The headline is Abolish Landlords.

The motion itself says it's an effective abolition, ie, not a straight ban but a process of dismantling the private rental sector through taxes and regulation while building council housing.

Again, you could read for yourself. It's not that taxing a task.

"remove the ban idea"

You haven't read it then.

You can only really have a serious discussion if you read it.

That's a fact btw. You wouldn't care. I have made you care about it by calling it something provocative.
September 8, 2025 at 9:05 AM
If it wasn't called Abolish Landlords you wouldn't be talking about it.

You literally haven't read the motion.

The main problem is that most of this policy, which will shrink the private rental sector, has been policy for 4 years, we need to make it a national issue and this is the way to do that, by calling a spade a spade.

And yeah man, I'll be there, say hello. 👍🏼

The idea that just because Germany's rents are marginally lower than the UK's means they don't have a housing crisis is devoid of reality. The Netherland's rents are slightly lower, and housing will dominate our general election.

Thanks Alex!

Germany has large corporate landlords as opposed to the dominance of small individual landlords in the UK.

Berlin literally had a referendum on expropriating the large landlords and they voted yes.

Berliners vote 'yes' on property expropriation – DW – 09/27/2021
A referendum proposing that authorities in Berlin seize and take into public ownership more than 200,000 homes has passed resoundingly. But political and legal hurdles mean it may never become reality...

Playing by imagined establishment rules rather than carving your own path. Literally nobody is asking you to be racist it's disingenuous to suggest any reporter is asking the Greens to be racist.

They're saying be populist. Be interesting. Pick fights. Jfc this isnt that deep.

But in the interview @carladenyer.bsky.social literally describes what @lewisgoodall.com said we do!

Play by the rules, sit in the chamber, write letters and debates, submit amendments. "Oooh isn't it bad Reform aren't in the chamber"

Reform are all over the headlines. They're winning rn!

This is where Leftwing media can be useful to the movement. What are the leaders doing to improve the party and its Comms? What is their plan to improve it? Don't get fobbed off witha nice answer really go at it!

To get there, we need a new generation on GPEx. And get rid of @greenpartymolly.bsky.social. 👍🏼

Green MPs come from a very narrow background, they all fit a certain personality profile.

We need MPs who can **fight**. Who can make Labour pay in the media and at the polls. We need a new generation of Green MPs who can communicate to voters!
January 28, 2025 at 12:30 PM
But otherwise, seeing @greenpartymolly.bsky.social called out in the Guardian is rather fun.
January 28, 2025 at 12:27 PM
The idea there's widespread respect for the GPEx member who cost us 90k+ in legal fees and broke internal election rules and hasn't once apologised is wrong.

Other than that yes.
