The best way to defeat Reform is for millions of people to hear a version of this message:

"Farage's Brexit made you poorer. Don't let him do it again"

Starmer regarding Reform’s former leader in Wales, Nathan Gill: “The member for Clacton & his deputy worked alongside someone who took money to spread Putin’s propaganda. They have serious questions to answer about what they knew”

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Politicians are pretty narcissistic and this administration is definitely narcissistic. It will be interesting to see its reaction when it has only one journalist left in the room.

In the month since I was elected leader of the Green Party, we have gained a new member equivalent of every single minute. 24/7.

We're all smiling. But we've also got a big job to do.

This is how Farage and Tice reacted at PMQs when someone raised the issue of one of their politicians accepting bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Apparently it’s funny to be a traitor.

I’ve been listening to The Newsagents since their launch and their main approach to @greenparty.org.uk has been not to talk about us.

Until recently.

Something is happening.

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 1d

You notice here how they use the term "wealth" rather than "super-wealth"? Zack has gone out of his way to point out that he's only talking about the "super-rich", not the merely well-off. It's very popular! But they're ignoring that, and insinuating he'll raise taxes on normal folk with good jobs.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 1d

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.
