A wealth tax was never about taking money from the plumbers or the hairdressers. The billionaires that own the TV stations, the newspapers, the social media platforms and a lot of politicians wanted you to think it was though.

By Reform supporters’ logic and current soundbites, I think this means Reform are now in a coalition with Labour 🤷‍♂️

Zia Yusuf knows less about his own party than I do. Gill is not some rando who once met Nigel. Gill was Reform Leader in Wales and a close ally of Nigel Farage for over a decade before that across two other political parties. This is not something that can just be brushed away.

1,100 people reacted to this headline with a laughing emoji. This is what Farage and his fellow travellers have emboldened - the very worst in our society, who are seemingly dictating the UK’s political discourse. How sick in the head do you have to be to laugh at a child’s horrific death?

Pretty clear at the Welsh Labour conference that they have no strategy to claw back lost support other than to throw their toys out of the pram.

German media seems to be taking more seriously than ours the fact a leading light in the party UK press keeps saying will be next government took bribes from Russia to spout their lies. Maybe it’s because they put NEWS ahead of propaganda

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

The former leader of the party currently placed 2nd in the polls, ahead of Wales’ General Election next year, has pled guilty to being a Russian asset. This should be huge news.

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Farage built Brexit, and Brexit broke Britain. Nigel Farage is the cause of the mess we’re in - not the solution.

Facebook is getting as unhinged as X. So many morons taking Trump’s word on paracetamol as truth, what the hell is wrong with our society…. It’s utterly insane and deeply concerning.

Trump’s cognitive decline is clear for all to see. Just to be clear, I thought he was bonkers and gross anyway, but he’s getting worse and worse. That rant to the entire UN was absolutely unhinged.

The “Vote Reform” people/bots on Facebook are making my brain hurt, in particular regarding the Welsh General Election… It’s like having your library burnt down by people that can’t read.

“Free Speech” latest. Absurd. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The only consolation I can take from Reform polling at 29%, ahead of Wales’ General Election next year, is that every other party has ruled out working with them. Plaid Cymru minority government is my prediction at this stage, on the assumption the 30% mark is the ceiling for the hard right.

Not very active on Facebook; this interaction with a Reform supporter kind of highlights exactly why. It’s painful.

Brilliant advert from the Telegraph, if Zack is under their skin then you know he’s already making an impact.

"How long until Mandelson ends up in a high-paid consultancy somewhere? While another washed-up former Westminster insider ends up in Washington?" @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the resignation of Peter Mandelson, appointed by Keir Starmer as ambassador to the US.

If Starmer’s sacked the peadophile’s friend then surely he must cancel the state visit of the peadophile’s best friend, no?

"Zack Polanski said it was 'rank hypocrisy' for Nigel Farage to call for Angela Rayner's resignation and not to do so himself." inews.co.uk/news/green-p...

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Paddington is a bit bigger than I remembered…

"How significant is the fact that Tony Blairs involved in discussions about a post war Gaza?" Ash Sarkar: "Well I guess it's because Satan was unavailable"

Maybe I’m naive, but I never expected to see a fascist mob on the streets of Mold yelling support for Tommy Robinson and throwing sieg heils outside Poundland. All that a 15 minute drive from my house. I’m just deeply upset and worried for the future.

🎉 Absolutely buzzing to see us win this seat from Labour in Cardiff. 🥀 It couldn't be better timing with huge Senedd elections coming up in May 2026. 💚 People in Wales - as all over England - are voting Green and we're winning. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

What a fantastic result! 💚 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Next years Welsh General Election is shaping up to be a devastating result for the future of four country. Labour have been so uninspiring that droves of disillusioned people are being seduced by an Anglocentric ultra nationalist party that is part made up of people who think Wales shouldn’t exist.

"Metadata embedded in the Epstein video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro."

Don’t know why the media constantly refers to the ICE snatch squads in America as “Government agents,” they’re quite clearly a fascist paramilitary rather than law enforcement. Everyone can see it.

Oh no, he’s out with his Fisher-Price binoculars again to whip up hate and racism.

“How dare Wales have an international airport” 😡 😤 Honestly, just leave us alone.

Reform has lost 11 councillors and 2 MPs in a matter of months… and when I say ‘lost’ I mean, they’ve quit following rows, impropriety or inability to do their jobs. So, if Brexit weren’t proof enough, then this barrelling shitshow should confirm forever that they should be nowhere near govt.

Universities handing out honorary degrees really annoys me. These institutions charge students crippling fees to earn a degree through years of work and stress, which many spend decades paying off. Then hand out honorary degrees to celebrities for attention, clout and media exposure. Nah.

My Labour MP voted to designate 83yr old reverends, holding placards, as terrorists. Change.

Awkward one for the “IM VOTING REFORM COS THEYRE NOT AS BAD AS THE OTHER LOT” brigade. Their male MP that was jailed for violence against a woman is now facing other potentially serious repercussions.

Personally, I think joining the Greens would have done more for the collective left. But there we are, think Zack Polanski’s response to this development is correct re England. Can’t see the Corbyn Party gaining traction in Wales, where there’s already 2 well established left of Labour parties.

The UKGov is actively supporting the regime that massacred *at least* 26 civilians (actual deaths likely 40+) with 70+ injured. In the same week it designated non-violent protesters, calling this out, as terrorists. IDF won’t even name the so-called target. Shame. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

At this point, it feels like South Park have written the script for this Presidency. Genuinely think Garrison would do a better job too. abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...

Reform UK lost both of their first seat defences. And wasted the tax payer ~£50k in the process.

Of course Labour is setting the rozzers on pop singers. Sizzling with envy for entertainers, the friendless duffers around the Cabinet table were bound to seize the chance to pull on the jack boots in pursuit of Reform UK voters ✍️Ben Wildsmith wp.me/p8Mk4U-12b2

Same organisation that’s platformed the BNP and has given the far-right season tickets to Question Time btw.

Lower bills. Reduce rents. Fund our public services. It's time to tax wealth. Not work.

Reminder that today Reform UK are defending 2 seats in by-elections. Benfieldside and Newark West. Both caused by their councillors standing down after the local elections just days after being elected. Taxpayers’ money wasted today to the tune of circa £50k.

This is ridiculous. Isn’t assuming all Jewish staff are supportive of a genocidal foreign war machine the actual anti-Semitic factor here?

Pretty wild when a community council in Wales uses an archaic technicality to deny constituents access to their community council in Cymraeg. Shouldn’t have been allowed to happen.

Didn’t have Labour promising Wales an “Anal Growth Zone” on my 2026 Senedd Election bingo card.

Always the same with every underhanded rogue that’s exposed, demand to know who sources are so they can carry out retribution. Same in every organisation from the US Gov to YesCymru, scumbags caught out who then want the whistleblowers head on a spike. Hate it.

The guy who got fired wasn’t the problem.

He should be embarrassed at so boldly declaring to everyone that he hasn’t got a clue about the Welsh political scene. In what universe is a left wing pro independence party going to go into coalition with a fascist British ultra nationalist party and Badenoch’s Reform tribute act. Buffoon.
