In the month since I was elected leader of the Green Party, we have gained a new member equivalent of every single minute. 24/7.

We're all smiling. But we've also got a big job to do.

Let's make hope normal again.

Visibly enthusiastic, incredibly articulate and with a winning smile that never left his face, Zack seemed entirely at home

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Given that it was the Green Party conference last week

Does anyone know why Zack Polanski wasn't invited onto Laura Kuenssberg's BBC show, or onto Trevor Phillips's Sky News program?

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵

Is change possible? I so want to believe the Greens can break through.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 16d

The Labour Party are bought and paid for.

Lobbying, cash for access, vested interests. This is who they are.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Thank you

I had forgotten how powerful , angry and beautiful that was. Not heard it in so long . A classic from my youth. Tonight I heard news from a friend that was a kick in the stomach , she carries the scars . So brave ..

Me too

annri.bsky.social @annri.bsky.social · 25d

Just made my day..hilarious , thank you

annri.bsky.social @annri.bsky.social · 25d

Couldn't agree more but I think too late given the events of the last few days . I couldn't believe the emails I got from Your Party the other day , made me really sad. I had joined The Green Party the day before as decided Zak P may have a chance of breaking through .

Saw this on the Guardian site and was so unsurprised that reading the details seemed a waste of time . He showed who he was a long time ago..
