@BBCSurrey Jesus..he's doubling down on saying the UK is the sixth wealthiest nation in the world.....when we're not.
He confuses wealth with the size of the economy.
He's an intellectual dunce.

Zack Polanski, the leader of the Green Party, has told BBC South East he wants to see rent controls imposed on all rented homes and a change to how migrants are housed while their asylum claims are processed.

@ZackPolanski It's relentless.
More and more wishlists..promises of a land of milk and honey..everyone happily dancing in the sunshine..
..and not one jot of how all this will be paid for,other than the Magic Money Tree covering all the costs.
It's all fantasy for votes from the gullible

We need rent controls.
Help us end Rip Off Britain.
Vote Green on May 7th.

@jomickane Not only is Polanski unable to articulate any credible detail to the raft of insane policies he's proposing..he's unable to counter when anyone he speaks to strays from his preferred script.
This is evidence of an unintelligent individual who can only think in pejorative tropes.

Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party talks about the Far-Right. He suggests that some are so toxic they would have to build a society without them 🤔. So basically anyone that has opposing opinions to his wouldn't be welcome in their own country 🤬. So glad somebody actually put him straight and questioned whether these people actually are far-right or are they just people concerned about immigration

@DarrenBar88 I'm thinking of the poor cleaner...if the company has to have a mediocre CEO due to this 10:1 rule...the cleaner won't have a job.
English
The replies are all: "Won't someone think of the rich CEO"
I think the CEO earning nearly £300K in the top 1% of earners is doing alright.
Won't someone think of the poor cleaner?

@ZackPolanski So,your problem is with Trump as you ranted about "a rogue US President".
News for you Zack..he's only POTUS until 2028..our next election is 2029.
I'm sure even you could work out that by then he won't be around,so your stupid idea would be totally destructive to UK.

The Greens have called for a raft of measures to tackle the 'affordability crisis' and end the 'normalisation' of food banks by @RachelCDailey_ thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…
English
@dailybritainonx As an example,you're suggesting that if the lowest paid worker earns £20K per year in a multinational company operating globally,the CEO can only earn £200K.
Good luck with persuading such companies to stay HQ'd in the UK with only mediocre top management.
Madness personified.
English
🚨 NEW: Green Party leader Zack Polanski unveils sweeping plans to tackle Britain’s “affordability crisis” today.
His proposals include:
- A 10:1 pay cap, limiting how much top earners can make compared to the lowest-paid workers
- Free school meals for all pupils
- Universal energy bill support
- Stronger rent controls
- A customs union with the EU to cut business costs
Zack Polanski says: “The affordability crisis is something affecting nearly everyone… any change in circumstance can push people over the edge into requiring a foodbank.”
“This crisis is totally avoidable and down to choices made by this Labour Government and previous Tory Governments.”
“The Greens have a plan… taking on corporate power and vested interests to give ordinary people a way out of this crisis.”
English
@ZackPolanski So..just like you don't understand the difference between debt and deficit,you don't understand that there's a huge difference between the 6th largest economy and 6th wealthiest country...
...it's not what's expected from a wannabe PM...Dunce.
English
It's outrageous in the 6th wealthiest country in the world - 1 in 3 people won't access the palliative care that they need.
Absolutely unacceptable for vital services to go unfunded like this - at the same time the Government refuses taxes on the super rich tackling inequality.
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth
£200 billion for Trident while hospices rely on charity. It's a scandal. What we need is a publicly funded & fully resourced hospice system within the NHS.

Zack Polanski, "It's not enough to just be hopeful... It's about having hope and a plan"
"I also disagree that left wing policies are popular"
"Didn't you - Jeremy Corbyn - get 3,000,000 more votes than Keir Starmer got?"
Jeremy Corbyn, "The highest vote this century for Labour, it was 2017"
Zack Polanski, "That's 3,000,000 more people who wanted to move wealth away from private capital, to nationalise our water services, nationalise our public services, and that's very popular in this country"
"Broadband is a good example of how the media jumped on saying it's not possible, not pragmatic. And that's their number one weapon, to always make people think that better isn't possible, and that change isn't possible"
"And we know why. The multimillionaires and billionaires who pump money into wars, or oil and gas, or into arms companies, or into gambling companies"
"Once they've bought up the assets, they buy the media, then they buy our democracy"
"I guess we're here tonight to say that they're taken our power, they've taken our democracy, they're taken our media"
"But collectively, we are going to take it back"

@Heccles94 When do you ever actually do some mental health nursing,Harry,when you're spending most of each day posting Green Party propaganda on X every day of the week?

Hi, Mental Health nurse here 👋
Please don’t publish pieces on mental health from non qualified people who have no idea what they are talking about. It’s dangerous and stigmatising.
Thanks, Harry

@EllieChowns Typical Greens misinformation. My local Council spends 70% of its budget on social care..up from 45% ten years ago. They never speak of this and that all residents,including the poor,have to fund this through CT increases. Giving with one hand..taking it away with the other.
English
It's well past time to do away with Council Tax, a deeply regressive and unfair tax whereby the poorest households end up paying a much larger proportion of their income than the wealthiest do.

@SaulStaniforth @JOwusuNepaul Blame Blair for his top three priorities...
.."Education,education,education."
...which resulted in accepted University entrants doubling,many for degrees such as PPE and lace making.

Balls: "But Jovan, why should half the country who don't go to university.. why should they pay extra tax so that you don't have to pay to go to university"
Reid: "Like they paid for us when we went to university"
Quite.

@ZackPolanski Don't worry..your current bubble will have burst by then.

@DarrenBar88 What would you suggest as an additional amount to 'fully fund the NHS'?
...and where does that money come from?

Wes Streeting says the Green Party has "pie in the sky ideas".
Here's two of those ideas:
✅️A fully funded NHS.
✅️Taking Wes Streeting's seat at the next general election.
Not "pie in the sky" at all - both achievable and essential.

@technopopulist @AHjerdin They're certainly attracting large numbers,but who are these people?
All I see is the hard left congregating around a party that suits their ideology as they no longer have a political home.
More worrying is the infiltration of this party by more sinister elements of society.
English
@AHjerdin You’re conflating my analysis with my personal feelings about the party. I’m not offering a critique of their policies. I’m pointing to a fact: they are mobilising large numbers of people. You need to separate the ‘what is’ from the ‘what ought’.
English
I think the Greens are a very important party. They’re not going to win the next general election, that much is clear. But the people they represent line up closely with how I see future conflict in Britain taking shape. If you’re a social scientist, they should be a central focus of your attention.
I can’t stand the party or what it stands for. Polanski, in particular, comes across as oddly unserious and lacks the polish you see in someone like Mamdani. But that almost misses the point. He still taps into something real, those raw emotions and ‘animal spirits’ that are driving a significant slice of the population, especially younger voters.
That’s why I find the Greens so fascinating right now. They offer a glimpse into where parts of the country are heading when things start to unravel.
English
@implausibleblog The Clown Prince's grasp of history appears to be of the same level as his grasp of economics and other matters...absolute zero.
But that doesn't stop him pontificating communist nonsense to his acolytes who kneel in adoration of the succesor to King David.

A party political broadcast from The Green Party:
Zack Polanski, "The May elections are coming and something is bothering me"
"That building *pointing to parliament* is 200 years old, and almost all of the time it's stood there a story has hung there"
"You know the story. Two parties, passing power between them. Ping-ponging it. Back and forth. Never changing. It felt like that for a long time"
"But something is happening to that story"
Zack Polanski, "So it's been just over a month since you've been elected. What's it like in parliament?"
Hannah Spencer, "It's strange. I feel like I'm definitely the odd one out in there"
Zack Polanski, "The only plumber, right?"
Hannah Spencer, "Definitely the only plumber that's a woman"
*they both pose for selfies with a group of visitors from Margate*
Zack Polanski, "It just needs more normal people in there"
Hannah Spencer, "Exactly"

@JosephW56436640 @TheGreenParty @_BoldPolitics @ZackPolanski @ZackPolanskiFan @HarrietLamb_ @earthygirl011 @McrGreenParty @chrisw100 @MothinAli @rachelmillward The irony of her talking about being lied to with false promises is deafening.
Almost the entire Greens portfolio of policies consists of precisely that.

"Yesterday in Margate @TheGreenParty won a seat from Reform. Because people are realising that Reform cannot deliver what they promised to people. Reform can't be trusted to run councils or tell the truth about what councils can and can't do."

@ZackPolanski @daniellismore I’m really worried that 33% of the voters think reform are on their side or even competent.
