πŸŽ‰ Lots of people have said they joined the party following this interview!

Voters want and are desperate for a positive and bold alternative to the failure of Labour and the Tories.

I think this polling reflects that. The energy this leadership campaign has generated is transformative.

Voting closes at the end of the month. Remember to vote!

Millionaire exodus did not occur, study reveals - Tax Justice Network The number of millionaires widely reported in the news to be leaving countries in "exodus" represented near-0% of all millionaires.

Difficult to imagine why media companies owned by multi millionaires and billionaires have been so keen to promote false stories about wealth taxes.

Let's stop this nonsense.

Tax the rich.

It turns out reports of a 'millionaire exodus' from the UK last year were completely unfounded.

I've just watched Attenborough's Oceans film. It's excellent. But my overwhelming feeling is "at last!" I've been waiting, and fruitlessly lobbying, for a film like this for 40 years. But the institutional cowardice of the broadcasters has stymied such projects, until now.

Have you watched the Dale Vince Novara interview this week?
He was really upbeat about some of what Labour are achieving around climate.

Darshna Soni, "Look what happened after Brexit"

"This line shows the new points based system introduced under Boris Johnson, and net migration soared to more than 900,000"

#C4News casually calling out Boris Johnson's Brexit lie that he would bring migration down

Particularly with Zack stepping up with the eco populist plan. I keep hoping the few principled Labour MPs just defect to the Greens.

It's baffling isn't it? Are they physically incapable of going against corporate/ wealthy / lobbyist interest. I don't see how they can't see their fate at the end of this trajectory.

β€˜I thought politics was a dirty thing’ – Zack Polanski on his β€˜eco-populist’ vision for the Green party He’s worked as an actor and a hypnotherapist – and has even been arrested. The Greens’ leadership challenger has had an unconventional route into politics and he’s ready to take on Labour and Reform

"We create divisions between the working & middle class, when the real problem is people earning more in their sleep than you could earn in your life."

If the Green Party had the same coverage as Reform it would be them winning in a landslide.

But of course the Green Party would actually tax the billionaires, so they won't platform them.
