How did you guess?

Polling which shows reform are doing much worse with younger voters that national average

BBC headline which states 'young people are getting a raw deal and that's good for Greens and reform'.

BBC journalists keep on writing articles which play up reform's support from young voters with literally no statistical basis and that's good news for reform

You're clearly correct that British Jews don't support the Greens despite their policy on Israel, but it doesn't necessarily follow that they are voting Green because of Israel policy. Jewish opponents of Zionism are likely to be left wing in general and might not vote primarily on Israel/Pal.

Thankyou for having me!

Stephen Pollard misses the point. Farage's schoolboy antisemitism and fascism would be insignificant if he repudiated it, or if he felt contrition. But instead he lies about them in the face of overwhelming evidence or hides behind 'banter'. It's significant because he's still that schoolboy.

'urged to explain'?? Should be 'called out', 'criticised' or even 'causes outrage'.

The explanation is quite simple - he's a bigoted antisemite who thinks nothing of voicing these once-unconscionable views to whip up support, knowing he won't get any pushback from the 'establishment' 🤷🏻‍♀️

this week's newsletter is titled "aren't you tired of feeling insane all the time?" and I think it speaks for itself

Amazing! Thanks so much!

@jprdata.bsky.social when's the full report published?

I say this as an expert in Jewish history, someone who has written about Holocaust memory, someone who has worked at HMD every year in the last 6:

There is no point in holocaust memorial culture if the taboo against comparison is so strong we can't learn from this history.

As a member of the Green Party's policy development committee I want to congratulate Darren and the Labour Party for having some extremely well worked out and deliverable policies like 'make the country gradually worse' and 'xenophobia'.

If only the Greens could be so practical!

Massive congratulation to legendary Africanist political theorist Mahmood Mandami. I believe his son won some sort of election

David Miller sharing David Clews of UNN / Patriotic Alternative again. One of the chief spreaders of hate and lies about Southport.

I want to vote Labour. I really do. They are my people. I prevaricate over basic moral issues every week. But the fact is that under the current electoral system voting Labour would let Reform in. That's why I'm voting tactically Green, like I've done at every election the past 10 years

Jenrick's comment on the burqa are just the latest in an ever-lengthening list of rage-bait statements from the Conservative front-bench aimed at fostering racist divisions in our communities.

What women decide to wear is for women to decide – not this or any other man.

If Lam's immigration plan was applied to the 1930s - not only would she set strict limits on Jewish refugees, condemning hundreds of thousands to death (as Britain actually did) but she would seek to deport Jews who settled in Britain.

It should be taboo to state that voluntary organisations that you are part of should do something if you are not prepared to take any part in making it happen.

Fellow Greens - please do sign the below.
We didn't have time to debate this emergency motion - on the Yom Kippur murders at a synagogue in Manchester and the arson attach at a mosque in Peacehaven - and I really wish we had.

I wrote this initially about a week before conference. At that time Green Party membership was 72,000. I am now hearing that it's 92000.

This is my neck of the woods. There’s now a gofundme to raise money for the mosque in Peacehaven

I just chucked a fiver their way. Maybe others can do the same? gofund.me/4a015baea

This @zackpolanski.bsky.social guy sounds terrible. I've heard people want to hear what he's got to say

Delighted to give @radixuk.bsky.social a preview of some of the big issues that we're going to be thinking about at Green Party conference today.

Great news about Dr Atkinson's excellent thesis — now available to read open access!

Our government must place real material pressure on Israel:

Delighted to see that @martinabrams.bsky.social has joined the Greens. We're clearly now the natural political home of the Jewish left!

Universities ‘poisoning student minds’, says Farage Populist leader takes aim at higher education in speech on first day of the Reform UK conference in Birmingham

I am someone who teaches colonial history and the history of race and have an explicitly left wing perspective on this. Even if I wanted to be - I am not indoctrinating my students. They are already leftists because of society outside of the classroom

Huge thanks to everyone who voted for me in the @greenparty.org.uk Executive elections!

Thrilled to carry out another term in the role of Local Party Support Coordinator. It's time to build a movement to stop Farage! ✊

This is the Green party’s moment – not Farage’s. As leader, I’ll offer real solutions to Britain’s problems | Zack Polanski For too long, the richest in this country have accumulated wealth at the expense of the poorest. It can’t go on like this, says Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party
