'Just getting started': Zack Polanski reacts as Greens SECOND in new poll ZACK Polanski has welcomed a new poll putting his party in second place at Westminster.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

On 17/10/23, Health Sec. Wes Streeting was given Β£39,000 cash by big pharma lobbyist Kevin Craig. Since 2023, Labour cabinet members collectively raked in more than Β£500,000 from private healthcare companies. Does anyone seriously think those companies don't expect a return on their investment? #NHX

It is shocking how hateful opponents can be. It it the same with the Mayor of London. Fortunately, he was reelected despite this. I hope that’s a portent for NYs future.

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities?

If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

New Journal Report: Cass Review β€œEchoes Fallacies Promoted By Anti-Trans Disinformation” While American lawyers pushed the anti-trans Cass Review this week, Australia’s top scholars rebuked it.

1. A new journal report in the prestigious Medical Journal of Australia eviscerates the Cass review, saying it is filled with fallacies and launders anti-trans disinformation.

It methodically goes through each problem in the review.

Damn. This is amazing. Β£325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
