You should be able to have a party which says "actually these are reasonable ideas... and the only thing holding it back is people not having faith and confidence that enough other people support those ideas" 👏👏👏

Or is it that I'm saying things the Telegraph doesn't want to hear?

I suggest they might want to avoid our Party Broadcast this evening!

Courageous political leadership means telling an audience what they don't want to hear. Zack Polanski will never do that.

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.

Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.

And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.

Thank you Zack. 💪

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

Greens ‘on track’ to supplant Labour as favourite party in London, says Zack Polanski

Exclusive: poll asked voters to rank parties on how favourably they felt about them, with strong support in capital and among younger voters The Greens are viewed more favourably than any other party in London and among younger voters, polling produced for the party has shown, with its leader, Zack Polanski, saying this showed they were “on track” to supplant Labour. The YouGov poll, carried out to coincide with the Greens’ ongoing annual conference in Bournemouth, asked voters in England to rank the five main parties in order of how favourably they felt about them, rather than the usual metric of which they planned to vote for.

One of the impacts of any Reform led council that doesn’t raise council tax is the compound nature of that decision. Like in 10 years time we will be stretching budgets/underfunding frontline services because of it (and of course because central government is stripping money away from councils).

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

Mothin's speech was one of the most powerful and moving parts of all of conference. If you've not seen it, please do watch it back.

Mothin Ali @mothinali.bsky.social · 3d

If you want to see why the telegraph is failing so horribly, take a look at this headline, then listen to the speech. Just another example of really poor journalism.
When they're can't attack your arguments, they resort to distortion to the point of lying!
