Green Party level with the Labour Party for the first time.

Let’s see if the media give the Greens as much coverage as they gave Farage when he didn’t even have MPs.

TAKE BACK OUR ROYAL MAIL

Prem Sikka @premnsikka.bsky.social · 1d

Wonders of privatisation.

Royal Mail fined £21m.

Hasn't t meet the 1st and 2nd class mail delivery targets to years.

No personal fines on execs. Corporate fines will no doubt be passed on to customers.

No incentive to deliver value for money. People fleeced.

Royal Mail fined £21m by Ofcom for missing delivery targets

It is the third-largest fine the communications watchdog has ever issued.

It is fantastic watching @zackpolanski.bsky.social getting Green Party policy into the news with taxing and regulating landlords and building council houses, decrimialising and regulating drugs and supporting addicts properly and saying that Wales and Scotland have the right to self determination.

How Paul “hateful likes” Marshall built his “influence network”.

In-depth article reveals how the GB news owner has expanded his right-wing media empire with a view to propagandizing his vision for the future of Britain (but slightly lost me when it described Jordan Peterson as an ”intellectual”).

The multimillionaire controls a network of news channels, publications and think tanks that the left could only dream of. If Reform or the Tories win the next election, he will become the country’s mo...

I think we can call this the @zackpolanski.bsky.social effect.

Labour would not be saying this without a credible threat from the left. I doubt their policy will amount to more than a hill of beans but you can see how the Green surge is already having an effect.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Burnt Oak's Saturday Market used to be amazing. It closed about 10 years ago but the signs are still up and the site is under-used.

🚨Four more traders have been evicted in Elephant and Castle.

There’s Save Ridley Road, Friends of Queens Market, Save Brick Lane, Friends of Shepherd’s Bush… these campaigns exist because people are concerned about the future of our markets and community spaces.
