💬 "This boring technocratic centrism has failed. It failed for Sunak, it failed for Biden, it failed for Starmer. People need something different." ✅️ Gary Stevenson is right - it's time for a wealth tax.

For the people who insist Starmer is a "decent man" and "good on foreign policy" the evidence suggests otherwise.

You know what to do. Let's make it happen. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Daytime phone-in shows are major media nodes of right wing radicalisation. We are warned of the need for fact checking yet we are fed this stream of unverified callers with anecdotal "evidence" and son-of-the-soil opinions, "simple as."

Everybody blames Farage, yet - It isn’t Farage who is deporting him. It isn’t Farage who has introduced the policies that allows his deportation. It isn’t Farage who could stop it We all agree Farage is despicable. That he set the agenda. But this government willingly chose to follow it

Example number 9874 of Bridget Phillipson acting like a foreign intelligence asset by destroying our universities. This Labour government is NOT on our side.

There will be a hurry to get all sorts of nasty stuff done by Starmer on behalf of whoever it is - the Heritage Foundation, the ADF, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, before Andy Burnham takes office and tries to convince us he's nice really but can't do anything about previous fascisms.

I would call the government clowns but they’d dislike that as that would imply they had done some performing arts training.

How strong is that fan?!?

Utter cunts. Yet another attack on the neurodivergent and disabled. On a benefit that actually helps many people stay in work.

Yes, but this just means British politics is corrupt and insultingly stupid even by the standards of comparable countries and I mean, have you seen what politics is like in those countries?

‘In the midst of a funding crisis, shocking amounts of public money are being taken out of our communities in the form of private profit,’ he told the conference delegates www.localgov.co.uk/Polanski-cal...

Video games are good, they're so good man. It's very sad that a cabal of money idiots has ruined them for everyone

I am hot and tired, so allow me to be blunt. If you support remigration, if you support removing some people's rights etc etc, you are a bigot. Nature of my work is finding that 5% level we can all agree on and build from there, but don't be shocked by being called a bigot when you side with bigots.

When did Labour become the party who wants to tax those who clean buildings more than those who own them? This can’t be right. The Green Party would equalise Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax.

This is all part of this government repeated attacks against disabled individuals though, and a complete lack of understanding about ADHD, autism, anxiety etc. Neurodivergent individuals are among the highest groups not to be in full time employment. 2/

Cutting PIP for ADHD, autism anxiety etc is the perfect example of government policies looking to grab headlines while actually costing more. PIP helps support many people to work. Cutting it means they risk being unable to, that means more costs in the long term. 1/ inews.co.uk/news/politic...

As well as everything else, this is an attack on working class expression and opportunity. The public school crowd will still get training and careers in the arts. This is a Labour government telling working class creatives to know their place and not get any funny ideas.

Farage is the epitome of everything that's wrong with British politics - backed by big money and Donald Trump and stoking division in our communities. We wont' stand in the Clacton stunt election - but we will focus relentlessly on this ultimate establishment stooge.

UK income tax personal allowance frozen at £12,570 since 2021. If increased in line with inflation, it would be £16,048 for 2026/27. As a result, in 2026/27 someone earning £17,000 will pay additional £696 in income tax and £278 in national insurance. All because govts appease the rich.

Fiscal drag explained ⬇️ They tell the voter they are not putting up taxes, but they force everyone to pay more, including minimum income earners (and state pension recipients in 2027/28) already living in or on the poverty line

Imagine how shocked everyone at the Telegraph must be, to learn that their former wunderkind Nigel is actually just a dishonest crook with some tiresome sales patter for imbeciles. Imagine how betrayed they must feel, at having supported and promoted such a person. I bet they’ll apologise soon.

Bridget Phillipson acts like she’s a foreign intelligence asset. Here she is destroying the creative arts in the U.K.

Excellent! Good decision! 💚💚💚 Thank you @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social

"a desperate stunt from a desperate politician whose lifetime of grifting is finally catching up with him. Greens will play no part in his political circus & instead remain laser-focused on winning in the Greater Manchester by-election." @zackpolanski.bsky.social greenparty.org.uk/2026/07/07/g...

Will the BBC ever do such a thing.. bsky.app/profile/osin...

British drama school training is the envy of the world and, as more film + TV jobs are moving to the UK, our drama schools are the backbone of a global industry. These cuts are artistic vandalism and economic stupidity.

This is Labour's going "further and faster" with destroying the post-war settlement which built his country. From hounding trans kids to dismantling the arts. The very worst of unapologetic Thatcherism destroying all our futures.

This is NUTS. Our theatre & entertainment sector brings so much money into this country and so many people to this country to see it. £11.5bn in '22.

Nigel Farage has failed people in Clacton. Im certain I've done more work than him in the four months I've been here than he's done in two years. People in Clacton deserve so much more than this shameful stunt.

Deary me. Caught in the act of corruption, blaming "the establishment" when he represents the very worst of wealth and power. Please, help me find my tiny violin... And in the meantime, let's reform our political system so our democracy is no longer tainted by big money.

Now seems to be a good time to remind Farage I’m still up for debating him. Anytime.

If the likes of Iain are absolutely determined to continue insisting that there isn’t enough money for him, his very comfortable friends and also for the most basic old age pension, then I urge him to do so very loudly and clearly, where the public can hear him saying it.

Again, all these dorks have the positions they do on the public’s sufferance: we outnumber them by tens of millions, and we’ve already put up with an incredible amount of dickhead behaviour from them. I am a man of peace but there isn’t much preventing a future government passing a Boi (Slicey) Act.

Once again taking away anything good and ruining futures, while making ‘difficult decisions’

The de-banking of the Canary is a warning. If they can silence us, they can silence anyone. This attack on Canary is not isolated. It is part of a wider pattern of suppressing anti-establishment voices through financial pressure, says @rachaelswindon.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026...

This man has taken money now from cryptobillionaires and convicted criminals and those are just the ones we know about. This is another circus when actually the Government should be taxing wealth fairly and cleaning up money and politics.

The Green Party are the only party talking about our assets - like energy and water - being nationalised rather than continuing to make huge profits for the already very wealthy. Our mission stays the same. Replace Labour. Take on Reform. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift. He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early. The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.

"He's had enough". They've barely done anything. Biggest snowflake in the land.

We’re now getting daily updates on our crackpot former Prime Minister’s views, I see. The guy the public don’t like, who resigned almost twenty years ago.

Farage resigns as an MP only to stand again. He's hoping to wipe out any investigation into his dodgy funding. Rather than going through the scrutiny he deserves, he's about to cost the tax payers hundreds of thousands in order to bury any investigation.

Banter outcome: Farage wins his self-inflicted by-election, standards commissioner rules against, recall petition, 2026 becomes the year of two Clacton by-elections

I hate to play the hits, but whoever at the BBC decided this needed to be broadcast should be jailed. Because this is just propaganda on behalf of Reform that'll go unanswered.

The Times journos and editors know that "cutting benefits" and "getting (forcing) people into work" means people suffering and they don't care.

After I wrote last week's column, I learnt that a neighbour with severe disabilities, an extremely tough & resourceful woman who lived to the full, died in the heatwave. Everyone here is devastated. I can scarcely express my anger towards a mindset that treats people like her as collateral damage. 🧵

On 30 June 2026, The Canary announced that Lloyds Banking Group had frozen its accounts, withholding a substantial sum of its money, with no explanation given. I've written at least 5 pieces for The Canary tracking the UK duopoly's nationwide rollout of free zones. substack.com/@europeanpow...

Between 1975 and 2010, over 60,000 English-language movies were released. There is more physical media out there than your eyeballs will be able to soak up in a lifetime.... and THEY don't control it. Go buy some dirt cheap DVDs.

Going from “Getting caught setting private investigators on the Sunday Times and trying to report them as Russian stooges”, to “inexplicably pardoned then given a Times column to knife his pals and promote a new PM” and then “oh wow, uh, Head of government policy unit” is quite the career path.
