@zackpolanski.bsky.social's Greens have got the establishment rattled

Fungi growing in a woodland, it looks remarkably like zombie fingers reaching up from the ground

When in the woods, best beware of dead man's fingers lurking there.
Reaching up above the ground, a creepy fungi to be found.

Happy Halloween everyone.

I’ve watched this. Most people have.
This is racism.
Does the H of C have different rules?
Or is it called something else?
Is this why the person who calls it out (@dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social in this instance) gets told to “mind her language“ instead?
Surreal.

King Charles strips Andrew of prince title and ejects him from mansion Royal subject to ‘censures deemed necessary’ in sharp change of tone by Buckingham Palace

This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected.

An act of self-preservation.

If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago.

They didn't.

'Manufactured panic': Immigration not near top of most people's concerns, poll suggests The cost of living, health, crime, and housing are much higher on people's lists of personal worries, a YouGov survey has suggested.

The DWP just admitted it's scrapped a crucial report on disability benefits It seems that DWP bosses are now trying to make things even more complicated for disabled people - as it's binned a major report

By scrapping this report the DWP are intentionally muddying the waters for campaigners.
We need a benefit system based on support, compassion and empathy not demonisation and making savings to fund military build up.

Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD.

Actually and literally.

#R4Today saying house price rises will improve 'affordability' because 2.4% is below income growth rate 🤔
Does ANYONE in the UK think housing is 'affordable'?
The system is broken.
House prices must fall along with a flood of new council properties being built if we're ever to challenge inequality

One Thing Leading To Another By Bernie Bell. We went into Kirkwall to see an exhibition at the Orkney Museum and had a wander round town. I took some pics of the Halloween windows presented by some of the shops, and posted the…

Delighted to see Prince Andrew stripped of his titles but this should not be a Roal Prerogative but a principle that those acting dishonourably should lose their honours.

And Nandy just looked confused!

Two Die in NYC Basements as Squall Brings Massive Rain Burst to City Two men, one in Central Brooklyn and another in Upper Manhattan, were found dead in flooded areas after intense rain arrived late on Thursday.

I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight.

This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.

Those numbers (as is typical) exclude people who say "Don't Know" (one third!)

Interestingly, women and under 54s - good demographics for Greens - are even more likely to say "Don't know".

If we win them over, we could see quite a big jump in our polling.

Opinion | Why Melissa hit Jamaica so hard The number of storms that leap from Category 1 to Category 3 or higher within 36 hours “more than doubled” over a 20-year period.

I wrote for @msnbc.com about Hurricane Melissa, Jamaica, rapid intensification, emissions imbalances, and what a storm that strong might do to the US:

Tesco makes so much profit it could afford to feed Birmingham for free all year.

And it would still only halve its profits.

Reform UK supporting Matt Goodwin says because we are broke taxes have to go up

Brexit costs us £40 billion a year in lost tax income from trade with the EU, this is why we are broke

If you vote for Reform you're voting for the same people who made us broke, to fix us being broke 🤷‍♂️ #BBCQT

All these pols talks about how expensive healthcare is in the US, but they won’t actually admit why, which is a gang of private insurance companies extracting billions in profits as “middlemen”. Your healthcare insurance company doesn’t provide any REAL benefit, they just gatekeep access.

I actually did this 33 years ago. Told him I chose the cat over him every time because he could fend for himself. We've been married 28 years now. And still have 2 cats.

The anger about needing a wealth tax and a heavy exit tax in this country is palpable from this audience.

Why won't Labour do it?

The Greens will. #bbcqt

"Wealth taxes have never ever worked"

...mate they are working in Spain RIGHT NOW.

They have about 30 billionaires and they raise £3bn a year from wealth taxing them.

We've got about 160 billionaires.

Do the maths. #bbcqt

Virginia Giuffre’s book is heartbreaking, jaw dropping, and so profound

Of course, Nobody’s Girl is a terrible portrait of the perversity, cruelty and impunity of the rich and powerful, but it’s also the most searing and honest account of abuse I’ve ever read (and I’ve read many)

Honestly immigration isn't even in my top 100 concerns. Yet it takes up 90% of political oxygen. #bbcqt
