I'm just over 100 days as the leader of the Green Party.

We've had several polls where we're in second place above Labour.

And today we found out we are closing in on overtaking Labours membership.

Then we're coming for Reform.

@chislehurstmatters.bsky.social it looks like the top end of Imperial Way has been closed by Thames Water this morning without warning and the 162 bus is on diversion. Any news how long this will last?

I see the PM is being very rattled and very untruthful about the Greens again in the papers.

He couldn’t say this stuff in Parliament because he would be lying to the House - both about what our popular, evidence-based policies are, and about him believing this guff.

Fiona Bruce desperately tries to smear Zack Polanski and the Green Party as supporting open borders as if it is the worst thing in the world.

But 56% of the UK support Free Movement.

It is actually her demonisation of migration which is supported by only 20% of the UK.

From the Congo to Sudan to Palestine, Your Party will stand with the oppressed.

That means it must be explicitly anti–Zionist.

There must be a day of reckoning for those who have enabled genocide.

We cannot rest until Keir Starmer and David Lammy are in the docks of The Hague.

So the BBC did a news story on the horrible conditions in the hotels were people seeking asylum are forced to live and instead of the media talking about humanity and compassion about improving conditions and letting them work, this was the outcome:
So how exactly are they meant to get to them? Many are placed in areas without accessible transport links. They can't afford to pay for journeys themselves because of how little support they get.
Yet again Labour choosing to pander to Reform than think of consequences.

Why does ANY sane person still want the UK Royal Family?

How much does the royal family really cost the British public?

After another week of banging on about immigration, Keir Starmer's ratings fall to their lowest ever level.

At what point do Labour strategists start to think that maybe this isn't quite the winning strategy they believed?

For anyone utterly revolted by this, please cancel your Labour membership if you still have one and direct that money to a party with compassion (eg. Greens) or the RNLI.

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

I find the endless, often pointless drama that has typified UK politics coverage for a decade as draining & unedifying as anyone. But, *as of now* & by every relevant measure, Starmer’s position is perilously close to untenable. Of course people are planning for a future where he’s no longer leader.
