The buyouts would be fair and funded through progressive taxation like a wealth tax and carbon taxes. The Green Party does not propose confiscating assets 💚

The Green Party condemns Russia’s invasion, backs Ukraine’s sovereignty, and urges peace talks. It opposes NATO expansion and supports replacing NATO with a cooperative, non-militarised European security framework 💚

Keep talking about the genocide in Sudan. Keep putting pressure on the government to sanction the UAE and to bring an end to this horrifying situation.

Thank you, @thecanaryuk.bsky.social , for consistently reporting on the genocide in Sudan. Remember, boycott the UAE!

I have this silly little dream for the Green Party that someone will start a movement to create art inspired by policies.

Like, the policies are great, but tangibly they'll mean something different to everyone.

I wanna see a thousand different visions of the better future we're all fighting for 💚

Good news! The #RentersRightsBill has received royal assent - this landmark legislation will give vital protections to the millions of private renters in the UK. A happy day.

Now it's time to tackle the next crisis facing renters - affordability. That must include rent controls.

Wes Streeting blames the BMA for the NHS’ s struggles, but this article from @thecanaryuk.bsky.social shows his blame is misplaced:

With the RSF taking over El Fasher, the UK must:

- suspend arm sales to RSF-aligned states (including the UAE and Saudi Arabia)
- increase humanitarian aid and diplomatic pressure for a ceasefire
- And support accountability mechanisms for war crimes and genocide in Sudan.

If you claim to be patriotic, you should want to see tax rises on the super rich. Surely, funding schools, healthcare, social care, and libraries in our communities is one of the most patriotic things we can do? 💚

In the month since I was elected leader of the Green Party, we have gained a new member equivalent of every single minute. 24/7.

We're all smiling. But we've also got a big job to do.

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Zack Polanski just crushed the Spectator like a bug over wealth taxes

Polanski has brilliantly exposed why our billionaire-owned media is pushing back against wealth taxes.

Zack Polanski schooling a right-wing BBCQT panel was a brilliant lesson in how to beat propaganda

The BBC arranged an all-right-wing panel to challenge Green leader Zack Polanski on Question Time last night.

But he schooled them all.
