I don't think that Stats for Lefties was suspended for being trans. I say this as someone that was suspended by the same Green Party body as Eleanora, in my case it was for being trans back in 2021 when the party was in a very different place than it is today. www.opendemocracy.net/en/trans-uk-...

Given that there is no Green Party candidate for the Clacton by-election, I am officially endorsing @countbinface.bsky.social to become the MP for Clacton. And not just because he isn't Nigel Farage, but because he has excellent policies.

If Starmer got into a heap of trouble for accepting gifts of suits, concert tickets and football tickets then Farage should be absolutely hounded for the millions of pounds he's been gifted from billionaires and millionaires.

No. I think this will be a serious three-way contest, with the Greens and Reform both having a realistic chance. A lot will depend on how much they can throw at the election.

On July 1st, energy bills are set to rise by an average of £221 per household. With millions already struggling while corporations profit from rip-off Britain, Green MP @greenpartyhan.bsky.social has written to the Chancellor calling for urgent action.
Letter from Green MP Hannah Spencer to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, dated 28 May 2026.
Hannah raises concerns about Ofgem’s July energy price cap rise, which will increase average household bills by around £221- she says many constituents in Gorton and Denton are already struggling with unaffordable bills, with one in three households in fuel poverty, while fossil fuel companies profit from global instability. She urges the Chancellor to intervene to stop bills rising, tax fossil fuel profits linked to US-Israeli aggression in Iran, invest in renewable energy, and fund a national home insulation scheme.
Hannah urges the chancellor to consider these measures with urgency, and asks the Chancellor to answer a question on behalf of her constituents: why does she refuse to take the side of people who are struggling, continuing to instead defend corporate shareholders' interests?
