Choose peaceful resistance.

For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer, and non-violent action are expressions of our worship. When this is criminalised, our religious freedom is under attack.

He speaks with an articulacy and discernment rare in politicians. I hope he'll look at the issue of #GreensInExile and what has led to this. I am open to finding a home for my orphaned vote at the next GE.

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. 💪
