Zack Polanski said that under Labour, not only were water and energy being left in the hands of private monopolies, but that also the government was "breaking up our health service and opening it up to private profiteers".

“This report shows that privatisation has been one of the key drivers of the cost-of-living crisis and growing inequality…

[Labour] must go further and faster to address poor services and rising bills and to tackle the climate emergency.”

Reform support ICE, (a.k.a. The Gestapo), and want to bring it to the UK. That’s literally fascist.

Or was it Zia that said Zack was making an ad hom attack… either way, a totally moronic statement

Zia Yusuf ad hom attacked Zack.

Zack pointed out that Zia had the facts wrong, corrected him, and then pointed out that Reform were friendly with a Russian agent.

Fiona Bruce accused Zack of making an ad hominem attack on Zia Yusuf.

Make it make sense.

Even I was surprised when Zia Yusuf (Reform) started throwing his toys out of his pram in response to Zack Polanski turning his personal attacks back him instead.

Zia might be a divisive, hateful, privately educated multi-millionaire - but he can’t handle the heat.

I could watch Zack Polanski utterly wreck Zia Yusuf ALL DAY LONG.

Also, the gall to criticise Zack for making an ad hominem attack in response to attacking Zack ad hominem... You can't have it both ways you fckn clown Zia.

Zack put them all on their back foot. Brilliantly refreshing.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

No court order needed. No right of appeal.

Climate change denier organisations are now referencing AI generated slop.

A good reminder to always check the sources of what you’re reading.

AI ‘Slop’ Websites Are Publishing Climate Science Denial

At the start of June, MSN, the world’s fourth-largest news aggregator, posted an article from a new climate-focused publication, Climate Cosmos, entitled: “Why Top Experts Are Rethinking Climate Alarm...

... that it makes billionaires consider "do I need to take a private flight"

This would raise £ in taxes, and it would reduce co2 emissions

Just as Scotland doesn't need a nuclear plant forced on it, aviation in the UK does not need an expansion

The UK has the most private jet emissions in Europe at 600,000 tonnes of co2

Assuming a person is vegan, doesn't drive & takes all action possible to save on their carbon emissions, a person can save 2/3 tonnes at most

It's time the impotent Labour gov made flying in a private jet so expensive...
