He came over very well on BBCQT last night. We need politicians who are willing to take the fight up to Reform and their lies.

As if linking paracetamol use in pregnancy to autism wasn’t ridiculous enough, RFK Jr is now linking circumcision to autism.

I actually had to look up a few different sources first before posting about it because I thought it was a joke.

Where does he get these ideas from?

This is what is so ridiculous about the argument ‘they will just leave’. What is the benefit to our country of millionaires and billionaires who don’t pay tax, don’t contribute and hoard homes and wealth whilst we have a housing crisis and poverty?

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

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

Mental health doesn't take a day off.

The Green Party is committed to ensuring mental health and physical health care are equally prioritised.

That means funding major improvements in mental health care - so that all of us can access the support we need, when we need it.

It was great to spend some time with @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Handsworth today, welcoming him to one of my favourite parts of the city (outside Billesley where I live, of course). The reaction on the streets was great and he had a real connection with people. Can’t wait to see the video.
