The video opens with some white cliffs and a politician standing on a beach. This isn't Dover, and it's not Nigel Farage (although the echoes with Reform UK are deliberate). Rather, it's a campaign video for the Green Party's leadership hopeful, Zack Polanski.
Amid slick filming and a moody orchestral soundtrack, he delivers an animated and uncompromising message.
Small boats, he declares, are an "obsession that has gripped the country," blamed for a "crumbling" NHS and "obscene" rents, while people are told there's no money left.
"Well," he says, looking into the camera, "I call B.S."
The real problem, he continues, are the "super-rich and their yachts".
Zack Polanski, a former actor who is the party's deputy leader, has turbo-charged the race The Green Party is on the brink of choosing its new leader. It usually does it once every two years and the contest can go fairly unnoticed.
Not this year.
Polanski, a former actor who is the party's deputy leader, has turbo-charged the race, the result of which will be announced on 2 September.

I thought the blue hair and nose ring was them telling us they’re angry.
Green Party indeed.
Green in name only.
Watermelon Greens. Green on the outside, Communist red on the inside.
When you come to a crossroads, take it.
Invest in pink and blue hair dyes.
They’ve been angry since they were born.
The only thing the Greens need to be angry about is dedicating their lives to a lie.
Turns out it's easy being green after all.
But it makes them feel superior to the rest of us.
It seems to me the Green Party should love billionaires, because no on in our society pushes for dramatics responses to climate change like billionaires. Am I wrong? They also seem the most devoted to bringing socialism.
Green with envy.
Yes. My wife loves nature and she started seeing through the scam of these environmental groups over 25 years ago. They purport to be for the environment, but then they want to fill the country up to maximum density with Third World immigrants.
Please no. I’m sick of all this faux outrage.
People need to get a grip and learn to live with not getting their own way all the time.
Where is the video?
,,, if he couldn’t make it acting, the Greens are the next rung down on the ladder for him. Cleaners, truck drivers, office workers and everyone else who aren’t challenged by commonsense and basic economics are voting for Farage.
They want small boats banned...? Sorry, not happening here. In the UK, they might accept it, though the marine industries in the UK is big.
