Tax wealth. Distribute universal basic income. See it as an owed GDP dividend.
Since 2000, the richest 1% of the world's population has taken 41% of new wealth, the poorest half has received only 1%.

Rich buy political parties, media, means of production, cause corruption, climate crisis, make mockery of democracy. Poor die early.

Must redistribute or risk social disorder.
We cannot continue letting billionaires keep the world's money while the poorest suffer

Apparently it helps the Democratic party to run someone who isn't an octogenarian.

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.

He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia.

This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give.

How are Reform getting away with this?

Man with stubble, "Small boats arrivals are 37,000. There are over 4 million kids in child poverty. And 4.5 million who can't get a dentist appointment" #BBCQT

"We spend 90% of the media discourse on the 37,000. How much more could we achieve if we put that effort into the 4.5 million?"

Here it is. First poll to put Greens in 2nd, ahead of Lab and Con, each on 16. (Very close to Yougov's latest, before the FindOutNow whatabouts).
And the Rachel Reeves story hasn't even shaken out yet. ouch

We're just getting started.

Time to lower bills. And tax billionaires.

If you want to see the Green Party take on Reform - this is the moment.

The 5-day week was built for a world that no longer exists.

We have the technology, the data, and the evidence to work smarter, instead of longer.

It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

Sometimes it seems like this government is actively seeking ways to be unpopular.

South Cambridgeshire’s 4-day week:

- Saves them £370,000 a year
- Improves productivity in key areas
- Boosts health and wellbeing of staff

And yet they seek to undermine it by leaking letters to the Telegraph.

My hot take on this its great that the journalist acknowledges that the Green Party is at record membership, record polling and has huge momentum.

But why say "dentally challenged?"

Who or what is that serving?

The state of journalism.

According to The Spectator - I’m the person that bothers Piers Morgan the most.

Green membership doubled, record polling & Piers bothered - I’m delighted!

But we're just beginning. Join us to keep the movement growing and keep bothering Piers!
