Logging back on to Twitter to find the Right shouting at hedgehogs. Incredible stuff.

I back Zack without reservation, but it’s important to remember this stuff is entirely natural & normal within a large, democratic political movement. It’s a party, not a cult. We have to be able to accommodate diversity of views without shitting our pants & demanding purges.

The Greens gaining in the polls while the entire machinery of the Establishment are hysterically screaming at them that they don’t belong in mainstream politics has got to be the funniest thing I’ve seen for a while
Proud to sign this letter as chair of @BHGreens in support of our brilliant leader @ZackPolanski 💚
A letter of appreciation from Green Party local party chairs across the country
Keep up the great work @ZackPolanski we all still #BackZack

All poppy wearing is virtue signalling @IainDale, it's literally the whole point of wearing one. If you want to help veterans, you can just donate to H4H or the RBL, you don't need to shove poppies in my face. Same logic.
'If you want to help the people of Gaza, donate to aid organisations!'
@IainDale labels wearers of the Palestinian poppy as 'virtue signalling'.

People say that the Green Party doesn't talk about the environment anymore.
In my big conference debrief I read out every policy we passed at Green Party Conference to prove the Green Party still cares about the environment.

I firmly believe we should embrace this take. Mamdani is the new political center, meaning anyone to his right is objectively a conservative—even The Atlantic agrees!
We're back in that situation of watching pundits try to call the manager when someone calmly refutes talking points that they have never bothered to question before.

This commentary is disgraceful, and poses a genuine threat to the safety and security of British Jews.
Support for Israel is not synonymous with the Jewish faith and to suggest otherwise is grotesquely antisemitic.
“[Saying] ‘Zionism is racism’ is offensive, it’s antisemitic and it’s dangerous”
Broadcaster Jo Coburn says she “watched in horror” as the Green Party passed its motion on Zionism and criticises leader Zack Polanski's defence in his #BBCLauraK interview

I voted against ZiR and I've argued against it internally, but the uncritical response of the pundit class has if anything justified the argument that this motion was a necessary battering ram.

Let me repeat what I said earlier:
My late father arrived in the UK in 1966 as a legal immigrant. He and his fellow Indian immigrants didn’t claim the entire country was theirs, didn’t kick 100s of 1000s of Brits out of their homes, and didn’t set up an Indian ethno-national state in the UK. If you’re too dumb or dishonest to understand the difference between normal, legal immigration and settler colonialism, that’s on you, not me.

Interviewing a govt minister Hazarika shows a graph comparing young people claiming PIP to the size of our armed forces & declares it "tells a story about modern Britain"
I can't even make a sarcastic comment about our fearless fourth estate, because Hazarika is a Lab politician
