OK... I'm going to pitch in on the new #Carrie It's good...and bad! Let's look at the bad: - It is never going to top the original. - It is clearly a set up for many more "Carrie On" seasons. - It seems to be OK, (according to Emaline), with the massacre of 200 school kids.

Great article from George Monbiot. Mob fucking rule? The Labour/Tory power-sharing cartel, are in it for themselves - and no longer believe in democracy. #PalantirOut #VoteGreen www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Palantir is worming its way into the British state – it’s time to curb this controversial US company’s influence | George Monbiot
Tom Watson has said ‘mob rule’ must not decide public contracts. Perhaps he should take a look at his new employer, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

When the former Labour deputy leader refers to democracy as "mob rule", we need to understand: - The Labour/Tory power-sharing cartel, no longer believe in democracy. - We have them rattled - and need to keep the pressure on. #PalantirOut #VoteGreen

Yes, sample size is too small. Also, if you poll 133 people, you can't ignore a section of them. e.g.: I hate Marmite. You've never tried it, so don't know. Using the above methodology, 100% of people hate Marmite.

Steve H. @chazzstock.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
But that does skew the numbers. i.e.: It's cherry picking! 74 out of 133 Green voters support it. That's 56%.

I'd be interested to see the source/raw data for that. Because I can't find anything that looks close. Looking at raw data from the latest poll from Optium, the numbers are 56% for, 13% against, from a poll of 133 Green voters.

I am not a mathematician but I am pretty sure that the 12,292 votes they got yesterday is not as many as the 18,884 they got in 2024. If I am right and the 2026 number is *smaller* than the 2024 number then in what meaningful sense is this ‘winning back’, pls?

UK water companies made £340m by pouring billions of litres of industrial/commercial wastewater into sewage treatment works. Treatment works are not designed to remove most chemicals, leaving pollutants to pass into rivers, seas and farmland. Investment neglected. Practices are mostly unregulated.

It's not just the endless bill increases. It's not just that 1/3 of your bill goes to paying shareholder dividends and servicing debt. It's not just the 1/2 million sewage discharges in one year. It's the corrupt system, which rewards water bosses for failure, that people can't stand.

You, obviously don't know how The Green Party works. The membership, (not the leadership), decide which motions go to conference - and which are adopted. Yes, it was self-sabotaging, and damaged Zack's campaign. But that's not a leadership issue.

Andy Burnham has said he wants to reverse Thatcher’s 40 year legacy of privatisation. Now is the time for him to seize the moment, anchored by a set of principles that are uncompromising enough to make a difference to people's lives. Our new report sets out how to do it. vist.ly/5mh3j
"“If water companies cannot invest without raising our bills, they should be allowed to go bust and then taken into public ownership. The public has had enough of the rising bills, service cuts, hosepipe bans and sewage dumping. It is time for water to be taken into public ownership like 90% of the world.”

The demand for a one state solution is presumptive nonsense, and it will do zero to help the Palestinians. I'd like more Green Party members & MPs. This fucks up the chances of that. And has fucked Zack's chances in Holborn and St Pancras.

Your whole piece is a straw man argument. The Greens already call Israel's actions genocide & ethnic cleansing. The problem I (a Green Party member & Muslim) have, is the motion is naive political posturing, and will damage the party.
