Labour membership:
~366k early 2024
~309k early 2025
below 250k early 2026

Almost a third ⬇️in one year

Green membership:
100k Oct β€˜25
200k now

Doubled in 5 months and set to overtake Labour.

Quadrupled in a year.

The party of multiplication not division. Of plus not minus. Of hope not hate.

SUZANNE MOORE Gender dysphoria is just a phase. Hilary Cass has proof

Suzanne Moore now needs to recycle the old β€œjust a phase” trope used by homophobic bigots in the 20th Century.

And relying on the totally discredited Cass Review for this drivel is utter desperation.

Spain built a 385.9 mile high speed train line from Madrid to Barcelona it cost Β£8.1bn.

The UK is still building a 140 mile high speed train line which will cost over Β£100bn.

Who is stealing all the money?

Dear Lucy

Three weeks ago you wrote me a bizarre letter in an attempt to hold on to voters who Labour have for too long taken for granted in Gorton and Denton. 

First, I’d like to give my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I've been busy on the ground with Hannah Spencer talking to voters about the issues that matter to them – lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services. 

You'll appreciate most of your letter is out of date now, but I'm sure you'll have seen the poll that came out today, that puts us in first place and Reform in second. Labour are a distant third and it’s now clearer than ever that your party cannot win in Gorton and Denton. 

If you are as concerned about stopping Reform as you proposed in your letter, the course is now clear: in the spirit in which you wrote to me, you should now urge your members and former voters to back Hannah Spencer on the 26th February to stop Reform and make hope normal again. 


Kind regards,



Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales 

P.S – Hannah looks forward to saying hi in Parliament!

Yet Iceland, despite being a smaller country can do this: "They have more patients and about half the staff of the NGS, yet in two years they eliminated their 700 person waiting list. They usually only need 30-45 minutes of assessment, and in their intensive weeks they’d start 30 people on HRT"

For my birthday this year I'm hoping to raise funds for @annehealthcare.bsky.social trans health care fundraiser. Any money donated goes directly to funding care for trans folk unable to fund it themselves.

Even a Β£ is worth giving...

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no β€˜misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Just to offer the counterpoint here, as I think it is very very important we do so: this is absolutely anticipatory obedience 101.
Much as university leaders might see it as their responsibility to β€œplan” for this possibility, in effect REF are getting to set the agenda without winning any election

Fucking wild that our society is so attuned to accepting bigotry now that a national newspaper like the Daily Express can somehow get away with publishing blatant libel with absolutely zero pushback or consequence.

Palantir is working with ICE.

Why the hell are we giving Palantir our NHS information.

Palantir need to be banned from UK Goverment, just like the Swiss banned them from theirs.

Because they posed a 'catastrophic' threat.
