Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Things are getting worse, our kids are less safe and we’re divided.

There’s a tiger in the grass and we’re arguing about the colour of grass.

The enemy is greed, not each other.

We need to find the common ground before it’s too late.

Stand together, not alone.

#TaxWealth #StopGreed

Are we debating the type of grass and missing the tiger?

“A nation of neighbours, not strangers”

They want to Divide > Conquer > Profit.

Let’s not do it for them - less tribalism, identity politics, factionalism.

We must focus on what unites us, not what divides us.

Together, we can fix this.

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

Richard Tice the Hypocrite - who would think such a thing.

Companies he leads extol the virtues of solar energy and emissions reductions and even boast of a net zero building. Tice has been a green champion for 15 years - through business.

Great example of why we need public services in public hands across the UK.

Greens across Britain stand for renationalising because it’s value for the public, not shareholders.

Whether it’s @greenparty.org.uk , or @scottishgreens.org - join the Greens today and be the change the UK needs.

Scottish Greens @scottishgreens.org · 2d

Public services in public hands. 🙌

Scotland has a lower cancellation rate than every English region.

We must now invest in expanding the network, increasing capacity, and ensuring a reliable, affordable service is available for all. 🚆

Public ownership pays off. Cancellation rates 24/25. Scotland: 2%. England: 3.5%. Cancellation rates have been falling in Scotland since ScotRail was taken back into public ownership.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Concerning direction from the US.

Freedom to the shark, is death to the minnow.

Divide > Distract > Conquer.

We need to stand together and look out for each other.

The enemy is greed, not each other.
