The Green Party want to radically redistribute wealth in this country. For too long the rich have hoarded our money and run our public services into the ground. For too long mainstream politicians have helped them do it. Not any more. It’s time for real change. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Calling Reform racist isn’t slander. It’s maths. 20 incidents. 18 months. 1 Farage in a permanent huff.

Green party leader urges the Bank of England to stop paying interest on commercial banks' reserves. ECB stopped paying interest on a portion of banks reserves. The left has long urged Govt to stop this £20bn subsidy to banks, a consequence of QE. What could govt do with £20bn? archive.ph/LyP2e

Greens within 5 points of overtaking Labour. @zackpolanski.bsky.social wasn’t joking when he said we’re not here to feel disappointed in them, we’re here to replace them.

I sort of feel like we don’t talk enough about the two pre-election National Insurance cuts that were brought in by Hunt and Sunak last year, and how they feel like they were absolutely meant to hobble what they knew at the time would be an incoming Labour government.

Green Party conference starts tomorrow!!! This is where we get policy passed. One member, one vote. No ifs, no buts. We’ll see you there!

About time consequences were faced for the PPE scandal… But why only Michelle Mone? £15b worth of contracts were flagged with a corruption risk So where’s the rest of them? And what about the Tory ministers who greenlit that institutionally corrupt VIP lane?

No. A wealth tax won't solve everything. No one ever said it will. But until we begin to challenge the power & wealth of the 1% - then we know this Labour government has been bought and paid for.

Britons ripped off by the energy industry. No govt curbs profiteering. Nationalise energy, reduce inflation, poverty, business costs, rebuild economy.

“Our women, our daughters are scared to walk the streets,” claimed Tommy Robinson at the 'Unite the Kingdom' rally. Suddenly, the radical right seems concerned about women’s safety - but this isn’t genuine care. They’re recycling an old, racist trope. Watch and share.

Ugh This man This paper. Using the same rhetoric as Trump’s lot, jumping on the Kirk bandwagon to claim victimhood and cancel free speech if it criticises him. Farage incites riots on our streets, then acts all ‘poor me’ when his ugly racist ideas are called out. No one should pander to this shit.

Since privatisation England's water companies paid £88.4bn in dividends. 90% of water companies owned by foreign investors/govts. 90% of dividend not recirculated in the UK economy. No UK tax paid on dividends. Public ownership would make a difference.

You’re right, Ms Mahmood - I don’t. Because the slippery slope we’ve been going down has been spine chilling. It started with “illegal migrants.” That was the “reasonable concern” Just the law, nothing more. Politicians said, “people aren’t anti-immigration, they just want the rules respected.”

Almost as if Starmer + Faridge are working to destroy the #NHS together Watson on #R4Today reporting that Starmer thinks Faridge is 'vulnerable on health', so Starmer will set out further steps to 'modernise the NHS'? Not support it/champion it? Not remove private profit?😡 #LabourIsDead #StarmerOut

UK Govt plan to revitalise high streets. To make it happen Govt needs to: Reduce shop rents Cut energy bills Increase spending power of the bottom 50% Improve real incomes Tackle the challenge of online shopping Improve public transport, car parking Tories failed to level-up. Will Labour succeed?

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Today I can’t decide which story to be more moved by, man buys his disabled Mum a field so she can rescue Donkeys or penniless waitress with a recently bankrupt business finds £800,000 down the back of a sofa to buy her boyfriend a house.

Its often talked about that taking water into public hands would be an experiment. Its completely the other way round Privatisation was the experiment – it has failed. Companies took our water infrastructure with zero debt & left it billions of pounds in debt @zackpolanski.bsky.social i.bsky.social

@bylinetimes.bsky.social doing the job other journalists refuse to.……again! bylinetimes.com/2024/06/19/t...

So if the opinion polls showed the Green Party in the lead, the bbc et al would have to provide wall to wall coverage of @zackpolanski.bsky.social right? RIGHT?

How much more of this bllocks are we supposed to take? Trump’s clearly demented. Reform’s a bin fire of bad ideas and Russian fingerprints. And still, it feels like the left are turning up to a gunfight with a dildo. My thoughts here: open.substack.com/pub/marinapu...

UK inflation is caused by profiteering Since the pandemic electricity generation companies hiked profit margins by 198%. Electricity/Gas supply margins up 363%. Shipping up by 650 times. Health and social work up by 118%. People impoverished. Can't rebuild economy without ending profiteering.

I want the world to read these numbers about the night attack Ukrainian Air Force downed or jammed 611 russian drones and missiles out of 643: • 566 drones out of 593 • 2 jet-propelled drones • 35 Kh-101 missiles out of 38 • 8 Kalibr missiles • 0 Kinzhal missiles out of 2 The main target was Kyiv

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

I don’t have any children, but I am happy to pay more tax to remove the two child benefit cap, because ultimately, we all benefit from a society that looks after all its children, not just the ones born to wealth.

‘The truth about autism and paracetamol is complex’ is a funny way to spell ‘Trump was talking out of his arse’ from the Times….

Nigel Farage & Alex Phillips have been awfully quiet about Nathan Gill pleading guilty to eight counts of bribery relating to pro-Russia statements made in European parliament and articles. Just wanted to refresh their memories about how they were all a team through that period.

Fab idea, I’m on board - but it’s worth adding that fully rejoining the EU would do that, friction free access to the world’s largest single market and give that same right to people who are over 30. Something to think about, no?

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...

Our numbers are going up and up. We're winning elections right across England & Wales. We don't have time to mess around. Join.greenparty.org.uk

UK median wage for an employee is £30,816. A single person needs to earn £30,500 a year to reach a minimum acceptable standard of living. A couple with 2 children needs £74,000 a year between them. Can't rebuild economy based on low wages and poverty.

“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...

Resolution Foundation tells UK govt to cut national insurance, increase income tax. This will hike taxes on pensioners. 2m live in poverty. 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Why not tax dividends and capital gains at the same rates as wages, investment income surcharge, wealth taxes?

Soooooooo TRUE!!!

The ‘Cost of Greed Crisis’ nicely put Zack, leaving blame at the right doorstep. The so-called cost of living crisis is really the price, we (the common people), pay on behalf of the exponentially wealthy. We cannot afford their greed anymore youtube.com/shorts/Ks2hO... @zackpolanski.bsky.social

I've known @SadiqKhan for over 30 yrs. He's a feminist, a socialist & an LGBTQ+ ally. I'm so proud he's our London mayor. For the record, he's as interested in introducing Sharia Law to London as I am - and that's 0%. Those who suggest otherwise are deluded, or have a v sinister agenda.

Farage’s plan to scrap indefinite leave could collapse the NHS… Which would be incredibly good news for someone wanting us to move to an ‘insurance based system’ FYI the average American pays £480 per month for private healthcare Please wake up folks.

If permanence can be torn up by Reform for settled migrants, how long before it can be torn up for citizens? Read the Bear’s commentary ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

In some ways, an oddly upbeat vibe, for a musical rundown of the backsliding #freespeech situation developing in the US ... but this is our 🎵 parody "Freedom of Speech" to the tune of #Disney's "Under the Sea" - with some familiar faces cut in. 😎 youtu.be/DyoYRN8cc-g #Kimmel #Colbert

I generally rate Chris Mason but it would make things easier for all if Robbie Gibb - Brexiter & Theresa May’s director of comms at Number 10 - were not still a non-executive director of the BBC. Everything he touches turns to shit. Including, at the moment, a lot of the Beeb’s political journalism.

Imagine a world in which we could stand shoulder to shoulder on a march for the country we love…

A foretaste of what faces @zackpolanski.bsky.social & @greenparty.org.uk as their popularity grows. Oligarchs throwing their cash behind anyone who will do their bidding. But Mamdani shows that with a clear egalitarian vision even the billionaires can be beaten. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...
