YouTube video by BBC Politics Zack Polanski challenged on “unproductive wealth”, welfare and international relations

Thanks for all the kind comments!

I do agree that the Green Party seems to be interviewed with so much more hostility than anyone else.

But you know what - bring it on. 💚

SCAM LABOUR CAUGHT CREATING FAKE TACTICAL VOTING WEBSITE Screenshot of a tweet that reads: The Movement Forward | StopTheTories.vote @MVTFWD A Warning: there is no tactical voting site called "Tactical Choice" If you choose to vote tactically it's important to seek independent, impartial advice. And always check the source online, as printed leaflets could be out of date, or even intentionally misleading. #GortonAndDenton Promoted by Miles Thorpe on behalf of Hannah Spencer, both at 173 Mount Road, Gorton, Manchester, M18 7QT.

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets.

Lying to voters is all they have left.

All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.

Best of luck Hannah!

So sad that these efforts were crushed.

Yes! Big banks!

Sad!

We can move beyond the capitalist model and save the climate – here are the first three steps | Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratise our economy and a better world is within our grasp, say Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis

“Our existing economic system, capitalism, is incapable of addressing the social and ecological crises we face in the 21st century.”

Oh, and
4. Despite the demand for proportional representation from Labour members, Starmer won't change
our ridiculous First Past the Post system. So he's in no position to blame anyone for "splitting the vote".

Water bills up again.

The Green Party will lower bills by ending the privatised water company rip off. Water must be taken into public ownership now.

Analysis: UK newspaper editorial opposition to climate action overtakes support for first time - Carbon Brief Nearly 100 UK newspaper editorials opposed climate action in 2025, a record figure that reveals the backlash against net-zero in the right-leaning press

Two things to learn from this.
1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors.
2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie.

Rumours are circulating that banks have been let off the hook *again* in this year's Autumn Budget, despite making record-breaking windfall profits from higher interest rates.

Cop28 is a farce rigged to fail, but there are other ways we can try to save the planet | George Monbiot Inaction and self-interest are built into climate summits. Instead, we need a voting system that can’t be subverted by fossil fuel producers, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Two years ago, I wrote this about how the COP climate summits are designed to fail, and how they could be designed to succeed. Sadly, nothing has changed.

Shocking and cruel.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Its decision to leave the Tory appointees in post at the BBC is one of so many Labour have made that I can't begin to understand. Any guesses?

Make Keir Starmer step up on climate The government is failing to tackle global heating – so we’re forcing it to take action

The Government needs to get serious about climate change. And it hasn't so we're suing. But this is the longest and most expensive legal letter Good Law Project has ever sent - and it involves a huge team of specialist lawyers. And we really could use your help. goodlaw.social/4cqi

Great to see from @libdemdaisy.bsky.social 👏

Reeves must #TaxTheBanks and their windfall profits in the Budget - she could bring in over *£14 billion* from the Big Four banks alone.
