#WMatrix
Anyone claiming that the Green Party policy has become more radical since Polanski took over as leader is just revealing how little they know of the history of Green Party policy.

Want proof?
Read *any* General Election manifesto since at least 2015.

We were never that.
Don’t believe me? Read our 2015 General Election manifesto⬇️

You clearly didn’t read the skeet properly, or pay attention to any of the Green Party’s General Election manifestos - e.g. here’s 2015: “

History, geography, and stupidity.
If we’d invested in becoming truly energy secure say a decade ago, the headlines today would be very different.

If we’d implemented the Green Party’s 2015 (or 2017 or 2019) General Election manifesto, we wouldn’t still be dependent on fossil fuels.

People really should look at e.g. our 2015 General Election manifesto - the same principles, vision and (relative to the state of the world) policies then as now.

Just listening now.
It’s amusing how little they know about our policy, principles, organisation, history.
E.g. you can draw a straight line from the policy programme embodied in the 2015 General Election manifesto to the message being communicated by Zack today.

Having been a Green since 2013, we have always campaigned for a socially just and environmentally sustainable world - e.g. see our 2015 General Election manifesto.

Er, no - this is long-standing Green Party policy, e.g. from the 2015 General Election manifesto (page 7):
“Respect immigrants for the contribution they make and control immigration fairly.”
Zack is just really good at articulating Green Party policy.

Happy to confirm we’ve been passionate, intelligent and honest for a long while (I joined in 2013).

Imagine how much better the UK would be if we’d implemented their 2015 General Election manifesto.

Reforming Council Tax is a longstanding Green Party policy, e.g. see pg 13 of the Green Party’s 2015 General Election manifesto.

Starmer's now famous 10 pledges weren't his. He nicked them from Corbyn's 2019 manifesto. I bought a copy, I recognised them! 😂

The term was used in the Corbyn's 2019 Labour manifesto.

"Ensure that the single-sex-based
exemptions contained in the Equality
Act 2010 are understood and fully
enforced in service provision."

Explain what’s awful then.

The 2019 Labour manifesto included a pledge to "Ensure that the single-sex-based exemptions contained in the Equality Act 2010 are understood and fully enforced in service provision." Which was plainly a dog whistle for exactly what the EHRC is doing right now.
