Are We Failing The Next Generation? | Jordan Stephens | Zack Polanski
YouTube video by Bold Politics with Zack Polanski Are We Failing The Next Generation? | Jordan Stephens | Zack Polanski

This conversation feels so hopeful.

I feel hopeful that people as smart, articulate and kind as Jordan are committed to empowering the next generation.

Here's our conversation on education and young men. I loved it! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Zohran smiling on the street

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!

His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.

It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

The sooner we transition to battery electric #HGV the better. Reducing road freight volumes would also be good. #BEV

Green party surging as Polanskiโ€™s social media strategy w... Green Party membership has more than doubled, driven in part by its platform messaging on apps like TikTok

"Polanski has blended anger with hope.

โ€œHope is much more difficult to sell than outrage, but heโ€™s finding a way to do it that connects with people.โ€

Let's make hope normal again!

Trump sets refugee admissions cap for coming year at record low The president sets the limit at 7,500 for the coming year, a dramatic cut from 125,000.

Racist #Trump caps refugee admissions at record low - with most to be white South Africans. Hopefully #AndrewWindsor will now be forced to testify and bring this whole pile of disgusting cards down.

As long since observed, if corporations were human, we could rightfully regard them as dangerous psychopaths.

Stop expecting these entities to do the right thing. We either regulate them better or they behave like this.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Private Wire โ‰  Green Power โšก
Hydrogen from a biomass plant via a private wire might look โ€œgreenโ€ on paper โ€” but it just diverts power from the grid, which is then backfilled by gas. Clean accounting, not clean energy.

Ministers confirm plans to reduce Londonโ€™s affordable housing quotas Developers will qualify for fast-track planning status if they include 20% affordable housing instead of current 35% target

Govt reduces Londonโ€™s affordable housing quotas.

Developers to get subsidies if they include 20% affordable housing instead of current 35% target.

Bigger profits for developers.
Yielding to developers won't solve homelessness and poverty crisis.

Let councils build affordable homes.
