🗳️ The Green win in Hackney's Mayoral election is extraordinary when you look at past results. For the past 22 years, Labour have won every single Hackney Mayor election by at least 25pts. In 2026, they lost to the Greens by 11.7pts. x.com/LeftieStats/...

I set low expectations for myself as far as Labour’s drop and Green’s gain with these elections. Especially in England. Because I’ve been disappointed way too many times before, and really, unless young people and all the disinterested pay fucking attention, you’re never going to get a big swing.

David Lammy brought up the Brighton council stitch-up and supposed Green NIMBYs because they have no actual criticisms of Green run councils. Cunt.

I think this Hantavirus thing is interesting. It reminds me of what happened at the start of the Covid Pandemic with the cruise ship in the UK I think it was. But yeah it’s just a very dramatic, easy story for the media. People don’t actually give a shit about public health. If they did, they…

Why is there wood burning pollution in the early evening in May when it’s 12 degrees outside? It’s not cold. Is it someone burning rubbish? (or garden waste that could be composted? That could just be left alone in the firstplace) The council seems to never do anything about that. Every day…

I’d like to see more data from other pollsters as far as UK party leader approval ratings, because I don’t trust More in Common. As far as Zack Polanski losing support, I would ask among who? Seems like those who would just believe what the mainstream media say about what he very reasonably…

I fucking hate Steve Reed. youtube.com/watch?v=_nQe...

Sad to see this resistance to change 10 years after I first owned an EV myself. And considering the huge technological progress of Formula E, with the Gen4 car coming at the end of this year. Nascar could do something really cool if people were more open minded. heavy.com/sports/nasca...

Trevor Phillips seemingly is more concerned about some pro-Israeli government, pro-genocide Jewish Brits being upset at the sight of a peace march; than he is about Zack Polanski having someone with a Reform banner doing a nazi salute in his direction at a campaign event.

Trevor Phillips’ line of questioning to Zac Polanski about pro-Palestine marches being somehow connected to this recent attack, is totally ridiculous and frankly laughable. This absurd thought experiment about how he must convince the two Jewish man who were stabbed that they were “imagining it”…

Badenoch criticised “whataboutery”, and then started talking about Sudan as if people who care about Palestine don’t care about Sudan or any other situation of human rights abuses. Also Zack did do a similar thing earlier in the show, but I think his Reform example was justified in that situation.

Did Kemi Badenoch just say with a straight face that the pro-Palestinian protests are hate marches and should be banned; while at the same time saying that the Tommy Robinson Unite The Kingdom rallies are not that bad? And the Tories aren’t even doing badly in the polls now. This is really grim.

I didn’t think Laura K’s interview of Zack Polanski today was that bad. I mean it wasn’t good; but I expected a lot worse. Maybe it’s just my expectations are so low of the British media now that it doesn’t bother me as much as it used to.

Heidi Alexander dodged the question about whether they would ban Tommy Robinson’s Unite The Kingdom march at the same time as a pro-Palestine march. I would be very surprised if they did anything against the far-right. This seems to be about smearing the left as violent extremists.

And to be clear, just like Zack, I’m not criticising the use of the Taser. I’m criticising the kicking in the head repeatedly of someone who was clearly already incapacitated. This fake debate is clearly just furthering the public’s lust for violence, like with Ian Huntley’s killing in jail…

Why the fuck did Zack capitulate when he was 100% right about it!? Don’t give this disingenuous media a fucking inch! This American style militarisation of our police force should be called out as excessive force Polanski apologises for sharing post criticising police www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In sum, IMF adjustment tends to increase poverty; it leads to more deaths among neonates, infants and mothers; it leads to more deaths due to infectious diseases; it tends to increase child labour, inequality and unemployment; and it reduces healthcare access and education spending.

There’s always the token “combined thinking” person on Question Time. We don’t need cross-party cooperation on everything, because most of the parties are shit, disingenuous liars who don’t want to solve problems. What we actually need is a party with good ideas, who wants to execute them in power.

Seems like she was actually just talking about the peace marches, which perhaps have a few people involved who crossed the line into legitimate antisemitism. Although I don’t trust the mainstream on that. They consider someone saying from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free as antisemitic.

When people like Daisy Cooper talk about “action on antisemitism”, what exactly are they talking about? What can you really do to prevent these violent attacks? Nothing. There’s nothing you can do to prevent them. What you can do is foster a society in which people respect each other.

The guy in the audience who was repeatedly asking Rachel Milward where exactly racial hatred in the country was coming from, seemed likely to be hinting at immigrants, as a kind of dog whistle. Not actually saying it, but hinting that way. But I think she gave a good answer. Societal anger.

Seems like this whole Question Time is going to be (I’m watching the recording this morning) one big smear against the Greens and Zack Polanski / Mothin Ali etc. This is really dangerous now. We thought they couldn’t do another Corbyn. I’m starting to wonder if the country is stupid enough to…

Ok so Fiona Bruce bringing up Zack Polanski saying he thought the arrest of the suspect in Golder’s Green was heavy handed, and him being criticised by Mark Rowley. I didn’t see Zack’s comment, but saw the video myself and thought it was heavy handed too. They kicked the guy hard multiple times.

Victoria Atkins right out of the gate on Question Time seemingly blaming the Green Party for antisemitic violence, and saying that peace marches are actually hate marches. Because we really need to go back to the Suella Braverman rhetoric in this country right now apparently.

Rhun ap Iorwerth was impressive on Politics Live. Good answers on antisemitism and the Israeli genocide on Gaza. Hope Plaid Cymru win control of the Senedd.

Barry Gardiner suggesting that while 99% of people on Pro-Palestine marches are normal people who care about Palestinians and want to march in solidarity with them, he says 1% are bad. But I mean are these antisemitic attacks we’ve seen recently even perpetrated by people who have ever marched?

The BBC going full on anti-Zionism is antisemitism on Politics Live it seems like. Holding a Palestinian flag at a rally or march is antisemitism it seems like they’re suggesting. Presumably the right are going to throw Zack and anyone else on the left under the bus for offering a nuanced stance.

📊 FACT-CHECK | Labour drones claim Green vote is "collapsing". This is FALSE. Green poll average is 17%, a record high for the party. Since Polanski became leader, Greens are +8.1pts. This means an estimated 2.3 million people have switched to the Greens since Polanski won. x.com/LeftieStats/...

With Hasan 100%. The conflation between him (an anti-genocide, anti-Zionist) and Owens (according to Hasan, a clear antisemite) is incredibly disingenuous and dangerous. and the US establishment Democrats know exactly what they’re doing. The potential for violence. Evil. youtube.com/watch?v=AAiF...

I’m not a streamer myself, but I’ve always been a fan of what I perceive to be the authentic nature of live streaming as a medium. Especially when it’s coming from an individual or small organisation, rather than from mainstream media or a corporate entity… christill.org/2026/04/29/h...

In the 7-ish months since Zack Polanski took over as Green Party leader, he’s definitely pushed the population to the left a bit. A noticeable amount. But this isn’t being reflected in the media. The media are doubling down and going even more to the right in terms of stories and their framing.

Ross Greer was excellent on Politics Live. Saying working class people pay less tax in Scotland. Vicky Young more concerned with people earning £100k paying more in Scotland than England. No surprise there.

There’s no such thing as a good or ethical landlord. They’re all middle-men making people with far less money than them, purchase a second or third home for them; giving them an asset at the end of it. While the renter ends up with nothing.

Politics Live do a segment on a possible rent freeze coming; and they get on a concerned landlord rather than a hopeful renter. Classic.

Rebecca Long-Bailey is so pathetic. Can’t believe I wasted my time voting for her in the leadership election after Corbyn. Should have just left Labour as soon as it became clear who the leadership candidates were. Or actually probably never should have switched from Green to Labour and back again.

Just the expressions and looks on the faces of Ed Balls and Suzanna Reid are so disturbing. Especially when they’re interviewing someone on the left it seems like. They just look so right wing and messed up. Why would anyone watch this trash show? The only nice person on it is Laura Tobin.

“What to do when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow?” Same question. Different day on Politics Live, where everything energy related is a broken fucking record. Actually, anything remotely left coded. They just waste time asking left wing guests the same questions every day.

This insufferable woman from Labour on Poltics Live talking about how Labour are so loyal to their leaders, and that it’s so hard to trigger a leadership election in the party. Wasn’t so hard when it was Jeremy Corbyn leading was it? Didn’t see much loyalty towards the leadership then either…

Ellie Chowns distancing herself from Zack who apparently asserted that Trump is worse than Putin. Newsflash. Trump is worse. Not that I’m a Putin fan obviously. But Trump is clearly worse. Which the western establishment cannot and will not accept as the truth.

How’s that for a defining image of British society in 2026? Such a broken, intolerant, miserable, fascist country. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I take it back. There was one smart audience member. The young woman with the green glasses. Well done to her for saying nothing really controversial or bold. But it sounded bold relative to how braindead everyone else was.

The Lib Dem argument on Question Time was the nonsense about drilling oil at home being better environmentally than drilling elsewhere and importing. Ok but how about phasing out drilling and building renewable energy right now? Fucking clown. And then he said the Scottish government pays…

Damn, that SNP woman said it was misogyny for the Scottish Tory leader I think it was, when he said John Swinney should be there. He very clearly said it because John Swinney is the leader of the SNP. Not because he’s a man and therefore she was a poor replacement. She’s rattled by being called out.

The Scottish Greens co-leader probably had the toughest and dumbest Question Time audience ever to contend with in Aberdeen. It’s been so long of trying to convince oil and gas workers that we can transition pretty easily. But to no avail. We’re the dumbest and most propagandised we’ve ever been…

Normally I can’t stand Fiona Bruce on Quetion Time. But I have to admit I enjoyed her absolutely annihilating that pathetic SNP woman by bringing up her contradictory statements on energy security with regards to Rosebank North Sea drilling. Previously correct that it wouldn’t lead to more security.

Doing genocide and running torture-rape camps is apparently fine but upsetting US Christian Zionists is a “moral wake-up call”. Absolute degeneracy.

Ed Miliband is going to decouple the renewable energy prices from the gas price, but only for older installations. New ones will still receive gas price costs for wind power generation, so their profits are maintained. I didn’t even realise the policy was meant to make renewables more profitable…

Why did Vicky Young ask Anthony Slaughter if the Welsh Greens would work with Reform in coalition or some kind of electoral pact? What a stupid question. Why would you ask socialists / soc dems if they’d work with fascists? Environmentalists with climate deniers? It’s absurd.
