It's not just RacistUK with the dodgy social media track record

A newly elected Lambeth councillor was suspended from the Green Party after she allegedly made a series of antisemitic social media posts.

Saiqa Ali, 56, was elected as one of 29 Green Party councillors in the south London borough on 7 May.

However, the Lambeth Green Party has since said Ali was suspended at the time of the election and would have to either sit as an independent councillor or join a different group...

Zack’s paying up the Council Tax he didn’t pay, likely about £4,000. There’ll be a fine of £70 too, which seems incredibly lenient. The bank interest on that money will have paid for that. Didn’t Rayner have to resign for a mistake like this?

If you ever feel like punching yourself in the face, spend some time arguing with some Zack fans on Bluesky. He didn’t have to pay, trust me bro, was the more credible end of it.

I saw the Plankski fans.

Different shade of Farage.

They don't realize it at all.

Remember The Express and co going after people who had mild disagreements with Sunak or Johnson on hospital visits? One of them was going after Dan Neidle because he'd donated to Luke Akehurst. Nothing on the substance of the point. I pointed out Dan had called out Tice, Zahawi, Rayner and strongly criticized aspects of Reeves' Budgets. Yeah, but he donated to Luke Akehurst, so I'm ignoring it. Like Nigel Tufnell saying "Yeah but this one goes up to 11".

Funny thing is that the council to which Polanski owes about £4,000 is Hackney. The Greens now control Hackney. I'm sure straight talking populists that they are, they'll be issuing a statement about "zero tolerance" of non payment of tax due, right? More than that, the impression created in the Bluesky discussion was that people on boats not paying the correct council tax may not be uncommon. They'll therefore be relishing this opportunity to go and collect more tax to fund better services, right?

Iesu, the 'boat people' jokes write themselves, don't they?
