I'm backing @zackpolanski.bsky.social for leader. Bold leadership. Now.

Appearing on #politicslondon in his capacity as a member of the London Assembly, Zack Polanski thinks the mayor of London should have the power to tax the super rich.

There is a huge potential audience for ecosocialism if presented in the right way. That's why I'm backing @zackpolanski.bsky.social in the leadership contest.

I'm standing against Reform in my home town. Glad to be one of the full slate of candidates standing in local elections across Cambridgeshire. #VoteGreen #GetGreensElected

Delighted to be @greenparty.org.uk candidate for Barnack, Peterborough. I support better sustainable public transport for rural areas, clean rivers, protecting nature and bringing water back into public ownership. The main parties offer no solutions to the crisis we face. #GetGreensElected

Lovely day leafleting in Orton, Peterborough with @pborogreens.bsky.social #GetGreensElected

🚨 Alarm bells are ringing. "Zack Polanski, @greenparty.org.uk deputy leader, said without such targets, there's a danger that by the end of mayor’s current term in 2028, London will be “nowhere near” net zero & Sir Sadiq will “swan off into the sunset”. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

We might yearn for paradise, temporal or spiritual. But to our descendents our habitable planet will look like an almost unimaginable paradise. No tech fantasy, no space station or controlled environment will ever compare. Fight for what we have. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

In my column today I argue that, unbelievably, Labour are worse on environmental issues than the Conservatives. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

On Holocaust Memorial Day we remember those murdered during the Holocaust and all genocides.

This is pretty damning to be fair.

"Politics is only made within the 'Overton window', anyone who wants real change has to move the whole window. That is what has been happening for years. Until finally, at the very right edge of the window of what is politically acceptable, the Hitler salute becomes visible." - @jalenz.bsky.social

Finally! We now know the backstory to this classic "Planet of the Apes" ending.

We're still a long way out, but an obvious scenario is a CON/REF far right party wins.

The conversation around the climate crisis isn’t to change or not to change – change is coming for us whether we’re ready or not. Time for leaders to take their heads out of the sand - we need to decarbonise, fast, and make our communities resilient. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Not all governments have floundered in the face of Inflation. Positive lessons from Spain and Mexico

We've already experienced the biggest decline in living standards since the Napoleonic wars. Just imagine where we'll be in another ten years.

Climate collapse is already here. This is just the beginning.

the riots last summer weren't spontaneous, they were orchestrated and co-ordinated by the far-right utilising social media networks, they'll be back.

Oh look. Jennifer Aniston just followed me ♥️ Amazing how a star of her calibre has zero followers and no posts yet 🤔 @moderation.bsky.app

X should be banned for spreading dangerous foreign misinformation. We did it to RT. What's the difference?

I'm no fan of Starmer but this antidemocratic barrage from Musk cannot be allowed to stand.
