Political Economist | Green Party | 🇵🇸

Explaining the basics of Green Party economic policy against the fearmongering.

We’re not afraid of rich landlords leaving the sector because of rent controls. That’s good for people and the economy. We want to expand welfare because that’s good for people and the economy.

[John Geraghty @jgero1]

Seriously brilliant 👌

[Jamie Smith @JGS952]

Burnham has been convinced by a broken Tsy model that water nationalisation is unaffordable within their fiscal rules (forgetting ideological commitment to privatisation).

The Green Party is the only party that recognises that, actually, water nationalisation is intrinsically..

[Jean Paul Petty @TheoKaiMarlow]

If you’re UK-based join the Greens! I’ve never been a member of a political party before, but @comrade_kumar_ #ZionismIsRacism motion has pushed the Overton window toward proper talk for Palestine, and @ZackPolanski bravery has been astounding.

Splendid stuff.

[Human Spider @_ZodiacZoro_]

@comrade_kumar_ Might be the first time I've seen someone talking to Ashok who's actually willing to listen and learn the Greens' policy and POV without fear-mongering and yelling hysterically.

[Mrs Gee 💚 @earthygirl011]

Palantir Labour has no interest in serving the people who elected them, just corporates, millionaire donors & lobbyists who paid for it

Only one party stands ready to fight the rigged establishment & take back control of our utilities & public services

Vote Green

@NadineJStorey @sallonsax Absolutely. The best way to do that is by reducing the value of those properties. The best way to do that is by disincentivising them to be commodified through rent extraction. The best way to do that is rent controls.

[Ashok Kumar @comrade_kumar_]

Burnham opposes water renationalisation. Only the Green Party supports bringing water back into public ownership.

The Greens need far more communicators like Ashok tbh

[Ashok Kumar @comrade_kumar_]

Erm rent control is a regulation that results in people having more expendable incomes to then buy more cookies.

[K @user03996255]

This is the problem with growth is always good, the gov shouldn’t be giving taxpayer money so people can buy “cookies”. That’s a Ponzi scheme.

The gov’s objective should be to create a fair and stable environment, which uses laws/regs to encourage fair sharing of profits so businesses can flourish naturally, without funding gov excess.

If they refuse, only then should the stick of taxes be used.

[@alistairsinclair @Alistair1965]

Nice simple explanation from Ashok. I feel the Cookie Monster would have approved ;-)

@garysteesside @TheGreenParty Haha I like my job Gary! 🙏🏾

[Gary Spence @garysteesside]

Definitely @TheGreenParty needs to employ Ashok as a spokesperson.

[keewa 🇵🇸 @keewa]

The left needs more skilled communicators like Ashok

[Ashok Kumar @comrade_kumar_]

@bestcanton7 Thanks brother 🙏🏾

[Cantona & Best @bestcanton7]

Excellent again from Ashok. We are lucky to have him as a Green member. What a spokesperson. Ashok faces constant personal attacks by predominantly right wing accounts because he articulates valid arguments. Keep going Ashok
