I implore people to take a beat on analysis of why we lost so as to avoid a knee jerk reaction without due consideration. We did lose and we can learn from that, but we don’t learn if we don’t think more carefully about why we lost than just an instant hot take.

"Average UK households are now almost £3,000 worse off than they would have been without the inflation shocks [since 2020]" Energy bills up 70%. Water bills up 61%. Food prices up 38% And that's on top of wages falling in real terms from 2008-18

one really overlooked thing from conference; the Green Party now explicitly supports BDS at a local council level, our councillors will get support to bring forward BDS motions at local councils nationwide. my hot take? this is a bigger deal materially than ZiR is.

It’s excellent that the Greens are doing this. Unsurprisingly it’s had almost zero coverage in the media outlets (who also do a shockingly poor job of telling everyone about NHS privatisation). Link to article: leftfootforward.org/2026/10/gree... jujuliagrace.substack.com

The government is silent about it because governments do not care about disabled lives. They see us as drains on the system. “Useless eaters”. High cost health users. Anything other than people who are deserving of love and care. Most people will end up disabled at some point. Fight for us.

Labour wont even end outsourcing and funding shortfalls in the NHS, how can they be trusted to create a well funded, in house care system? they cant, it will be an outsourced care system with insufficient funding. not to mention theyve already confirmed the NCS is over 65's only (discriminatory)
