Podcasts about Green party

In this episode, RoyField Brown revisits his Birmingham radio roots with an interview that blends the local and the political. Green Party councillor Julian Pritchard joins from his ward of Druids Heath and Monyhull, a place that even the most civic-minded Brummies might struggle to locate on a map. But that's the point. Pritchard has been trying to change that for over seven years, turning up, knocking doors, chasing bin collections, and campaigning for a more equitable form of regeneration that isn't developer-led and value-extractive. His success there is more than a hyper-local curiosity. It's part of a wider green moment.The conversation moves between the nitty-gritty of grassroots activism and the broader surge in national Green Party support, spurred in part by leader Zack Polanski's recent media breakthrough. Pritchard, a methodical campaigner, credits Polanski with articulating long-held Green values, on social justice and climate policy alike, with clarity and conviction. Unlike Labour's technocratic drift, the Greens now appear to be talking about transformation and redistribution, and crucially, they're being heard.As for Druids Heath, it's a case study in how regeneration can alienate when it doesn't centre residents. Pritchard pushes back against full demolition plans for the estate, highlighting the murky logic of “affordable housing” that may not be affordable at all. He's advocating for proper social housing, not policy euphemisms. Amid a national housing debate, the fate of Druids Heath could be a local test case with national implications.5 Selected Quotes"We need somebody like your leader who can grab the attention and articulate a vision, not just for now, but where we are going." — RoyField Brown"It's about changing systems and policies, not saying that everybody makes real choices." — Julian Pritchard"People felt taken for granted, and nobody did anything." — Julian Pritchard"This is trust us from the council that's delivered us equal pay liability, bankruptcy, Oracle disaster, yearlong bin strike..." — Julian Pritchard"To save the planet fairly, we've got to focus on both people and planet." — Julian PritchardFurther Reading & Links MentionedGreen Party UK – Official party siteZack Polanski's profile – London Assembly bioBirmingham Regeneration Plans – Birmingham City Council's regeneration proposal for Druids HeathShared Ownership vs. Social Rent Explained – Shelter UKPodcast Producer Connor Begley Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Explaining History, Nick takes a hard look at the state of the British Left in late 2025. With the Starmer government firmly entrenched in "continuity Thatcherism," the opposition has splintered. We analyze the chaotic founding conference of the new left-wing coalition, "Your Party," led by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana.From walkouts and factional disputes to the return of the "spectre of entryism" by the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), we explore why the Left seems addicted to infighting at the moments it is needed most. Is the new Green Party under Zack Polanski the only viable home for progressives, or can the new Independent alliance survive its own birth?Key Topics:The Post-2024 Landscape: How Labour abandoned the Left.The "Your Party" Crisis: Inside the chaotic first conference and Zarah Sultana's walkout.The Return of Entryism: How the SWP and open membership could kill the new party.Green Shoots: The rise of Zack Polanski's Green Party as a serious socialist alternativeExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Taxing and redistributing wealth to reduce inequality is an idea popular on the left, and is being pushed by some politicians including Green Party leader Zack Polanski. But it's loathed by others who believe people should be able to hang on to what they have, whether that's earned or inherited.This week we're joined by Frances Howe, co-founder of local collective Bristol Redistro, which rather than a top-down tax asks people who have more money than they need to voluntarily chuck some of it into a pot. This is divided up by a panel of locals and given to grassroots organisations. Its most recent funding round helped groups in Knowle West, St Paul's, Hengrove and Hartcliffe as well as others serving marginalised communities across the city. How does this work, and what difference does it make? Why is it different from giving to charity? And with the cost of living biting, why should people be giving up their wealth in the first place? We get into these questions, and more on this latest episode of Unpacked.The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom – fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Canada's MOU with Alberta, a proposed new pipeline in British Columbia, and the possible lifting of the tanker ban have been hot news items over the past few days. Steven Guilbeault resigned from cabinet over his opposition to the way Prime Minister Mark Carney is handling these issues. In the first episode of a two part series about the MOU, Cortes Currents asked two politicians and two environmental leaders for their take on these events. Green Party leader Elizabeth May; Jennifer Lash, a former senior analyst with Environment and Climate Change Canada and the 2025 LIberal candidate for North Island–Powell River. Shelley Luce, Associate Director and Campaigns Director at Sierra Club BC; Max Thaysen, a leader of the Cortes Island Climate Action Network and  regional representative for North Island on the BC NDP's Standing Committee on Economy and Environment.

This summer, MPs Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana announced the launch of the provisionally named ‘Your Party'. The new party was created to fill a gap on the left-wing of British politics that many believe Keir Starmer and his Labour government are ignoring.

As Rachel Reeves prepares to deliver the budget on Wednesday, she faces the political nightmare of having to come back for more tax, having said she wouldn't and she's already made it clear that whatever she does the burden will fall on all of us, not just the rich minority - but the left and the Greens are demanding a wealth tax, while the right and Reform are demanding welfare cuts and tax cuts.Voters are disillusioned, inflation is stubborn, services are still struggling and faith in the political centre is evaporating.So how does the chancellor land her budget without causing a political crisis for Labour or a financial crisis on the bond markets?On this episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan-Guru-Murthy was joined by Green Party leader Zack Polanski, Labour MP Rosie Wrighting, one of the new intake last year, and Rupert Harrison, a former advisor to George Osborne in the treasury and now at the US investment managers PIMCO.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're thinking globally and poding locally. Environmental issues are on our minds this week as we tackle a new pair of interviews, first with a delegate at the annual climate conference where there's so much hope for an organized action on climate change, and then, closer to home, we will talk to the Green Progressive that wants to make fighting climate change the backbone of a new political union. This Thursday, November 20, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: COP Out. For the last couple of weeks, delegates from all around the world have been meeting in Belém, Brazil. This is the setting for this year's Conference of the Parties or COP, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. As the product of global climate change becomes more and more apparent, we will have an on-the-ground report from the conference with Edson Krenak, the Brazil program manager for Cultural Survival who will talk about why Brazil is the ideal setting for demanding climate action and why Indigenous reconciliation is a necessary component to a climate deal. McQuail Hunt. As you probably know, there's a leadership race happening right now for the federal New Democrats and while there are a lot of professional politicians in the race, there's only one farmer. Tony McQuail has spent a lifetime creating alliances between local farmers and supporting sustainable farming practices, and now he's looking to bring those lessons to the House of Commons leading the NDP. McQuail will join us this week to talk about his outsider campaign, why his message is a winning one, and why the path to an NDP comeback is forming an alliance with the Green Party. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

There's a certain, very specific green liqueur that's become difficult to find in the past few years… impossible in some places. Jessica Leigh Graves, the founder of Violet Crown Spirits in Austin Texas, set out to make a “twin” (her word) of this bottle, and did pretty damn well for herself. She sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about making absinthe in Texas, what it's like to try and recreate one of the most famous cordials ever, and what she and her partner are doing on a farm they've set up in Texas's hill country.PLUS, congress recently closed a farm bill loophole that could have massive implications for the THC beverage industry. Greg breaks down what's happening, and why, on this particular issue, he actually agrees with Ted Cruz.Follow Jess & Violet Crown at @violetcrownspiritsLINKSBecome a Regular: patreon.com/SpeakeasyRegularsPre-order Monk Parakeet: violetcrownspirits.com/buy-online/For resources on dealing with ICE agents in your community visit nouswithoutyou.la/ and @thenycallianceThe Sauced Kickstarter: kickstarter.com/projects/timmckirdy/sauced-the-podcastThe Speakeasy is now on YouTube!

What do a Democratic Socialist in New York and a Green Party leader in Britain have in common? Charisma, clarity, and, apparently, a hatred of high bus fares. In this episode of Mid-Atlantic, host Roifield Brown and the transatlantic panel tackle the political rise of Manami in NYC and Zack Polanski in the UK—two left-wing politicians who've gone from fringe to front page without watering down their message.Manami's victory over Andrew Cuomo to become New York's mayor-elect wasn't just an electoral upset; it was a messaging masterclass. Free buses, city-run groceries, and rent freezes—policies that many establishment Democrats wouldn't touch with a barge pole—landed him in City Hall with a wave of grassroots energy and a TikTok-savvy machine behind him. Meanwhile, across the pond, Polanski's strategic reframing of the Green Party—away from "tree hugger" stereotypes and toward a hard-hitting, cost-of-living political vehicle—has seen the party overtake the Lib Dems and Tories in membership numbers.But is this revival of unapologetic leftism a fleeting blip, or a realignment? Can charisma and clear messaging finally outgun billionaire-backed centrism and weary technocracy? Roifield is joined by regulars Denise Hamilton (Houston), Steve O'Neill (London), Cory Bernard (Manchester), and Mike Donahue (Los Angeles) to unpack what the centre-left keeps missing—and why hope might just be the most radical policy of all.Five Standout Quotes:“If people feel seen, they feel heard, they feel valued, they will support you—and they will vote for you.” – Denise Hamilton“Corbyn always sounds like someone's just stolen his lunch.” – Corey Bernard“Even if you elect Bernie Sanders president, how effectual is he going to be? But the mayor of New York—he can change things.” – Mike Donahue“Polanski just sounds like he enjoys it. Same message as Corbyn, but without the gloom.” – Steve O'Neill“We've embraced a cynicism and a hopelessness that Manami rejected—and people gravitated to it.” – Denise HamiltonPanel Social Handles:Denise Hamilton: @officialdhamMike Donahue: [@MichaelDonahue on Bluesky]Steve O'Neill: [@SteveZeroONeill] – Mostly on LinkedInCory Bernard: @168PolymerNext Episode Tease:Will the UK general election be a bloodbath for Labour—or will Starmer's centrism survive the green wave?

Brazil failed to secure an early COP30 climate deal on Wednesday, but their President Lula optimistic, saying there's still room for progress in the summit's final two days Former Environment Minister and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan was at COP30 last week and recently questioned “is this really working?”

Dublin's MetroLink project is expected to need around 8,000 construction workers.Programme Director Sean Sweeney has said Ireland may have to recruit many from abroad to meet that demand.But, with construction already facing labour shortages and workers continuing to emigrate due to high living costs and the housing crisis, serious questions are being raised about how the State can attract and house the workforce needed to deliver the project.Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss is Cllr Feljin Jose, Spokesperson for Transport for the Green Party, Architect, Rósín Murphy, Iarnród Éireann's Apprentice Training Manager, Conor Doolin and more.

On Monday, The Green Party announced that a Green Government will commit to revoking any consents, or permits, handed out under the fast-track process for coal, hardrock gold, and seabed mining, if they were to be permitted under the current government.  In their announcement, the Green's were adamant that it was possible to have an economy that employs people without destroying the ecological basis for our existence. While expressing that they consider these forms of mining to be “deeply destructive” and unsustainable. Also this week, Transport Minister Chris Bishop announced new changes to the Clean Car Standard. In the new standards, importers will now be charged $15 per gram of CO2 for new imports, compared to the previous $67.50, a nearly 80% reduction. This has led to criticism from experts, who believe New Zealand will now become a dumping ground for high-emission vehicles. And last week, The Green Party also condemned the Government's decision to officially pass the Regulatory Standards Bill into law. For our Weekly Catchup with The Green Party, Wednesday Wire Host Max spoke to MP Ricardo Menendez March about the new Clean Car Standard, as well as the Regulatory Standards Bill. But first, we discussed The Green's commitment to revoking any mining permits handed out under the fast-track process.

This week on the Wednesday Wire: For our weekly catchup w/ the Green Party Wednesday Wire Host Max spoke with MP Ricardo Menendez-March about The Green Party's pledge to revoke, what they consider, the most destructive fast-track mining consents handed out by the current government, the adjustments to the Clean Car Standard, and the official passing of the Regulatory Standards Bill into law. News and Editorial Director Joel spoke to Geoffrey Bertram, a visiting scholar and retired lecturer at the Victoria University of Wellington about the passing of the Regulatory Standards Bill, and what this means heading forward. Max spoke with John Minto from the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa, to discuss the UN Security Council voting 13-0 in favour of implementing US President Donald Trump's plan for a lasting peace in Gaza. And Joel spoke to Peter Thompson, an Associate Media and Communications Professor at the Victoria University of Wellington, and board member of the Better Public Media Trust, about ACT MP Laura McClure's member's bill, proposing the disestablishment of the Broadcasting Standards Authority.

Nicola Willis and Tangi Utikere joined Morning Report this morning for the Weekly Political Panel; Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says recent changes to the Zero Carbon Act and emissions reductions plans don't add up and will leave New Zealanders paying billions to meet international climate obligations.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 137-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,310 on turnover of $7.7-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan ended slightly higher Monday after profit-taking eroded most of the initial gains amid lingering concerns over stretched artificial intelligence stocks at home and abroad. Analysts say the market was initially led by the electronics sector as investors took cues from a rebound enjoyed by tech stocks on the U.S. markets on Friday. But this strength was compromised by the end of the session as many investors shifted to the sell side. MOFA names new ambassador to Palau The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has approved the appointment of Andy Chen as Taiwan's new ambassador to Palau. Chen has been the director general of the ministry's Office of Parliamentarian Affairs since February. He will replace sitting ambassador Jessica Lee, who'll be returning to the MOFA headquarters in Taipei. Chen previously (先前) served as Taiwan's representative to Oman and head of Taiwan's office in Vancouver, Brunei, and the Philippines. He received his bachelor's degree in Arabic Language and Culture from National Chengchi University. (AH) Bangladesh's former leader Sheikh Hasina sentenced to death In Bangladesh, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to death by a special tribunal (特別法庭 ) that found her guilty of committing crimes against humanity. She was put on trial in absentia and was found guilty of overseeing a crackdown on protesters last July. According to a UN report 1400 people were killed during the demonstrations last year, most by security forces firing live ammunition. Hasina claims she's innocent. Neha Poonia has more. Canada Budget Vote Passes Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney won a vote on his budget in Parliament that could have triggered (觸發) a possible election. Carney's Liberal government does not have enough votes to pass the budget on its own but it passed 170-168 with the support of a Green Party member of Parliament and some New Democrat abstentions. The Liberals don't have a majority of seats in the House of Commons and must rely on an opposition party to pass legislation. The budget vote is considered a vote of confidence in the minority Liberal government. Carney's Liberal Party scored a stunning comeback victory in an election last April in a vote widely seen as a rebuke of U.S. President Donald Trump. But the Liberals fell just short of winning an outright majority in Parliament. British Royal Mint Issues Freddie Mercury Coin Design Britain's Royal Mint is celebrating Freddie Mercury with a new coin design. The coin marks 40 years since his iconic Live Aid performance. It features an image of the Queen front man midperformance, with a musical stave (五線譜 ) representing his vocal range. Mercury's sister struck the first coin at the Royal Mint in Wales last week.

There's chaos in Ottawa! Green Party leader Elizabeth May doesn't want to ruin Christmas with an election… but she says she will if Mark Carney doesn't budge.

During an interview with the ‘Morning Report', Prime Minister Christopher Luxon confirmed that orders for the homeless in Auckland's CBD to move on were “definitely a consideration”. He later stated, that “Aucklanders don't feel safe going into the central city”, and both Central government and Auckland Council are considering how they can move homeless people out of the CBD ahead of summer.  This follows previous reports that the Government was considering a rough sleeping ban for central Auckland. This news comes as Stats NZ released their annual unemployment figures this week. The results show that national unemployment has risen to a nine-year high at 5.3%, with the New Zealand youth taking most of the damage. For our weekly catchup with The Green Party, Wednesday Wire Max spoke to MP Ricardo Menendez March, to discuss the new unemployment figures released last week. They also spoke about the Government's new action plan to combat methamphetamine use. But first, they discussed what The Green Party thought about the Government's plan to decrease homelessness in the Auckland CBD

This week on the Wednesday Wire: For our weekly catchup with the Green Party, Wednesday Wire Host Max spoke with MP Ricardo Menendez-March about government ministers announcing they are considering banning rough sleeping in Auckland's CBD, recent unemployment figures, and the government's action plan to combat meth usage. For this week's Get Action, Producer Manny spoke to JT from Touch Compass on their petition to Say YES to “Access” #YesToAccessNZ | Words shape world on their petition to replace inclusion with access. Manny spoke with Jason Mika, Professor of Māori Management at the University of Auckland, about the ructions within Te Pāti Māori. And News and Editorial Director Joel spoke with Professor John Morgan, The Head of the School Critical Studies and Education at the University of Auckland, about his article on Newsroom his belief that the country is seeing a collapse of the second curriculum accord. Whakarongo mai!

BreastCheck looks set to miss its screening target for a third year in a row.The national screening programme for breast cancer screens symptom-free women aged between 5 and 69 – and the target set was 219,000.However, it is expected that just 170,000 will be screened…Joining Ciara Doherty to discuss this is Amy Nolan, Director of Clinical Affairs at the Irish Cancer Society and the Green Party's Hazel Chu.

This week on Galway Talks, We heard the powerful story of Jade McFarlane. She was raped by her friend's father in their home when she was just 19 years of age. ​She bravely waived her anonymity so that she could name her rapist. She came on to the programme this week and shared her story with us   We also heard of the situation in Ballybane over the mid-term break. ​A number of stones were thrown at vehicles and buses, some causing injury to the passengers within them. ​There have been calls for better lights in the area and also for stakeholders to come together in the area to tackle this problem head-on. ​We discussed it on the programme with Donal Lynch, community activist in the Ballybane area, but also with FF Cllr. Alan Cheevers.   International Protection Applicants and violence directed at them was very much to the fore again this week. ​A lot of commentators are blaming this increase in aggression towards international protection centres on government rhetoric. ​Sai Gujulla is himself an immigrant into this country and said we need to see leadership now rather than diverting blame. Some politicians have been accused of conflating the lacking public services and housing situation with migrants and immigration. ​ This week, climate change was very much in the mainstream here in Ireland, across Europe, and the world. ​Environment Ministers agreed on a 90% carbon emissions reduction by 2040, with some loopholes in effect between now and 2035. ​This has been welcomed in many of the green sectors, but there is criticism that it might not have gone far enough, while others say some of these targets are unachievable and may make us anti-competitive. We heard from people in Galway City who gave their thoughts on the climate situation here in Ireland and globally. We got the views of Green Party representative for Galway West for the upcoming by-election, Niall Murphy, and Independent Ireland Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice on the issue with me during the week.

While COP30 gets underway in Brazil - Donald Trump is ripping up climate policy, blasting his allies for falling for what he calls the ‘world's greatest con job' and trying to get big business to follow his lead - and yet in New York, Zohran Mamdani - a left-wing populist unafraid to tout a green agenda - has just won the mayoral race and in the UK, the Green Party has surged under Zack Polanski.So is the direction of travel really a climate rollback - or is a new left preparing to claim power and reclaim the climate argument? With me, from the COP in Belém, is our Chief Correspondent Alex Thomson - and in London, the financial journalist and author Andrew Ross Sorkin, whose new book 1929 investigates the Wall Street crash.

Danny says if Rachel Reeves raises income tax she will have to resign - and will make all political promises in the future worthless. Do the other political masterminds (and Hugo) agree?We also discuss why Zack Polanski didn't like our discussion about the Green Party, whether British politicians are learning the wrong lessons from Zohran Mamdani's victory in New York, and Polly tries Marmite for the first time, ever.Send your questions and comments to howtowin@thetimes.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textLeftist responses to the current moment range from rejecting engaging the state at all to grudgingly accepting centrist Democrats as a lesser evil. In an interview between LBS's Dayvon Love and Lawrence Grandpre, Love urges the Left to intentionally chart a middle course. Using examples from concrete legislative victories in Maryland, he advocates for intentionally delivering on concert improvements to quality of life for Black masses as a way to build a base for more progressive reforms, while continually expanding the political terrain by pushing radical demands. Rather than this being a typical reformist path, Dayvon concludes by explaining the role of strategic engagement with 3rd party politics can have the put pressure on Democrats to deliver or face real material consequences, using Andy Ellis's potential Green Party run for governor in Maryland in 2026 as an example. Support the showIn Search of Black Power is a Black-owned internet show and podcast.

From Elizabeth May's permanent iron grip on the Green party; to Jagmeet Singh's self-destructive Liberal alliance; and the sabotaging of NDP campaigns by Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein's “leap manifesto”: Mark Leiren-Young, a committed environmentalist, saw all of it from a front-row seat. He had worked to help elect the politicians he thought were committed to fighting for his cause. But, as he tells Brian — and describes in his new book Greener Than Thou: Surviving the Toxic Sludge of Canadian Ecopolitics — he discovered they turned out to be more committed to fighting with each other, while being lousy at politics. For people truly interested in his kind of change, Leiren-Young explains why these parties might be better to disappear entirely. (Recorded October 31, 2025) Learn more about your ad choices.

No one likes being unpopular, so you could forgive both of the UK's main political parties for wanting to look away when another damning poll dropped this week. Support for both parties has never been so low at the same time, the Green party is seeing record support and Reform UK continues to top the popularity contest. Does recent polling really suggest the end of the two-party hegemony? King of the pollsters John Curtice helps Politics Weekly UK read the runes. And, in the run-up to the budget next month, Keir Starmer has given the strongest indication yet that tax rises may be on the way, while immigration dominates headlines and the escaped sex offender whose case sparked protests at the Bell hotel in Epping is sent back to Ethiopia – with £500 in his back pocket. Pippa Crerar is joined by the Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff to discuss the government's game of immigration whack-a-mole and the consequences Labour could face if it breaks its manifesto pledge not to raise key taxes..

Andrew Marr says he thought Labour would fix everything, but: "I was wrong".--Andrew Marr is stepping down as political editor of the New Statesman. In this, his last regular podcast appearance (he'll be back, don't worry!) he reflects on the last three years in politics - and where we're heading next.He admits committing "the journalistic sin" of optimism when Keir Starmer was elected, and addresses criticism he's faced from media colleagues on both the left and right of the political divide. He explains why he believes the Labour party is failing the country.Speaking to Tom McTague, Marr also looks to the future and explores the likelihood of a Nigel Farage-led Reform government, the rise of Zack Polanski's Green Party and whether a coalition could be on the cards for the next election.READ: I thought Labour would fix everything.
