sex matters trustee charlotte cadden

gorton and denton by-election result: she gets 706 votes, 1.9% of the total

underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit

People power led the Greens to victory in Gorton and Denton The party’s historic byelection win was earned by listening to voters, not ignoring them, as Labour has done

The Green Party took on the billionaire donors.

And won.

Some of my thoughts 👇🏼

The US and Israel have contempt for international law. How futile to ask them to explain how their actions align with it.

It's urgent that the FM now answers the Scottish Greens' demand to block Trump's forces from using assets owned by the Scottish Government, like Prestwick airport.

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.

The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

Scottish Greens condemn US attacks on Iran Scottish Greens condemn US attacks on Iran - Donald Trump is acting like a gangster on the world stage.

Once again, Trump has shown total contempt for human rights, international law and negotiations.

Our hopes are for the safety of the Iranian people, who now have to fear both their own government's violence and that coming from Trump and Netanyahu.

Well, colour me shocked.

As ever, I don't imagine myself representative of anyone but me. But if I'd had a vote in Gorton I'd have agonised, then done whatever felt most likely to stop Goodwin. After Starmer and Mahmoud's responses I now feel quite motivated to vote *against* Labour?

Naz Shah MP on Gorton and Denton Claims: ‘How Do Supposedly “Sectarian Muslims” End Up Voting for a Radically Progressive Party with a Gay Jewish Leader?’ The Labour MP told Byline Times that, from her experience of 'clan-based politics', it was not present in the Manchester by-election as Reform UK claims

Naz Shah has been a fierce critic of Biraderi clan networks & fought Galloway in Bradford

There are important distinctions to be made about what is "sectarian", what is improper influence, and what is voter dissatisfaction - & indeed more split views by generation

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

🚨Big night for the Greens in England and big news for the Scottish Greens today

New poll from the Scottish Election Study finds they're set to overtake Scottish Labour in the election (pushing them into FOURTH)

SNP set for 57 seats, Reform on 22, Greens on 16, Labour on 15

🤣

Opposing genocide is not divisive.

Taxing the super-rich is not divisive.

Welcoming refugees is not divisive.

If Starmer just doesn't know or care what progressive voters want, he will learn in May.

There's never been a better time to join!

It’s worth returning to Monday here, to remind ourselves that the commentariat seemed genuinely astonished and deeply alarmed to discover the public are more upset about facilitating crimes against humanity than they are about the pundits’ forever war upon transgender people in toilets

It’s a running joke in academia that Matt Goodwin is bad at maths.

This sort of thing is why: the combined Labour/Green vote could have split in any way possible and Goodwin would have finished 2nd or 3rd. He did not lose because progressives coordinated. He lost *in spite of them not doing so*.

Join the Scottish Greens Join the Scottish Greens today and be part of our growing movement. Why should I join?  We are always told that the system is broken, but it’s not. It’s rigged. It's rigged in favour of corporations, ...

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe
