Zack, I'm so proud of what you're doing for the Greens. My first campaign was Caroline's in 2010. She was the perfect leader for then and you are the perfect leader for now. Thank you.

The family room was so well used this year. It's great to see delegates able to attend because it doesn't mean having to be separated from their families.

Sadly I'll be flying home after 10 days in Vienna for #WMS2025, but my summer holiday next year will all be by rail.

Always looking for a familiar filming location when I'm watching tv, but I wonder how many other people recognised the aerial view of East Surrey Hospital when they watched episode 4 of The Girlfriend.

I think what the Your Party debacle demonstrates is that politicians who put egos ahead of the greater good have no business running political parties. I'm a proud member of the @greenparty.org.uk and encourage those looking for a movement committed to the environment and social justice to join.

I'm excited to see what @zackpolanski.bsky.social does as leader of our party. It's time to take back the narrative and I think Zack can do that 💚.

Important element in the full story that didn't make it into the headline: 'She pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred by publishing and distributing "threatening or abusive" written material on X.'

Meanwhile Radio 1 focused on GCSE results and the world's oldest woman celebrating her 116th birthday. The R1 breakfast show is a source of daily joy.

I know that's not the point of your post, but when everything is awful, a glimmer of light is welcome relief.

It's such a privilege to work behind the scenes creating stuff like this. Jorge spoke so eloquently about the challenges of conducting research and managing patient care for neuromuscular disorders in Latin America. I'm sure the situation will be very similar for other rare diseases.

The English market town I live in was the last place pressing to death was practiced. It's one of our claims to fame.
