Whichever PWG, it ends to have a real live wire on its committee who will pick up the ball and run with it, rather than sit on their hands and keep policy drafters on a timewasting hamster wheel.

@PeterTatchell on X / ex-Twitter:
"Green Party [of England & Wales] is not doing enough to advocate for Ukraine's self-defence against Russian fascism & imperialism.

WhatsApp groups are multiplying exponentially, as of last week especially, it feels like. I'd rather Green Spaces returned, reinforcing the now-diluted ecologist and environmentalist emphasis.

They tour UK and play the little leagues circuit, such as Cambridge's Portland Arms. Seen them maybe three times, and their commitment is undeniable. The repertoire is something of a curate's egg, but there are enjoyable passages in every gig.

I do find it baffling, & have to think it through sometimes It's a hardened-bunker groupthink mindset where this is somehow normalised and they don't interrogate their own choices from an ethical perspective. Their bubble gives them licence & permission, in a way such decisions are already baked in.

Emergency winter appeal – help us raise £25,000 for aid to deliver to Ukraine
Workers at the college we are fundraising for in Kryvyi Rih, part of KVPU union federation's education union After an extremely busy summer winning strengthened UK labour movement solidarity with Ukraine, Ukraine Solidarity Campaign is returning to fundraising for practical aid. We are seeking to raise £25,000 for aid to be delivered to a wide variety of Ukrainian organisations, groups of workers and communities (see below).
