Heat & drought records keep falling. Reform promote denial. The Tories want to ditch our targets. The new PM still hasn't said a word. Such a relief to hear a politician actually name it. Should be ordinary. End the #climate hushing! Thanks for your #ClimateLeadership @zackpolanski.bsky.social

“I can call [the climate crisis] out as a political leader, but you [the media] also has a role to play... the contrast between how much we hear about whatever Nigel Farage or Reform want to talk about versus how little we hear about the climate and nature crisis is pretty glaring.” Quite.
Burnham failing public over heat threats, says Green leader
Zack Polanski has accused ministers of a "dereliction of duty" in response to this summer's heatwaves.

"The weather you are experiencing right now is the least extreme it will ever be in your lifetime." - @zackpolanski.bsky.social And every serious scientist in the whole wide world. Those telling you fossil fuels are not to blame for climate change are taking or making money from fossil fuels.

No one should face exclusion or discrimination because of who they are. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community and will keep fighting for equality that includes everyone.
Zack Polanski gives a well needed speech on the state of the climate. I've been around 50yrs, and i've never seen a time when every single lawn is dead from lack of water, and scorching weather. There'll be no lawns soon, just dusty patches of dirt youtu.be/yzAfG6KX-s4?...

"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.
I urge you to watch this. Polanski comes across with crystal clarity and dare I say it? Leadership. The firefighter who spoke was particularly powerful www.youtube.com/live/bsTXZ2V...

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 💚

This is excellent. Labour's response? More extraction of fossil fuels. It's not good enough.

Meanwhile, while people are raking the ashes out of their homes, barns, and forests, the fossil fuel companies are raking in the profits. www.theguardian.com/business/ng-...

Direct, full-time jobs opening Rosebank oilfield would create: 450 D, f-t jobs opening Jackdaw gasfield would create: 27 D, f-t jobs in UK's net-zero economy: 300,000 + 400,000 more on the way D, f-t jobs in the rest of the green economy: 600,000 Is that really the hill Burnham wants to die on?
Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

I'm a bit too old for festivals! But not too old to know that @greenparty.org.uk and @scottishgreens.org are a real alternative to the same old, stale old parties. And they don't survive on dodgy 'donations' either! Vote Green for fairness, equality and a cleaner environment!
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 2d agoThank you to Green Gathering - such a wonderful weekend! I'll be at lots of other festivals this summer - we're building our movement and creating an alternative to the old party politics. Join.greenparty.org.uk
⚠️ It's been the driest July on record. ❓️ But have you heard Andy Burnham say anything about the #ClimateCrisis? 🛢 Instead, he says he is "open-minded" about new North Sea oil and gas. 🟢 Only the Green Party will tackle the climate crisis with the urgency it demands.

We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.
Nicolas Chinardet@zefrog.eu · 2d agoAnd why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?
‼️'MPs have had their stomachs pumped.' 🍺 Turns out Hannah Spencer was right when she said that Westminster's drinking culture is “unprofessional and worrying” and leads to “questionable and dangerous behaviour”. ⏳️ It's time to end Parliament's drinking culture.
Very disappointing from the new Prime Minister, very much sounding like the previous PM. These are among the world’s most vulnerable and desparate people. They need safe routes and humanity from responsible politicians, not grandstanding. This isn’t doing politics differently.
I really enjoyed this conversation, I'd forgotten how much I like Bold Politics. Timely as well, to stop and reset my social media creep! www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7G_...
