Cllr Gareth KitchenConservative shadow technology minister Ben Spencer has tabled an amendment to the government’s Data Bill which would make public bodies collect data based on sex at birth rather than their gender identity. Green Party MP Sian Berry told HuffPost UK: “Trans rights need to be defended by everyone right now, especially those with the power to make new laws. This deeply disturbing amendment would be a gross violation of trans people’s right to privacy, risking a mass outing of trans people across the UK. If passed, it would dangerously increase the risk of harassment and abuse already faced by this minority community." <br><br><a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/tories-accused-of-dystopian-attack-on-trans-community_uk_681a0f9fe4b035302f245a44" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/tories-accused-of-dystopian-attack-on-trans-community_uk_681a0f9fe4b035302f245a44</a><br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/ukpol" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukpol</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/greenparty" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenParty</a>

Cllr Gareth KitchenNewly elected Green councillor in Maidstone, Stuart Jeffrey, spoke to BBC Politics South East.&nbsp;He said: “The media has platformed Nigel Farage over and over, pushed his message out at the expense of parties like mine. Last week we had the same number of MPs as Reform, this week we still have more councillors than Reform. We don't get anywhere near the coverage given to Farage and his team and that is why the public vote as they do - we struggle because of the media presence.” <br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/ukpol" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukpol</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/greenparty" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenParty</a>

Adam Dalliance<p>Zack seems to have a pretty good message and to be keen and energetic to be Green Party leader.</p><p>Carla and Adrian have been pretty good, but they haven't succeeded in getting the Green Party messages all over the press.</p><p>Think the UK public and press might not really be sophisticated enough to understand a job share. Probably better to have one person full time.</p><p>Dunno if the incumbents will even stand again. Four years is a long time for Green Party leaders. Usually supposed to be every two years.</p><p>Zack seems likely to get my vote unless someone better turns up. Would be really great to get the country fired up about the party somehow.

fak<p>Just declined a call from a contact in my phone because I couldn't remember who they were (I thought they might have been an old colleague or a recruiter).

Jack McGovan<p>There is a complete and utter lack of vision from left-wing political parties at the moment, so I'm cautiously excited about Zack Polanski's promise of eco-populism in his leadership bid. He's the only Green Party official, aside from Caroline Lucas, who has made any kind of lasting impression, so he's probably the person best suited to the task at the present moment.</p><p>I think there's a great opportunity to build a campaign around policies like the nationalisation of public infrastructure, shifting to a four-day week and fixing the rental sector – all of those will have tangible benefits in people's lives and can be connected with decarbonisation. While it's important to oppose fascists, it can't be the only defining factor of our movement. Curious to see how this plays out and what he comes up with.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/may/05/green-deputy-zack-polanski-launches-leadership-bid-with-uk-eco-populism-vision" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/politics/2025/</span><span class="invisible">may/05/green-deputy-zack-polanski-launches-leadership-bid-with-uk-eco-populism-vision</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/uk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uk</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ukpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukpol</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/UKPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GreenParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenParty</span></a></p>

Corin Ashwell 🌍 🌿 🍄🏳️‍⚧️<p>I like Zack Polanski a lot. He’s a great communicator. But I am not convinced he has the natural charisma to be a Green eco-populist Farage figure. Certainly Carla &amp; Adrian, current leaders, don’t either. But, their double-act imo can appeal to radicals &amp; conservatives alike.
