The well funded Holocaust educational programme is supported by the Starmer Government . It is right to teach young people about the results of hate, fascism, extremism.
With the current #genocide in Palestine and other atrocities globally, combine them all in #Peace Studies

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Alcohol … Starmer’s answer to forgetting the shit show he’s creating

1. This does not target the UK

2. This is clear evidence of being inside a customs union rather than floating alone

3. It was inevitable that Trump's actions at the head of such a large economy would result in dumping elsewhere.. Europe has to be able to take action to counter that.

A brilliant performance from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #bbcqt last night.

Voters who saw it will be in no doubt that the Green Party is about way more than just the environment.

And that Labour and the Tories are done and the battle is between Reform and the Green Party.

Zack Polanski genuinely gives me hope that we can have a different kind of politics, different kind of government as opposed to the 49 years of shite I’ve lived under.

Tonight we got a glimpse of a man leading a political Party that speaks from the heart, with compassion, intelligence and no fear. @zackpolanski.bsky.social has got the @greenparty.org.uk just where the Labour and Reform parties don’t want it - bang in the middle of all that’s relevant in the UK

Audience member rips apart Zia Yusuf's obsession with immigration, all the problems are due to austerity.

He challenges Yusuf to speak about other issues.

Yusuf lasts less than 2 seconds, all he and Reform have is, "Immigrants bad!"

If Question Time was a boxing match tonight was Zack Polanski (Green) v Zia Yusuf (Reform).

And it was an easy TKO knockout for Zack.

I doubt he will be invited back on, Reform can't handle him and they own Question Time.

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
