Imagine if the greens got the same media coverage & hype like Nigel Faright's Reform?!

Media hype making it out as though Reforms got majority support to sway the floating voters.
Reality is most would prefer an alternative like the Greens who address real issues instead of pandering to xenophobia

okay, brace yourselves for this folks.

An english politician speaking honestly and (in my view) accurately, without a hint of spin, racism or rhetoric. And the audience clapped!

This is not AI. this actually happened on BBC last night. πŸ‘‡

(the new leader of the UK Greens Party: Zack Polanski)

Britain missing out on potential Β£2bn recycling industry by exporting plastic waste Exclusive: Government failure to close loophole allows 600,000 tonnes to be shipped elsewhere each year

I visited the waste recycling centre in Leeds a few months ago
I saw waste that could be exported or buried, being sorted, sifted, processed, ready to be transformed into something useful

The material that couldn't be recycled was turned into high-end aggregate

Zack Polanski, "The four wealthiest people in this country have more wealth than 20 million people"

"Inequality in our society is absolutely huge"

"We need to be taxing the super rich"

Let’s make different political choices.

For decades now British people have been told to simply swallow austerity. They’ve been told that the NHS needs cuts, that libraries need closing and that child poverty can’t be tackled.

Greens say: Bullshit!
Join the Green Party today.

Graphic. Cut out of Zack Polanski saying " Zia, do you ever think immigration is the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?" In speech bubble. Cut out of Zia Yusuf from Reform below.

Weird how immigration dominates every headline.

A proper fighter is Zack. Back him and the greens and take the fight for the soul of the country mainstream. Hold reform and the rest of the tories including Labour to account. The very least we should have is a proper opposition. I feel hopeful at least that will be achieved and reform kept out

Bad people can thrive in their lifetimes, but history will (almost) always catch up with them eventually.

Trump can preen and pout and posture all he likes, but his only reward will be eventual ignimony.

In the meantime, every well-deserved slap in his face should be treasured.

The @ciwf.org.uk honest labelling quiz shows how misleading labels on Chicken products can be.

I found the quiz fascinating, and it really highlighted the need for a Mandatory method of production labelling. I wholeheartedly support this campaign. www.ciwf.org.uk/our-campaign...

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

London hits clean air milestone 184 years early - ULEZ makes 'big difference' A professor has branded the success a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality'

β€œLondon hits 'historic' clean air milestone 184 years early…a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality.”

Quite a leadership achievement for @london.gov.uk’s government! While nations talk, (some) cities act. And get results.

A brilliant performance from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #bbcqt last night.

Voters who saw it will be in no doubt that the Green Party is about way more than just the environment.

And that Labour and the Tories are done and the battle is between Reform and the Green Party.

Reform UK’s Councillor Rowland O’Connor, St. Columb Major, has resigned from the party.

A conspiracy theorist who claimed 17m people have died from the COVID vaccine, among many other claims.
