The basically-unknown union action that is illegal all over the world and yet incredibly popular when workers decide to do it anyway (illegally.)
Here's what it is and why I think @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk should add it to their manifesto...

Starmer doesn't realise that the Tories could actually recover one day. Reform’s base is inherently unstable and right wing voters are shockingly forgiving.
The left won’t forget. The Green Party under @zackpolanski.bsky.social is far more coherent and fully democratic. When Labour dies it’s dead.

I can’t believe we’re living through the deaths of *both* the major UK parties.
If Starmer had stood on a progressive platform we would have had 3 Labour terms minimum, as Tories and Reform split the right for the first time.
Instead he joined them on the crowded right.

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.
The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.
We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.
Reject the hate. Reject them.
This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

Pointlessly disgusting. The left will never trust Labour again.
It won’t win over people obsessed with migration, it only fuels Farage.
Greens are soaring because people know @zackpolanski.bsky.social defends policies he *actually* believes in.

Yesterday, we put out a report on the most important issues to voters.
We know that immigration now tops the traditional most important issues question (see below from @yougov.co.uk).
But that doesn't tell the full story.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social was right when he said Starmer has no right to that line when he could run the next election under PR.

Many journalists will not agree with his politics but I bet we’ll be seeing him more and more. They're desperate to have real conversations for once

By 2029 they will unravel and be fully exposed as the janky, Tory 2.0 party that they are.

Absolute genius strategy. No way that could backfire…
Unless, say, the greens started polling ahead of Labour and became the new tactical vote against Reform.
But nah. Who could imagine that?!
