Gomersall wrote a column a few days ago. Looks like they were really upset by the conference which sounds interesting.
Scottish Greens closing door on Your Party electoral pact was wrong
22nd October
Speeches from senior Greens against working with Your Party focused largely on issues of assumed policy disagreement such as transphobia.
But all of the multiple trans members who spoke on the motion spoke in favour of co-operation, acknowledging that closing the door to working with a party on the basis of assumptions – assumptions which have already been dismissed by Sultana – fails to recognise the far more serious threat to trans rights if the left refuse to co-operate and leave the path clear for Farage and Reform.

This is huge it seems like it is the Glasgow faction who were trying to coup Harvey are all splitting off. See earlier in this thread for how nasty that was.
This could have big implications for politics in Glasgow and Scotland. If YP actually has a strong ground game in Scotland they could wreck the Greens chances in the list in some places.
We could be looking at TA on TA targeting which brings them both down.
The crazy thing is Gomershall knows this saying;
It would be deeply wrong for Greens to not expect Your Party to field candidates next year, but it would also be deeply foolish to think this wouldn’t decimate the Greens’ vote share and therefore the number of MSPs we can elect. The same will be true for the council elections in 2027, and all other future elections both parties field candidates in, unless some form of electoral co-operation can be agreed.
