A huge thanks to @ZackPolanski and the rest of the @TheGreenParty for restoring sanity and humanity, to British politics, and ignoring the received wisdom, that no politician or party can say positive things, or it is political suicide.

As we can see now, and @ZackPolanski has exposed Keir Starmer for the fraud he is, in claiming that his nasty authoritarian, anti-people policy, was a political necessity. No it was a choice of Starmer, and the regressive forces he represents.
2/
@ZackPolanski has done a marvellous job in interviews on mainstream TV of being level-headed, in answering the attempts to trip him up, in an intelligent and persuasive way. I think the attacks and smears are backfiring, because people do not see what they are being told.

It raises huge questions about the uni-parties, and their neoliberal doctrine, over the last 45 years, and Reform is another one of them, not an alternative as it falsely claims. The neoliberal uni-parties have worked hand in glove, with the mainstream media, to gaslight people.

The media have gaslighted people into believing that neoliberal doctrine and austerity, low taxes on the very rich, was a necessity, and there was no other way. That only economic growth mattered, and addressing the climate and ecological emergency, was a costly burden.
5/
No, uni-party neoliberalism, was the choice of the very rich, to make themselves even richer, at the cost of everyone else. In the last several decades, there has been a skyrocketing divide between the rich and ordinary people.

This is not left wing ideology, because the only way we can survive the challenges of the climate and ecological emergency, which threatens our societies with catastrophe in the near future, a far more equal distribution of wealth.

By far the biggest carbon emissions in the world, are from the top 1%, who use their growing wealth and power, to subvert our governments and political establishment, to work in their favour, against the public interest.
8/theguardian.com/environment/20…
The very rich, are literally killing us, and they must be taxed far more to limit their power, and to stop the clique of the very rich, in subverting our political system, in favour of the very rich. Reform are a fake grass roots party, funded by the very rich.
