If Labour truly want to Stop Reform - as they keep saying - they should stand aside in by-elections where Greens are clearly favourites - like Macclesfield Central.

Instead they peddle their usual wares in the usual way, as if their government and the Labour-led council here aren't both failing.

Looks as though it's from the 1960's - a leaflet promoting some Labour candidate in a by-election they won't win.

Yeah that's exactly what it's about. Typical defending the faction behaviour - same goes for disciplines in academia.

Plus, there's the thing that if all the amazing theory and scholarship in the environmental humanities/soc sci informing our policy doesn't derive from Hegel it's deemed worthless

Scottish Greens membership grows to highest total since 2016

Co-leader Ross Greer said the party’s ‘hopeful vision’ was helping attract more members and could spur them to a record result at Holyrood in May.

If we can channel Benjamin Zephania's love of humanity, gentle humour and fierce political flame we are on the right path.

Thanks so much for this, @zackpolanski.bsky.social, and for speaking up for all the communities that the far right disparages.

Who runs Labour’s housing policy? The biggest profit-driven big developers, that’s who.

Not councils, not Mayors with carefully Green-influenced policies, not housing co-ops or charities, not even housing associations. And definitely not homeless families.

Stop Rosebank @stopcambo.bsky.social · 7h

BREAKING 🚨: Equinor has admitted the Rosebank oil field would result in 249 million tonnes of CO2.

That's more than the combined annual emissions of Ireland, Belgium and Greece.

But Equinor says that's not their problem. They profit, everyone else pays the price.

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.)

"if you listen only to “leading CEOs”, you ensure the country becomes hospitable to capital but inhospitable to wildlife and people."

Yesterday's AI-Labour are led on a merry dance by megatech, flaggery and their FSA-fascination to declare war on nature. No wonder they are plummeting in the polls!

Caroline Lucas @carolinelucas.bsky.social · 11h

And if you’re wondering who Labour is listening to? “Reeves boasted she hatched plan to rip down our nature protections over a “smoked salmon & scrambled eggs breakfast” with corporate lobbyists”. While Starmer’s resolve to kick down planning rules are result of his “conversations with leading CEOs”

Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick | George Monbiot

The government’s new planning bill is tearing down environmental protections to benefit developers. This nation of nature lovers won’t stand for it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

One thing's for sure. People are realising there is a real opposition to the far right carve-up.

If so-called gens were actually real things rather than human-squishing marketing puff I might be motivated enough to bother understanding them enough to know what you're on about.

Until such time please provide explanations for your silly categories if you find a moment's pause among raking it in
