    “Labour’s biggest donors backed Burnham for PM, disclosures reveal”

    “Andy Burnham’s campaign to replace Keir Starmer was backed with more than £340,000 in large donations, primarily from figures associated with Keir Starmer’s leadership, including the scandal-ridden think tank recently rebranded as ThinkLabour.

    Much of the cash came from Lord Sainsbury, a New Labour minister who also funds Labour Together alongside a small number of high-net-worth mega donors, including Gary Lubner, a South African billionaire who also donated to Burnham’s campaign”

  2. ‘The #Green party leader, Zack #Polanski, called for #Burnham to host an emergency Cobra meeting to discuss wildfires across Britain, including the #Suffolk blaze 🔥’

    This is a very valid request - yet it’s buried in the second to last paragraph.

  3. Zack #Polanski doesn't need to apologize for a genuine error which he'll avoid in future.
    However, an apology in the form of "I'm sorry if I inadvertently caused offence and alarm" would close the episode down and allow him to move ahead, claiming the high ground.

  4. Polanski has been foolish here. He must surely know that the corporate media are absolutely gunning for him.

    He needs to check every single word and every single photo of anything he boosts on social media. Sure, I'm sure it was a genuine oversight and he didn't mean to boost the photo, but he has to be so careful. The slightest mis-step and the corporate media will be all over him like a rash.

  5. The UK muckraking rag aka the Jewish Chronicle constantly plumbs the depths of pro-genocide depravity … and then it just f*cking keeps on plumbing!

    “Green party leader Zack Polanski has given presumptive new Labour leader and PM Andy Burnham an ultimatum over Israel. Polanski, Britain’s only Jewish party leader, has said that Burnham must dump Israel and recognise the Gaza genocide — anything less is a red line”

    Debatte in der Labour- und Gewerkschaftsbewegung über Klimaverpflichtungen, da viele Burnham auffordern, Bohrungen in der Nordsee nicht zuzulassen

  8. @kittylyst It is v hard to imagine #ZackPolanski losing that by-election unless he is smeared to hell.

    So I think that a carpet-bombimg of smears against #Polanski will be the forewarning of #Starmer's resignation of his Commons seat.

    By the time Starmer takes the #ChilternHundreds, the people of Holborn and St Pancras will believe that Polanski has installed Hamas hit squads in their bedrooms.

    “Green Party sources told the Canary that the national party campaigns team has taken over and, in essence, that Manchester can expect to see the “kitchen sink” thrown at the mayoral race. From the fact that they spent much of the Burnham by-election planning this, they’re clearly taking it seriously”

  10. Polanski slams #right-wing MPs after Edinburgh anti-Muslim attack

    A video appeared to show a topless man on ground shouting that he is “protecting the country” as he is held by an officer

    Following the incident, #Polanski, leader of the #GreenParty of #England and #Wales, said: "Let’s be very clear that vicious #anti-Muslim #hatred by# politicians and their trillionaire mate Elon #Musk create the conditions for this kind of #vile attack.

  12. Polanski bleibt – aber nicht bedingungslos. Gladbach stellt dem 40-Jährigen laut Bild klare Anforderungen: offensiver Fußball, Nachwuchsförderung (Danfa, Horvat) und ein Ende der Schönrednerei. Ob das reicht, um die Fohlen wieder in die Spur zu bringen? Die Messlatte liegt. #Gladbach #Bundesliga #Polanski #BMG bmg-news.de/gladbach-stellt-3-

  13. Klassenerhalt. Das war's. Borussia Mönchengladbach überlebt die Saison als Zwölfter — ein Trostpflaster, mehr nicht. Kader zu entmisten, Trainer-Frage offen? Polanski bleibt wohl.

    “There are two conclusions to be drawn from last week’s momentous local elections in Britain.

    The first, and most obvious, is that two-party politics in the UK is now finished”

    [..]

    “The second lesson is that Labour is determined, before it sinks into terminal irrelevance, to pave the way for a far-right, Reform-led government under Nigel Farage”

    [..]

    “The question for Polanski, as for Corbyn before him, is this: can a chink in the armour be found? Can the spear of an insurgent politics pierce through the billionaires’ defences? Can it finally bring the Epstein class to their knees?”

  16. CW: UK Politics

    Polanski has been foolish here. Maybe it was a completely inadvertent error. Maybe the situation was a bit confusing.

    But he must surely know that if there's even the slightest hint of impropriety, the media will be absolutely all over it in a way that would never happen for a more billionaire-friendly politician.

    He really needs to up his game and be way more careful about his personal tax affairs.

  17. How the smear campaign targeting the Green Party and Muslim voters failed
    The Greens, which made enormous gains in the local elections, were repeatedly accused by their rivals and sections of the media of engaging in '#Muslim sectarianism'
    middleeasteye.net/big-story/ho

    from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
    10 May 2026

    or the last six weeks, the #UK's #GreenParty has been the victim of a sustained smear campaign.

    Leader #ZackPolanski has been accused of being an #antisemite, a liar, a fabricator and a hypocrite.

    His supporters have been painted as crazed Islamists obsessed by foreign policy at the expense of day-to-day issues.

    4 national newspapers published cartoons of #Britain's only #Jewish leader, which have been widely criticised as #antisemitic.

    ...yesterday, it became obvious that the attempt to destroy #Polanski and the #Greens had failed.

  18. “Is There a 'Green Ceiling'?”

    @green

    “The Greens face a potential ceiling to their support, if they are perceived as polarising or even as ‘rabblerousers’ rather than offering bold leadership that unites Britain around a response to its real challenges – inequality, the cost-of-living and insecurity, including from environmental breakdown. This concern about a ceiling is now a real and present risk: The election campaign that just concluded showed clearly that the Greens are definitely at risk of being perceived as unsafe controversialists”
