This is Zack Polanski telling it how it is. The Green Party is funded from small donations and members, not large rich donors. We are a party that will tax the very rich. And now it all makes sense.

Reform have less than 1% of the seats in Parliament, but feature in a quarter of the news bulletins at the BBC. So much for impartiality.

A shooting is a tragedy no matter who it is and what they stand for. I hope that this at least shifts the dialogue on gun control.

Hasn't he just. He's inspiring us and is right if blocks as leader. I find it funny that the right wing people don't know what's happening and don't know where to make of him yet.

The other place is so toxic and I have to keep pulling myself away from it. In order to make this place work, I'm going to try to post something every day. Please can others do the same, and also like posts and comment. Thank you!

Just how much longer can the wealthy get wealthier and the poorest get poorer? There has to become a point when there's nothing left to transfer. I think we are close. Also 80% of UK millionaires support a 2% wealth tax on assets over £10 million.

The political party has changed, but it's still the same cruel and undemocratic puppeteers behind the scenes.

What a disappointment the Labour cabinet are. My heart goes out to disabled people who are now terrified of what will happen. Such a rushed bill and labour can't even say how much the bill will save.

New MPs earnings data has just dropped.
Nigel Farage still comfortably the top earner. His 10 additional jobs have earned him an estimated £977k since the election.

Mixed emotions today. Relief that it looks like action is finally being taken to help Gaza's innocents, frustration that it's not enough, sadness that it's taken so long.

I wish you well David.

That's interesting Nic. Certainly not the focus here from inside the Greens. Zack is an excellent speaker and likely to get more coverage I hope. He speaks out a lot on social justice.

Greens are aren't just about climate, we are for social justice too. One of main policies is to tax the rich.

Labour are the party of the impersonator. First they impersonated the Tories, and now they are impersonating Reform. Vote for a party that's original.

This is an absolute travesty. When you have a choice of taxing the rich, who likely won't have their lifestyles affected at all, or causing huge mental harm and wellbeing to some of the most vulnerable people in society, it astound me that you choose the latter.

Absolutely this. Our media is bias and is damaging democracy.

Boothby Graffoe @boothbygraffoe.bsky.social · May 6

Roughly 17,000 councillors in the UK. Nearly 6500 Labour. Just over 5000 Tory. 3000 Lib Dem.

Reform have 799 and suddenly N.F. is being touted by the media as the next Prime Minister?

The Green Party have 850 councillors. Why aren't the Green Party being bigged-up by the press?

Seriously, why?

Roz Henderson @rozhenderson.bsky.social · May 3

If you are worried about the rise of Reform and want to do something about come and join the Greens. Or even better, become active with us, like a lady who contacted me yesterday wants to do. We will find something for you do that is within your comfort zone and fits your time commitments.

It's even more important now to monitor and compare the performance of all elected Mayors, both new and existing. We need to ensure that they work hard and spend their budgets wisely and efficiently.
