The House of Lords should have been abolished generations ago.
It shouldn't have a place in today's society. The Green Party is very clear on this.
While we're sending people to the lords, they should not be afraid to be disruptive to achieve our goals.
So I'm standing for the Green's Lords List

I hate that things have devolved into an argument on whether the UK should spend more on defence.
It's a nonsense framing that suggests the bigger the number, the more secure we are.
We should be talking about how we achieve peace. Not just mindlessly funnel money, thinking that will keep us safe.

The US doing imperialism in Latin America and breaking international law is nothing new.
But in the past, they at least tried to hide what they were doing. The US is a full-on rogue state under Trump.
Any world leaders that don't condemn these actions are unfit for office.

I totally agree there is no such thing as a "perfect Green."
The aim isn't everyone to become Vegan, it's that meat production is reduced and is more ethical.
We don't want to stop people driving and flying. We want active travel to be safe and public transport to be a cheap and viable option.

What I hate most about the Girl Guides banning trans girls and women is that they do the double speak of being inclusive and saying we were forced to do it.
They weren't forced to, and even if the law worked that way, you can't be inclusive while enforcing discrimination of the state.

Two motions, which both passed with a supermajority (with 10,000+ people voting) committed the new party to explicitly supporting "trans liberation".

The EHRC is making trans people afraid to live a public life through segregation.
The suffragettes and the black civil rights movement included property damage in its direct action.
Be on the right side of history by recognising the harm being done instead of hand-wringing over a smash window.

I take no pleasure in this. As a Green, I have a lot of disagreements with LibDems on economic issues, but I want every party to be trans inclusive.
LibDems rejected this move at their conference, so it is bad for both internal democracy and trans people.
Their leadership needs to grow a backbone.

This is what happens when Lib-Dem MP's and party administrators don't come charging out the gate and bodyslam misogyny against all women whether born cis or trans. If the Lib-Dems can't defend all women with the same vigour they are shit at their job.
