I’m glad pressure from the Greens has forced Labour’s budget a little to the left. All the more reason to vote Green!

@zackpolanski.bsky.social has changed the narrative in a handful of months. And the media and the established political class are unable to look away. Every headline, every jibe, only points to the fact that they cannot look away. Phenomenal.

They are terrified of how Zack Polanski is resonating with voters, especially young voters who have been so disillusioned by Labour. The infantile insults and so-called ‘jokes’ show just how desperate they are about Zack and the Greens. They know Labour is a lost cause.

It's good too, I'm glad he has brought a wealth tax into the mainstream. It's long overdue that tackling inequality instead of demonizing the weakest was talked about.

Think this is going to push a lot, if not most, of voters to the Greens. The right wing appeasement rather than practical improvements show Labour are not a party of serious government. Party before country.
Feel confident in backing the Greens, more moral and genuine with practical solutions.
