The poorest billionaire with just £1 billion makes a passive £1 million a week. In 1990 the had just 15 billionaires, in 2000 there were 27 billionaires and in 2025 there were 157 billionaires - That’s unsustainable.

Well said from @zackpolanski.bsky.social . This is pretty much what I would have tried to say, too. It's heartbreaking, but this 'opportunity' in the 'Labour' Party and UK governance is just a ruse. A distraction. It will be business as usual for the lobbyists and the Labour Together backers.

Approving new oil and gas drilling would be environmentally disastrous and economically illiterate.
A screenshot of a quote tweet where Zack Polanski references The Guardian article that states "Jackdaw gasfield would create only 27 full-time jobs, green campaigners say" and Zack himself says: "Heatwaves are killing thousands in this country. Fossil fuels are an economic dead end. Approving new oil and gas drilling would be environmentally disastrous and economically illiterate."

Go for the real deal, the Green Party has the authentic socialist agenda because they are not in the pockets of big business and their lobbyists. Trust Zack Polanski to tell the truth.

The questioning here is so vapid, and they react to the idea of a public health approach to drugs like he's coming out with some mad shit that should barely be entertained Prohibition doesn't stop people taking drugs, it just fuels crime and drives people to more risky behaviours. We can do better!

@zackpolanski.bsky.social having to literally spell out that if you appoint someone funded by private water companies, they are going to vote in favour of private water companies. You can apply this to lobbyists for any major industry, they're all interchangeable #votegreen @greenparty.org.uk

The enthusiasm of most billionaire media outlets in the US and UK for Trump’s illegal assault on Iran is another reminder of how deranged, perverse and frankly psychopathic these organisations are.
