- Reposted by BuffyThe 50 wealthiest families in the UK own more than 34 million people combined. That level of inequality is totally unsustainable. A wealth tax isn’t radical - it’s inevitable. And the Green Party will keep making the case.
- Reposted by BuffyZack Polanski on the Mandelson affair and the NHS Palantir contract which Mandelson lobbied for.
- Reposted by BuffyWell worth a watch, as always. @johnharris1969.bsky.social and John Domokos visit Gorton, Denton and Manchester. If you told me this was a developing country, I would believe you. No wonder people are furious. Sadly, some are falling for an even bigger lie in Reform. youtu.be/jhVUyJ8gGZw?...

- Reposted by BuffyLabour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election. The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform. Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.
- Reposted by BuffyIs this the most awkward silence in BBC history? Barry Gardiner brings a weird vibe to Newsnight as he refuses to answer this simple question

- Reposted by BuffySir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
- Reposted by BuffyIt’s a longer video… but we REALLY need to talk about: Peter Mandelson and - Global Council Lobbying (as an adviser and as ambassador) Palantir This is where the Mandelson affair needs to go next.

- Reposted by Buffythis is vicious and correct www.economist.com/britain/2026...
- Reposted by BuffyMandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

- William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them. They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear. While helping to consign us all to catastrophe. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

- Reposted by Buffy❓️ Is @zackpolanski.bsky.social right that Keir Starmer should resign? #MandelsonEpstein
- Reposted by BuffyDoes Starmer just not read his speeches and take five minutes to think about them before delivering them? How is that line still in after this week?
- Reposted by BuffyBy the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government. Thanks Keir.
- Reposted by BuffyFor years, Starmer's critics on the left have warned that he was trashing Labour values, kowtowing to the rich and powerful while hurting the poor and the living world. Every time, people here and elsewhere leapt up to call us "closet Tories" and "Reform enablers". Funny how they've gone so quiet.
- Reposted by BuffyYes, context and timing is a huge factor - and @zackpolanski.bsky.social is exactly the right leader for this moment. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- Reposted by BuffyOur latest door-knocking data in Gorton and Denton shows the Greens and Reform neck and neck. We’ve launched a brand new campaign website today to help turn that momentum into action. Will you do your bit to help us?

- Reposted by BuffyIs the monarchy over? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02... They're just a bunch of ultra-privileged people who have exploited their position and other people for personal gain and gratification. That's been rumbled now. It's time for them to go.
- Reposted by BuffyRemember when the Panama papers came out and it showed that the super rich were taking us all for mugs and senior politicians were all in on it and absolutely nothing changed or was done about it? Lets not let that happen again.

- Reposted by BuffyIf Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir bylinetimes.com/2025/04/25/p...
- Reposted by BuffyWe should all be scared. What are these greedy establishment morons getting us into? It’s not just Mandelson that needs to go, it’s the whole rotten govt and their establishment enablers. bylinetimes.com/2026/02/04/j...
- Reposted by BuffyFinally, a politician prepared to fight against the huge roll in public life being handed over to Palantir by our corrupt govts. Why is Palantir being given NHS contracts? They are reportedly involved with rounding up migrants in the US and targeting mainly civilians in Gaza.
- Reposted by BuffyI strongly suspect that a guilty verdict in this case was going to be @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social's long-awaited Big Reveal: "you see - this was the special knowledge I had proving that Palestine Action are terrorists". Because frankly she had nothing else. And now she has nothing.
