The idea of greens ever becoming the 3rd largest party in the U.K seemed farfetched for so long, but now we are literally counting down the days until they become the single largest party. #ukpolitics #greenparty #greens

Labour is copying the Danish Centre Left party's policy of xenophobia and blame, they will get the same result as their traditional vote goes Green like they've done in Denmark.

We reject your petty xenophobia, we put the blame for (*gestures to things) this on the Rich...and the cowards in politics who do their bidding.

Could the Greens take London in the next election?

They will if Labour carries on down the Trump path...

The position of lord mayor, it was announced, will be held by Sisse Marie
Welling from the Green Left (Socialistisk Folkeparti, known as SF), which
won 17.9% of the vote. “We have written history at city hall,” she said. The
Red-Green Alliance (Enhedslisten) remained the capital’s biggest party with
22.1% of the vote. — The position of lord mayor, it was announced, will be held by Sisse Marie Welling from the Green Left (Socialistisk Folkeparti, known as SF), which won 17.9% of the vote. “We have written history at city hall,” she said.

@loren
My local green Party has a draft social media policy for discussion. It is very good but didn't include Mastodon so I have politely asked them to consider it's inclusion. We'll see what happens.
I explained that there were some local Green Parties with accounts.

CBC reporting that Elizabeth May has said she will be voting for the budget tonight. Which means the Liberals only need one more vote for it to pass, or for two MPs to abstain.

Seems unlikely we will have an election from this budget vote... but you never know!

Today has been like when he delivered that appalling 'Island of Strangers' speech which he apparently now regrets but the damage has been done

We're sick of you Keir, sick of your weakness and cowardice.

But MPs said there were in particular widespread concerns about "morally
bankrupt" moves to ramp up the deportation of families - which in practice
would mean increased detention of children before removal.
"I didn't fight an election as a Labour MP to bundle distressed children on to
deportation flights," one MP said. Another MP in a Green-facing seat said
they were facing an enormous backlash on social media. "It's all terrible.
Straight out of the far-right playbook. Lots of colleagues feel the same," said
a third. — But MPs said there were in particular widespread concerns about "morally bankrupt" moves to ramp up the deportation of families - which in practice would mean increased detention of children before removal.

"Despite the left surge in the Green Party [E&W], it remains committed to Nato and to its war in Ukraine."
This is a problem for me as a GP member.

Great interview with actor Russell Tovey..

"He has little faith in Labour stopping them and recently joined the Green party. “Their slogan – make hope normal again – is what we need,” he says. “It’s like Harvey Milk saying, ‘You’ve got to give them hope.’ We have to have hope. We’re on this really horrific curve but we will come out the other side eventually. We’ve just got to ride this out.”
