The capitalist system hurts everyone

Capitalism relies on our participation to continue

I don't want to give my money to billionaires any more

Co-ops are anti-capitalist by design

I want to find community-owned alternatives for where I spend my time and money.

I'm building this thing:

I think some of us may have forgotten that the entire point of living in a society is that each of us gives up a little so that we all gain a lot.

📈 If my statistical models are correct, Greens are now on track to receive 224% of the vote in the 2029 General Election.

So I'm expecting the answer to this to be really obvious because I've never seen it asked or even ever thought about it before but what does the "GPT" in ChatGPT stand for? 🙃

Who’s joining Artists for the Green Party?!

(he says with zero artistic ability himself 😬 )
I have this silly little dream for the Green Party that someone will start a movement to create art inspired by policies.

Like, the policies are great, but tangibly they'll mean something different to everyone.

I wanna see a thousand different visions of the better future we're all fighting for 💚

The Greens are steering British politics right now.

Those still referring to a "Polanski bounce" are underestimating it.

The spike in attention after Zack became leader? A bounce.

The sustained membership growth, media appearances, polling surge? That's a movement, just getting started.

When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them. I meant it.

I dunno about you lot, but my local Green Party is absolutely buzzing with people looking to do some good in our community.

I'm genuinely so excited to see the result of all these talented people getting together for a common cause over the next few months 💚

Take a bow, Green Party conference 👏
Green Party Conference 2025 just passed a motion that would Abolish Landlords!

Through a programme of unprecedented council house building, taxation and housing those who need it, a Green government would eliminate profit from a human right.

Housing for all.

"Zack Polanski is the answer to all our problems."

I disagree.

Zack is incredibly good at communicating the reality we're in, but solutions he proposes only work when we stop expecting others to fix our problems for us.

Zack is reminding us that WE are the answer to all our problems.

I'm gonna dip off here for a bit to concentrate on helping my local Green Party & community.

I tend to go in cycles of building & posting community-owned infrastructure stuff, then actually going out and doing things. I feel like I need to go do things again.

Follow these folks while I'm gone 💚

With my green policy wonk hat on, I've written about the initiative no one talks about: community energy projects.

Who are your top 5 political voices online creating content that you think the world would benefit from hearing more?

Right now, I'm going Mikaela Loach, Gary Stevenson, Zack Polanski, Zoe Gardner, George Monbiot, and Zarah Sultana.

Biggest number of votes at a general election (nearly 2m) based on 6.7% of the vote. A year later and YouGov poll today has Greens on 12%.

Greens are in touching distance of doing something huge powered (and funded) members not big business.
