Reform could do a lot more damage than Mahmood though!

Represent the idea Britain can improve people’s lives economically and disrupt the failed establishment without needing to ally with the millionaire class and racist cruelty.

I can see finding it distasteful to politic about family but I expected it to be a lot worse tbh.

Mahmood's s*n article starts with the sentence -'I share the public’s fury at seeing our laws used against us.' It is just pure xenophobic populism - unbelievable.

What is the point? I live in her constituency and am a member of the Green Party - I'd love her to go green. I just see how it's difficult for her and think the greens locally need to work hard to show it can work...

I think it would be risky for her to quit without clear local indicators that Nottingham East would follow her to the Greens at the next election. For the Greens, that means campaigning in the local elections in May 2027 hard for councillor gains. But Greens have one councillor at the moment.
