Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 7mKeir Hardie was a coal miner before becoming an MP - I guess you think that makes him unfit to have led a "national party"? 110

Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 1hI don't agree that the Greens were "bullish" - they took a good shot at a safe Labour seat; they didn't win, but that doesn't mean we all give up and go home 110
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 1hThe local elections were five months ago and Labour ditched its toxically unpopular leader since then - let's not jump to conclusions 100
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 2hWere Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay still leading the party, they wouldn't even have been a contender in this by-election - the fact that they can now mount a serious challenge in a safe Labour seat is progress in itself 110

Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 2hI note you said four MPs - presumably you're omitting Hannah Spencer because, in your eyes, being a plumber makes her unqualified to be an MP 3160
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 2hYes, because if there is one thing the public love, its a "professional MP" 030
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 2hSo he has something of vested interest in spinning this as a catastrophe for the Greens 100
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 2hThe "national drop in popularity" was caused by the pervious incumbent of Holborn and st Pancras and Burnham has turned them from being irredeemably toxic into a tolerable "hold your nose to stop reform" option 000

Reposted by Number SixGift @giftmacher.bsky.social · 2hI mean, to be fair to the Greens, it really is the case that labour supporters want any excuse to back the party. All labour has to do is not tell them to fuck off quite so clearly. Until people stop endlessly, and naïvely, giving the benefit of the doubt we'll be here again and again. 261
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 2hLabour have held the constituency since it was created - it was never going to be a slam dunk 100
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 2hYes, doubling their vote share in a seat Labour has held sice 1983 is a "terrible result" 100
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 2hYes, indeed! We need a return to the days of that nice Caroline Lucas, when the Greens were a sensible, grown up party for liberals with expensive wellies who understood that the power of Capital can - and should - never be challenged, so stuck to campaigning for more recycling 082

Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 21hWould you call the genocide of 74,000 white people "performative politics"? 260
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 21hHe got 18.9% last time around against Starmer - Zack's on 35.6% He did well, but he doesn't have a party behind him - perhaps had Your Party not collapsed he could have taken another crack 000
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 22hAndrew Feinstein...who is not a member of the Green Party? 100
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 22hThe Lucas era Green Party was benign, something that the powers that be could tolerate because it wasn't a threat - that changed when Zack became leader, hence why the Jeromby Crumblins playbook has been dusted off and the old attack lines are being redeployed 100
Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I'm not a member, and I'm not fully convinced that Zack can maintain the momentum he's built; however, he's given the British left a much needed kick up the arse and turned the Greens into something that could potentially challenge the status quo, which Lucas did not 100
Reposted by Number SixPhil McDuff @mcduff.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Like. Let's put it this way. I can well believe there are ordinary members of the public who believe Zack Polanski is a worse threat to Jewish safety than Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Stephen Miller. But I don't think any of the people writing the articles to convince them of that really believe it. 0618

Number Six @iamnotabutt.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The cause was not pointless, but the Green Party was - having a single MP who occasionally appeared on Question Time to be outnumbered and shouted down by climate change deniers wasn't going to shift the Overton window 000
