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.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

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

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

“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."

Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration.

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. 🧵

I just learnt that over £100,000 of NHS funds have been wasted on defending bullying instead of paying frontline staff fairly.

Treatment of striking NHS staff This helps to explain the treatment of NHS workers on strike in Gloucestershire in recent months.  A small but mighty group of workers have been on strike since...

It doesn’t take much research to see the underlying cause of the Kimmel/Colbert moves made recently by corporate media
They all have mergers that need to be approved by the FCC and Trump.
They also want the FCC to remove restrictions on how many stations an entity or person can own.
