This is an excellent thread on why young people are leaving the UK.

Feel free to share it with anyone who doesn’t understand the cost of Brexit, overt racism, broken work ethic and crumbling social fabric.

Spoiler: they’re not leaving because of higher taxes.
Unlike the debunked “millionaire exodus”, Britain’s young workers really are leaving in droves— 174,000+ since March 2024.

The motor of our economy walking away is a crisis that really should worry us.

🧵So, why are they leaving and how can we stop it? 1/9

“The 100,000 new joiners don’t feel like gate-crashers. It feels more like they booked a massive hall for their birthday and invited the whole community. At first, just a trickle of close friends showed up. Then, enough to make it not embarrassing.“

Populism: A political philosophy supporting the rights and power of the people in their struggle against the privileged elite.
"Farage wants to destroy our institutions, he's delighted that the BBC are under fire right now"

Zack Polanski describes that by his definition Nigel Farage isn't a populist.

While this is yet another great interview from Zack Polanski, what really strikes me is the comments - overwhelmingly positive, supportive of Zack and recognising his honesty, integrity and values.

Yet more reinforcement that the Greens are the way to go.

For these types of people - if they’ve lived with privilege, then equality will feel like persecution.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Extreme wealth and unconstrained greed have no place in a healthy society.
Billionaire wealth keeps piling up. Everyone else is left with less and less.

With this mountain of pasta, I show why we need to tax the Billionaires.

I’m not au fair with all socialist dogma but “total groups” seems like a very popular area for Your Party.

Incredible!

That’s 5x as much as it took for Nathan Gill to sell out his country.

Amazing work!!!

People make Glasgow 💚
Proud to join the St Andrew's day march against Racism & Facism, along with Trade Unions, & communities like Springburn yesterday✊️

None of this rhetoric against migrants funds another community centre, another park, another workforce - taxing the wealthy does 💚

If you want to change the game, you have to change the system.
"If you just allow people to become incredibly rich, then think that's not going to have an impact on democracy, you're deluding yourself."

The rich have ruled over us for far too long.

It's time we took control for ourselves.

It’s my birthday!
Bunty has given me breakfast in bed allowing me to smear jam on her croissants.
Later on Jill in the village shop is giving me a taste of her Lemon drizzle.
Then Bunty & I will settle down & watch our DVD of Liz Truss’s greatest moments! 🥳
