Adrian Ramsay

Yeah.

Um, and that was during the period when Adrian Ramsey was the leader and, and, and, and so on.

Um, and there was the joint leadership.

Of course, Polanski then comes in, and actually in fairness to him and the Greens, I think there is no doubt that they are a component, not the only component, but a component of the fall of the Starmer government.

Polanski signalled

a clear shift from the party, from more environmental roots under Adrian Ramsey and Carla Denya.

He clearly signalled two things to the public, and that was strong policy internationally on conflict in the Middle East, but also at home, a focus on the cost of living crisis.

And a lot of his videos, his communication, I think had massive cut through on social media.

So yeah, he proved

both that the Greens were viable, as an electoral force, he kind of filled that gap.

I think it's fair to say, I mean, no disrespect to Adrian Ramsey and Carla Denya, that perhaps they, whilst they might have had some of the kind of latent support, what Polanski had that was different was firstly the energy.

And, you know, we talk about in the attention economy having to be everything everywhere all at once.

out.

Now, if you look at previous Green Party leaders, right, so it was Carla Denya and Adrian Ramsey.

Adrian Ramsey used to manage the Alternative Technology Centre in McConnelly.

Right.

Carla Denya was an engineer and a councillor in Bristol.

And then under...

So Sian Berry and Adrian Ramsey kind of starting to look more at where they could actually win parliamentary seats and starting to get those numbers up.

And then now Zach Polanski is kind of taking that more eco-populist approach by just trying to communicate that to the wider public.

Yeah, and they obviously had that movement.

This is an absolutely crunch issue for the entire environmental movement.

For anyone who's concerned about the summer that we've just had in the UK, the death toll that we've seen from people dying from the heat.

The concerns about food security, you know, Adrian Ramsey's doing a lot of work at conference and in the parliament about the issue of the report from the Joint Chiefs of Staff saying biodiversity collapse is a huge issue for Britain's food security, for Britain's security.

How, in all of that context, can they possibly approve Rosebank and Jackdaw?

And I say to the right honorable lady, we would do our armed forces well if we could agree on this crucial issue more across the floor of this house.

Kemi Badenoch reminded MPs that Andy Burnham had served as Shadow Home Secretary under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, who wanted to leave NATO, so she wasn't taking any lessons.

Last week, I set out how we would get to 3% by 2030.

Hear, hear.

Andy Burnham had read her plans to pay for more spending on defense.

He said her proposal to reduce the housing benefit bill by billions would create unprecedented levels of homelessness.

His party took a different, and judging by the reaction from opposition MPs, quite controversial view.

Yes, we do everything to support our national security, but it can't come at the expense of social security.

In another announcement, Israel's foreign minister, Gideon Saar, said he would ban 12 MPs and other citizens from Israel listing these people.

So you've got Jeremy Corbyn, Zahra Sultana, Fahad Ansari, who's a lawyer, Naz Shah, Diane Abbott, Hannah Spencer, Carla Denya, Sean Berry, Ellie Chowns, John McDonnell, Richard Bergen and Adrian Ramsey.

Four Labour MPs, two Your Party MPs, a lawyer and literally every sitting Green MP.

The Green Party have said this in response.
