I have two questions: Are we talking about the same Zack Polanski under whom Green Party membership has more than tripled? Since when did a national opinion poll determine who leads a party rather than its own members? 🤔

Patrick Spencer you're an elected MP, not an internet troll. Baseless accusations of racism and antisemitism are disgraceful. Zack Polanski is Jewish and has publicly condemned antisemitism. Being Jewish doesn't put anyone above criticism, but such serious allegations demand evidence.

Just two headlines and the election results aren't even in yet. The narrative? Zack Polanski failed. Voting for him is a waste. Not a single election result in. The British media have already declared the loser. That's not journalism. That's manufacturing defeat before a vote is counted.

A “psyop”? Thatcher: out in 1990. Labour: 1997–2010. Then 14 uninterrupted years of Conservative government. Five Tory PMs, including your catastrophic 49 days. If Britain became a “failed state,” your party had 14 years to prevent it, reverse it, or own it.

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Hmm 🤔 there it is again: rage first, facts later. The real clown show is getting furious at a headline you didn’t bother to check. “Mother and father are unacceptable” is clickbait distortion, not what the guidance says. Outrage is easy. Reading takes effort. 🤡🎪

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Will Nigel Farage ever learn? No matter how tempting it is to shoehorn small boats into every story, serious allegations require serious evidence, not insinuation. National security deserves facts, not fearmongering and political theatre.

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

What a poisonous distortion. “Safe, legal routes for Afghan women fleeing the Taliban and Palestinians fleeing Gaza” becomes “activist charities handing us bogus asylum seekers.” The right-wing outrage machine never changes: distort the facts, demonise refugees, harvest the anger.👇

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

“Commie.” Really, Liz Truss? That’s your contribution to a debate on EDMO reform? No argument, no substance, just a lazy insult. Then again, perhaps thoughtful debate takes longer than your time as PM.

2152

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Why is it that whenever something worth debating, like EDMO reform, comes along, some on the right sprint straight to Stalin, communism and mass killing? That’s not debating policy. That’s ideology replacing thought. 🙄

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Hmm, Helen Whately… there’s that phrase again: “MORALLY WRONG.” £37,761 of taxpayers’ money in ONE YEAR, just for Helen's accommodation. When ordinary people receive public money, it’s a moral failing. When Helen does, it’s an “expense.” How terribly convenient.

1142

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

“Proud” of it? The markets gave their verdict. The public paid the price. Please, Liz. Just go away.

061

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

You can’t argue with stupid. But is she really this stupid, or just riding the gravy train? Danny, Tommy and the rest have turned grievance into a business model: feed people outrage, keep them angry, keep them clicking. And apparently “WHO OWNS THE BOAT?” is today’s intellectual Everest. 👇😒

041

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

😂😂😂 There’s optimism. Then there’s wishful thinking. Then there’s delusion with a subscription fee. And then there’s The Telegraph. “I bet Kemi Badenoch will win a snap election.” Daniel, mate, at this point it’s not political analysis. It’s fan fiction with a comments section. 😂

070

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Palestine isn’t a mystery, Neil. Territory: West Bank, East Jerusalem & Gaza. Borders: 1967 lines, subject to agreement. Capital claimed: East Jerusalem. President: Abbas. PM: Mustafa. Legal basis: self-determination, recognition & international law. Occupation doesn’t erase statehood. 👇😒

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Reform promised change. South Tyneside didn’t have to wait long to discover what that shiny new word meant. All 10 Stanley’s nurseries: closing. So forget the slogans. Forget the sales pitch. This is what Reform’s “standing up for working people” looks like in practice. 👇

41812

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Farage banging on about “free speech” is rich. His former ally Nathan Gill took money to push pro-Russian messages. And Farage? I thought it took somewhere between £5m and £36m to secure his services. So which bit of this speech is actually “free”?

142

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

A year ago: Reform 311 seats. Now: 123. Even Tory + Reform falls short. Farage at No.10? Far from inevitable. The bubble is deflating. Make it burst.

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Knocking on doors all year doesn’t earn trust. You’re politicians, not Amazon delivery. 📦 Trust comes from policies, actions and transparency about who funds you. Voters deserve to know who’s paying for all that knocking.

120

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Helen Whately is at it again. What’s “morally wrong” exactly? Working people needing UC because wages don’t cover the bills? Disabled people? Carers? Parents? Poverty isn’t a moral failure. Treating people who need support as one is.

1112

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Put that way, it sounds damning. That’s what happens when you leave out the fact that changes the entire picture: A CLAIM IS NOT AN AWARD Only around 34% of cleared new claims actually result in one. Big numbers make great slogans. Context makes them mean something. 👇🙄

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

That can only be a good thing. If Britain’s billionaires are losing confidence because the country won’t dance to their tune, perhaps we’re finally getting somewhere. A democracy isn’t a billionaire loyalty scheme. 👇

Isabel lives in Dubai. Lecturing Britain about Islam from the UAE is satire so perfect it barely needs a punchline. 🤡👇

Karma comes in many forms. Sometimes it’s poetic justice. Sometimes karma assembles the guest list. And sometimes it’s Ed Sheeran looking up to find Tommy Robinson, Boy George and every right-winger in sight waving from the front row.

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Your parents came from Sri Lanka, yet you call foreign-born people a “betrayal.” Do you know what hypocrisy means, or just how to demonstrate it? 👇🙄

1135

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Ed Sheeran on Ukraine: “I stand with you.” Ed Sheeran on Palestine, when venues and money are at stake: “I don’t take sides.” That’s not neutrality. That’s a greedy coward discovering his principles have a price tag.

050

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Now even Doctors Without Borders is in the firing line. Why? MSF witnesses Gaza & refuses to stay silent. They say Israel devastated Gaza’s healthcare system, call it genocide & demand the UK end its support. Ban the press. Smear the witnesses. Then call the darkness “no evidence.”

Footnote: Delo previously pleaded guilty in the US to wilfully violating anti-money-laundering laws over BitMEX and paid a $10m fine.🤔 But sure, leave that bit off the inspirational poster. “Take back control”= sell it to the highest bidder They don’t think we’re stupid. They’re counting on it.👇

0107

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Look at this response. Does Tice not see the contradiction, or does he think we won’t? A crypto billionaire gives Reform £36 MILLION to “fight the establishment”. How very anti-establishment. What’s the £36m for, Richard, fighting for the little guy? Come on, even satire can’t keep up.

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Shelagh Fogarty’s coverage of Israel increasingly resembles advocacy with a microphone. When Palestinian suffering becomes background noise and excuses become reflexive, decency isn’t merely absent. It’s been abandoned.

260

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

“It’s Reform or the country is lost.” Translation: Reform has run out of arguments, so now it’s selling panic. When fear is your strongest policy, you’re not saving Britain. You’re just hoping nobody notices how empty the sales pitch is. 👇🙄

1101

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I can only assume news reaches Dubai four months late, so Isabel Oakeshott is still catching up on May’s election news. Or maybe this time the indefensible was simply too indefensible, so she went with deflection. 👇🙄

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

UK has plenty of politicians who climbed the immigration ladder only to pull it up behind them. Suella, Priti, Kemi. But Zia Yusuf takes the hypocrisy to another level. His parents came to Britain from Sri Lanka in the 1980s. Now their son isn’t just pulling up the ladder. He’s setting fire to it.

072

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Maureen has a toys-out-of-the-pram meltdown at the mere mention of Palestine. She refused to work with Maxine Peake and Miriam Margolyes for supporting Palestine. Now actors refuse to work with her, and they’re “cowardly”? Her boycott is “principle.” Theirs is “cowardice.” How convenient. 🤔

1117

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

People say Keir Starmer was the worst PM. Not by a long stretch, not when we’ve had Johnson and Truss. But quitting as an MP says a lot. Politics was about power, not public service. When one ladder collapsed, he simply found another. If he truly cared about serving the public, he’d have stayed.

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Another day, another Reform disaster. 😂 Dover: lost to the Greens. Billinge & Seneley Green: lost to Labour. Sycophants on X: “Blame Restore!” Reality? Voters are starting to realise Reform are useless. Win somewhere fresh. Go to pot. Repeat. 🔄

061

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

The sheer number of comments mocking a Palestinian immigrant family who drowned in Britain, instead of showing basic sympathy, is sickening. How did hatred become more natural than humanity? This isn’t patriotism. It’s moral ugliness. 😞👇

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

BBC News at Ten is giving prime-time airtime to Reform UK’s ridiculous £50bn benefits-cut promise? Two questions? Who decides what the nation gets to hear? When did the BBC’s job become giving a megaphone to political fantasy instead of informing the public?

2135

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

A few days into the Jason Arday story, I wondered: why such intense mainstream coverage of one Cambridge professor? Why did the vitriol and wink-wink insinuations from X spill into mainstream media? And now he’s dead. Only 41. Whatever the truth, the handling of this story deserves scrutiny.

180

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Unelected Zia Yusuf, a Reform mouthpiece, calling former Army officer Ben Wallace a “moron” and “traitor”. The arrogance is breathtaking. Wallace served Britain. Zia serves insults from a keyboard. Before calling anyone a traitor, perhaps Reform should produce one plan that survives reality.

151

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

This Farage fanfare is getting increasingly hilarious. His little army of sycophants are behaving as though Nigel is marching into the political equivalent of D-Day. In reality, he’s fighting a by-election against a bin, and nobody outside the Reform echo chamber gives a flying f**k.

4174

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Outside the Farage bubble, nobody is losing sleep over the self-inflicted by-election. We’re just waiting for the charade to finish and for the standard probe into Nigel Farage to restart. So carry on with the flags, friendship bracelets, fanfare and heroic nonsense. The rest of us have popcorn. 🍿

6151

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Just stop and think what Mr Yousuf is saying. EU lorries bring our imports, tourists drive over, and suddenly they need a full British licence? Imagine France saying, “Full French licence or your vehicle stays at Calais.” Reform’s Brexit on steroids. Imagine what that would do to the UK economy. 🤡

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

So this guy finds the time to post this absolute tosh. And apparently we’re all meant to clutch our pearls and storm the gates of the welfare state. Nobody is getting PIP because they had a difficult Tuesday on the toilet. Just rage-bait for people allergic to context. 👇🙄

Trump-voting John Gannon now says he regrets his vote after his Venezuelan fiancée was detained by ICE. A lesson worth remembering: when injustice comes for others, don’t wait until it reaches your own doorstep to care. Read poem “First They Came.” Then ask yourself why it still matters.

0147

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Right-wing outrage has one "tiny" problem: reality. Woman arrested for allegedly stabbing four men. That’s the story, right? No. First: “Women in Burka!” Photos appear. Panic. New script: “Actually, a man pretending to be a woman!” Facts inconvenient? Just rewrite the fucking headline.

054

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

This is unbelievably ridiculous. He's either profoundly stupid or wilfully manufacturing panic. Either way, demanding “Where is the PM?” is absurd. Facts is: -Most have already returned to Morocco. -Even if they were in Málaga, what exactly is the danger to British holidaymakers? 👇🤯

13227

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

The facts right-wingers would rather bury: Ceuta is in the EU, but outside mainland Spain, with special rules restricting movement into mainland Spain and the wider EU. Almost everyone who entered Ceuta yesterday has now returned to Morocco. So much for the “invasion” narrative.

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

John Cleese claiming he's not racist but a "culturalist", then dismissing critics as "uneducated", is ironically an uneducated take.🤨 Reducing entire cultures to their worst examples isn't cultural criticism. It's stereotyping. Education teaches you the difference.

284

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

John Cleese thinks he's not racist—he's a "culturalist." 🤨 Using the worst examples to define entire cultures doesn't stop it being prejudice because you renamed it. Every culture thinks it's better than the rest. The difference is criticising practices, not stereotyping people. 👇😕

4114

Amra Watson @amrawatson.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

There’s a lot of confusion among right-wing X users. They're baffled people are drifting away from Reform and wondering why Farage has lost his shine. 🤨 They’re probably missing quite a lot. Mainly the assumption that Musk’s right-wing echo chamber is an accurate reflection of the country
