Lifelong Labour voter, now Green Party member. I voted for every Labour manifesto and leader since Neil Kinnock, even the useless ones, that Labour's lying backstabbers couldn't do the same for Jeremy Corbyn means I #VoteGreen & #BackZack
Zack Polanksi, "We need to look at the £2.7 billion in tax breaks that is given to fossil fuel companies, that should go into jobs in renewables, in nature, in care"
Zack Polanski, "One of my biggest achievements in my one year as leader of the Green party was helping topple an unpopular prime minister" "If we had not won Gorton and Denton, Keir Starmer would not have the leadership crisis that we had, and we wouldn't have had Andy Burnham turn up"
Zack Polanski, "If we decarbonise by 2050, that would cost less than a single (fossil-fuel) energy shock" "We've now had two energy shocks in just a few years" "We cannot keep waiting, we cannot keep hoping for magic technologies - it already exists, what is lacking is the political will"

This is excellent. Labour's response? More extraction of fossil fuels. It's not good enough.
This is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.
Can you feel it? That deluge of wealth trickling all over you, enriching you in parts you didn't know you had?
BP's quarterly profits more than doubled to £4.2 billion in the three months to the end of June. These are the profits of war and climate chaos. It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.
The outskirts of London look like the outskirts of Dubai. The church is the thing that looks out of place. #ClimateEmergency
I can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …

Vote Green because only they make policy knowing that future generations will exist and have homes, families and lives just like we do now, and have a right to a decent quality of life, just like we do now. Other parties don't think about our children and grandchildren, never mind anyone after them.
Vote Green if you want to save the planet. Seriously. #VoteGreen 💚
Extreme weather is now the new normal. The Prime Minister must act like this is the emergency it is.
Absolutely, and that's why I vote Green, because they're the only party willing to do this. #VoteGreen 💚
Zack does not make Green Party policy. Not a single line of it.

Zack Polanski brands climate crisis ‘biggest threat since Second World War’ and demands ‘full-scale emergency response’ from Andy Burnham
The Green Party accused the government of an 'astonishing dereliction of duty'

"Ignoring extreme heat and raging fires isn't just complacency. It's a dereliction of duty." Experts warn the climate crisis is already costing lives and urgent action from the Government is needed.
This is what climate failure looks like. Nature, homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. The Government must act now.
Chris Packham: government should tell people the truth before they hear the lies.
Watch live as Zack Polanski delivers urgent message to the Prime Minister
If you're in the UK and struggling with heat, listen to this. The Green Party the only political party taking the threat climate breakdown poses to lives seriously. Andy Burnham doesn't care and wants to drill for more oil. Reform agree. Already thousands have died. #climatechange #weneedtoactNOW 💚
