Greens ‘on track’ to supplant Labour as favourite party in London, says Zack Polanski

Exclusive: poll asked voters to rank parties on how favourably they felt about them, with strong support in capital and among younger voters The Greens are viewed more favourably than any other party in London and among younger voters, polling produced for the party has shown, with its leader, Zack Polanski, saying this showed they were “on track” to supplant Labour. The YouGov poll, carried out to coincide with the Greens’ ongoing annual conference in Bournemouth, asked voters in England to rank the five main parties in order of how favourably they felt about them, rather than the usual metric of which they planned to vote for.

The UK household debt is over £2 trillion.

Debt once public now loaded to households e.g. student debt. Energy debt rising. People borrowing for healthcare.

Mortgages 7 times salary being issued. Soaring rents.

Real average wage stuck at the 2008 level.

What could go wrong?

Richest 1% has more wealth than 70% of UK population combined.

Top 20% own two-thirds of wealth, receive 36% of income.

Bottom 20% own 0.5% of wealth, receive 9% of income.

Can't grow economy or have social stability.

Poverty is political choice. Which political party wants to address this?

The government must ensure fair distribution of income

'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'

“People are angry, because living standards are falling”

We need more leaders like @mothinali.bsky.social to call out the problem: greed, falling living standards and rising wealth inequality. Not divide and distract.

The enemy is greed, not each other.

The NHS is one of the greatest gifts our kids can inheritance. We must protect our NHS from further privatisation at all cost. It’s their future.

Profit should never come before people.

More evidence of Private Equity disaster in US healthcare

PE bought hospitals, GP practices, nursing homes.

Cut wages, staff, investment, care; load with debt; extract profits; deaths, injuries rise.
