Phenomenal scenes as the King's Guard appears to play Murray Gold's Cyberman theme from Doctor Who as Keir Starmer arrives at Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation as prime minster. Emotionless, authoritarian and cruel, Keir Starmer's premiership is finally over.

I note with interest that the only portfolios that are CabSecs in ScotGov but the Greens have demoted to "spokesperson" are housing, Gàidhlig, care and - shock horror - local government. They kept CabSec for Public Service "Reform" [read: cuts] though. They do have plenty of experience with those.

This one is spectacular. It is essentially arguing that it is more important to protect bigots from being called bigots than it is to protect their victims from their bigotry.

The new EHRC guidance is state-mandated segregationism. Even where so-called "third spaces" exist, it's clear that forcing trans people to out themselves by using them will significantly harm their ability to participate in public life. That's genocidal. The Labour party must never be forgiven.

Refusing to pay reparations for British complicity in slavery is bad enough, but to punish citizens of those states speaking truth and seeking justice is abhorrently racist. These snowflakes are fucking terrified of free speech. I think we all know whose side Reform would've been on 300 years ago.

Trump today threatened genocide on the people of Iran, as Israel bombed civilian infrastructure. Yet it's silence from Keir Starmer as he continues to lick the boots of both Trump and "Israel", while our head of state Charles Mountbatten-Windsor plans a state visit to the genocidal US this year.

Never forget - SNP MPs were not among those 22. They abstained and in doing so stood idly by, opening the door for mass arrests of those peacefully protesting against genocide.

It is absurd - but characteristic of the deeply authoritarian British state - that a proscription which has been ruled to be unlawful continues to remain in place. If I were to say "I support Palestine Action" I could still be thrown in jail despite the ban being unlawful. It must not be enforced.

Anas Sarwar is right. But he should be following Starmer straight out the door. He's licked the boots of his right-wing genocidal boss in London at every opportunity until now, and this act of political opportunism won't save him from utter defeat in Holyrood this May.

It is notable how even Labour's own MPs know that they're all so unlikable, incompetent and unpopular that not a single one of the current crop could take on the most unpopular prime minister in the history of the country. The Labour rot runs deep.

A message from me. yourparty.uk/join
Today, I'm announcing that I have joined the currently named Your Party, and I'm resigning my membership, and therefore Scottish Parliamentary candidacy, of the Scottish Green Party.

My reasons for leaving the Greens are many in number, but fundamentally I have joined Your Party because I recognise that the future of our country is at stake, and this new project is the only vehicle which can keep Nigel Farage out of 10 Downing Street and build a socialist, independent Scotland.None of the existing Holyrood parties can be taken seriously when it comes to the fight against austerity; every single one of them is complicit in passing on brutal cuts to public services and making the lives of the working classes worse. 

Your Party can be a huge mass movement which can take on the far right in our communities, our neighbourhoods, our workplaces. I'm excited to get stuck in, and although this move means I won't be standing for Holyrood next May, I'm excited to get campaigning to elect Your Party MSPs, MPs and councillors who will stand up for the working class.I'm so grateful to everyone who supported me during my time in the Greens, and my message to each and every one of you is simple: join me. I'm thrilled to be joining Your Party at the same time as three fantastic councillors in Dan, Leòdhas and Seonad, as well as countless activists who like me, recognise the huge potential this new party holds. Dan, Leòdhas and Seonad will keep fighting for their communities within the city chambers, and I can't wait to keep on supporting them. 

In solidarity,
Ellie

Green politics should be about materially opposing fascism, not just saying "I told you so" when Farage becomes PM. It's incumbent on Greens to take the fight directly to Reform - we know that it's both Green ideas and Green votes at the ballot box next year that can defeat the far-right.
