"The polling suggests that the Greens' appeal is broader than white collar workers. Those classified as doing "routine" jobs also vote Green in significant numbers"

For some reason, I feel like the media is going to be more cautious with the term "working class" than it's been with Reform...

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

The surge in the Green vote is no surprise. It's part of a resurgence of left wing politics that's happening in many countries as a reaction to the far-right power grab by the super-rich. But unlike previous left wing politics in the UK, it's pro-EU and firmly placed in 2020s rather than the 1970s.

Polanski's reboot has brought the Greens back to where they should have been for decades – like in the rest of Europe. The problem was, due to the David Ike fiasco in 1991, UK Greens became desperate to appear "sensibly suburban". That made them an outlier. But now they've regained their edgy USP!

SPOILER ALERT: Green policies are popular not populist:

🟢 The super-rich should pay their fair share.
🟢 Immigration is necessary.
🟢 Refugees deserve respect.
🟢 Diversity is good.
🟢 Brexit is bad.
🟢 The state should run certain utilities.
🟢 Climate protection

All these used to be Labour positions.

It's fascinating to watch cooler Labour heads like Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham say that comparing the Greens and Reform together is a terrible tactic.

Yet Labour ministers are hourly on shows keeping up the same narrative.

The Green Party and Reform are completely the opposite!

Telegraph declines to tell regulator how fake banker story got published The Telegraph has refused to tell IPSO how an article about a made-up banker supposedly hit by school fee rises came to be published.

Extraordinary that the Telegraph is refusing to tell Ipso how its story about imaginary couple Al and Alexandra Moy and their non-existent children Ali, Harry and Barry got published.

This, amongst many other things, should be the end of that rag!

it was quite funny at the time. I thought it was a spoof but later @pressgazette.co.uk suggested it was a pitch from a PR firm

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

As usual, you will now hear all of the Starmer fans banging on about the SDP in 1983.

For my part, I've been waiting for meaningful change my entire adult life.

Labour and the Tories are finally being punished for their lies, their corruption, and their hubris.

I can't wait for 2029.

This is absolutely wild.

The Greens in second place in new opinion poll.

Hope wins 💚

Asymptomatic infections are still driving death and disability because many are unaware they are spreading it. This is why testing shouldn’t have ended. It’s not a cold. We could have adopted other non invasive methods like colour change tabs on masks or monitors that detect covid in the air.

get blood clots, blood vessel damage and long covid but your risk is decreased. The risk is still a cumulate health risk. Think of hepatitis C that can be asymptomatic but still can cause organ damage.

Covid is airborne.
It’s a predominantly airborne virus, it can linger for several hours after an infected person has been in a room. That includes being asymptomatic, you still spread the virus to others. Asymptomatic infections aren’t necessarily harmless, you can still

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.

The Labour Party's attacks on the Green Party are disgusting, deceitful, right wing, gutter trash. They're more like a Daily Mail headline than actual politics.

Looking forward to the Green Party receiving as much media attention as Reform based on their polling. That weekly seat on BBC Question Time must be about to start any moment.

Can you imagine the coming MSM meltdown when the Greens outpoll ReFuk? They'll need safety nets around the roofs of all their office blocks.

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.

This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.

And we're making hope normal again - together.

Jake Wallis Simons [bald genocide fan] for The Telegraph: "The Green's extremist victory pushes Britain one step closer to the abyss": Polanski's party has embraced sectarianism with open arms. It will be the death of the British Liberal tradition.

Paul Goodman [Bloaty-headed old gammon face] for the Telegraph: "This is the beginning of the end for our liberal democracy": our ancient norms and traditions will not survive a sectarian turn

I'm sure some people will think this is just a hyperbole, just a little joke. But:

a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead

Anyone want to take bets on how long before we see newspapers publish cartoons of Polanski as a globe-straddling puppetmaster with crude caricatures of Muslim rapists hanging from his strings?

It would be interesting to know how many tax dodging creeps now demand that the British taxpayer repatriates them back to Blighty as things have got a bit sticky in their tax haven paradise.

Reeves and Starmer would rather the royals got more cash than our public services. It's us vs the elites. #AbolishTheMonarchy

I can’t do that, I’ll get E. coli from the sea.

No, of I don’t I don’t support nationalising the water companies, why do you ask?
