You do realise the Green’s are a laughing stock but stay in your imaginary world and end up with 8 seats at the next GE.

There’s plenty of water to flow under that bridge. I don’t think Reform will get anywhere near projected numbers so the chances of Reform/Tory is minimal. But things can change we live in volatile times. The point is the Green’s have a lot to do to win back confidence of voters.

I think to be fair he is sending a message to the Greens.

The response from many seems to be ‘what if the Russians influenced the referendum it didn’t change the result’ surely the wrong conclusion?

The thin spread of Reform makes it susceptible to losing votes especially tactically. But look at what Kellner says about local elections, Reform are losing regularly. Until Reform can publish a sensible & credible manifesto that deals with economic issues it will never have a say in government.

Could you now play a clip of Burnham praising Badenoch & ask how that affects their views?

Jim Johnson @jamesmcneile.bsky.social · 19h

Getting a positive spin in the right-wing papers does help especially now that they realise Burnham is a serious player. It also looks as if the papers have decided to go all in on a Badenoch Tory party, although I guess they’ll still dabble with Farage to keep the Tories as far right as they can?

So many footballers, particularly British sound like they’ve been brain-washed through the academy process and act like automatons, Rohl comes across as a well-rounded & grounded young man. We have some good characters in this squad, Jack, KDH, Hackney etc

Chelsea gained in a similar way to City except their riches came from laundered money but also as Panorama have now highlighted from misappropriating gain through tax fiddles. As that now runs into the period when rules existed will the Premier League review Chelsea’s position?

Everton fans suffered for several seasons because of ownership incompetence. Chelsea fans are the luckiest fans on earth the recent Panorama reveal shows just how much the owner’s wealth was based on corruption & that #CFC grew into a world football giant on the back of it. The £10m fine was a joke.

"The agency is small, with about 80 staff and a budget of around 150 million Swedish Krona (£11.3 million). In wartime, its job is to stop an enemy breaking down the nation’s will to resist. In peacetime, its director, Magnus Hjort, says the agency’s main aim is strengthening public preparedness."

What Andy Burnham can learn from Sweden about defending against Russian disinformation

Sweden’s ‘psychological defence’ approach sees an informed public as a key protection against foreign manipulation.

It also got a response from Badenoch who mirrored Farage but Farage’s dalliance with Russian TV allied to Johnson’s links to the Lebedev’s leaves the right exposed and the majority of UK voters see Putin and Russia as an evil force.

It was disconcerting to hear ‘it wouldn’t have changed the result’ as if they then had to backtrack in a Starmerish way in case they upset red wall Labour voters!

We’re back to Mykelenko isn’t an offensive LB and Jack isn’t great chasing back. More variety needed for sure.

Jim Johnson @jamesmcneile.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

He did his usual taking defenders out of the game & stretching their defence & created a clear chance for Barry. Our play down each wing requires a supporting full-back & Branthwaite couldn’t do that. Garner or AMN could have played LB. Jack doesn’t get into shooting positions enough for me.

Jim Johnson @jamesmcneile.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

We look like it’s a pre-season game with a sharpness lacking. KDH still off the pace and the transition from defence to attack isn’t quick enough. Their central defenders have an easy time as just Barry to handle and neither Grealish or Johnson look a goal threat.

Well Kerr it doesn’t cut through that’s all I can say and if voters don’t get it you can point to manifesto’s all you want. On here Green supporters just want to talk about Palestine.

Jim Johnson @jamesmcneile.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Well I don’t disagree Kerr but for the last couple of years the only show in town was Free Palestine. I haven’t heard or seen much on the environment during this hot summer. From the outside as a political party the Greens are a shambles.

Jim Johnson @jamesmcneile.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

#Everton #Glendenning infamously forecast #EFC would get relegated last season but he has a neat way of reminding everyone as to how underwhelming he finds our club! I’m surprised he doesn’t blame us for #City’s misdeamenours!

Of course they do but if the main thrust of a party is one issue so that it is identified by that one issue don’t be surprised that people don’t vote for you! The name is on the tin ‘Greens’ not ‘Free Palestine’.

Kemi Badenoch’s inheritance tax proposals are myth-based policy making at its worst. That's the verdict from @jillongovt.bsky.social following the leader of the opposition’s conference speech this week. Read the full comment here: www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/kemi...

The leader of the opposition’s conference announcement was not well thought through.

She obviously thinks until Andy Burnham comes on your show she is too important! The print media are symptomatic of how unreal our politics is, they bayed for Brexit got it, got Johnson who they venerated, fell for Truss & yet they would go through happily the same process again.

Nor is it likely to impress voters who the Greens need but the anti-Zionist policy is the death knell.

Jim Johnson @jamesmcneile.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

As an observer and someone who might have been tempted to vote Green the way the Greens present themselves is as a party of anti-Zionism and have decided to forego series environmental concerns. Polanski comes across as pretty hopeless certainly not fit to lead a party that aspires to Government.

Her ability to hold to two different accounts of anything and deny vehemently that she does is quite something.

Are the Greens a party of the environment or are they a pressure group against Zionism?

To what extent did people vote Green for environmental issues or opposition to Zionism? How many postal votes were made before the Greens conference?
