If Reform can go from nought to sixty in 5 seconds (in terms of support & prominence) why can’t the millions of left-leaning people do exactly the same for @greenparty.org.uk ?
It’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
The old two-party monopoly is dead.
Be part of the change. ✊💚

Voters want and are desperate for a positive and bold alternative to the failure of Labour and the Tories.

I think this polling reflects that. The energy this leadership campaign has generated is transformative.

Voting closes at the end of the month. Remember to vote!
NEW: Brits would back Zack Polanski if they had a vote in the Green Party leadership election.

After seeing campaign videos from each candidate, voters across all age groups, parties and regions preferred Polanski to the Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns candidacy 👇

Difficult to imagine why media companies owned by multi millionaires and billionaires have been so keen to promote false stories about wealth taxes.

Let's stop this nonsense.

Tax the rich.

It turns out reports of a 'millionaire exodus' from the UK last year were completely unfounded.

I've just watched Attenborough's Oceans film. It's excellent. But my overwhelming feeling is "at last!" I've been waiting, and fruitlessly lobbying, for a film like this for 40 years. But the institutional cowardice of the broadcasters has stymied such projects, until now.

We launched the endorsement form for the campaign this morning.

Since then it's had nearly 400 endorsements in the first day alone.

Can you help us get to 500?

Make sure your counted 👇🏽

If the Green Party had the same coverage as Reform it would be them winning in a landslide.

But of course the Green Party would actually tax the billionaires, so they won't platform them.
