Absolutely, my heart lies with the Green Party but I will have to use my vote in any way I can to stop Reform

I guarantee the tax rises won’t be aimed at the wealthy and the cuts will only affect the poor. The Labour Party has lost its values. Just a Tory party pretending they give a shit now. The Green Party is the only option for progressive politics.

If they sell to American oil companies, there will be very little wealth going to Venezuela and the wealth that does go there will go to the few not the many. The British in India made sure the maharajas were wealthy but the people starved. The playbook hasn’t changed

The Labour vote needs to collapse totally and everyone who would have voted labour needs to wake up and vote Plaid

Maybe he’s trying to get control of Venezuela’s oil reserves? Why else would he be there. He only follows money.

Current President of Venezuela, not a nice bloke, an authoritarian leader. Opposition leader (just won peace prize), pro America and pro Trump and will sell all of Venezuela’s oil rights to American oil companies. Thus Trump gets a puppet state, oil companies get money Venezuelans get zilch.

We need tax on wealth and investment in public services, not more Tory lite shit. They are playing into Farage’s hands if they don’t change track.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of Β£800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Starmer is killing the Labour Party. I, and many others like me have left the Labour Party after lifelong membership and have jointed the Green Party.

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny Insiders have told Byline Times, it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

Byline Times has been told by various sources that Farage has maintained a close interest in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia…
But Farage’s ignorance of this particular set of pro-Russian influencers around Nathan Gill is even more questionable….

95,000 members reached.

And with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Question Time tonight, it is very much possible we hit 100,000 tomorrow, or on Saturday.

I am speechless. I remember saying only 2 days ago we would hit 100,000 members by November. Not anymore.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

The Tory party is finished
Before the next election I’d expect 50% of the 114 MP’s to have defected to Reform, sad to say this but unless the Labour Party wake up they are on the same trajectory. We need progressive policies now, not more Tory lite shit if we are to avoid a Reform government
