I was chatting to online friends last week and we'd all thought about voting Green but each thought they were alone and its a waste of their vote. You need some way of Green voters identifying with friends without feeling pushy. Need visibility in peer groups. Something not US style evangelicalism.

If the only reason Labour has changed their tune is fear of the Greens, I still don't want them anywhere near power. I'm sticking with a party and leader who have decried the cap from the start. And stood for trans rights. And for Palestine.

If this is true - this should have happened a long time ago.
The Green Party alongside campaigners have been calling for this - and it's good to see maybe they've finally listened.

NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full*

White poppies were first produced in 1933 by the Co-operative Women's Guild, made up largely of women who had lost loved ones in World War One. They were worried by the growing militarisation of Remembrance events and what they saw as a detachment between the red poppy and the need to work for peace

It's very telling that we have politicians all over the world calling decent human beings for "radicals" now. We are apparently extremely dangerous people, because we want peace, justice, a better life for all and basic human decency from our leaders.
