The 2019 Labour manifesto included a pledge to "Ensure that the single-sex-based exemptions contained in the Equality Act 2010 are understood and fully enforced in service provision." Which was plainly a dog whistle for exactly what the EHRC is doing right now.

We were never that.
Don’t believe me? Read our 2015 General Election manifesto⬇️

Anyone claiming that the Green Party policy has become more radical since Polanski took over as leader is just revealing how little they know of the history of Green Party policy.

Want proof?
Read *any* General Election manifesto since at least 2015.

I’ve been a Green for over a decade - we absolutely have always been - see this from our 2015 GE manifesto.
(Pages 71-2).

The 2019 Labour Manifesto was derided by MSM despite being fully costed, and nowhere did it promise £37 billion for a useless phone app... ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/wmatrix/ukma...

People really should look at e.g. our 2015 General Election manifesto - the same principles, vision and (relative to the state of the world) policies then as now.

Long-standing Green Party policy - e.g. see page 42 of their 2015 General Election manifesto.

Exciting news: there'll be a wmatrix & PyMUSAS workshop at @cl2025.co.uk in Birmingham on 29th June run by me, @johnvidler.co.uk and Daisy Lal including discussions about open source software and #corpuslinguistics #CL2025

There's an explanation of the key differences (including much larger corpora & multilingual analysis in #wmatrix version 7) here: ucrel-wmatrix7.lancaster.ac.uk If you are a #wmatrix V5 user, then you should save your data and reload it into the new version. V5 is expected to be retired next month.

Having been a Green since 2013, we have always campaigned for a socially just and environmentally sustainable world - e.g. see our 2015 General Election manifesto.

Er, no - this is long-standing Green Party policy, e.g. from the 2015 General Election manifesto (page 7):
“Respect immigrants for the contribution they make and control immigration fairly.”
Zack is just really good at articulating Green Party policy.

History, geography, and stupidity.
If we’d invested in becoming truly energy secure say a decade ago, the headlines today would be very different.

Just catching up on social media now that I'm back in Japan. Lovely to see you at #CL2025 as always. Thank you for the great workshop, too. Congrats on the new release of #WMatrix.

Happy to confirm we’ve been passionate, intelligent and honest for a long while (I joined in 2013).

Imagine how much better the UK would be if we’d implemented their 2015 General Election manifesto.

Just listening now.
It’s amusing how little they know about our policy, principles, organisation, history.
E.g. you can draw a straight line from the policy programme embodied in the 2015 General Election manifesto to the message being communicated by Zack today.

Sure. The last time I was really involved in Green Party elections was 2015, where we produced a fully costed manifesto and included a commitment to free school meals. So fill your boots
