It's not pedantry. If the motion clarified that there are different definitions or meanings of the word used (as there are) and the motion referred to a specific one, it would be less contentious.

That was only a small number of people who felt that way. I've already seen long standing members of the party resign their membership over this. This is a much bigger deal than that motion was. 5 of our 6 MPs and former MP made statements opposing ZiR and said they cannot defend that policy.

The Green Party already has excellent policy on Palestine and we are united behind that. This motion is divisive within the pro Palestine community. For a start, the motion calls for a single state - only 10% of Palestinians want this.

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-...

I know Kai Taylor and while he was endorsed by that group, he has never worked with that group or for them. He isn't a transphobe whatsoever and supports trans rights. He tried to distance himself from that group. This is conspiratorial.

Now you're sharing personal takes and opinions on the Greens more generally than the point about this post. Losing just 2 councillors that were won against a single Tory candidate in by-elections contested by multiple candidates could be explained by local circumstances isn't a huge upset.

Jake Welsh @veganfishcake.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Those seats were won against a single other Tory candidate, not 4 or 5 candidates. And it's 2 seats, not 15 or 10 or even 5 seats. Just 2.

Jake Welsh @veganfishcake.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
It 2 seats, that seem to have been won against a single Tory candidate first time around. Not 10 seats or even 5 seats. I'm sure there have been greater collapses for other parties in some councils that you haven't highlighted.

Jake Welsh @veganfishcake.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
It is an attack, or at least a negative news post about the Greens. Labour have lost tons of by-elections this year but ElectionMapsUK haven't made comments about how terrible things have been for Labour. Or when other parties have lost by-elections. This account had been politically neutral.

Jake Welsh @veganfishcake.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Why are you attacking the Greens? They've lost 2 councillors in this council yet you post about it. You don't do the same for other parties. Recent post suggests you're a Labour member? Please keep this account politically neutral!

Again I ask you, where is your evidence that the suspension was done because of negative media coverage?

You don't know if the member has or hasn't been shown where it was broken, any emails or letters have not been made public (rightly). You also don't know when any complaints may have been submitted. About this individual case there is this:

Not commenting on any individual case, if a trans member breaks the code of conduct, shouldn't they be treated the same as anyone else breaking the code of conduct?

Multiple people raised she was breaking the code of conduct after spring conference, long before she was elected. Furthermore, her lumping all British Jewish Greens together as genocide deniers who are oppressing Palestinians is abhorrent and dangerous. bsky.app/profile/left...

It was a coincidence. It doesn't prove anything. The only people who know why the suspension took place are the people who made the decision. Everything else is speculation and probably confidential.
