The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage this week of Kemi Badenoch, whose party has a truly atrocious electoral record under her leadership, and the utterly dismissive coverage of the Greens, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK

Why the Holborn and St Pancras By-Election Was a Good Result for the Green Party
The dismissive coverage of Zack Polanski’s party obscures a far bigger truth about the rise of the left in British politics

If you vote Labour today, the government will shift to the right. If you vote Green today, the government will be forced to shift to the left. This is a no-brainer.

The Guardian, the BBC, the Daily Mail, and The Telegraph, have once again morally and ethically disgraced themselves over their continued allegiance to the genocidal State of Israel, as they spew venom over Zack Polanski’s ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion. 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WWh...

Did you know? In 1975 the United Nations general assembly passed a resolution declaring "zionism is a form of racism & racial discrimination" (the resolution was revoked in 1991 because Israel made this a condition of its participation in peace talks)

I note that all of this analysis has been *completely unaffected and unchanged* by Israel embarking on a programme of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and Lebanon that the white people world has non-negotiably supported. That simply is not a factor, at all.

Extraordinary the way the media is framing anti-Zionism as violent and saying it somehow calls for the extermination of Jews when Zionism is responsible for a genocide and literally exterminating Palestinians. The projection is truly off the charts.

Now the leader of Brighton Labour is casually likening the Greens to the British Union of Fascists, scolding Zack Polanski, the only Jewish leader of a major UK party, for antisemitism and failing to mention her own party's ongoing complicity in arming the racist regime the motion is about.

All the money in the world won’t make Reform’s moronic policies workable. It won’t make their people less racist or idiotic. It won’t sort out their ridiculous egos or end the investigations. It won’t make the majority of us loathe them any less. In fact, the money may well bury them. Let’s hope so.
