The truth from @zackpolanski.bsky.social leader of the @greenparty.org.uk 💚🌍
People have had enough of Labour.
They can change leader but the problem is the hundreds of corporate lobbyists who are Labour MPs.
More and more people joining the Green Party every day!

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Its almost as if Labour dont actually care about women (cis, trans, femme, non-binary...). Absolutely outrageous, but (tragically) not all that surprising

Idiotic spending without any care about priorities or any clue as to whether they can afford it. Flags before social care or education or anything people actually need.

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

UK living standards have collapsed while govt after govt have sat on their hands.
Now the vacuum they left is being filled by fascist agitators like Tommy Robinson and super-rich big-business-backed politicians like Farage.
There is an alternative–and we can all play our part in fighting for it.
