โJeremy Corbyn is going to set up his own Party; we in the Greens shouldnโt be the support act!โ - well said , @AdrianRamsay ! Zack Polanski is deluded, when he claims that Corbyn could join the Greens.
โIf a new political party is setting up, now, without having climate- and ecological- breakdown front and centre, then itโs hopelessly out of dateโ: Adrian Ramsay brilliant, on LBC, on why the Green Party is deeply different in fundamental starting-point from Corbyn-Sultana.
Absolutely- Corbyn is a class warrior from another era - this about a plan for the future

Adrian Ramsay very good on @LBC @IainDale, making crystal clear that unless one appeals to wide sections of the public (not just Lefties) one WILL NOT WIN in 1st-past-the-post elections: winning which,not coincidentally,he & Ellie are past masters at doing (while Zack never has).
About to start! Tuning inโฆ #Popcorn

๐ The Labour government keep parroting the water industry lobbyists' line that nationalisation would cost close to ยฃ99billion. ๐ฝ Time to flush this myth down the drain. ๐ค The real cost of nationalisation could be close to zero and would bring down bills.
Thanks to all these Council leaders who are supporting Ellie and me. They know only too well what it takes to lead the party, and have the credibility to gain broad support for Green policies. ellie-adrian-2025.org/support-us #TogetherWeWin
Happening now in Tel Aviv: we march with the pictures of the children in Gaza who were starved to death by our government and our army. We cannot accept it. We call people to refuse the starvation, to refuse the killing, to refuse the annihilation.
"Until we get to net-zero emissions, extreme weather will only get worse, but itโs already damaging crops and pushing up the price of food all over the world." So reports those hippies at ... [checks notes] ... the @WSJ.

Thanks @JonathonPorritt for your support. Yes we will fight at every level to improve people's lives.
now that's a headline for the Trump era, if I ever saw one
So little, so late, President @vonderleyen : After you have given Israel 21 months a free pass in Gaza, it will take more than words to prevent Israel from completing its genocidal mission and overt ethnic cleansing campaign. And even more, to repair what's left of the EUโฆ
Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.โฆ
Looking forward to this!:
