Watched Sky News. They had a report surging online racism against footballers and the presenters asked "why is this happening?". This was literally minutes after the same show had the Tory party chairman defending Jenrick's racism. It was like they were two unconnected conversations.

Both Labour and the Tories are heading for massive losses in May, both led by leaders dragging them down. Yet both are waiting for defeat before dumping their leaders. The dinosaur parties can see the cliff and still won’t turn. Same attitude they have to running the country.

'Fizzing with ideas', really?
NOTHING on the NHS, social care, schools, renters, the environment
Media: "oh look they'll get rid of Stamp Duty" so young buyers can save a few grand on houses they can never afford.
Like Labour and Reform, no real solutions, just gimmicks.

After 14 years of Tory cuts, collapse and underinvestment, their big new plan is… more cuts.
They’ve learnt nothing. They’ve wrecked public services and deserve to be destroyed at the ballot box.

Currently Establishment politicians and media are confirming:
- there is a hierarchy of racism
- there is two tier policing
- there are no human rights
- there is no international law
Expect more confirmations soon

Already so many good reasons to support the Greens, this one seals the deal...

A Green government would proscribe the Israel Defense Forces as a terrorist organisation.

The forces currently actioning war crimes and genocide upon the people of Gaza on behalf of the Israeli government.

This must not be allowed to continue.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish).

Zack is spot on.

Labour will be toast at the next election even if they dump Stramer. These results are a death knell. They include:
Out of touch: 66%
Unclear what they stand for: 65%
Weak: 62%
Untrustworthy: 61%
Incompetent: 59%
Keeping promises: 77% have little to no trust

Stamer must go, he has no mandate.
In the election Labour got 33% of the vote but got 63% of the seats, no mandate there. And now over half of the public want him gone.
Labour now need to do the only thing they live for, start a coup. Get Starmer out.

This is the same script they always use.

"X government program/department doesn't work!"

"So, you're going to fix it?"

"No, we're going to cut funding and sell off the pieces to private equity so they can turn it into a meat grinder for the poor!"

Every right wing party does this now.

1/ Charles, William and Harry have all made their concern and support for Ukraine clear, repeatedly. But what of Gaza? If the King of Spain can say this this, why can't they?
Don't they watch the news? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

King Felipe pleads with Israel to ‘stop massacre and abhorrent acts’ in Gaza

The Reform right like the MAGA right are completely fact averse and know that they can bullshit their way to power because their followers simply don't care about truth.

That's the threat this country faces, and it strikes me that our media are ill equipped to tackle it and failing us all.

“How will it work?” That’s the question for Farage and Reform. Like Trump, they flood lies their supporters don’t care about. Their policies are nonsense. Ask how it works and they’ll either dodge or look dumb. That’s the ground they can’t fight on.

So now the Bank of England governor has invited Farage and Tice for their first formal meeting, can he confirm when he'll be inviting @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Green Party deputy leaders for their meeting? He will do, surely the governor isn't biased?
