That does make sense. I'll have a proper look at some point, thank you. I still don't trust that a weakening stance on nuclear power won't be taken advantage of by bad actors or allow lies about 'base load' necessity to spread, but hopefully it's not as bad as the Guardian article suggests.

I'm just going by the Guardian article (which, admittedly, is not usually wise). You probably have a better understanding than me. I am always worried that these allowances can escalate once the hard line is revoked. I'm not sure who I'd trust to push back enough against nuclear power lobbyists.
Denyer said keeping existing nuclear stations running could be a low-carbon option because a significant proportion of their carbon footprint came from construction. “So if I were energy secretary, my evidence-based approach would be to keep existing nuclear plants in operation, but to consider proposals for new nuclear power very carefully, bearing in mind the cost, speed and environmental impacts.”

There is no such thing as a "Center-Right". There is no fascism light. These people are all the same once you pull the mask off. They'll hand power to open fascists if the alternative is helping the poor and marginalized and possibly inconveniencing the wealthy. Every single time.

I can see an argument for not prioritising closing nuclear plants over fossil plants. Climate collapse is here right now. But this motion goes further than that and even allows for the construction of new plants, as well as resurrecting nonsense discussions about 'nuclear baseload'. Really bad. 😟

Supremely disappointing. There is no way to safely store nuclear waste for thousands of years, and it's already being horrifically mismanaged. Future generations should not inherit this burden. There's no guarantee they'll even know where it's stored in 100 years, let alone a thousand.

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 10h
I don't agree. There is no way to make nuclear waste safe, and creating more of it leaves future generations with a burden they'll have to manage for thousands of years. Even now it's not being managed properly and is at constant risk of leaking into groundwater.

"Red tape" is there to keep us safe against the relentless profiteering of property developers. Remember the flammable cladding? It was nice and cheap. Good profit margin, and only a few peasants had to die screaming.

Yes, obviously. It's an ethnostate because it's segregated.

I see it quite a lot and it's really frustrating. Doesn't help that establishment media never covers our environmental positions because those positions are popular, and that scares them. But yeah, definitely some bad faith people about too.

The motion explicitly calls for 'equality for all' in the democratic state that's built. No one is being wiped out, relocated, purged, or anything like that. It's called a Palestinian state because it is in Palestine. It does not say that Israel should be ethnically cleansed.
020
Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It's condemning a philosophy that demands the perpetuation of a segregationist, expansionist ethnostate. The region doesn't have to be configured that way. Changing things doesn't have to involve wiping anyone out. Leaving it as it is, however, is wiping people out.

I guess you know more about the people voting than I do then. But even if they have bad motivation, they're correct on the subject of the motion.

Not saying your questions aren't important or that they shouldn't be addressed. But that's not what Caroline is worried about.

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Sure, but Lucas' criticisms that I was responding to aren't about that. She's talking about antisemitism and a lack of historical context. My point was that the party's unconditional condemnation of antisemitism already exists and is fully compatible with this motion.

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I'm talking about a perceived lack of attention to environmental issues, which was the question I was asked. I wasn't talking about the establishment of ethnostates.

I don't know how that can possibly be achieved given that Israel is in the process of assimilating Palestinian territories right now. Frankly, I don't know how either option can be done. But I think it is a mistake to believe a two state solution is any more possible than one, let alone desirable.

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I think you're correct that it's the media focus. Green Party policy is broadly popular with the electorate but not with established business interests, so it serves the interest of the media to focus on topics they believe are contentious.

If you get your information directly from the party I think you'll see a big difference. Most of the campaign emails I receive and a large chunk of the party's social media output is about climate and the environment.

This is going to blow up so badly, but it is the right thing to do. It's like transphobia in the party. We must clearly state that embracing trans liberation does not make cis people less safe. Quite the opposite. Likewise, condemning Zionism is not condemning Jews. Ethnostates harm everybody.

May I ask why? Because if so that's pretty unfortunate.

Situations like this do make me despair sometimes. The MSM are never going to reward us when we stand up for our principles, and it feels like self-sabotage. But I believe the alternative - letting principles slip for convenience - is a big part of why the last few decades have been so awful. 😟
020
Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I wasn't comparing like for like. Some people, like Caroline Lucas, are saying that Zionism is too complicated to be condemned in policy like this. I was just illustrating that policies do not exist in isolation even within the same subject area. That's why we have more than one.

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It necessarily requires the creation of an ethnostate, right? How is that not racism?

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
We have policy that deals with helping people replace gas boilers. That policy is really important to make sure vulnerable people don't suffer in the cold. Similarly, we have policy recognising and unilaterally condemning antisemitism. It's necessarily compatible with recognising Zionism as racism.
2151
Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
A lot of the negative response I've seen seems to be 'yes, Zionism is racism, but...' I just want to point out that this policy does not exist in isolation. None of the party policy does! As a parallel, we could say: 'Yes, fossil fuels are bad, but what about people with gas boilers?'

Zionism is not equivalent to 'self determination'.
020
Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
The Green Party approach to ending dependence on fossil fuels includes explicit requirements that everyone will be cared for & supplied with alternative means to live comfortably. Just as the Green Party is explicitly committed to ending both the inherent racism of Zionism as well as antisemitism.

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I don't agree that the motion oversimplifies things. We often talk about the need to immediately end dependence on fossil fuels. Nobody argues that fossil fuels are "dangerous and a response to danger" by arguing that gas is needed to stop people freezing in dangerously cold conditions.

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Good! It is racism.
0120
Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
You can fear rising antisemitism and recognise that Zionism is racism simultaneously. They are perfectly compatible; I would even say they are necessarily compatible.

It's amazing where you can find chickweed if you look. Thriving at the top of an old tree trunk! A good place to disperse seeds I suppose. It's the big sort that goes all angular when it seeds. I should probably learn the proper names at some point. 😅
A tall tree stump that looks mostly dead, though with a sprig of new growth on one sawn off branch. On the near side there's a hollow branch scar with a spray of chickweed tumbling down. The sky is blue with puffy white clouds.
