Green Party Leader Zack Polanski Wants To Build A Society That Doesn't Include Anyone From The Right "There are people who identify as right wing or even far right... Do we think we can change their minds or is it a case of building a society that doesn't include them?" What the hell does Zack mean by this? Tell us @ZackPolanski what do you have planned if you ever get into power?

Zack Polanski slips up again: "There are people who identify as right wing or even far right... Do we think we can change their minds or is it a case of building a society that doesn't include them?

🤔 In amongst all of the Mandelson scandal fallout - the lies, coverups, arse covering, scapegoats, resignations, passing the buck, rank incompetence, departmental distrust, and lack of any actual governing - does Mandelson himself ever go, “I caused all that!”

The shame 🫣

Flashy giveaways do not fix fuel poverty. Poor vetting does not build trust. Conspiracy-friendly politics does not solve anything. Britain needs substance, not spectacle.

Are more people starting to see through it?

Would be nice if we'd seen same level of anger when:
1. Cummings was given security clearance despite failing vetting.
2. Johnson had clearance revoked for dumping security to party with ex-KGB Putin ally
3. When KGB mans son was inducted to Lords without passing vetting

Michael Crick is one of the few journos worth reading or watching...

...but if he says Streeting is the best one to replace Starmer, he has possibly misread the room.

Labour MPs may or may not coalesce in support of Streeting, but his credibility isn't strong enough for Labour voters.

#ukpolitics The ridiculous clamour yesterday by the media + Badenoch to unseat a UK PM (Sam Coates literally salivating at the prospect of bringing down a UK PM) was without merit. Most people in UK are sick + tired of hearing about Mandelson. There are more important things going on in the world!

Faisal Islam: What people in power think the impact of the Iran war will be I have been chatting with some of the world's most powerful people about the conflict and the economy. Here's what they said.

One quoted is Canadian finance minister Francois-Phillipe Champagne:

“A risk in terms of world energy that we'll have to manage for years to come, even when the conflict is over,"

It’s clearly not all champagne even if #IranWar ends..

Ten years on, more Britons back rejoining the EU, but Labour still will not say it New polling suggests voters, especially across Labour’s progressive base, are more open to rejoining the EU than the party leadership is prepared to admit.

#Labour wants the economic gains of closer ties with the #EU while ruling out the institutions that would make that approach coherent.

That is the contradiction at the centre of British politics ten years after #Brexit.
