Zack Polanski says NHS figure lobbying for Palantir 'absolutely stinks' He’s right

Literally leaped out of my office chair to perform a one-woman standing ovation to my laptop screen after reading this 💚👏👏👏👏💚

Changes with last week: Reform: 24 (-2) Greens: 20 (+2) Tories: 17 (-1) Labour: 16 (+1) LDs: 10 (-2)

this is a masterclass response to Mahmood's latest hate mongering from Zack.

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Inside Labour HQ 💚

Zack Polanski sounds sincere and authentic. He seems unafraid of the truth. Starmer, Farage and Badenoch all lie through their teeth. Most is us can tell you know.

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

Gorton & Denton made one thing very clear. Despite their desperate attempts to divide us - many of us choose compassion and kindness. They want us to believe we’re a divided society. But it’s amazing what happens when people are given an alternative. That’s what really scares them.

the stark contrast with the corbyn years is that zack is 'oppositional'. no caveating or placating. it's, correctly, stating obvious moral positions and defending them. refreshing.

The Home Secretary’s own MPs see through this. She is desperate and dangerous. People are joining the alternative: join.greenparty.org.uk

When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences. He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics. Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Plumber wins by-election for Greens From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Zack Polanski has the best approval rating of any major party leader.

Yup, that’s why I am now a positive Green voter, and prob that way forever. Love & hope forever! 💚♾️

Paloma Faith, "Why do people keep voting for the bad guys?" Zack Polanksi, "People vote for the bad guy because they're in their feelings, of hate and fear" "What's great for us - the Greens - is love and hope, which are stronger emotions"

Zack Polanski threatens us all with a goooooood time

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts. Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir. This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

It's so healing to hear someone say this with confidence & out loud (rather than feel the need to pander to the far-right's xenophobia).

Migration is part of what makes this country great. We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours. The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

In 63 days time - we're planning to win seats right across England and Wales. And yes - in London! www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

britain would look like @zackpolanski.bsky.social in a tv studio, apparently

As revealed by my colleague @adambienkov.bsky.social last year, the BBC drew up a strategy to appeal more to Reform voters. Might be waiting a while for them to do the same for Green voters...

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again". Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means. Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down. news.sky.com/story/greens...

i can't tell you how nice it is to hear ANY politician saying things like this with their whole chest in this atmosphere. american, UK, canadian, wherever. I'm so used to either hearing how we're the spawn of satan, or how we need to be thrown under the bus to win, or at best, delicately ignored

It's amazing how journalists can't accept that both of these statements can simultaneously be true. Zack is the sensible voice yet again.

Real privilege to speak at the launch of Trans Actual recent report. Absolute solidarity with the trans community and everyone working so hard for a better future for trans and non binary people. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ t.co/FkDFb5CSpR

It's so bad for the Greens if they win elections, it'll spell their defeat - all those on the right wing must do their duty and vote for the Green party in order to ensure their downfall

Every headline like this is a confession. They are rattled and it ain't The Green Party.

Handouts to oil and gas firms while people face likely bill hikes. Reckless and irresponsible at a time when we should be doubling down on renewables not cutting tax to fossil fuel fuel giants. We need a plan to protect people from the coming price shock.

This is my new favourite meme

A lot better than the present shit show!

I've been really enjoying Bold Politics with Zack Polanski recently @zackpolanski.bsky.social These are extended, genuine, and insightful conversations with really interesting people at the heart of current issues in Britain. Grace and courtesy make for quality, informative content.

Not only does @feargalsharkey.bsky.social have opinions, they're pretty awesome - and he has the facts to back them up. 🤩 Want to know the cost of bringing those water companies back under public ownership? 👇🌊

Well worth a listen. Feargal speaks with incredible knowledge, passion and all the spirit of a punk legend - with Zack asking all the right questions.

First time I've seen someone decide winning an election is bad for the winning party.

The Telegraph, ladies and gentlemen—still trapped in the 1880s

We're live on YouTube with the brilliant @feargalsharkey.bsky.social He's got opinions.... youtu.be/MPo3_0DjgyU

“Why winning elections and gaining in the polls is bad, actually.” - A very intelligent Telegraph opinion haver.

Going live with Feargal Sharkey on Bold Politics shortly. Absolutely brilliant conversation on water, bond markets and the future of the UK: youtu.be/MPo3_0DjgyU

Was waiting for the 'why this victory is actually bad for the Greens' nonsense, inevitable

Telegraph acknowledges Green Party has won a "seismic byelection." And then there have been two polls this week showing us way in front of Labour and closing in on Reform? Rattled? We're growing rapidly! Join.greenparty.org.uk

Nice. Aaron Bastani’s interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social in the immediate aftermath of Hannah Spencer’s historic win in Gorton and Denton.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Greens are a breath of fresh air in the fetid atmosphere of British politics.

We must reject the false dilemma stirred up by the right wing. That you must choose one or the other is a logical fallacy. You can champion a people’s fight for democracy AND condemn the slaughter of those people. It is not a contradiction, it is dual condemnation.

Dear media, it's really not that difficult. Please stop being so disingenuous. Yours, every sane person.

Some calm-headed, commonsense is finally surfacing in UK politics
