An incredible @walesgreenparty.bsky.social conference this weekend. Our biggest ever with many of the thousands of recent new members attending alongside experienced campaigners.

Inspiring speeches and important panels. Incredible energy and passion ahead of our #Senedd26 breakthrough next May. 💚

This whole millionaire/billionaire/trillionaire infiltration of the highest levels of government has to be the most singularly destructive threat to western democracy we have ever faced in our history.

We don't have to agree on absolutely everything.

But want lower bills? Think billionaires should pay more tax?

There's less fraud in disability benefits than the average millionaire's tax return. We can't save money by screwing over disabled people - that would lead to higher spending in health and social care. (As well as being a crappy thing to do.)

Tax wealth; raise welfare.

I was taken with the authentic, authoritative & measured responses of @zackpolanski.bsky.social
At last, a politician that
-answers questions
-talks my language
-challenges the media sneering at left/centre left thinking.

About time

The third journalist in recent days to specifically note that Zack does this weird thing in interviews where he… answers their questions? 🧐

Many journalists will not agree with his politics but I bet we’ll be seeing him more and more. They're desperate to have real conversations for once
Cheers!

Thanks Zack for raising the awareness of what the white poppy stands for too, particularly with the way the world is at the moment
If they only knew how to zoom in, they might just be able to make out the red poppy too....

Such is the power of @zackpolanski.bsky.social that he's prompted the Daily Express(!) to write a totally respectful article about the meaning of the white poppy

I don’t watch Sky News so thanks to Antony Jones for this commentary of the Trevor Philips interview with Zack Polanski. Philips is shown to be an utter shill. Zack Polanski was intelligent, mature, and prime ministerial. He made so great points.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

@zackpolanski.bsky.social The bad news for those who attack me is that we simply won’t back down....But the more I see them panic about the replacement of the politics of hate with a politics of hope, the more we know our movement is on the right track
