RT: @TheGreenParty "Hannah Spencer won with a majority of over 4,000. I think that’s because of the Green Party’s pledge to lower people’s bills, protect the NHS, and rebuild public services. That’s why we’ve just hit 200,000 new members as well.”
Zack Polanski, on #BBCLauraK, announcing the Green
RT: @tuba_col Just clicked on #bbclaurak, to catch up with what went on and the first handfull of those critical of Zack Polanski had lots of numbers after their names (Bot Farm). Fortunately Bots can't vote.🤣
Patel says on #bbclaurak about the bombing on Iran, without a hint of any irony whatsoever, that "We have to learn from the past"
#Bbclaurak asks Pritti Patel about the legality
"We don't know if it was illegal, Any country which has the prospect of imminent attack is entitled to take action," she says as if she was quoting some international governance 🙄
#bbclaurak says to Pritti Patel, "There were negotiations ongoing so why act now?"
PP "We can't just speculate and say all was going well"
LK "But we have spoken to man who was in those negotiations, and he thought there was progress."
PP "The Americans did not think that, and the Israelis did not think that either. So for them to have taken action as they did they must have felt their countries were under threat"

#bbclaurak asks an official from Tehran if Iranians can have democracy and can women go out with their hair uncovered
He replies, "According to the definition, Iranians do have democracy"
The clip is short, and we learn little
RT: @BBCPolitics “We’ve seen an illegal and unprovoked attack”
Green Party leader Zack Polanski says the UK government should condemn Donald Trump and try and foster “de-escalation” and “negotiation” in the Middle East
RT: @class_bore Zack Polanski quite rightly incredulous that John Healey failed to condemn the US / Israeli ‘illegal & unprovoked attack on Iran.’ #bbclaurak
#bbclaurak tries to buttonhole #Polanski by quoting Galloway's party result of 10% on the GE of 2004 and his refusal to run in in the GandD by election
"Were you glad to have him on your side?"
ZP replies, "She did pretty well on her own"
"I need to see to the PM on TV get out and condemn these illegal and unprovoked strikes," #polanski on #BBCLauraK
"The moment Israel bombed a school and killed 80 children we knew that international law was not being obeyed.
So, the very first prerequisite is to make sure we uphold international law. Once you begin to do that, then you have a framework within which you can negotiate, but right now, we don't even have that framework because international law is eroding before our very eyes and that is making us all less safe" #Polanski on #bbclaurak
RT: @zcelticboy "There is no example in history where you've bombed people into democracy"
Zack Polanski on #BBCLauraK speaking about the US illegal attack on Iran
"What evidence have you that negotiation would have worked?" Asks #bbclaurak to #Polanski
"Because the moment you rule out negotiation, you are heading for war, and I don't think the British public would tolerate that"
He goes on
"The question then becomes negotiation is not working, so we bomb them, or do we work harder at making negotiation work"
RT: @Taufiqurrahman4 Eyes are on Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party after the Manchester by election win by his party.
He seems impressive fighting of #bbclaurak this morning bombarding him on Iran.
"Under President Obama we saw progress with Iran," #Polanski reminds us of the successful diplomatic initiative with Iran, the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, the one that Trump ripped up for no good reason other than it was an 'Obama idea'
"I don't have the answer to peace and stability in the region, but I do know there's no example in history where you bomb people to democracy," said #Polanski on #BBCLauraK
Zack Polanski on #BBCLauraK refers to the attack on Iran as "The law of the jungle"
Healey is on #BBCLauraK saying that Starmer has called for Iran to 'return to back to diplomatic talks'
Which is precisely what they were doing the day before the Americans and Israeli decided to break off those talks saying they "were unproductive" and then, some 24 hours later, rain missiles down on their cities!
RT: @dr_shibley Absolutely correct for @ZackPolanski to uphold international law and for Starmer to be public on this. #bbclaurak
