Zack Polanski: Can the Green Party leader ‘rebalance the scales’ of UK politics? | The News Agents

In little more than a month of leadership, Zack Polanski has grown the party’s membership and become a powerful figure on the left-wing of UK politics. Can he, and the Green Party, take this further…

Name a protest movement, anywhere or at any time, that has achieved its goals without being annoying and obstructive.
People like this enjoy the freedoms our political ancestors gained for them, while attacking the means by which they were achieved.

Jack @jackdawg52.bsky.social · 16h

Nope, you make protest obstructive and annoying you lose the good will of the general population.
When they ring their local member to complain - they dont tell the local member to deal with the issues raised by the protesters, they tell them to deal with the protesters.

They are certainly clueless about how austerity has removed services from those who don't get invited to The Spectator summer party Ed. I know that is petty and gratuitous but the way this show has normalised the need for 3,000 food banks while going on about VAT on school fees is pathetic. #r4today

The evil Green Party is going to tax the richest 0.3% of us.

Is really not going very well as an attack on the Green Party.

I'm sure they will come up with a new completely fake smear soon, like the antisemitism one from 2017-19.

How is this Tory crap from Shabana Mahmood supposed to help integration, given even most BRITISH people don't write and speak English to an A-Level standard? It's just going to alienate migrants from flag shagging gammonflakes who can barely spell their own name! #bbcpm

Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English

Migrants will be required to pass tough new English language requirements under a law introduced in Parliament today.
