@zackpolanski.bsky.social being attacked on a regular basis by media outlets such as The Spectator, Daily Express and by certain members of the Labour Party shows how much he has them panicking, they don't actually want a more equal, fairer country, they don't want change, they are happy.

Yorkshire Building Society appear to have shut down the account of a couple – he's a former barrister – for being pro-Palestine activists.

YBS urgently need to explain themselves. If they don't, they must feel the power of a consumer boycott.

Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours.

It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege.

Not a ceasefire.

Runaway #ClimateChange is here, now.

The only party with any plan to deal with it is @greenparty.org.uk.

All Labour can think of is chasing endless economic growth that NEVER "trickles down" and is an excuse to avoid ever discussing wealth redistribution.

Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of Palestinian prisoners [hostages] & banned their families from giving interviews

Contrast that with the celebrations around the release of Israeli hostages & the many interviews being broadcast around the world.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

If Netanyahu can do a genocide that puts the Nazis to shame to stay out of prison, Trump can, and will, do worse to keep the #EpsteinFiles out of the courts and news.

Phillipson says Hamas committed appalling atrocities, inflicted significant suffering, killed countless civilians & took hostages, and for those reasons it can have no role in govt.

The Israeli regime has done all that & more. Why aren't you dictating who can govern Israel?
