This is good news. When Corbyn became Labour leader, the party became the largest political movement in Europe through its membership. Green and Corbyn manifestos are v similar, this is now the natural home for green socialists.
While I'm not involved in any political party, I think @zackpolanski.bsky.social's analysis is correct. Thanks to Labour's multiple, infuriating failures, the Greens could become huge here, but only if they are bolder, more assertive and, yes, "eco-populist". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The BBC is utterly beholden to the right. Why else would it fear a podcast about heat pumps? | George Monbiot
The broadcaster behaves like Starmer’s government: suppress the left, cave to your critics, and undermine your own survival, writes Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Deliberate ploy by neoliberalists - Starmer, tories etc. is to render most people (through lack of education) to decipher the bullshit they propagate.
So they can carry on lying to, defrauding, screwing those that put them in power.

Israel has chosen to mark the first days of Ramadan by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law.
There is no other way of putting it: this is a resumption of genocide — and our government is complicit.
