Bold Politics with Zack Polanski

0:00Nigel Farage has more TikTok followers than the rest of the MPs put together. If that's not a sign that this Labour government does not have a grip on media strategy, I don't know what is. I'm Zach Falansky. I'm elected the new leader of the Green Party. It's going to take a while to get used to saying that. And one of the initiatives I am launching right now is a new podcast. It's going to be weekly. I'm going to be talking to people right across the spectrum, people I agree with and also people I disagree with. We are going to be having bold conversations. It's going to be out on Wednesdays.

0:29Here's a quick clip of my first episode with the amazing Ash Sarkar. And how do you think parties on the left of the Green Party and whatever might appear should deal with the kind of question of vote for that party and you're going to get Nigel Farage? Because those Labour leaflets are probably already printing as we speak. No one likes being held hostage or being blackmailed. And I think people are sick of being told, don't do the thing you really want because you might get something worse. Because, I'm sorry, we've got a government which is diplomatically and politically and materially given cover to an ongoing genocide, a government which cannot seem to get to grips with the real material inequalities which are choking this country and choking the life and the sort of, you know, vibrancy out of this country.

1:22and a government which can't even get the most basic political calls right, like don't go for pensioners, they vote in big blocks. You know, you're telling me how terrible it's going to be. You're crap. You know, you seem to be going, we might be rubbish, but keep rewarding us with your vote. And I think people can see through it. People can see through it. So nothing in politics is cost free. Nothing in politics is cost free. But we know what happens if you keep voting Labour. You might hear me give that answer word for word, by the way, on the media, without a swearing. I'll be invoicing you.
