This is the work that needs to be done providing the backstories and the history to diverse audiences who through no fault of their own absorb myths from MSM.
Knocking people about their ignorance of nuances as if Palestinians made it to the front page of the NYT everyday.

Kumar is right. Corruption has been the driving force behind the privatisation of public assets. Negligence and price-gouging are essential to maximise returns for parasitic shareholders. Corrupting the Labour Party was the privatisers' winning move. I'll never tire of saying this - private interest-bearing moneylending was born as organised crime and corruption 4400 years ago. It continues as such.

Explaining the basics of Green Party economic policy against the fearmongering.
We’re not afraid of rich landlords leaving the sector because of rent controls. That’s good for people and the economy. We want to expand welfare because that’s good for people and the economy.

Burnham opposes water renationalisation. Only the Green Party supports bringing water back into public ownership.
Breaking down the economics of water privatisation and renationalisation:

Seriously brilliant 👌
Ashok Kumar retweeted
Burnham has been convinced by a broken Tsy model that water nationalisation is unaffordable within their fiscal rules (forgetting ideological commitment to privatisation).
The Green Party is the only party that recognises that, actually, water nationalisation is intrinsically..

If you’re UK-based join the Greens! I’ve never been a member of a political party before, but @comrade_kumar_ #ZionismIsRacism motion has pushed the Overton window toward proper talk for Palestine, and @ZackPolanski bravery has been astounding.

Might be the first time I've seen someone talking to Ashok who's actually willing to listen and learn the Greens' policy and POV without fear-mongering and yelling hysterically.

Palantir Labour has no interest in serving the people who elected them, just corporates, millionaire donors & lobbyists who paid for it
Only one party stands ready to fight the rigged establishment & take back control of our utilities & public services
Vote Green
