Isn’t this a junior minister’s role? I want our PM to propose policies which will deliver social and environmental justice, and they need to happen now, not at the next election.

Polanksi is giving a masterclass in fielding these loaded questions. It's hugely refreshing to see a party leader articulating all this in such clear and lucid terms.
"Do you think Israel has a right to exist?"
@ZackPolanski is spot on. No state has a right to exist. Did Rhodesia? Does the UK?
And this was🎯"The status quo right now is a one state apartheid state where Palestinians do not have the same freedom as Israelis, & that's racist"

The Guardian 12 years ago actually carried an article stating that we were being dragged into war in #Ukraine. So why have so many liberals fallen for the NATO propaganda?
Wake up, people, before it's too late!

If I was Prime Minister , if I was Burnham , watching European cities ablaze . . . I’d instigate a ‘wealth tax’ at about 9.01am tomorrow morning . Just saying . Or should we just ‘eat cake’ ?

Why does the Greens' "Zionism is racism" policy provoke such fear from the UK's political and media class?
Because it collapses their key script – by emphasising that the struggle to end Palestinian oppression is against a racist political movement, Zionism, not against Jews.
The political and media class are so desperate to keep advancing this script that they're now forced to defame the UK's only Jewish party leader as an antisemite to make it make sense.
It doesn't make sense – can never make sense – because it's a lie.

Not being funny but why does #bbclaurak never talk about Palestinians feelings, or ask any of her guests about them
Zionism is racism

They're on the defensive now. Polanski has publicly challenged the Zionist dominance of our media, and they're forced to react.
It's getting more shrill, more hysterical every day as the narrative slips away from them.
The cages are rattling.

“[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

MEMO to the British mainstream media:
@ZackPolanski speaks for MANY British Jews
I am a British Jew and I am proud that Zack, another British Jew, speaks with humanity, courage & clarity on issues concerning Israel/Palestine, whereas so many UK politicians and so much of the UK media is ill-informed, cowardly & immoral
.@ZackPolanski has to explain that conflating Jews with the state of Israel (like the PM did last week) is antisemitic and is making British Jews less safe.

Takes me back to the good old days when Corbyn was persistently harangued with demands for 'apologies' from our media. Polanksi's having none of it.

“I’m not sorry at all”
Green Party leader Zack Polanski says he will not apologise over his handling of the debate around the “Zionism is racism” motion at his party conference despite the chair of Jewish Greens calling on him to do so

Laura *really* not coping with a guest who has no corporate donor, lobbyist or personal financial vested interest lurking in background. Just a desire to cut through bs & advocate for peace & security for all, inc Palestinians, who don't seem to matter to #bbclaurak at all

We are really through the looking glass now when the best political party leader of my lifetime is hitting “a new low” in the polls. Which polls? Who did they ask?
The Establishment are terrified of his authenticity and integrity.

Answering The Guardian at the press conference: the Zionism is Racism motion passed with the largest democratic mandate in Green Party history. Amendments cannot be introduced until 2028. MPs have the same voting rights as all 230,000 members. The Green Party is now anti-Zionist.

Brilliant work by cartoonist @BJennings90, perfectly capturing the absurdity of counter-terror policing in the UK. #SallyRooney #SarahHelm
