OCC is just an excuse to try and evangelicalise in communities that would be better off without it!
Also don't forget that charity starts at home. I know some foodbanks have special Christmas campaigns for example

Look how well starting a trade war is working for the soybean states in the US?

Agreed.
I voted Labour tactically to keep the tories and reform out....
It's been an absolute disaster of a government.
I can't tell Shabana Mahmood apart politically from Suella braveman or Priti Patel.....
They may as well be the same person

Yeh there was also an element of that in my constituency.
But when you compare with some of them it really was a 2 horse race with reform being close seconds in a frightening number of constituencies

At the previous election there literally wasn't a credible alternative....
It was a matter of choosing the candidate best placed to beat reform in the constituency.... In mine that was labour... Next time it won't be

To be fair the Greens are so different in culture in the last few years that things have improved massively....
Even if some of the old guard are hanging on round the edges

It says something that the least bad goverment I have been able to vote for was the coalition which we all know wasn't great for the time, and only got the title of least bad way after the fact!
(yes I did vote 🔶 in that election so I guess I'm partly to blame for the mess there)

This does have its downsides.
The ability to filabuster motions at conference that the leadership team don't particularly agree with to prevent them being debated or voted on is a case in point although the one thing stopping me voting green has finally been fixed after this happening several times

To be honest a mix of soc dem and dem soc suits me fine...
I might be slightly on the right edge of the current momentum in the GPEW but again that's no bad place to be we need to move to the left further than any government could do in 1 term anyway. We just may not agree where to stop

Traditionally the greens have always been somewhere between soc-dem and dem-soc
Which honestly suits me fine on economic matters
But with the rightward shift in the Overton window even traditional socal democratic principles seem radical left!

But the green party membership (not necessarily all their candidates sadly) won't stand for TERFs, racists, antisemites, or other bigots.
YP provides a home for those on the left who want to discriminate in such ways away from the real parties where they could poison the whole barrel

A single parent working full time at minimum wage ideally should be able to afford a week with the kids in a static caravan in Cornwall/wales/Scotland/etc once a year too

It's crazy that a single person working full time at minimum wage is not able to afford the basics of a roof over their head. Sufficient and nutritious food for them and their dependents, to be able to run a basic vehicle and other neccassay utilities.

And the only time you would ever use the recognition certificate is when dealing with organisations that need to update records from your deadname and gender to your new name and gender
Or in cases like this when you need to prove that something issued under your deadname is really you

That makes sense,
But having some official document that shows both does solve this problem
You get new ID documents for everything else (nobody uses their birth certificate as ID anyway)
Although passport, driving licence etc would only show the new name

That's an interesting one,
As far as im aware you don't get a new birth certificate here, instead you get a gender recognition certificate which works more like a marriage certificate in that it shows your old and new names and links them together
