Watching @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @owenjones.bsky.social right now on Youtube!

Many profound moments already and that disgusting R4 Today programme 'interview' was rightfully called out.

Zack and Owen
have what it takes.

Do we?

Amazing news!

Last time James Murray was on #bbqt in between low wattage 'contributions,' he kept writing furiously like he was doing a timed essay or something!

Bet he's writing HELP tomorrow when @zackpolanski.bsky.social starts schooling him!

Oh, Zia too is it?

I mean I might watch....

Mr Syed looks like someone who tried something 10,000 times and now can't read the direction of incoming ping pong serves.

Well said Robin!

I sometimes get an inkling to revisit the abandoned ruins of my X/Twitter account but know that's got no hope of being anything positive or fun to do!

Warm wishes to you!

I've been hopescrolling for the last 20 minutes, and now the most expensive coffee in the world is stone cold!

It's that @zackpolanski.bsky.social's
fault with all his great political broadcasts and speeches distracting me on blue/greensky!

So wonderful to see!

Very best and warm wishes to you if you join the Scottish or England and Wales Greens!!

Now I see you support the Dons. I'm remembering Willie Miller and those boys back in the 80s who I watched with Dad on the telly!

I mean, he's Celtic and gave them hell, but let's not dwell on that bit!

Here is @zackpolanski.bsky.social ‘s full Green Party conference speech. It’s brilliant. It starts at 18 minutes in . You sadly can’t see him sprinting down the middle of the room to the platform by way of entry but the rest is golden.

Great video by @owenjones.bsky.social capturing the vibe of the Green Pier show in Bournemouth.

Zack clearly has what it takes.

The question is do we?

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in part of Birmingham

Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on 90-minute visit Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in. After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

The 5 podcast families sit down about the @zackpolanski.bsky.social problem.

"Wack Zack!" offers Rory.

The CEO diary guy tuts.

"Then dossier him" growls Alistair cleaning his travel bagpipes.

But it's locked.

Good and bad news for Zack Polanski: the Green conference was a joy, but now hopes are stratospheric | Adam Ramsay

Members loved hearing from a leader who boldly reflects their views and isn’t afraid of the rightwing press. How far can he take the party?, says journalist and Green party member Adam Ramsay
