A little thread about me for anyone following me;
Been in @thegreenparty.bsky.social for 10 years.
I'm the reason the Greens support a £15 min-wage.
I'm a barista probably the only Unionised barista in Brighton and Hove.
Freelance as a videographer, making campaign videos, propaganda basically.

I will simply vote Green and campaign for as many years as it takes to get a Green MP. I don't care to try and game the system like a middle class armchair general.

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want.
In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive
potential, but we need to start now. 🧵

Simply put, the Green Party spent 2015-2020 obsessed with electoral pacts and alliances, and we didn't actually get anywhere.
In 2024, when we weren't obsessed with standing down, we quadrupled our MPs!

I just find it bitterly funny that in all the "what will be Labour's challenge to the left" articles, the obvious answer isn't the Green Party, but a party that doesn't exist.
