For our monthly catch up with The Green Party, Rosetta and Milly have a kōrero with Steve Abel about the recent resignations of Benjamin Doyle and Green Party Chief of Staff, the government reopening applications for offshore gas and oil exploration, and the nitrate emergency declared in the Canterbury region. Whakarongo mai nei!

While speaking at the Eightieth session of the United Nations General Assembly over the weekend, Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced that New Zealand would not be recognising a Palestinian state at this point in time. Peters' rationale was that Hamas's leadership in Gaza would make recognising Palestine an unwise move for New Zealand to make at this point, additionally stating that it could trigger a reaction from Israel that would lead to more aggressive policies in both Gaza and the West Bank, subsequently threatening the two state solution. However, with more than 40% of the New Zealand public expressing support for Palestinian recognition and for stronger action to be taken against Israel for their actions in Gaza, which the The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory has officially referred to as a genocide, this decision by Peters' has been the subject of widespread controversy amongst activists, experts and a large portion of the general public. Additionally, despite claiming to take a more balanced and calculated approach to Israel's genocide in Gaza, Winston Peters' decision at the UN General Assembly has placed New Zealand within a small handful of western nations who have refused to recognise Palestine, with the United Kingdom, France, Canada and our close Ally Australia all announcing their recognition of Palestine shortly before. For our weekly catchup with the Green Party's Ricardo Menendez-March, Oto spoke to him about Foreign Minister Winston Peters' decision not to recognise Palestine at the UN General Assembly. They also spoke about the government's decision last week to resume oil and gas exploration across Aotearoa.

SPECIAL GUEST HOST: Ash Rebornhttps://www.tiktok.com/@ashrebornnz Winston Peters spoke at the UN over the weekend saying that NZ's position right now is not to recognise Palestine statehood. Since then there has been a split in the country with one side being embarrassed that NZ is now running from the right side of history, and the other side being proud and supportive of the decision made. Tonight we have Labour Leader Chris Hipkins LIVE at 9pm to give Labour's response to the decisionWe spoke with Green Party co leader Marama Davidson on Saturday which you can see here https://youtube.com/live/9-sDoJ3e5do and we're speaking with te pati Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer on Wednesday nightWe're all very jealous at BHN HQ as yesterday an episode of Gary's Economics dropped with his first ever politician guest and it was Green party co-leader Chloe Swarbrick.

Oh dear lefties… We just can't stop tearing each other apart, huh? One short month into the evolution of the new political party experiment undertaken by independent MPs Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn - and the whole thing has descended into acrimony. After a weekend of legal threats, “your” party is suddenly seeming to be a house of cards built amidst a hurricane.   Meanwhile, Nigel Farage has seized the moment to vomit out a new wave of inflammatory anti-migrant rhetoric. The need for a unified left movement has never been more urgent - and new Green Party leader Zack Polanski is ready to meet the moment.  Zack joins Nish and Coco in our (fully powered) studio - to talk about his vision for the future of the left, his plans to fight inequality and why he's not actually thrilled to see Zarah and Jez at each others throats. He also brings up his ever-so-slightly hypnotherapy boobjob and in revenge, helps us pip the Sun to the post on a saaaaaucy exclusive.  Later - Nish weighs in on the Jimmy Kimmel saga… It couldn't happen here, right?

The Green Party has gone off the rails. From breast-hypnosis hustlers rising to leadership to deputy leaders shouting “Allahu Akbar” while excusing Hamas, Britain's Greens are no longer about the environment – they've become the latest vehicle for Islamo-woke politics.

Roderic O'Gorman, Green Party leader, outlines the issues that will be discussed at today's party Think-In.

There are some new (and old) faces on the left of British politics hoping to challenge Keir Starmer's struggling Labour government, but could a party to the left of Labour ever win power? His predecessor Jeremy Corbyn has setup a new party with another former Labour MP, Zarah Sultana, who has declared that “Labour is dead”. And the Green Party of England and Wales has elected eco-populist Zack Polanski, who is urging left-leaning voters to back him rather than waiting around for Corbyn's party to get off the ground. The journalist and political commentator Ash Sarkar has written a book called ‘Minority Rule', which argues that the Left has become bogged down in identity politics and needs to stop fighting the culture wars so it can focus on building a broad coalition of support.A contributing editor at left-wing media organisation Novara Media, Ash discusses the radical potential for a Marxist approach to contemporary British politics and why she thinks Karl Marx would've loved Twitter. She also talks to Amol about why she can't think of a ‘dumber group of people' than Keir Starmer's cabinet and what lies behind the recent success of Nigel Farage's Reform UK.

On this week's mid-week show we take a look at the Green Party's uptick in polling thanks, seemingly, to new leader Zac Polanski. ALSO: a far-right watch segment that looks at various protest group's inconvenient penchant for kid grooming and child porn. ALSO: The Trump Signature shit is really heating up. Is Trump, himself, a paedophile? Maybe this is a paedophilia special? With the exception of Polanski whose only crime is to share the last name of a man who ravaged a child. But there is no suggestion that Zac himself is or was involved. Cannot stress that enough. Here are some links i really hope you click: Patreon

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Climate Confident podcast I sat down with one of the true veterans of climate activism, Jonathon Porritt. For over five decades Jonathon has been a leading voice on sustainability, from his early days in the Green Party and Friends of the Earth to his most recent book Love, Anger, and Betrayal.We explored what he calls the “science–politics gap” - the dangerous disconnect between what climate science tells us and how slowly politicians respond. Jonathon was clear: unless that gap is narrowed, our prospects as a species are in serious jeopardy. We also delved into why he believes civil disobedience is a legitimate and necessary part of climate action. Through movements like Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain, and Just Stop Oil, he sees a moral urgency that traditional policy advocacy alone has failed to achieve.Jonathon also warned of the erosion of fundamental rights in the UK, freedom of speech and protest, and how the policing of nonviolent direct action has edged dangerously close to authoritarianism. He highlighted the corrosive influence of fossil fuel money on politics and media, and why he believes only a reckoning in the financial system, particularly the insurance sector, might finally force systemic change.Yet despite the anger, Jonathon remains hopeful. Not with shallow optimism, but with what he calls “authentic hopefulness”: the belief that through compassion, community, and radical honesty we can still shape a better, more liveable world.This is a powerful conversation about truth, courage, and the future of climate activism. Don't miss it.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Towards the end of last week, the government announced a number of measures aimed at expanding the available support services for rough sleepers. One of the five immediate actions, announced by housing minister Chris Bishop and Associate Housing Minister Tama Potaka, included expanding the Housing First programme to fund up to 300 additional social homes for people already engaged with Housing First but still sleeping rough, however, both the Green Party and a number of city missioners have said that this wouldn't be enough to accommodate the total number of people on the social housing waitlist in Aotearoa. Additionally, earlier this week, Green Party MP Benjamin Doyle recently announced their resignation from parliament. Doyle announced that the reason for their resignation was a series of threats and ongoing abuse they'd received in March onwards, spurred by comments NZ First leader Winston Peters made about their social media posts.  And last Thursday, statistics released by Immigration NZ revealed that approximately 20,980 people in New Zealand had overstayed their visa, following a previous study in 2017 estimated the amount of overstayers at around 14,000. In response, Immigration Minister Erica Stanford announced a series of changes to the immigration act, which included: allowing criminals to be deported for serious crimes even if they have been permanent residents for up to 20 years, triggering deportations for providing false or misleading information, and crimes committed before coming to New Zealand. For our weekly catch up with the Green Party, Wednesday Wire Host Oto spoke with MP Ricardo Menendez-March to discuss all these issues.

For our weekly catchup w/ the Green Party, Wednesday Wire host Oto spoke with MP Ricardo Menendez-March about the government's announcement to expand support services for rough sleepers, Green MP Benjamin Doyle's resignation from Parliament and Erica Stanford's recently announced measures to crack down on overstayers. And, for this week's Get Action! He spoke with Fiona McDonald from Education Outdoors New Zealand about her petition to keep outdoor education on the list of senior curriculum subjects. Wire producer Max spoke to Stephen Hoadley - a retired professor in international relations, to discuss the potential for more European and US sanctions against Russia. And he also spoke to Will Alexander, a former actor on Shortland Street to discuss the recent global news of an Actors strike against Israel. And Wire producer Manny spoke to Dr Sue Adams, Senior Lecturer of Nursing, to discuss Health New Zealand/Te Whatu Ora's nursing reforms leaked last week and their implications for the workforce.

Net toen Keir Starmer dacht dat hij met een nieuwe intentieverklaring -wij zijn vergeten de hoeveelste dit was- de boel kon herpakken, zag de Britse premier vorige week een van zijn ministeriele kopstukken aftreden vanwege een schandaal. Een crisis die Starmer probeerde af te wenden met haastige kabinetswisselingen en nieuwe benoemingen. Maar de vraag is of deze nieuwe misère het al zeer gehavende imago van Labour niet nog meer gezichtsverlies oplevert. We blijven in de politiek, maar maken een uitstapje naar links: De nieuwe leider Zack Polanski van The Green Party heeft de pittige uitdaging om de populariteit van Farage en zijn Reform partij in te dammen. Hij won de interne verkiezingen om het leiderschap met glans en heeft een ding direct duidelijk gemaakt aan de regerende Labour Partij: "Wij zijn hier om jullie te vervangen". Ook in deze aflevering Hoe brei je een passend einde aan een van de meest iconische televisie- en filmseries uit de Britse geschiedenis? Met een slotfilm die morgen uitkomt, waarin met een groot, meeslepend en dramatisch schandaal valt het doek voor het immens populaire Downton Abbey. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor.

The Greens have a new leader. Listeners want to know what's in store for the left now.Tom McTague is joined by Andrew Marr, Rachel Cunliffe and Megan Kenyon to answer listener questions on:the future of the Green Party under Zack PolanskiJeremy Corbyn and Your Party's position on trans rightswhether a pro-immigration left party could win working class votesif the Lib Dems have any "serious" policiesLISTEN AD-FREE:

Zack Polanski scored a resounding victory in The Green Party leadership election on a platform promising bold communication and "eco-populism". Polanski has had an unorthodox path into politics, previously working as an actor, hypnotherapist and mental health counsellor. But he's been dogged by a 2013 article in The Sun involving a reporter who claimed he helped her try to boost her bust size through the power of thought.Born in 1982, Polanski is gay and Jewish, and changed his name at 18 to embrace the identity erased by his family's anglicised surname. His first foray into politics was joining The Liberal Democrats, and he stood unsuccessfully for Camden Council and The London Assembly. He joined the Greens in 2017, and was elected to City Hall in 2021, becoming the party's deputy leader the following year.In his pitch for the leadership, he linked the climate crisis to inequality and called for radical action to fix it. Now leader of The Green Party, Polanski has vowed to "take the fight to Labour", telling The Labour Party,"We are here to replace you."Stephen Smith talks to friends and colleagues tracing Polanski's journey from actor to politician.

Zack Polanski, the self-confessed eco-populist, won the leadership of the Green Party in a landslide this week. So Westminster Insider Host Sascha O'Sullivan finds out why the Green Party have often struggled to be taken seriously in SW1. Sascha speaks to the man himself – Polanski – who tells her he is a vegan, who doesn't drive and wants to tell "similar stories as Nigel Farage" but his will be "the truth". She speaks to Jonathon Porritt, a Green Party veteran and former chair, who says he isn't "completely comfortable with eco-populism". And Natalie Bennett, Green Party peer and former leader, tells Sascha the party will have to "stir the hornet's nest" to start to get their message across. Jürgen Klockner, senior policy reporter for POLITICO Europe, based in Berlin, takes Sascha inside the troubles of the Green Party in Germany and issues a warning to their compatriots back in the UK. "They would promise a Mercedes but turn up with an empty wallet", he says. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Green Party MP Benjamin Doyle has announced they are stepping down from Parliament, citing concerns for their well-being after receiving death threats and ongoing abuse. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.

Zack Polanski is the fresh face of the Green Party. He already sits on the London Assembly – the capital's elected body that scrutinises the activities of the Mayor. But he's got his eyes set on the Commons – with ambitions to join the four Green MPs already there.Polanski wants to offer a different approach to politics with policies that include a wealth tax on billionaires and renationalising water companies. And to be a threat to both Labour and Reform UK.To find out more about Polanski's ambitions, Niall Paterson is joined by Caroline Russell, Green leader of the London Assembly who has worked alongside him and backed his campaign, plus George Monaghan, commissioning editor at the New Statesman. Producer: Soila Apparicio

Danny Shaw and Tim Shipman join Lucy Dunn for today's Coffee House Shots to talk about the government's reforms to the asylum system. Having worked with Yvette Cooper before, Danny argues that the reforms are a great approach for a long-term solution – but he worries that they are not bold enough for the public mood. Is Labour putting procedure above politics? And, with the migrant hotel issue bubbling under the surface, is the public's patience wearing thin?Plus: as Zack Polanski is elected leader of the Green Party, is Labour about to be out-flanked by two radical populists to its left? The Greens and Jeremy Corbyn's new party could now pose as much of a threat on the left, as Nigel Farage's Reform is doing on the right.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Zack Polanski has been elected as the new leader of the Green Party of England and Wales. Many believe the result will lead to a further realignment on the left of British politics. Also: long-term borrowing costs rise, putting pressure on Rachel Reeves ahead of the Budget. And politicians criticise the arrest of the Father Ted writer, Graham Linehan, over social media posts about trans rights.

Something is happening in Britain, and it's not going to go down well with the established parties, the media, or the far right Reform Party that the country's elite class are placing their hopes in. There are the seeds of a new left emerging around the Green Party and a new and so far unformed movement 'Your Party' pioneered by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. An independent socialist movement led from outside of the Labour Party (the catch and kill party for British radicalism), is emerging with a significant sector of the public in support.

The British countryside is “overwhelmingly white” and needs more halal food, a report has claimed.Camilla and Tim ask Corinne Fowler, one of the co-authors, about the claim that ethnic minority people experience a “psychological burden” from “navigating predominantly white spaces” in rural Britain.They are also joined by Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, aka The Black Farmer, who says expecting urban habits and ideas in the countryside is “the height of madness”.Plus, break out the hummus: the Green Party has a new leader. Tim went to the announcement so Camilla didn't have to, and explains where the hard-Left party might go under former hypnotherapist Zack Polanski.We want to hear from you!

The Green Party in England and Wales has a new leader and by an overwhelming majority members picked the candidate from the radical left-wing of the party - Zack Polanski. His campaign focussed on poverty and Palestine rather than plants or the planet. He's a former actor, a member of the London Assembly, though not actually a member of parliament. So, is he now the voice of progressive populism that can take on Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn?

Rachel Reeves is facing additional pressure over her upcoming budget as UK borrowing costs hit a 27-year high. Plus: An interview with newly elected Green Party leader Zack Polanski, and five of the lead organisers of Defend Our Juries have been arrested under the terrorism act. With Aaron Bastani and NoJusticeMTG.

With the demise of Capital District Solidarity Committee after many decades, the annual labor day picnic in the area is now more formerly sponsored by the AFL-CIO – a little less political but more attendees, including far more children. At this year's event in Latham, we hear from Mike Keenan, former head of the Troy Area Labor Council; professor Peter LaVenia and Green Party state co-chair; Sean Collins, present head of the Troy Council; picnic co-coordinator Doug Bullock; IWW organizer Greg Giorgio; Bebhinn Francis of the National Union of the Homeless; US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand; State Senator Pat Fahy; Jennifer Beylo, the Nurses President at Albany Med; and long time labor activist Fred Pfeiffer.

The Green Party leadership election is underway, pitting new MPs Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns against London Assembly Member Zack Polanski. The Greens achieved their best ever result at the 2024 general election, but they've remained static in opinion polls ever since. Lucy Dunn and Luke Tryl of More in Common join Patrick Gibbons to try to make sense of this. As Luke says, the dynamics within the leadership election are symptomatic of a wider divide over party strategy – two of the seats they won last year come from more liberal, traditionally left-wing seats, while two others come from traditionally conservative-leaning, rural shires. Plus, does Corbyn's new party complicate any attempt to make them the anti-system party of the left?But first, what does the High Court migrant hotel ruling mean for the government? And will it help anti-system parties like the Greens and Reform?Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
