This is great stuff from Zack Polanski.

It's so refreshing to see a politician challenge the lies of the Tories/Labour/Reform that all our problems are down to immigration.

They are really not. Let's focus on fixing the actual problems, and not on pretending that immigration is the problem.

Migration is Britain鈥檚 superpower. Our future depends on embracing that truth, not denying it | Zack Polanski

Labour has lost its nerve. At our party conference this weekend, we鈥檙e gathering to set things right, says Green party leader Zack Polanski

@statsguy Key paragraph in this piece:
"But we also need to understand the fears and worries that sit at the heart of Reform鈥檚 rise in popularity. Our rents are high and our wages are low. Our services are crumbling while our debt is growing. But these crises weren鈥檛 caused by migration. They were caused by political choices made in Westminster. It was austerity that stripped our communities bare, privatisation that handed public goods to people seeking profit, and tax breaks that showered wealth on the very richest."

@jschwa1 @statsguy another good one:

"We are now one of the most unequal countries in Europe. The richest 1% hold more wealth than the bottom 70% combined. Public services are stretched to breaking point, but private shareholders keep cashing in. It is not a lack of resources. It is a lack of political will from the very politicians who take money from the richest 1%."
