be normalised, minimised or dismissed, particularly on a professional platform where people should feel safe to participate and express their views.

Richie Daiches Barlow @thedogwalker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Initially, LinkedIn told me that the account had not breached its Professional Community Policies. I found that incredibly difficult to reconcile with LinkedIn’s stated commitment to respectful, inclusive and professional interactions.

Richie Daiches Barlow @thedogwalker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Whilst discussing #BlackHistoryMonth with Miguel Doforo, an account began directing racial slurs towards me and the Black community. I reported it to LinkedIn, expecting its Professional Community Policies to protect users from this kind of abuse.

While the core General Assembly resolution is not under review, separate entities like the UN Human Rights Council frequently debate, investigate, and issue reports concerning allegations of systematic discrimination or apartheid policies in the region.

However, the United Nations later revoked this resolution on December 16, 1991, following the end of the Cold War and shifts in global geopolitics, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 46/86, which officially revoked Resolution 3379 by a vote of 111 to 25

In 1975 the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 3379, with 72 votes in favor, 35 against, & 32 abstentions which formally determined that "Zionism is a form of racism & racial discrimination". It was heavily backed by the Soviet bloc, the Arab League & various non-aligned nations.

Richie Daiches Barlow @thedogwalker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

On October 4, 2026, we members of the Green Party England and Wales voted to officially define Zionism as a form of racism, making it the first mainstream UK political party to adopt such a policy. Some further history around this in the below post… www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Green Party members pass ‘Zionism is racism’ motion

The motion passed by 1022 votes, with 813 against on Sunday in a move that sets out the party is anti-Zionist

When I worked in media and advertising there was a saying… “There’s no such thing as bad publicity” I’m quite clearly living “rent free” in a particular place right now. Love it when people promote me. 👍🏼

I’m entitled to my own personal opinions about matters that matter to me & my family. This includes fighting against fascists & their hypocrisy. My husband’s family are of a long distinguished forces history. Mine’s Jamaican & Jewish. If you don’t like the truth being told, the doors over there.

How incredible is this! In 2009 I sadly witnessed a cat get run over, I did what I could & cleaned the area as it was near the families house & I knew they had children. Little did I know I would end up meeting fellow Green @pennystables.bsky.social who is that very family!

A question I have that no Reform Party “politician” can give me an answer to…

How does Reform UK justify continuing to claim that the Green Party wants to legalise so-called "date-rape drugs" when that is not the Green Party's policy, and does it recognise how harmful and distressing this rhetoric can be for survivors of child trafficking and exploitation, particularly when it uses sexual violence and exploitation as a political argument?

First time experiencing this. Doesn’t have the impact on me they’re hoping but I can see it impacting others. Being shouted at called pathetic & racist by Zionists holding a protest outside the main entrance is just having the opposite effect. I stand with Palestine, I stand with Palestinians.
