Let’s make different political choices.

For decades now British people have been told to simply swallow austerity. They’ve been told that the NHS needs cuts, that libraries need closing and that child poverty can’t be tackled.

Greens say: Bullshit!
Join the Green Party today.

I 'hope' you don't mind my rubbish artistic attempt at this using a website, but that line "make hope normal again" reminded me of something.

Centrist politics is dead in the UK

It's

Green Party - left wing progressive, caring society, equality, inclusion

Vs

Reform UK - far-right, ultra nationist, promotes selfishness avarice, war, inequality, discrimination, persecution of minorities, misogyny, cronyism, xenophobia/extreme racism

It’s time to hold Labour, Tories and Reform to account for decades of failed trickle down economics, authoritarianism, spiralling national debt and complete liquidation of our national assets for quick cash.

It was them not immigration.

The message seems clear, Greens will challenge Reform. This needs to be the choice at the next election. But it can't all be on Polanski.

I have to say, it’s great to see Reform being called out for exactly what they are and what they do by Zak Polanski on #questiontime

So satisfying to finally hear an unapologetic case for equality and fair tax being made on Question Time today by @zackpolanski.bsky.social (and getting lots of applause). High point: Zack telling Zia Yusuf, “you absolutely are a fascist from a far right, racist party”. 👏👏👏

It was incredible the number of lies told about the Green Party by Reform on Question time this evening.

The #BBCQT audience proved what I keep saying, the 'problem' of migration is manufactured, the media hypes it up, the far-right hypes it up, social media bots hypes it up

Decent people recognise the benefits & necessity of immigration

Not only did @zackpolanski.bsky.social conduct himself with integrity and honesty on #BBCQT, he also called out Reform directly for their far-right policies and associations. There is only one party combatting the rise of Reform and it's @greenparty.org.uk. Other parties act as their cheerleaders.

And Zia Yusuf was introduced as a "self-made millionaire". 🤔 #BBCBias #bbcqt

Rupert Read @rupertread.bsky.social · 18h

Absolutely disgracefully biassed intro of #bbcqt (Questiontime) by Fiona Bruce: alone of all the panellists, she singled out a controversial policy of Zack Polanski / the Green Party for comment in her intro remarks. #BbcQT is systematically biassed in favour of the Right, and against the Greens.

This is just more hounding of people who are neurodivergent and disabled by Labour. In the meantime they continue to rule out any meaningful taxation on the super-rich! No different from Tories and Reform, treating people who rely on welfare as an expense! Lets look after each other and #VoteGreen 💚

So Labour want to:
- Reform the ECHR (for the worse)
- Make life much much tougher for Indefinite Leave to Remain visa holders and applicants
- Bring in draconian extra powers to police protest
- Widen facial recognition
- Bring in compulsory national ID
- Deport more people

Not very Labourish.
