Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

This is what Labour should be doing. They probably will now the Greens are 😂

As a proud lefty, and someone who had signed up to Your Party on day 1, I joined the Greens yesterday. In particular for their clear position on fairness for both people and the planet and their unequivocal support for trans rights. This ill-considered post further proves it was the right decision.

Losing one of our best thinkers, Benjamin Zephaniah, hit me hard and Zack Polanski referencing Him brings me hope.

I do hope that trumpism and farage get silenced into oblivion.

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.

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."

Tice has connections to Russian oligarchs as well as Nathan Gill who spread pro-Russian propaganda in the UK.

What a weirdo.

It's very strange how covid exposed a lot of things - like how governments could just spend without having the money, or how that money then flows to the wealthiest in society, or how work (and life) ...

Leader of the Greens, @zackpolanski.bsky.social, is right that the richest could and should contribute more, while still remaining well off. Also, that they can't pick up and move the land they own: wealth flight is exaggerated.
Britain can be, and must become, fairer.

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

Graphic. Cut out of Zack Polanski saying " Zia, do you ever think immigration is the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?" In speech bubble. Cut out of Zia Yusuf from Reform below.

In advance of the publication of my new book with @markwitton.bsky.social, "Spinosaur Tales" (Nov 6th), for #FossilFriday, here's a nice close up of a tooth of Baryonyx sitting in the jaw of the holotype. More spinosaur goodness coming in the next weeks as I desperately try to promote the book.

I have pronouns in my bio and email signature because: 1) it normalises this practice; but 2) I have a non-English name and most people don't know what my gender is just based on my name.

"The Green Party had a particularly strong conference season under Polanski... with a bold platform of nationalisation of major utilities, a wealth tax and stronger environmental policy."

Power and wealth have taken our assets. We must take them back.

I find it increasingly funny that hit pieces on @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk are essentially who would choose to vote for someone with crazy radical ideas of spreading wealth and equality for all. Why would anyone want to protect the planet. Won't you think of poor landlords!!
