I’ve seen people apprehensive about Labour left MPs joining Greens. I don’t think anyone would say no to Abbott, McDonnell, Rachael Maskell etc. They’re wasted now in the Labour Party, trying to fix it from the inside.

Why fix a broken car when you can hop in the new model? No time for nostalgia.

The PLP are currently both scared and in denial about the prospects of losing almost every seat in the country because of their leader’s addiction to right wing politics and stepping on vulnerable people.
They are mostly in denial.

The streams will cross. It’s just a matter of when. Steady as she goes. The Labour centre will not hold, their voting share is made of sand, they’ve chosen to chase the Reform voter and smash the sand holding up their voting coalition.

At the start of the 20th century when Labour was a socialist party, the long-established Liberals would tell people: don't vote Labour - it will just split the anti-Tory vote.

Eventually people got fed up with being told not to vote for real change.

Looks to be happening now.

I think if someone tells another person “stop bothering me” they should probably stop bothering you just out of civility

The Labour Party have spent no time at all criticising Nigel Farage and Reform.

When I took Reform on - Labour sat their silently.

They're now spending their time attacking me and the Green Party.

Lower bills. Tax billionaires. (And rebuild European alliances.)

The party of government, that won a generational landslide just over a year ago, is polling at just 15%.

Starmer will be remembered as one of the worst prime ministers in British history, and a willing midwife for the fascism to come.

“Falseness” what exactly do these people think Keir Starmer is? Because he isn’t exactly Mr Squeaky Clean is he? He’s so fake he should be in Madame Tussaud’s. He makes Ken look real.

You are a disgrace for spreading vile right wing Labour propaganda. Go and tell someone who cares, because none of us do.

Terrified the disabled and pushed them into poverty with cruel and unneeded welfare cuts.
Used immigrants as a shield to try to court Reform voters, failed.
Time and time again taking their voters for granted, promising us change but delivering more of the same.

It's time for Labour to stop splitting the anti Reform vote and stand down at elections.

I see the "The Greens are damaging Labour" narrative has started after Labour's slide in the polls. Labour, in it's current form, is no longer fit for purpose. People have every right to look to alternatives.

15% is low for Labour, but I’m sure we can get it much, much lower than that.

Welcome to the Labour Limbo, how low can they go?

And what do you like most about Keir Starmer, the man with disabled family who inexplicably is pushing disabled into poverty with cruel welfare cuts? What do you like about Morgan McSweeney, the man pushing the government to appease the far right in a fantasy strategy of courting Reform voters?

Yet they still dance the “making Brexit work” dance.

They’re not making Brexit work, they’re making Brexit worse.
