I'm sorry by if they aren't going to respect trans people's gender change, I'm not going to respect the sovereign's recent gender change She's still Queen, no matter the genitalia change! :-P

I think for must of us, reducing risk is the best we could manage. All the data seems clear Inhaling burning fumes of carcinogenic substances is definitely worse than vaping And yes, we know it's still not good. For some of us, not as bad is the best we can do

Did any of you lot know about this? jewishvoiceforliberation.org.uk/statement/in...

We extend our solidarity to the Green Party of England and Wales and its members who are facing a barrage of media smears and abuse following its conference decision to pass a ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion. We understand the outrage which underpins that motion, in particular a fury at the UK government’s complicity with the genocide in Gaza.

We believe that any division resulting from the differences of view on the motion, within and outside the Green Party is being fuelled by a hostile media response and bad faith actors who refuse to engage with what the real substance of the motion is – a reaction to genocide and an attempt to root out its causes.

We reject the accusations that the resolution is antisemitic and are appalled but not surprised by the media pile up against both the Green Party and its Jewish leader, Zack Polanski.

Red line? The motion isn't anti-semitic. It very carefully sets out its argument in line with expert assessment of the Israeli-Palestinian situation Also many Jews support it and the Greens because of it And it's definitely getting a bad press... jewishvoiceforliberation.org.uk/statement/in...

Probably a bit, but it does still depend The Greens have a number of notable people now, and whilst Zack is definitely the most recognised, it wasn't him standing in Gorton and Denton, or standing for Mayor of Hackney, or Lewisham Just like Labour in the early 1900's, it takes a while to grow

And here's another one to help understand what happened at the by-election From a once safe seat race to an actual challenge, with Greens rapidly gaining on Labour over the last 2 years On the one hand: right-wing champagne capitalists + legacy Labour voters On the other: The re-coalessing lefties

020

Shoo away! What you're doing IS fascism @sahrataylor.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Not gonna lie, I didn't expect Zack to win The 'Burnham Bounce' The unrelenting negative press The disingenuous reporting of 'Zionism is Racism' A labour 'safe seat' etc For all that, Labour dropped 4% and the Greens went up by 22% The numbers tell a very different story to the press

A Graphic of two bar charts about the recent Holborn and St Pancres By-election.
The first of the percentage of voters per party: Labour 45%, Greens 33%, Conservatives 7%, Reform 6%
The second of the percentage change of votes compared to the previous election: Labour down 4%, Greens up 22%, the rest, very small changes.

Got my fingers 'n toes crossed that you pull this off! But if not, it makes no difference to your leadership. You've been, and continue to be, truly exceptional (Also, it took Farage a bazillion attempts to get into Parliament. If it takes you a few you'll still be way more successful that he was)

oh and 'could have joined the next government' hilarity? which government? If it was a Labour minority, they always, and especially recently, make it crystal clear: Never with the Greens Or Reform? Hah Conservatives? 🤣 Coalition of minor powers? SNP Plaid Lid Dem? That'd be sadly very unlikely

Slogans are the lifebook of all political parties. Why do you care so much right now the Greens have done another slogan? Zionism is a racist ideology, currently expressed by Israel as a genocidally racist ideology Or are you saying they shouldn't recognise the reality and taken a position on it?

Yes but no but wringing hands! The @greenparty.org.uk must be wrong for saying that Zionism - this Zionism of Smotrich and others - is racism...? *Note to Class* Yes It is Smotrich is talking about ethnic cleansing, and you're quibbling about a vigorously researched and carefully drafted policy

ok but... Helen doesn't even mention LGBTQIA+ stuff! Tania at least mentions "LGBTQ plus colleagues" If you aren't even going to mention LGBTQIA+ people, you just won't ever get my vote And that none of them even mentioned the segregation shitstorm falling on trans women??? *sigh* This bodes...

I'd love to share my data with an actual responsible company Maybe a Cooperative that puts people before profit Definitely not one complicit in mass human rights violations, complicit in genocide, 'n owned by an openly tech-fascist And definitely not whilst Labour is in power! I don't trust them!

I want to be very clear I will not share my health data! Because: Fuck Palantir Fuck the Labour Gvt for foisting it on us, & their transphobia & tech-fascism And finally: Not Fuck the NHS, because national heath is great But also kinda, coz I think you could have fought back publicly & harder

or to clarify - I do not doubt that your being trans contributed, or was the core reason, for your report and your suspension - and THAT NEEDS TO BE INDEPENDENTLY INVESTIGATED - but I question whether that was the core of the complaint

010

Shoo away! What you're doing IS fascism @sahrataylor.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

But also, I don't know whether I entirely agree with your assertion that this has happened because you are trans You've made a name for yourself as someone who regularly pushes the edge of the line, and GPEW's 'best faith' constitution is a right bitch when you use aggressive language

Shoo away! What you're doing IS fascism @sahrataylor.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

But also, it's highly unlikely that 'the party' leaked this It is far more likely it was one or a few GPRC members (or someone in Disciplinary) who made the decision They were very obviously acting against the best interests of the party, and should be reported 'n suspended, if/when identified

Shoo away! What you're doing IS fascism @sahrataylor.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Firstly, I'm so sorry you are having to endure this I also experienced a spurious suspension from the party just after election to GPEx. It took months to get back in, and It was never the same for me afterwards. I quit the position, and went silent for almost a decade 1/

Genocidal Anti-Trans Extremists are the 'palatable' path to Fascism 'Protecting' the white cis population from trans people & POC 'foreigners' is exactly the same path to Nazism we saw 100 yrs ago "Terfs are GATEway Fascists" ... I've been working at this for a while so I need of lots of likes 😉

The section on trans people is very specific The rest of the document doesn't mention 'reserved' at all... and only, from the case above, in reference to a trans woman standing for the "Disabled Members’ reserved female seat during the 2025 NEC elections" Are there elections at this conference?

020

Shoo away! What you're doing IS fascism @sahrataylor.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

and it refers to this: So... only branches sending 3 or more delegates must restrict the 'low paid woman' and the 'young member' in the delegation to cis women or trans men? Do branches vote on who attends this? (At my UCU branch, attending is as basic as 'who wants to go?' - so no reserved seats

Proportionality and Fair Representation
In line with all other UNISON conferences, the principles of proportionality and fair representation contained in the NEC’s Scheme of Branch Representation will be applied to encourage participation
of groups such as young and low paid members in particular.
1) Branches sending 3 delegates must include one low paid woman member in the delegation. Low paid members are those with a basic hourly rate as identified in Rule Q, Definitions.
2) Branches sending 4 delegates must include one young member in the delegation (i.e. age 30 or under at the end of conference).
Branches must be pro-active in filling the low paid member’s seat. In identifying low paid members, branches should ensure they consider all employers and all workforces covered by the branch.
Branches with more than one delegate should also seek to achieve fair representation as defined in Rule Q:
“Fair Representation is the broad balance of representation of members of the electorate, taking into account such factors as age and low pay, the balance between full time and part-time workers,
manual and non-manual workers, different occupations, skills, race, sexual orientation, disability and gender identity”.
