Given Farage’s press conference meltdown today, I think now is a good time to RT this. Remember it’s not JUST what he said and did as a child, it’s what he has said and broadcasted as an adult that paints the picture of the man he is …
We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

One of the joys of being involved with the @greenparty.org.uk is meeting new members at their first meeting. They’re embracing the hope offered by the Greens. Last night was no exception, with everyone citing @zackpolanski.bsky.social as the reason for joining! @stroudgreens.bsky.social

Like WTAF??
This government has no courage to actually change things in a meaninful way.

As with the budget, the best it can do is tinker around the edges while the system gets worse.

Further proof that UK rail is managed by absolute morons.
It's fast, popular service, so they're going to run it without passengers. It's just insane.

Said this a lot before, but there is no politician conveying any sense of what they think the country should look in 2040 or 2050, so no sense they are taking steps to get there.
Good test of how UK politics at least is failing, there isn't a single frontline politician with a convincing big picture view of the country. Nostalgia, simplism, and warm words will have to do instead.

The reason Zack can speak freely is that @greenparty.org.uk hasn't been co-opted by powerful interests and is driven by members and donations.

It seems to me that this government hasn't got the hang of tax or what it's for. Someone needs to teach them about nudging and incentives, sticks, carrots and also about values (what makes a happy cohesive society with opportunities to achieve and be proud of it).

At the @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social event last night, the hope and fun of politics were encapsulated for me by the passing of the green baton between @carladenyer.bsky.social and @zackpolanski.bsky.social aides and abetted by the amazing climate activist @domipalmer.bsky.social

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies."

Who runs Labour’s housing policy? The biggest profit-driven big developers, that’s who.

Not councils, not Mayors with carefully Green-influenced policies, not housing co-ops or charities, not even housing associations. And definitely not homeless families.

Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵
