Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

I'm delighted with my heat pump.

But my experience getting it installed taught me what’s been stopping many more people from getting one (so far).

I wrote for @politicshome.bsky.social on the hurdles that government needs to think about as it implements the Warm Homes Plan. 👇

There’s (yet another) big Green wave happening!

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

What’s it like to become an elected woman councillor, and how do you get there? Three of our brilliant city councillors will be talking about their experiences at our free ‘Ask Her To Stand’ event on 25th February. Details and booking at actionnetwork.org/events/ask-h...

I am pleased the Government has done another u turn.

Attempting to cancel elections, on top of scrapping jury trials, mandatory ID cards, criminalising peaceful protest and harassment of journalists is part of a disturbing authoritarian trend of this caretaker Prime Minister.

Would be good to get this shared as widely as possible.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

We must defend UK democracy from Russian interference and the wider web of dirty money and misinformation which enables bad actors to undermine trust in politics.

The Elections Bill is crucial in addressing this - the govt must not delay it any further.

Green Party's city membership doubles after 'Polanski effect' There has been a surge in support for the Green Party in Worcester as they go head-to-head with Reform UK

Meet Hannah Spencer - Green MP candidate for Gorton and Denton, and the only vote to stop Reform.

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.

But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.

Richard Tice pulled out.
Farage won’t face me.
Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.

Vote Green.

Photos shows about 30 Green Party members, supporters and volunteers behind a big ‘Green Party’ banner in a street in Nunnery ward in Worcester. The scene is quite rainy!

We had our biggest EVER action day in Nunnery yesterday, with over 40 people 😎 Huge thanks to everyone who came along; it takes more than a bit of soggy weather to put Greens off! 👍
We had a great response from residents and we can’t wait for our next Big Day Out! 💚

The Gorton & Denton by-election is Green vs Reform.

Good turnout. But beware of complacency, they are going to need a lot more help to Hannah over the line.
Anyone living in or around Worcester want a lift up there to go and help the campaign?

Hannah is just brilliant. She's funny, smart, VERY hard working, knows how to get her point across, and doesn't take no for any answer. What else could you want? 💚

Massive congratulations to Hannah, an absolutely brilliant Councillor, Green Party member, and Mancunian dedicated to delivering the best for Gorton and Denton residents! Hugely looking forward to campaigning with Hannah tomorrow and as much as possible over the coming weeks!
