Polanski’s economic policies took 2 minutes of gentle interview pressure during his media love bombing first week in the job, and even under such a light touch he ended up responding that if he crashed the markets (which he 100% would, within hours) “well the markets are a tool of capitalism so maybe they deserve to go.”
The Greens will lie that they have costed plans and that it won’t harm the country until oushed to a point they cant defend anymore, at which point they snap to “well maybe we need to break everything and anyone on more than minimum wage deserves to suffer the cosequences of our Marxist LARP”
They fundamentally hate our country. They want to disarm us in the face of Russian war in Europe, they want to bankrupt us into a rotten commune of perpetual poverty (so long as it’s equally distributed poverty) and strip away all our national culture. They’ve made clear they believe in unlimited, open doors immigration and only paused that policy because it makes them completely unelectable.
They’ve consistently tied themselves to the division over Gaza, bolstered radical islamic sub-factions in British politics, and antisemetic groups. Running an election ad for this by-election in entirely urdu, overlaid with images of bombed Gaza and Starmer’s face? Unbelievable breach of standards.
These people have shown who they are just as much as the sleezebag, corrupt false-patriots in Reform, and I like what I am seeing no more. I am ashamed of my own generation for supporting them to this degree. The social media age has made our politics more stupid, and more unthinkably divided than ever before.
Looks like a proper shitshow in UK politics at the moment, then again has been this way for well over a decade now
You posted a YouTube video from some rando account suggesting that it was posted by the newly-elected MP, and then copy/pasted some other rando’s lie-ridden opinion. Everything you’ve shared here is at best irrelevant, and at worst misinformation.
I get that you’re sad that Reform lost, but they’re the wrong path for this country. Maybe one day you’ll understand that. The Greens ran on a platform of hope and community over division and fear and I’m absolutely thrilled that they beat Reform so bad. It renews my faith in humanity that we can make good choices in the face of divisive, hateful demagogues and that’s just awesome.
The YouTube video is a real Green Party campaign video, here’s the Bengali version of it. Obviously it’s just racist fear-mongering though, putting out political messaging in non-English languages like Urdu and Bengali is fairly normal.
Yeah I realised that after watching the TLDR News coverage. I hadn’t seen the video myself obviously 'cause I don’t watch TV and don’t speak Urdu ;-) It was the fact that it felt like racist fear-mongering that made me jump to conclusions. Like, seriously, as a politician, you go to where the people are. If a large portion of your electorate speak a different language, you’d better figure out how to talk to them.

I was like why would she do this? This is very unusual

Read this on the other site, very concerning

That guy is pro israel. He knows what he is doing
Well he used the word “antisemitic” to describe a party led by a Jew, so that was my first hint ;-)

Zohran did the same in NYC as well.

Even the Brexit campaign did it: https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/sites/default/files/pdf_file/195_17_Response.pdf#page=65
Well there ya go, proof that it’s fake outrage!

That’s some mega centrist/starmerite cope. Their dishonesty and dirty tactics have failed in G&D.
The user is a moderator of worldnews on one of the major fediverse servers. That should tell you everything you need to know
The actual videos are on instagram but I’m not on instagram, so I posted the video that had been copied from instagram
Here’s an article about them:
Goodwin described the video as “blatant sectarianism” and criticised it for not being in English.
Green Party sources told TOI: “We produced these videos to reach out to communities who speak these languages.
”The Urdu leaflet shows Spencer in front of a mosque and says: “Labour must be punished for Gaza”.
Just under 40% of Gorton’s population is Muslim.

You think I’m sad? Reform is the worst party in the UK and Farage is one of the biggest jokes in UK politics of all time
It’s pretty clear I’ve touched a nerve so I’ll leave it there
Yeah you’re engaging in the kind of centralism “everyone is bad so we should just give up” nonsense that entirely unhelpful.
I know I shouldn’t engage, but… actual troll?
He is a pro genocide in Gaza. He tries to make any pro palestine politicians look bad

This might be the oddest electorate I’ve ever seen tbh
