Chris Till @christill.org · 5hAnd with the key Holborn & St. Pancras by-election… tomorrow is it? How about that? Incredible coincidence. 010
Chris Till @christill.org · 5hWow, what a coincidence. The Labour leader of Brighton City Council who own the Brighton Centre decides that the Greens are against inclusion; in a way which creates further negative headlines about the Green Party. Greens face conference centre ban over Zionism motion www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...bbc.co.ukGreens could face Brighton Centre ban over Zionism motionBrighton & Hove City Council says the motion is not compatible with its inclusion commitments. 000
Chris Till @christill.org · 06/10/2026Of course the European Greens distanced themselves from the policy; because they’re already distant on every policy area from the E&W Green Party. They’re nothing alike at all.

Chris Till @christill.org · 05/10/2026Pedro Sanchez called a snap election last time too I think, and won.

The best outcome would be if the left of Sanchez… 100
Chris Till @christill.org · 05/10/2026How stupid do you have to be as a country to elect the mini-me of a guy now serving a 27 year jail sentence for a coup attempt after he lost the previous election (after a fascist reign)?

Chris Till @christill.org · 04/10/2026The BBC were really quick to report this one funnily enough. Usually they’re pretty lax when it comes to speedy reporting about the Greens. But I don’t care.

Zack spent ages in his speech talking about the environment. This whole Sky News segment is insane bringing up croissants and Gaza cola breakfast, language… 100
Chris Till @christill.org · 04/10/2026Watching Jenny Jones being interviewed on Sky really emphasises how much of a mistake it was for Zack to not reiterate last year’s statement that Greens aim to replace Labour. By not doing that; they’ve opened themselves up to mainstream media questioning about a perceived reduction of ambition. 100
Chris Till @christill.org · 02/10/2026I quite like how Sky seemingly inadvertently allowed a lot of really good, reasonable commentary from Green councillors in this otherwise absurd, sensationalist, nonsense video.

Chris Till @christill.org · 02/10/2026Watching some clips on Instagram of the big moments of the speech, I remember there were a lot of them. The Palestine part was one that stood out. I guess there were a lot of moments; but perhaps none the mainstream media would default to playing on repeat for the rest of the day like last year. 000
Chris Till @christill.org · 02/10/2026Thinking about it a bit more; I think Zack Polanski probably should have been clear that the Greens are still out to replace Labour; and the fact that Labour are being pushed left by the Greens is a sign that they’re going to replace them in time. Not, as the MSM are reporting, that they want… 231

Chris Till @christill.org · 01/10/2026Firstly, all death sentences are wrong and inhumane, and should be stopped forever.

Chris Till @christill.org · 29/09/2026Burnham had the gall to say he gave voters / viewers honesty. That’s a crazy thing to say given he just offered literal “sticking plaster politics”. The thing they always say they want to avoid but never do (except the Greens, and Labour under Corbyn). At least in my life. 220

Chris Till @christill.org · 29/09/2026I think it’s interesting that Burnham talks about a sort of “National Care Service” as being his own personal pet project because the current / older system bit his own family hard. It’s like all the right wingers. They only care if it impacts them personally. They only have fake empathy otherwise. 200

Chris Till @christill.org · 29/09/2026It was quite striking how Burnham made a point to say he was enjoying being PM because of what he can do for people. Not because of the status. Sounds exactly like something Zack Polanski would say. It makes me wonder if he actually means that, or if he’s been told to say that by advisors… 310

Otherwise, it’d need a majority government. 000
