Newly elected Green Party leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked, would he ever work with Keir Starmer?
Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Seems that the patriotic roofer from Carshalton who has gone around the country putting up flags.... has something of a blot on his copybook

Isn't this why Trump is suddenly 'sick'? I think we're being played - yet again.

The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...
"I will not tolerate people risking their lives to get to safety but I will tolerate racists threatening them" - Keir Starmer.
Keir Starmer just appointed Tim Allan, a board member of the anti trans hate group, Sex Matters, to be his new communications director.
It is astonishing how badly suited Keir Starmer is to the current moment. Just astonishing
What’s the link between Rachel Reeves, a political lobbying firm, and United Health? 🚨🚨🚨
Overt racism on our streets, flags as threats, Reform strutting around like they’re in power already, toxic radicalisation by Musk on X, politicians howling to leave the ECHR and to hell with the consequences… How can the govt just meekly nod along? FFS and for all our sakes, stand up to this shit.
Are you young, highly educated and driven, and want to contribute to our stagnant economy with its aging population and low productivity? Well out you go
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
Parliament reopened today, but Nigel Farage was in Washington DC on his 10th trip to the US since becoming an MP. You don't get to earn £1m from 12 jobs by wasting time on what is meant to be your full time role.
This is a lie on an absolutely colossal scale - the figures show that tariff revenue has increased by $20 billion/month - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... would take over 30 years to reach $8 trillion at this rate
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
All kidding aside, suffering from both leprosy & syphilis at 79 is no joke, but I am sure whatever cure RFKjr is mixing up will get him back on the golf course in no time.

There is "a fundamental problem at the heart of our welfare state; namely the apparent assumption that poor people are not creative and have no potential for anything other than unskilled labour, because creative ability is supposedly reserved for those who enjoy wealth and privilege" Well said!

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.
Let that sink in.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has filed a new bid to stay in the U.S. The Salvadoran man who was illegally deported in March has reasserted his claim for asylum.
Reform will have to reselect in Croydon, as their initial candidate for Mayor had been dead for 6 months when they selected her, Inside Croydon report Being dead is one way to pass the social media vetting but was likely to get noticed eventually insidecroydon.com/2025/08/27/f...
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just demanded a special Senate committee hearing on the crisis at the CDC, making RFK Jr testify under oath on the disaster he's created. Go Bernie!
I absolutely love the FEARLESS Dr. Peter Hotez!!!!!
He also said, “I can do anything I want, I’m the president of the United States.” The man wants to be king, but we became our own country to never again be ruled by one.
This is just next level insanity. In January this year, Reform picked Sharon Carby, aged 70, from Bradford, to run as their Croydon Mayoral candidate. There was just one rather significant problem. She had sadly died in July 2024. insidecroydon.com/2025/08/27/f...
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.
Just accidentally bombed a hospital twice with my remote-controlled drones and sadly I killed a bunch of innocent people, but don't worry, I said "sorry" so everyone forgives me ♥️
It’s not too early to think about what comes next.
Westminster is SO corrupt. 👇👇👇👇👇👇

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Farage’s “probity and judgment were sold as the product called Brexit. It turned out to be a piece of shit.” And, unbelievably, this Labour govt finds itself trapped because it has refused to call this out. What a profound - and now dangerous - political failure. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Denmark summons US envoy after report of Americans carrying out influence operations in Greenland
Sir Anthony Seldon, "It is extraordinarily raw and frightening for a country that has championed respect for human rights, to be even contemplating this" "It is a failure of government and Prime Minister Keir Starmer not to get ahead, none of this couldn't have been foreseen"
A day of shame for the UK. A political party proposes mass deportations and the response from other political parties is not to condemn this as going further than even Mosley or the National Front.
No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today. Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.
Correct Bernie! RepubliKKKans Haven't believed in Science FOREVER......
The ever-eloquent @rafaelbehr.bsky.social pointedly refusing to mince his words on what Farage has done for us. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Is a party with just four MPs getting too much coverage on the BBC? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.
BREAKING: Fed Governor Lisa Cook just now after Trump tried to fire her: “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign and will continue my work to support the U.S. economy”
"There is a moral implosion at the top of the Tory Party as people who failed spectacularly on immigration now hawk dangerous extremism to claw back relevance. And it risks civil unrest on a scale we haven't seen since the early 1980s” www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
I’m sorry, but Nick Clegg looking for a comeback?? Not a chance. All this shit began with him and Cameron.

GOP - “There’s nothing in the rules that says a dog can’t play basketball!” California:
Migrants can't answer back. They have no voice. So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue. In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess. That is what is really going on here.
In the 1970s, UK discovered oil/gas in North Sea. Thatcher onwards, money squandered on tax cuts for corporations/rich. Now ... crisis. Norway heavily taxed oil/gas. Now, $1.9trn sovereign fund. Its income funds national budget. Appeasing rich/corporations costs the future.
“Private healthcare in the U.K. is increasingly framed as a necessity rather than a luxury. The strategy is clear enough: starve the NHS of resources, drive down quality and availability, and patients will get used to looking elsewhere.” Today’s col. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Tech stocks having a painful day: Alphabet down 2.5% Meta down 2% Tesla down 3.7% Intel down 8% But so far today’s biggest loser is Palantir, down 9%. Bit of a tech vibe shift going on?

Only a tiny minority of people are aware that Oxford University's revenue exceeds that of Greggs and Manchester United combined. A survey by the Higher Education Policy Institute, a think tank based in Oxford, found widespread underestimation of the economic and employment impact of UK universities.

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.
He's a sick, perverted, old bag of orange flatulence.
