I love @zackpolanski.bsky.social What he has achieved, particularly with the media I think most of us thought was impossible.

But he doesn't set the direction of the Green Party. He is a reflection of it.

We are packed full of bold and principled socialists from all walks of life.

I totally forgot about this trip to #Looughborough just after memorial Sunday. Some more #StreetPhotography for you.
Closed shopfront with boarded windows painted with large blue letters spelling ‘PASTA CLUB’. Faded graffiti above the sign reads ‘Spoons was ere RIP £2 pints’. A person walks past on the pavement carrying a patterned shopping bag. Brick building with shuttered windows above. Metal sculpture of a dog standing in a small fenced garden bed, surrounded by red and blue poppy-shaped memorial flowers. The dog has a metal backpack on its back. Two people sit on a bench in the background in a green park with fallen leaves scattered on the grass. Street scene showing a Japanese restaurant with a warmly lit interior and diners visible through the window. A cyclist rides past in the foreground, slightly blurred. The shop sign reads ‘Gohan Bento & Sushi’. Neighbouring storefronts and brick buildings frame the scene. Side wall of a house painted white with large black text reading ‘EVERY HOUSE HAS A STORY’. Three people walk past on the pavement, one carrying a red shopping bag. A parked silver car sits beside the wall, with neighbouring brick buildings and small shops visible.

Ah, so we're rehashing the anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism bullshit on Christmas Day, are we? Classy by Labour, as always.

Merry Christmas and all that.

Here is some Christmas-themed #StreetPhotography from #MarketHarborough from the end of November.
A street-corner sweet shop decorated for Christmas, with two large inflatable nutcracker figures framing the entrance under a red arch reading “Step Into Christmas,” while pedestrians walk past on the pavement. A person walks past a shop window displaying large “Ho Ho Ho” lettering, with Christmas-themed window decorations and brightly coloured drinks and sweets advertised inside. The front of The White Company store, with white shopfront windows displaying homeware and gift items, sale signage in the windows, and a man standing outside holding a shopping bag while other shoppers move in and out of the shop. A family walks through a glowing Christmas light arch in a town square at dusk, with festive fairy lights, decorated trees, and shops illuminated in the background.

Nothing to see here. Just a perfectly normal headline from a reasonably-minded publication.

Right wing press having a real normal one about this Christmas Day message.

Does anyone think we should be spending £476m on cruelty towards vulnerable people?

Watch it live at 3pm:

Zack Polanski will use his provocative Christmas day message to say £476m currently being spent on cruelty instead on compassion kindness and humanity.

When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.

Yeah I know it's Christmas Eve but I've been thinking a lot about the lack of nuance in conversations about AI, so you're getting an article exploring that as an early Christmas present.

I tell a lie, it's your only Christmas present: open.substack.com/pub/aguyname...

When your beliefs are tied to how you stay stable in the world, challenging them head-on just makes you defend them harder.

What actually changed my mind was feeling safe enough to let go. We on the left need to learn that.

Portrait photograph of a bald white man standing against a neutral grey background, wearing a white T-shirt with a distressed Union Jack print and blue jeans. He is pulling a slightly exaggerated, sceptical facial expression and standing with his hands clasped in front of him. Above the image is the title “Sowing the seeds of change,” and below it reads “A Guy Named Guy” with the URL aguyanamedguyuk.substack.com. White text over a blurred portrait of the same man. The quote reads: “Reviewing my early life made me realise that although my neurodivergence played a part, my views were reinforced by the attitudes of people who were trying to show me the truth, but doing a particularly bad job of it. There are lessons to be learned here well beyond neurodivergence, as I’m about to explain.” Attribution reads “A Guy Named Guy – Sowing the seeds of change.” White text over a blurred portrait of a bald man wearing a Union Jack T-shirt. The quote reads: “Because once an opinion feels like part of your personality, changing it doesn’t feel like growth – it feels like loss, betrayal, or weakness. For neurodivergent people especially, whose identities are often hard-won after years of misunderstanding, the idea of letting go of something familiar can feel destabilising.” Attribution at the bottom reads “A Guy Named Guy – Sowing the seeds of change.” White text over a blurred version of the same portrait image. The quote reads: “Once you’ve offered a reason, you’re expected to stand behind it. If it’s challenged, you feel the need to back it up. So you research. You do a quick Google, searching for the surface-level content that helps you explain yourself.” Attribution reads “A Guy Named Guy – Sowing the seeds of change.”

Have you ever wondered why facts don't seem to change minds? Why no amount of reasoning ever seems to work?

In today's Substack post, I write about the politics of change - with a slight detour into the world of ADHD for good measure.

Zack Polanski, "It's not about me vs Nigel Farage"

"It's about his form of hate and division"

*Andrea Jenkyns starts moaning*

"Vs the politics of doing something about a broken system"

*Andrea Jenkyns moans even more professing: oh my god*

"About tackling inequality and offering hope to people"

I wrote something a bit more personal than usual.

On being an average white man, self-awareness, political spaces, and the uncomfortable tension between using privilege and taking up space.

I'm very much a work in progress.

“Stop blaming your ADHD for your lack of success” isn’t tough love.

It’s internalised ableism — and it often comes from people who’ve forgotten the privilege that made their survival possible.

Dynamic pricing is the latest in a string of hypercapitalistic techniques used to extract wealth from the consumer and move it to those at the top.

Pro: I have a lot of knowledge on an array of subjects thanks to my ADHD hyperfocuses over the years.

Con: My brain lets me down when I have to remember sources, so I can come across as speculative or ideological.

£3,000 is now the starting price for a World Cup final ticket — thanks to dynamic pricing.

This isn’t just about football. It’s about how extractive pricing models become “normal” once they hit the mainstream.
