Not only are we at record numbers of members and growing every day - this is our highest ever poll rating.

We're just getting started.

This is the politics of the 99% Vs the 1% for a country we can all afford to live in - plenty of room to grow.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

We should start a crowdfund to get them some additional IQ.

Meanwhile on Twixter @mothinali.bsky.social gives feedback to a posters recent artwork. 😂💚

Image of tweet from Green Party Deputy Leader Mothin Ali responding to artwork posted by 'Labourball'. Artwork reads "Green Party Abolish Bad Things" and contains cartoon characters that approximate the likeness of both Mothin and Green Party Leader Zack Polanski.
Mothin's response is: "C'mon my beard is longer that that!"

Trans Greens 🏳️‍⚧️💚 @transgreens.bsky.social · 2d

Green Party Conference recently passed some amazing healthcare policy for the trans community. It commits us to an informed consent model of trans healthcare, a trans-led public inquiry into NHS care, a trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy, and so much more.

The Green Party just voted to reform trans healthcare.

What does this bold new policy look like?

Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

What we're calling for:
- The end of segregation in trans healthcare.
- Ending the torture of conversion therapy.
- Moving the NHS to an informed consent model.
- Expanding the range of funded transition care.
- Access to affirming healthcare for trans youth.
- NHS support for people who seld-medicate or use private care.
- Real support for detransitioning people.

Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

How we get there:
- Closing the existing Gender Identity Clinics and supporting GPs with training and funding to care for trans people.
- Lifting the politically motivated ban on 'puberty blockers'.
- Starting a government funded, trans-led, inquiry into past NHS treatment of trans people.
- Including & prioritising trans expertise in independent care reviews.
- Passing a trans-inclusive ban on 'conversion therapy'.

Okay, it is, so I'll stop feeling sorry for him now.

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.

And then refused a second time!

Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.

Hey @boldpolitics.bsky.social 👋🏼

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month
