I feel bad for the conflicted Tories hate-watching it to see what provocative things they'd say, only to be met with the repeated 'Fuck Kier Starmer' chants.

I find the current situation in the Starmer government extraordinary. This article in the Guardian has a string of “advisers” openly criticising the government’s own backbench MPs — a quarter of whom are opposing a key bill. They were only elected last year www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“It just feels completely disconnected from material reality.”
Establishment politicians are so detached from our lives. Right now, politics is something that's done to us, not for us.
A strong, anti-capitalist Green Party can change that.

So true, we cannot let Adrian turn our party into the one issue party everyone thinks it is. Social justice and environmental justice are inextricably linked, you cannot have one without the other. Zack is the right person to lead our party and get this message out.
In reality the so-called 'Green Bubble' represents a faction of the @greenparty.org.uk - championed by supporters of Adrian Ramsay - that’s willing to sideline social justice, ignore the everyday struggles of ordinary people, and retreat into nimbyism and narrow, one-issue environmentalism
We’re not here to stay small. We’re here to win. Mark Redding’s right — it’s time for leadership that speaks to real people, not just the Green bubble. Let’s take this to the next level #TogetherWeWin

Lindsay Hoyle, the speaker of the House of Commons, has kept almost 300 gifts over the last four years including dozens of bottles of alcohol, hampers, ties, cufflinks and chocolates, his declarations show.
The speaker received a large volume of presents from foreign dignitaries such as ambassadors, MPs and sometimes companies and chose to keep hundreds of them rather than donating them to Speaker’s House – his residence and office – or parliament. Continue reading...
