The Overton window’s been creeping right for many years now. This is the result. Disgusting.

It must be so confusing that all their smear tactics aren’t working.

“Why can’t we control the narrative like usual?!”

Because it’s time for something new, and with your current values you’re not invited.

I would far rather have an artist, painter, hypnotherapist, plumber, nurse, gymnast, gardener or frankly any normal person as a leader than yet more Oxford-educated political clones to run the country.

It brings me so much joy how much your authenticity triggers them Zach.

I can’t quite believe the manufactured outrage the RW media created over just 1 additional penny of tax on every pound for these ludicrously wealthy people.

1 penny per pound.

The utter greed.

The same 52%, I may add, that are likely now gleefully voting for Reform because “things are worse than ever”.

"You left Europe because you wanted less boats, you have more boats. You left Europe because you wanted more investment. You have less investment."

Brexit was never about anything other than the corporate capture of an entire nation through disinformation, lies and fear.

And 52% fell for it.

Can we revisit this in a year Jack, and see where the Greens are by then?

If we want the whole UK to thrive, we need to acknowledge that the London-centric approach isn’t working.

A good step would be relocating Parliament and see how that changes the status quo.

I was thinking that too Victoria. Consummate professional, and really levelled, respectful discussion with a great panel of guests.

What an exceptional exemplar of who the establishment really work for.

Arresting peaceful protestors who might interfere with the powers that be.

When it comes to vote, remember, this was a political choice.

It was a great show Richard, and loved hearing your thoughts on MMT, tax and low hanging fruit. Was also nice to be challenged on UBI which I’ve always been a big supporting of - UBS you say? 👍

Zack Polanski consistently knocks it out of the park. Level-headed, concise, considered and diplomatic while also being fiercely unwavering in his values. This is what a leader looks like #newsnight

Corporate capture from local communities and local people.
