At least one senior Labour official seems to finally remember they aren't in Reform.
The changes won't just harm economy and country, they'll destroy families and force more people into becoming undocumented, leading to more deportations. They need scrapping not pausing.

Sir Sadiq Khan calls for pause on new immigration rules

The mayor of London said the changes had "moved the goalposts".

It’s interesting that they can’t say anything about what you were actually talking about on #BBCQT because they don’t have any decent arguments in response. So they just try and attack you. So childish.

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."

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.

He came over very well on BBCQT last night. We need politicians who are willing to take the fight up to Reform and their lies.

As if linking paracetamol use in pregnancy to autism wasn’t ridiculous enough, RFK Jr is now linking circumcision to autism.

I actually had to look up a few different sources first before posting about it because I thought it was a joke.

Where does he get these ideas from?

This is what is so ridiculous about the argument ‘they will just leave’. What is the benefit to our country of millionaires and billionaires who don’t pay tax, don’t contribute and hoard homes and wealth whilst we have a housing crisis and poverty?

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

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

Mental health doesn't take a day off.

The Green Party is committed to ensuring mental health and physical health care are equally prioritised.

That means funding major improvements in mental health care - so that all of us can access the support we need, when we need it.

It was great to spend some time with @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Handsworth today, welcoming him to one of my favourite parts of the city (outside Billesley where I live, of course). The reaction on the streets was great and he had a real connection with people. Can’t wait to see the video.

An english politician speaking honestly and (in my view) accurately, without a hint of spin, racism or rhetoric. And the audience clapped!

This is not AI. this actually happened on BBC last night. 👇
