The race to the bottom shit show that is British politics... Zack seems to be the only one that's remotely human. Clips of a Reform bash look good, a polished turd obvs... but the clueless like shiny shiny & it's time to UP the game. Maybe reread Mcluhan's "The Medium is the Message"... Bannon has.

Always the minimalist.
Note on Philip Glass stationery: “After thoughtful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my Symphony #15 ‘Lincoln’ from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Symphony #15 is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony. Therefore, I feel an obligation to withdraw this Symphony premiere from the Kennedy Center user its current leadership.” Followed by a handwritten signature and the printed name “Philip Glass.”

There’s nothing extreme about wanting a functioning NHS, a fair distribution of wealth, and a liveable planet.
Graphic featuring Zack Polanski speaking at a podium, gesturing with his right hand. A quote on the left reads: “Farage warned just now against ‘a worrying extreme left-wing voice in this country.’ Hmmm. This from a climate denying, Trump loving, NHS selling, corporate stooge who’s been a genuine threat to Britain for decades.” Below the quote: “Zack Polanski – Green Party Leader.” Green Party branding appears at the bottom along with the tagline “Real Hope. Real Change.”

In the 6th largest economy, 103000 people died in poverty in 2024. 120,000 died in fuel poverty, couldn't afford adequate heating. Ethnic minorities, pensioners, single working age adults more likely to die in poverty. Poverty and death sentence is a political choice as govts appease the rich.
