"Nigel Farage talks about [immigration] being the 'end of democracy' because of the way certain ethnic minorities are voting. These aren't 'robust words'... This is racism, it's fascism, and we should call it out" ~ @zackpolanski.bsky.social SMASHING it on #BBCQT

"The only way to be morally consistent is to condemn what happened on October 7th and the terrorist attack against civilians AND condemn the genocide in Palestine."

"We need to recognise that this [genocide] has been a stain on our humanity. And our government has not just been complicit; they have actively enabled it with the selling of arms to Israel." ~ @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #BBCQT 🇵🇸

"Why is it always hard choices for our working class communities, for people living in poverty?... Why are these not tricky choices for multimillionaires and billionaires? We need to tax wealth, not work. It is time for a tax on the super-rich." ~ @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #BBCQT 💚

Lots of people are feeling helpless about the Israeli government's genocide, but you don't have to look very far in Ealing to find residents working to directly help Palestinians.

HAFSA is a Hanwell-based group that supports residents of Sabastiya, a West Bank village. Find out more ⬇️

🚨 TODAY!

✊ Ealing Green Party members will join residents on this demonstration against a proposed casino on our doorstep

❌ A 24 hour casino will worsen problem gambling in the area, often at the expense of already vulnerable people

@ealing.greenparty.org.uk Please help us in Hanwell! Bring your members to a rally 28th Aug 6pm at Hanwell Clocktower to protest planning app. for a 24Hr slot casino, which would devastate the most vulnerable in community and kill our high street! 🙏

🚨 Ealing Council has once again chosen to target the most vulnerable in our society.

👎 The decision to close 10 children's centres has been upheld despite strong local opposition.

Here's Clare Welsby, our candidate for Hanwell Broadway, speaking outside the Council today ⬇️

Please join the protest outside Ealing Town Hall at 5:30 today - Children's Centres are a vital investment in future generations, you may not personally know families who benefit from the service, but they are our community. Labour has lost its way.

Sure Start had a huge positive impact on the prospects for our children, but the Tory/LibDem government made cuts and now Ealing Labour are going further.

We've posted about Ealing Council's plans to close half our Children's Centres. We've created a tool that will work out who your councillors are and let you send them an email in three minutes.
Please let them know how important the centres are:

Thanks to everyone who's followed me on Bluesky!

To understand some of the things that I and the Green Party stand for here's a recent speech.

Covers: workers rights, justice for Palestinians, how we stop the far right, wealth inequality and of course the climate crisis.
