Phil @phil-thebeachbum.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I think the Greens have really shot themselves in the foot this week. Just as there seemed to be some ideological rapprochement with Labour ideas, they go & make themselves so very unpopular with this racism motion that even I find myself questioning if I can still support them now. 010
