The Green Party got more from membership fees than from donations in the 2025 reporting year - £3,733,169.00 as opposed to £2,755,419.00.

Per Electoral Commission site

Still small budget compared to the major parties isn't it?

However maybe they can afford to provide Zippy with dental care after all so that is good.

To be fair currently they don't have particularly big donations compared with the major parties. So just providing a dental plan for Zippy would bankrupt them.

I hope they go bankrupt.

The assault takes the same form as the campaign mounted against Corbyn during his leadership of the Labour Party between 2015 and 2020

Yeah, because it's the same fucking antisemites, they've just moved party.

Except Corbyn who moved to a different party by accident and is now sat on his own looking over enviously at the antisemitism row going on in the other party that should have been his. How embarrassing.

Neverstopwondering · 14/10/2026 14:41

Zack Polanski should take it as a compliment that he and the Green Party are getting the Jeremy Corbyn treatment. It means that the British establishment sees them as a threat. He needs not to buckle in the face of this pressure.

The assault takes the same form as the campaign mounted against Corbyn during his leadership of the Labour Party between 2015 and 2020—on the one hand, a frenzied media assault, on the other, attacks from within by the right wing of the party, all centring on the libel that their target is an antisemite.

They are still not over it are they, Oh Jeremy 😂

An ok photo of Zippy actually, normal they pick one with his teeth taking centre stage

Maybe someone felt sorry for him and picked a more flattering photo after seeing the article they were about to release

The party has dropped to 9 percentage points, down from 16 points in May. The proportion of young people – those aged from 18 to 34 – planning to vote Green has halved over the past five months, from 28% at the time of the local elections in May to 14% now.

Polanski’s approval rating has plunged by seven points, making him the most unpopular of the party leaders.

Only 17% of voters think he is doing a good job and just 14% believe he represents what most people think.

According to the poll, 42% of the electorate believe the Greens have a problem with antisemitism.

Yay

The 42% bit is a little not good but a lot of people don't understand antisemitism. It doesn't mean they are ignoring Jew hate, it just means they need more education about antisemitism

He hasn't even bothered with the revolution. He's a Trust Fund baby like so many ' communists'. Their lives have been too easy and sheltered from the realities of many.

This exactly.

I love that his communist principles about equality supposedly for all, haven't stopped him accepting the money and using it to buy political influence and give a financial advantage to causes he personally favours, to the detriment of others.

His favouritism sounds no different from the sort of capitalists he and his ilk would despise

What a bloody hypocrite when communism preaches the abolition of private capital, class privilege, and the influence of wealth in public life yet he is using private economic power ro do exactly the same!

BIossomtoes · 13/10/2026 12:56

it's in the Telegraph and strangely not on the BBC or Guardian.

I wonder why? 🤔

The Greens have totally lost the plot and have become by far the biggest racist and intollerant bunch of bigots, despite calling everyone else that.

"Communist millionaire". I mean, he's not, is he? Like, he's last page of Animal Farm.

Twiglets1 · 13/10/2026 04:30

He did.

Maybe Animal Farm should be compulsory reading. Though like Adrian Mole, some of the posters we argue with would just see it as a book simply about animals on a farm.

Probably then insist on focusing only on animal rights and the meat industry

First rule of MN, you can get away with antisemitism, but you can't call it out!

Be careful LHF.

I know there are people who just love to report my posts the minute I’m less than polite. Seems like you have a fan club too…

Quite a few posts of mine are being deleted. If only the antisemitic ones were treated the same.

Just seen that Owen Jones helped zippy campaign

No wonder he lost, OJ did the same for one of our local candidates a while back. They lost too.

He is obviously the right person to have on your side whilst trying to convince the public you are a normal person that will understand the concerns of the general public 🙃

Think most people will take one look realise who is endorsing you and vote for someone else.
