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."

The Green Party is polling higher than ever before. Our membership is growing rapidly.
And every single day we are surging.

Where Labour have failed, the Left must be ready to take on Reform.

Let’s make different political choices.

For decades now British people have been told to simply swallow austerity. They’ve been told that the NHS needs cuts, that libraries need closing and that child poverty can’t be tackled.

Greens say: Bullshit!
Join the Green Party today.

I 'hope' you don't mind my rubbish artistic attempt at this using a website, but that line "make hope normal again" reminded me of something.

Centrist politics is dead in the UK

It's

Green Party - left wing progressive, caring society, equality, inclusion

Vs

Reform UK - far-right, ultra nationist, promotes selfishness avarice, war, inequality, discrimination, persecution of minorities, misogyny, cronyism, xenophobia/extreme racism

It’s time to hold Labour, Tories and Reform to account for decades of failed trickle down economics, authoritarianism, spiralling national debt and complete liquidation of our national assets for quick cash.

It was them not immigration.

The message seems clear, Greens will challenge Reform. This needs to be the choice at the next election. But it can't all be on Polanski.

So satisfying to finally hear an unapologetic case for equality and fair tax being made on Question Time today by @zackpolanski.bsky.social (and getting lots of applause). High point: Zack telling Zia Yusuf, “you absolutely are a fascist from a far right, racist party”. 👏👏👏

Not only did @zackpolanski.bsky.social conduct himself with integrity and honesty on #BBCQT, he also called out Reform directly for their far-right policies and associations. There is only one party combatting the rise of Reform and it's @greenparty.org.uk. Other parties act as their cheerleaders.

Rupert Read @rupertread.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely disgracefully biassed intro of #bbcqt (Questiontime) by Fiona Bruce: alone of all the panellists, she singled out a controversial policy of Zack Polanski / the Green Party for comment in her intro remarks. #BbcQT is systematically biassed in favour of the Right, and against the Greens.
