| 0:00.0 | Oh my goodness. |
| 0:01.0 | Woo! |
| 0:02.0 | This is quite something. |
| 0:04.0 | The Green Party leader, Zach Polanski, appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain today. |
| 0:09.0 | The Goberzenters Ed Balls, a former long-standing Labour MP, a former Labour shadowed Chancellor, |
| 0:15.0 | no less, and the literal husband of the current Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, who is being touted as Kirstama's |
| 0:23.3 | replacement as Prime Minister. This is ridiculous. Let's be honest about it. I mean, wait till you see it. |
| 0:28.2 | But this is a completely absurd state of affairs. There should be a very strong demarcation |
| 0:34.2 | between elected politicians on the one hand and political reporting on the other, |
| 0:39.2 | by which I include political reporters and news presenters who were supposedly there to hold |
| 0:44.4 | our politicians to account. You'd be a crazy radical to believe this. It should just be a basic |
| 0:48.8 | principle in a democracy. Now, what happened today was explosive and Zach Polanski rightly stuck it to Ed Balls, and Ed Balls did not like it one bit, to say the least. Rattled is the understatement of the century. Ed Balls, I'm sure, would claim to be an objective news presenter. I mean, does he, actually? I've said that, and now I'm like, I'd love to hear him say it and argue his case. |
| 1:11.4 | In any case, in my view, that is total balls, as I'll show with the evidence, he is a Labour |
| 1:16.7 | factualist, by which I mean he's from a faction of the Labour Party, which absolutely |
| 1:21.7 | loathes the left with a passion. After I show you what happened today with Zach Blansky, |
| 1:26.3 | I'll show you the receipts, |
| 1:33.1 | more receipts, including when I was on the panel with Ed Balls, the last time I was everyone actually with Ed Balls, when he was presenting in November 23 towards the beginning of Israel's |
| 1:38.0 | genocide. That footage has not aged well for him. I mean, it was appalling at the time. You can see |
| 1:43.2 | his total lack of professionalism |
| 1:45.0 | on display. You can also see how he treated, as I'll show you, the left-ring former Labour MP |
| 1:50.0 | Zara Sultanah, absolutely extraordinary footage in a discussion about Islamophobia in which he treats |
| 1:56.3 | a female Muslim MP with absolute contempt. Let's just see how this interview, so-called interview |
