Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire. Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines. Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

I've just come out of the inner east community committee meeting, only 6 out of the 12 (6 labour councillors missing) turned up for a statutory meeting. Greens will continue representing Gipton and Harehills and fighting for our community

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising” Daisy Cooper

Bruce’s obvious right-wing bias is disturbing, to say the least, on a debate show such as QT. Zack Polanski handled the situation perfectly, acting like a true leader. His integrity, compassion, and honesty shone through and the audience responded.

So gas and electricity prices are set to rise again - because we have to pay for substantial infrastructure upgrades. I wonder how much infrastructure could have been upgraded if private companies hadn’t spent over 30 years stealing our money for a few shareholders?

Some patients do attend A&E with problems that could be dealt with by other healthcare services. However, the article makes clear this cadre represents 2% of patients. If you really want to reduce pressure on A&Es, offer Covid vaccines free for all. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Labour showing everyone what they are. Take note! Rather than give informed, insightful and structured responses to questions, they’d rather try to derail those they are threatened by. Thank god for Zack Polanski! 👏🏼

Oh yeah. That's the stuff. While right-wing hate movements lean on racism and bigotry to whip up support, and political centrists are too squeamish to stand against them, it's great to see a politician like @zackpolanski.bsky.social who knows that immigration is essential, and an unambiguous good.

As the United States carries out illegal attacks at sea, we must defend international law, speak up for peace, and say without hesitation: no war with Venezuela.

Jury trials in England & Wales for crimes that carry a likely sentence of less than 3 years will be scrapped. Bad move Money may be saved but justice and trust in the system will be the biggest casualty. Poor and minorities at the mercy of toff judges.

The thing about NATO is the USA has already left. But they are still in control of it. Please tell me what's the use of an organisation that will force you to do what someone else (Donald Trump) demands, but won't protect you at all. While you pay a fortune into it.

In the 1960s more than 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government, everything spent on Water, Oil, Gas, Coal, Electricity, Social Housing, Telecoms, Steel, Ships... Now it's less than 5%, the rest all goes to billionaires Tax Havens That's why there is no money

By eroding trial by jury, the government is cementing its legacy as a bulldozer of our human rights. This is the behaviour of authoritarian regimes! The right to a jury trial is a fundamental tenet of democracy. We cannot let it be destroyed.

Juries are one of our most important safeguards against authoritarianism. There is an emergency in our courts which needs tackling – but addressing that doesn’t require ripping up rights. https://www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec/02/david-lammy-proposals-jury-trials

Wes Streeting insists that NHS health records are not for sale. But handing them to a company like Palantir shatters any chance of public trust ⬇️ https://goodlaw.social/658abc

Mercury, lead, arsenic + PFAS: Europe's hidden historic landfills leaching chemicals into water, soil + ecosystems. Our new joint report with @investigate-europe.eu, out now: share.google/gQ0rXbwL4rjN...

Because they were created before we had environmental rules, many older landfills have no lining, they don't have filtration systems for rainwater runoff, + there were no restrictions on what could go into them - think of lead acid batteries, old flypaper treated with arsenic, PFOA on old pans.

Striking in this debate hosted by @krishgm.bsky.social how many people in the comments are saying that a wealth tax at this point is so obvious. Is it any surprise that the Labour Governments response is to continually try and take swipes at the Green Party? youtu.be/1onr7pAEFRE?...

Why does this government find it so hard to tell Israel: you’re wrong, what you’re doing is illegal, and we are not going to let you get away with genocide.

The rich keep getting richer. The poor keep getting poorer. Nothing will change until we bring about a fundamental redistribution of wealth, ownership and power.

We will never forget the role this government played in the genocide in Gaza.

Austerity 2.0. Attacks on disabled people. Arming genocide. The Labour Party has turned a fundamental corner — and I don’t see it coming back. Watch my full interview with @newstatesman1913.bsky.social here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4vw...

Trial by jury is a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism. It is truly frightening that such a fundamental freedom is now under attack. Once rights are lost, they are not easy to win back. We must resist this with all we’ve got.

I guess the brave BBC will be sandblasting Orwell's "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear" off the front of Broadcasting House?

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : ""We have a housing crisis, a climate crisis and an inequality crisis, and what we all want to see from this budget is not tough choices for working class communities, for migrants, for disabled people, but tough choices for multi millionaires & billionaires"

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began. Why has this disappeared from the headlines? The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Oil and gas lobbyists have no legitimate role at climate conferences. We need COP30 to put people and planet first, not polluters. #ClimateJustice #COP30

We need solutions, not scapegoats. Stop attacking asylum seekers and tax the rich instead!

We sent a damning response to the consultation on the Rosebank oil field. Rosebank's oil could generate 254 million tonnes of CO₂e equivalent over its lifetime. Equinor's claim this would "not cause significant harm" is dishonest. www.wealdactiongroup.org.uk/2025/11/weal...

Let's see if we can get similar swings in Birmingham at the council elections in May and #TurnBrumGreen!

History will judge this government very harshly for its cruel and inhumane treatment of asylum seekers.

Finally a leader of a political party speaking with the passion and anger this disgusting act by Labour of attacking the most vulnerable deserves. Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social for speaking on behalf of so many who before didn't have a voice 💚🙌

Think this is going to push a lot, if not most, of voters to the Greens. The right wing appeasement rather than practical improvements show Labour are not a party of serious government. Party before country. Feel confident in backing the Greens, more moral and genuine with practical solutions.

Thames Water bidder offering £1bn extra cash injection. 30%+ of the customer bill covers interest payments. Any private owner would want profit, dividends, sewage dumping will continue, customers will be fleeced. Must end the profit motive. Nationalise water industry.

Trump Says Military Strikes In Mexico To ‘Stop Drugs’ Are ‘Okay With Me’. This is another version of imperialism, and way of distracting attention from domestic problems caused by cost of living, troops in the streets. How many countries will he attack and then say he needs to stay in office?
