The scary thing, if any thing this thread understates the situation because the key thing about what's happening is that transphobia has become mandated due to the possibility that others could sue over their right to single-sex spaces having been compromised

I’m sure I’m not imagining when I say Reform is far more extreme than UKIP ever was. UKIP was basically like a bunch of headbanger Tories without a whip. Reform is now more like the BNP with better PR

I truly don't get how anyone can twist Zohran attending the Oct. 7 vigil into something "new," or a shift in policy, for the Mayor --- He attended the exact same event, organized by the same group, under the same name (Israelis for Peace), with the same people, last year during the election.

Empathy and concern are good things. Consistent values and support of human rights are also good - but not when they become sticks to beat people.

But the whole rhetorical traps about 'condemning' X and Y are every bit as much of a dead-end as purity testing about whether or not you are 'anti-Zionist' or not. Most people who are pro Palestine feel that way because they are appalled by the violence and genocide and view the West as complicit

There's a special kind of trauma from the official national equality watchdog specifically become a high profile campaigner against your rights specifically (and cast you as an oppressor in the same breath), which is then called upon by some still as an arbiter of moral authority on bigotry.

neoliberalism etc which voting to completely ruin our economy, credibility and global standing was equated with voting against, and the various scrambles to explain that any negative consequences just 'depends how it is implemented' but also changes nothing at the same time.

This is basically the Green Party’s version of Brexit right down to the cursed ratio in the room, the lack of leadership from those at the top, the arguments from various sects about why it is great, the very understandable reasons to dislike the EU due to eg the racism of its border policies

You’ll see a lot of “why are the Tories so happy” and the answer is: the British press only permits two types of government, and the current one is a fucking disaster. So they believe they’ll be back in power sooner or later, and TBF they’re probably right.

Hi Sian, Zionism in practice is racist, however this motion is obviously not the way to achieve Palestinian liberation and the motions proposers refuse to engage in good faith. Can we ask you to alternatively support E03, which seeks to support Palestinians in a more effective way?

Fully agreed. We're an anti-genocide party at its heart and we all want to see Israel sanctioned for all its horrific actions and settler colonialism, but this motion is not helpful to the pro-Palestine cause, and I share the concerns around this motion. Will be voting against it.

This is so frustrating. Aside from the incoherence of the position, it will mark the end of a serious left challenge to Labour (which our politics needs, *especially* on the issue of Israel/Palestine).
