What you say regarding Truss and Johnson, Tarqs, I agree with wholeheartedly.

"The Green Party had a particularly strong conference season under Polanski... with a bold platform of nationalisation of major utilities, a wealth tax and stronger environmental policy."

Power and wealth have taken our assets. We must take them back.

Sarah Smith #r4today says Trump gave no details about (didn’t know or care) what happens next with the Gaza/Israel peace deal but she can confirm that Trump will be “furious” on Friday if he isn’t awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Wow.

Inspirational.

Imagine how high the Green Party would be polling if they got the same 24/7 coverage as Reform.

It would be much higher than Reform.

You see what is happening in the USA.

That will happen in the UK if Nigel Farage becomes PM.

Because he is Donald Trump's puppet and Nigel Farage will sell the UK to him straight away.
