UK Greens leader @ZackPolanski has called for some bold media regulation, and the establishment are running scared. Trying to spin it as censorship, using their Free Speech Onion front group;

Intriguingly, this direction of travel doesn't seem to be confined to the Greens. Even the Labour government are getting in on confronting the disproportionate power of underregulated online platforms;

An interesting, much less exploitative approach than the narcissistic economy-greed models which have pushed down populations in western cultures in recent decades:
The UK's Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, thinks UK should move away from GDP to measuring overall well-being...

Starmer and Labour had a golden opportunity here to back away from this, say something like: “The courts have spoken and we respect that. We will cease prosecutions of activists participating in….blah blah.” You get the idea. A chance to save face and back out of a self-inflicted disaster.
But no, Labour doubles down on oppression. This is who they are. This is why the UK Green Party is surging and winning seats.

@jabgoe2089 Not quite true. And: not yet.

People in Nairobi complain about the rent and cost of living, just as people in Newcastle or Frankfurt.
Yet, everybody thinks that this is somehow a local phenomenon: they think: my city isn't working, my country isn't working.
These aren't local issues. It's the same issue manifesting everywhere.
@ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski and #ukgreens is the right topic at the right time. Stop running and look, so hope becomes normal again. #taxwealthnotwork

CW: UK Politics
I rarely bother with Party Political Broadcasts, but more by chance than anything I watched the Green broadcast today.
It was extremely well done, and I can't see how anyone could argue with any of the points that were made. -
I highly recommend watching this #UKGreens party leader #ZackPolanski podcast in conversation with #UK #football legend #GaryLineker discussing amongst other things #UKPolitics #ClimateChange #Israel #Palestine #Podcasts #BBC and hope for the future.
In case anyone hasn’t seen it already I also recommend watching Zack Polanski interviewing #NZPol Green Party co-leader #ChlöeSwarbrick on her recent 2025 trip to the UK. It’s available on YT.

Having been so very disappointed by #UKLabour and the #UKGreens, I would love an opportunity to vote for @CountBinface Alas, as I live in #Cambridge, I shall have to root for him from afar.
