The Local Green Party is free to field a candidate. I’ve always stood by that principle. But the choice to run a full campaign is down to a national party that knows it can’t win. Everyone should be honest about that. inews.co.uk/news/green-par…

@LeftieStats Yes, let's just ignore that something happened in 2016-2021 when I was co-leader when we changed the direction of the party from being a pressure group to being a serious electoral force. 😂😂😂😂

Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️‍⚧️
Under the leadership of these "senior" Greens, the party endured flop after flop. With Polanski, Greens are on 16%, won 6 council majorities + 2 elected Mayors, won new MP, hit 1,300 councillors and have 220,000 members. These losers should shut up and let him get on with it.

🟢 EXCL: Senior Green Party figures have urged Zack Polanski to consider stepping aside for Andy Burnham in the Makerfield by-election if the Greater Manchester mayor commits to introducing proportional representation Green councillors, activists and former party leaders have signed a joint statement warning that the party should approach the contest with “trepidation” The letter, whose signatories include Jonathan Bartley, who led the party between 2016 and 2018, and Rupert Read, a former Green councillor and author, says that Burnham’s election presents a “unique opportunity” to secure reform “In all reality this is not a seat Greens can win. It will be a straight fight between Labour and Reform. But it’s no ordinary by-election. Labour’s candidate, Andy Burnham, is looking to return to Westminster to lead in parliament.” “If Burnham will commit to backing proportional representation for the next general Labour election manifesto so that it is in place by the election after next, then on this unique occasion we don’t think Greens should run a full campaign against him,” the letter says Full read in @thetimes 👇 thetimes.com/article/16d6ba…

@lrolles1981 Hi - To confirm, yes there was a stabbing. I was there today. I also met with the chair of the Clapham Common Management Committee on Friday and discussed exactly the circumstances that sadly now appear to have surrounded this incident. I will be meeting with police.

Our London MRP, suggests Greens gaining significant ground across the Board and potentially able to usurp Labour in votes in Hackney, Lambeth, Lewisham, Enfield, Islington and Newham. Reform doing well in Havering and Bexley

As the Conservative candidates for Clapham Town know this is just complete nonsense. Every poll and projection puts Greens neck and neck with Labour across Lambeth and also in Clapham Town ward itself.
Neil Salt@NeilSalt2019

A great reception again on Clapham Town ward's doorsteps for @ForresterJJ, @PromJPhillips & me Our @Conservatives colleagues came a close second to Labour in '22 Reminding residents re recent @Moreincommon_ L'dn headline voting intention poll showing Con +3% & Lab -27% on '22.

Co-leadership was introduced so people like me (co-leader 2016-2021) could fulfil caring responsibilities (I have a disabled son) while also engaging politically. Sure we didn’t get the media cut through at the time (due to a number of reasons not least Labour occupying the Green Party’s eco-socialist space) but we trebled our councillors during this period and beat the Tories in the European elections. We also set up the election infrastructure which is now translating the Green Party’s popularity into electoral success. Exclusive one-size fits all politics keeps a lot of people from getting involved. Co-leadership models the kind of inclusive society and values Greens want to see.

Dual leadership really was such a stupid, self-indulgent gimmick for the Greens

NEW: Despite facing the prospect of losing dozens of seats at the election on Thursday @LambethLabour Council Leader Claire Holland has already booked her trip to @MIPIMWorld 2027 The Corporate Real Estate Conference in Cannes, France where Politicians, Billionaire Housing Developers and Landlords meet to discuss how to make as much money as possible from property and housing. This kind of extravagance in the midst of a Housing Emergency is why Lambeth has one of the worst Borough wide records on housing not just in London but the entire UK. I hope MIPIM has a good refund policy. HT @gamecounsel

Labour don’t want you to vote Greens. The Tories don’t want you to vote Green. Reform don’t want you to vote Green. That tells you all you need to know. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
