Ranvir Singh, "Are you still as a party in favour of legalising drugs, and how would that benefit society?"

Zack Polanski, "Yes we are. This benefits society because the war on drugs is failing. It's pushing people with addiction to drugs into back alleys, that's fuelling gangs able to sell these drugs"

Ranvir Singh, "Legalising gives out a message.. That's a big shift in society"

Zack Polanski, "There would be a big shift in society under a Green Party leadership, because we're not a Labour party"

"If someone has an addictive relationship with drugs that they're on the black market, taking it without knowing what's in it"

"Or would you rather with a public health profession who helps them get off that drugs"

"I think it's obvious we take a public health approach to drugs"

Why were Ranvir Singh and Kate Garraway smiling when Zack Polanski was talking about legally getting people off of drugs?

Zohran Mamdani has turned down an 18% pay rise that would have brought his salary to $305,800 (£227,645).

“I haven’t knocked on anyone’s door in New York City and they’ve said their concern is that the mayor makes too little,” he told reporters on Thursday.

The same day, members of the city council voted to approve a pay raise for themselves and other officials.

Obama has become the biggest headache for Trump 🔥

🇺🇸 Trump at 4:00 PM: "We are winning big in Iran, and you will see the fruits of that very shortly."

🇺🇸 Obama at 5:00 PM: "We already seen the fruits from your illegal war. You wasted billions of taxpayer money. Broke the military. People died. Inflation spiked to historic levels. Many are jobless.

And now we’re worse off than before. Wow, what a BIG WIN. Only a clown cheers this." 🔥

Absolute brutal by Obama 💪🔥

Water companies have been banned from paying bonuses. So Anglian Water has given its chief executive a £1.3m 'retention payment' instead. I would accuse them of taking the piss, but they're dumping most of that into the River Ouse.

The triple lock is a distraction.

Public sector pensions are the real issue. They are unaffordable.

The State is eating itself.

The only person caught trying to rig the 2020 election was Donald Trump—and it's on tape.

UK economy grew by 0.1% in May.

Hikes in energy, water, internet, phone, grocery, dentist, and bills for essentials result in higher GDP.

Higher GDP doesn't say anything about poverty, depletion of disposable incomes. Most people are not better off.

The man on the right calls for a full enquiry over Starmer getting some clothes,a pair of sunglasses, and a match ticket,all declared by starmer, farage saying it was a very serious matter,farage gets 5 million and demands we say nothing.

Hose pipe bans seem a bit redundant when AI data centres are guzzling 11-19 million litres of water every day.

In a Westminster Hall debate this week, I called for action to address the drought risk posed by their excessive water usage during periods of extreme heat.

The BBC is worried about collapsing now that half a million people a year are cancelling their TV licence. They’re talking about forcing a universal tax on British citizens whether they watch TV or not!

I say let it collapse. Mainstream media has completely failed this world.

If an unemployed person mis claimed even £1,000 of benefits would that be labelled an ‘honest error’ ?

Abolish the House of Lords, RT if you want it gone.

Zack Polanski, "When you challenge wealth and power as I do every day, it's no surprise it upsets some people"

"YouGov shows the Green Party polling first with the under 50s"

"We know we need to keep oil and gas in the ground because we have a climate emergency, Andy Burnham signed a fossil fuel treaty, but now he says he has an open mind about extracting new oil and gas from the North Sea"

"Despite the fact that we are living in a heatwave and we need to take the climate crisis seriously"

"If we had decarbonised by 2050 that would cost us less than a single energy shock"

"We've now had two energy shocks in the past four years and its costing us dearly"

"Kemi Badenoch is pushing misinformation because there is no job security in the North Sea"

"That's a geological reality because we have extracted most of the reserves"

"We need to be speaking with workers making sure we are co-designing and coproducing what those new industries look like"

"The answer is obvious, renewable energy. We need to be investing in that"

Both Switzerland and Norway have wealth taxes. They haven't 'destroyed liberty', 'disincentivised saving', 'killed entrepreneurialism' or even forced the rich to leave those countries.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

MPs are proposing to end the monarchy’s blanket exemption from Freedom of Information laws.

The absurdity is obvious: in modern Britain, elected politicians, councils and public authorities can be scrutinised by the public, yet an unelected institution at the heart of the state enjoys special protection from the same principle.

In Italy those responsible for 43 people dying because of their actions are sent to prison. Not one arrest has been made following Grenfell, Hillsborough, Blood Scandal, Postmaster Horizon scandal, soldiers exposure to radiation scandal, PPE and care home scandal. We are told Italy has a Mafia problem.

Thames Water has just increased bonus payouts for "key management personnel" from £2.8 million to £4.1 million – despite being £18.5 billion in debt and causing several category 1 pollution incidents.

Thames bypassed Ofwat's bonus ban, which ONLY targets chief executives and finance managers, by awarding the bulk of the £4.1 million to other executive team and board members.

We were told privatisation would bring efficiency and lower costs – instead we got shitty rivers and some of the highest bills for water in the world.
