As a lifelong hate-watcher of #BBCQT it's been incredible to see the tone shift in last night's prog with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on. It should have never been that hard to call for common sense - and actually popular - policies. Someone is actually doing it.

Immigrants are not to blame for austerity.

Political choices by Labour and Tory governments are to blame for austerity.

“You can’t blame austerity on one hand, but then say it’s the immigrants. The immigrants haven’t caused austerity.”

I’ve often thought what I’d say if I had the opportunity to tell senior Reform politicians what I think of the damage they are doing to our society.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social speaks for so many of us!

Blame the politicians for what’s broken. Let’s elect more Green ones!

Even I was surprised when Zia Yusuf (Reform) started throwing his toys out of his pram in response to Zack Polanski turning his personal attacks back him instead.

Zia might be a divisive, hateful, privately educated multi-millionaire - but he can’t handle the heat.

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

Labour minister falls apart live on TV over whether protests are antisemitic or not

You know they're not. We know they're not. Yet Labour is still tying itself up in knots over whether anti-genocide protests are antisemitic, writes @willem-moore.bsky.social

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

This ridiculous nonsense of supporting the zionist entity while it carries out a genocide is utterly fucking bonkers. Here's the thing - a genocide is the worst crime its possible to commit, much worse than serial killing or mass murder.
