Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social, I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all. Thanks, Zack Polanski

The Government wants to push through water legislation, locking in a failed privatised system for decades without giving the public a say. I’ve signed the petition to stop this water stitch-up and demand a public consultation. Add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

The thing is, Keir, they do have the activist base, because it is in no small part the old labour activist base that you chased away. 💀

not accepting election losses, casting non-white votes as illegitimate, are defining features of trumpian fascism

A week ago Velvet had just been attacked by dogs and needed 30 stitches. This is what she's like today. 🩷

The fascists are already making unsubstantiated claims about uk byelection misconduct. 🙄 Observers were free to report what they say they saw, to poll station staff, but instead they all weirdly waited til polling closed then claimed they witnessed things that no officials saw. Trump playbook

The Labour party didn't just lose - they disgraced themselves. For a start, their campaign was based on lies. They shamelessly lied through their teeth that the Greens weren't in the running.

We took your advice Keir.

This kind of stuff isn’t going to work when the new Green MP is a white working class plumber.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social, Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform? I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

I've been meaning to write something about Bluey for at least the last couple of years, and I've finally gotten around to it. unexpecteddelirium.substack.com/p/single-par...

Who has signed off the NHS advert that reckons people who have OCD are fine unless you stack the dishwasher incorrectly?

The moderate Sensible position in the UK is that hereditary dictatorship by a family of racist nonces is good because they bring in less tourist money than Legoland Windsor.

Typical far right disinformation promising to solve a problem which doesn't exist! "Church of England rules do not permit former churches to be turned into Mosques. This is just another attempt to stir division amongst us." www.gbnews.com/politics/ref...

Worth noting that it's not the sexual assault and child trafficking allegations that have resulted in Andrew being arrested. But he fucked with sensitive govt and commercial info, and that's the real unforgivable crime, it seems.

In a landmark step for environmental protection - Scotland has become the first country in the United Kingdom to place swift bricks into law. If Scotland can do it so can we!

Heavens to Betsy … what could the problem be? I guess we’ll need a Sherlock Holmes to solve this puzzler … 👀

The much-missed Jeremy Hardy died seven years ago. In addition to his Radio 4 work, he had a column for @redpeppermag.bsky.social - here are some highlights:

What at least some of the ruling global 'elite' really think and want: mass genocide of the plebs. We have a system that seeks out THE most moronic, evil, psychopathic individuals, and hands them the greatest power. Understanding that is central to the fight against climate & ecological breakdown.

Blaming badgers for TB in cattle misses the point that it is intensive animal farming itself that is to blame for the spread of the disease.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

Rupert Lowe appears to be a closet vegan. I doubt that will go down well with his supporters.

Drop the charges. 🇵🇸

Luke is part of a government that is selling off our NHS data to a US spy tech firm, Palantir. Luke is part of a government that is subservient to Donald Trump - a dangerous President who wants to annex Greenland. Luke is part of a government that is increasingly desperate & utterly rudderless.

Those mocking Polanski for tearing up about greyhounds completely miss the point. We’ve been governed by sociopaths for 15 years who let 250,000 die from austerity and cheered & laughed their way through it all. Finally, we have someone capable of empathy.

They're currently rioting in Argentina because new labour laws have been passed. Be careful what you vote for. All the right parties want this free market rip up of workers rights.

What has the Daily Mail got against greyhounds? You can catch our podcast on @boldpolitics.bsky.social With over a million plays a month, watch/listen to Gorton & Denton candidate Hannah Spencer on all streaming platforms now.

This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services. Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you. Please do keep sharing! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.
