Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 09/10/2026You're suggesting it's possible that if they stick with Polanski, the Greens might only come a close second in the next general election, and be forced to form the official opposition instead of the government? Huge if true. 100
Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Today I learned that the Scottish Greens have defined Zionism as racism for the past eleven years, with seemingly much less controversy than GPEW is experiencing. 000

Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm aware you are replying to a lot of people and I don't want to come across as part of a pile-up, but the arguments I have seen against the motion still (all) resolutely rejected Zionism and (almost all) expressly said it is indeed racism. Caroline Lucas' for instance. 100
Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think both sides of the debate within the Green Party agreed that Zionism is racism - the argument was over whether the need to actually call that out outweighs that potential hurt to the party. 100

Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It might have been possible to craft a motion that passed unanimously (and opponents of the motion don't seem to have disagreed with the proposition that Zionism is racism, just whether you can say that). But do you really think the external reaction to any such motion would have differed? 010
Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I don't think it's ironic at all. Not just Likud but almost the whole of Israeli politics being implacably opposed to Palestinian statehood, is a one of the things that has so profoundly delegitimised Israel and made ZIR a mainstream view. The 2019 election was a key turning point. 000
Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It is through purges that you take power. Corbyn never really had power in Labour because he wouldn't purge. Look at John Ashworth remaining on the NEC, or how long McNicol clung on as General Secretary. Starmer won real power by almost immediately purging anyone insufficiently loyal. 000
Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Increasingly feels like all politics is now each side accusing the other of racism. 000
Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Curious phrasing. People who are worried it is illegal are looking at taking legal action? 010

Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I think a Labour for Trans Rights presence makes perfect sense, because it is a focused pressure group and so would counter LWD. But as a broader-based org and an official affiliate, LGBT+ Labour would send a much more powerful message by joining the boycott. 110
Gregg @gcgsmith.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The EA was passed by Labour under Gordon Brown, and became law before 2010 election And Labour today could pass a one-line Bill overturning the Supreme Court's 2025 interpretation of the EA (to restore the original intent and the reading of the Act by the EHRC and successive govts until 2025). 131
