Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

Ringing a call centre with the sole intention of ruining the day of the employee who answers? Prize cunt. No exceptions. You've got a complaint. You're angry. The staff member on minimum wage is trying to help you. Don't be a bullying cunt.

Diverting Aberdeen waste to landfill site cost more than Β£370,000 The facility - used by Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray councils - was shut down in June last year.

Aberdeen's faulty incinerator cost councils more than Β£150 million to build, and yet costs are increasing with every shutdown.

When it is functional it belches out toxic fumes next to a primary school.

Four years ago we delivered free bus travel for everyone under the age of 22.

Now it's time to go further.

We're committing to deliver free bus travel for everyone in Scotland - on a bus network that has been brought back under public control. 🚌

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

Scrapping the Equality Act would leave the door open to all kinds of terrible discrimination. A retrograde move that would take Britain back to the 1950s/60s, pre equality legislation. There's no public support for that.

More than almost anyone else Sodha’s faux-reasonable anti-trans diatribes in the Guardian - claiming *concern* about women’s rights - contributed to undermining the Equality Act.

If Reform gets in cis women will lose every gain they fought for since the 1960s, thanks to β€œjournalists” like her.

The victims of Epstein and his associates seem to be getting forgotten amidst the political psychodrama.

Should Starmer resign? Should Mandelson be investigated for the contents of those emails? Yes.

But where is the justice for the girls who were sexually abused? When will their voices be heard?

When Anas Sarwar calls for Keir Starmer to step down today, let it be recognised as a last ditch attempt to distract us from this lovely tweet from 2025, far after Peter Mandelson was already implicated in a fair few disgusting acts.

Westminster has failed us but so have their stooges.

🚨 BREAKING: Filton 6 defendants have been given a "not guilty" verdict or "no verdict" by a jury on ALL charges.

Not a single defendant was convicted of any offence.

The jury also refused to convict Samuel Corner on the charge of committing GBH against a cop

This bastion of moral virtue has opinions about the Green Party.

Just remember that as they continue to attack us.

This is who they are. Mask is off.

A text-based meme addressing the argument that "plants feel pain." The text reads: "What about plants? I read a study which found that plants can feel pain too. How about I jam this carrot in your eye and we will see which one of you feels the more pain."

9. We’ve become so used to all this that we hardly notice it. But isn’t it extraordinary? Almost everyone wants one thing, and almost everyone who represents us – whether in politics or the media – wants the opposite. Yet we tell ourselves we live in a democracy.

The Free Speech Union commissioned a "security" report on us, so we tested their security. Turns out - it sucks.

We've now published the names of everyone who has donated to a FSU fundraiser, along with how much they gave and to which campaign.

i actually wish I could summon up some disappointment, but let's face it, a pathetic capitulation was absolutely inevitable and we all knew it.

The image is an illustration set against a bright blue background with the text "IF YOU DON'T RECOGNISE THIS PLACE, YOU ARE NOT A VEGAN." It depicts a small tropical island with three palm trees, under which a man with a beard and long hair, wearing a tattered orange garment, is sitting next to a pink pig. There's a wooden sign with "SOS" written on it, and a coconut with a straw next to a wooden mug. The URL "www.herbivore.club" is at the bottom.

"Debunking veganism" is such a bizarre concept. How do you even "debunk" the idea that we shouldn't exploit and harm animals for no reason?

Note especially the Daily Record, with their "oh that poor mum 😒" front page. Here's a fun memory: when I was a kid, a little gay boy who needed support, they were backing the evil, homophobic Keep the Clause campaign. You know they've never apologised for that? Plus ça change, apparently.
