@ZackPolanski What about criticising the government? All you talk about is taxing billionaires what about the other issues?

We need to lower people's bills. It's time to tackle the cost of living. Multimillionaires and billionaires are screwing us all over. That's why there's anger. It's all the result of Politicial choices. Let's make different choices. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Zack Polanski's speech at the Together Alliance march "Looking at this crowd I see unity, I see solidarity, I see love. I see we are together" "Look around. Look at the people around you. We are intergenerational. We are white, we are black, we are Asian, we are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, non-faiths. We are community" "And together, we will win" "The tide is turning is turning. There have been dark times. I know people have been scared and have been afraid" "But days like this are here to send a message" "A message to Tommy Robinson. To Nigel Farage. To those appease who appease them" "When we turn up in our hundreds and our thousands, in our hundreds of thousands, we are unstoppable" "We see what's happening in the United States. Children snatched in the streets. People shot in cold blood. We see the war mongering. And the far right see that as their blueprint" "But people in this country have seen Reform UK for who they really are" "They would have dragged us into this illegal and unpopular war with Iran" "And we say today, this is not in our name, this is not our war" "And looking out today I see so many flags and so many slogans" "I know we are here for our migrant communities, for our trans communities, for the Palestinians, our struggles are interconnected, and we stand in solidarity" "There's three things we have to do" "First. We must not give an inch to the Daily Mail, to the rightwing hacks, to the people that spread hate and division. We will defeat you" "Second. We say to Reform UK, we know exactly who you are. You are climate denying, Trump-loving, NHS dismantling, corporate stooges" "Finally. We have to tackle the cost of living. It is time to lower people's bills. It is time to tax billionaires. Nationalise the water companies. Rent controls. Make sure we have the energy cap, so people aren't chosing between heating and eating" "More than anything, today is a march and it does not stop here. This is just the beginning" "Local elections are coming in just a few weeks time. We will defeat hate" "It's time to make hope normal again" *Audience erupts in cheer*

I got the memo now. Morgan McSweeney was mugged, reported that to the police, followed all the processes. Any questions around this is just conspiracy theory territory, really. Let’s move along now. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@suespeaksup Just switched my regular donation to a local charity. After the loss of a cousin and god-mother who both were cared for by Macmillan in their honour I chose to donate monthly. This was started in 2009. Cancer doesn't discriminate and neither should the charity.

This will be a breaking point for many. People give to charity expecting support to be there for everyone facing something as devastating as cancer not to see help prioritised based on identity groups. I suspect a lot of long-time supporters will now be seriously reconsidering their direct debits. Charities should unite people around care and compassion, not divide them.😩

This is utterly dangerous bollox beyond even the normal bollox you hear. MMT is delusional, in the hands of the Greens it’s your worst nightmare. Fiscal multipliers are ‘low’ for a reason. That’s because the Govt can’t spend its way to economic growth for the whole economy. The more the Govt spends the worse it is in the medium term overall for actual productive growth. Because politics is involved ppl are able to get away with saying ‘it’s an opinion.’ That’s no excuse it’s like saying you can hypnotise women so their breasts increase in size! 🤣 @jbhearn @TIMGOLDFINCH

My interview this morning on my fear we are on an escalator drawing our country into a dangerous & disastrous war. We are a sovereign country not a Trump colony & must ally with others to de-escalate to secure a negotiated settlement to secure peace & stabilise the global economy

Due to higher taxes & people selling assets because of Labour they had this surprise windfall in January. Labour were singing from the rooftops not understanding the underlying crisis. The old saying 'never trust Labour with the economy' strikes again. They never learn !!!
The Spectator@spectator

After a record tax take and surplus in January, normal service has resumed. Britain experienced its second-largest February borrowing splurge since records began, according to figures just released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). ✍️ Michael Simmons Article | spectator.com/article/britai…

People say “the 2 party system doesn’t work” as if both parties have been equally useless. One party smashes the country to bits. Labour comes in and has to rebuild it. It was true after Thatcher. And it’s true again after 14 years of Tory decline.

Why is there no general strike in the UK against this war? (Or in the US?) Where are the trade unions? Why aren't there permanent encampments and protests outside the US embassy and US bases? Is the mountain of corpses not high enough yet?

@HJB_News__ Why would a Muslim child be offended by seeing a picture of Jesus? We are talking about a school setting where children are meant to be educated. Muslim children should be made aware of Christianity and other religions to broaden their minds and education.
