Hmm. Sounding a bit desperate, the Libdems:

'Senior Liberal Democrats have been highly critical of the Greens’ new policy. Tim Farron, the former leader, encouraged defectors to join his party in a post on X.
He wrote: “That the anti-Semitic entryists who have captured the Green Party, are being anti-Semitic, is no surprise.
“That [Zack Polanski] skipped this vote and failed to use his authority to argue against them, is an astonishing act of weakness. Real Greens are welcome in the Lib Dems.”
Jess Brown-Fuller, the party’s justice spokesman, also encouraged Green members to “find your political home in the Liberal Democrats'

Have a think about women's rights and you might get more takers.

This is something for the LibDems to think about

Remember those cards you could actually get, expressing your wish not to be visited in hospital by various politicians?

You'd need one of those but bigger and more attention grabbing. And preferably legally binding.

I thought Lucas was working as a Death Doula now.

Christ imagine being terminally ill and having her as your confidant

Imagine plotting against Caroline Lucas. The mind boggles at the sheer insanity of it. There are plenty of reasons that Lucas would be a disaster if she had any direct influence on our politics and govt policies in any future left coalition, but to gang up on her for speaking out re the ZiR motion is hilarious.

They depend on a mix of being under the radar, coercion via aggressive silencing of critics, and selling their own interests as 'peace' or 'love' or 'kindness'.

At some point, though, they risk breaking cover, meeting pushback, and/or a majority of people recognising the doublespeak.

Agree that the entryists (either the Gaza faction or the gender one) aren't big enough on their own to survive as a viable political party - that's why they glommed onto the Greens. It's Dentons playbook tactics.

Re: that interview and his hostility to female Reform speaker. I've seen a seething reaction from ZP as well that's quite common. Similar "eeeeek someone will pay for that" vibe

The other thing about Mothin Ali, and I realise this sounds petty, is that he's physically quite small. Women as per that piece learn to spot hostile body language but short men are often acutely aware of their literal shortcomings against other, larger males and that like it or not there's a pecking order.

It might even be why, unlike say the 2 Gaza independent MPs Ali has not been able to clearly state that he doesn't fully accept TWAW because he's fairly likely to come off worse if he becomes a target for activists. Last August/ September he was being openly goaded by India Willoughby about why he hadn't spoken out about the Trans Genocide like he has about the one in Gaza, and he managed to restrain himself in a way the 2 Gaza MPs who later left your party (Adnan Hussain and Iqbal Mohammed) didn't feel the need to, however politely, to tell them there wasn't one

Lucus is one of the ones who created the perfect environment for the entryist's, she's accused Israel of genocide herself, she made the bed she's about to be turfed out of, my money's on the Gazatters.

Another of her articles was interesting. This one was on Mothin Ali and his response to being challenged by a woman. I bet he hates having to do interviews with female politician: jeanhatchet.substack.com/p/when-a-man-raises-his-hand-to-a-woman

Having followed a link on another thread, I scrolled down and found this from The Telegraph

"Pro-Palestine Greens plot to banish ‘toxic’ Caroline Lucas
Green Party activists are plotting to oust Caroline Lucas after accusing her of being an Israeli "shill", The Telegraph can reveal.
Members of the Greens for Palestine group accused Ms Lucas, who was the party's first MP and twice served as its leader, of being "toxic, divisive and a shill for apartheid and genocide".
In WhatsApp messages seen by The Telegraph, members shared advice on how to submit complaints to the party's disciplinary panel about Ms Lucas, who comes from the moderate wing of the party.
The group hopes to submit enough complaints to encourage the party to act against Ms Lucas."

I'm at a loss for words to describe how malign and nihilistic the people behind this must be. They're really demented, it's as if they've de-evolved back into whatever Homo came before Sapien.

I think he's realised that a political party needs a leader. They thought they could run it like a social club with everyone having an equal say. Even social clubs can't work like that.

He asked me why I felt it was important. More or less, what has it got to do with me.

Same question could be thrown right back at him/the Green Party. Only more do. Why did they feel it was important to bring the Gaza conflict directly into GP politics to the extent that Jewish people in the UK feel even more under threat?

But I imagine they both fumed at the accusation of being racist lol.

I admire the way Jean Hatchet writes, vividly and uncompromisingly. I started reading the next article on Upton and Tickle esqs., which was also very funny, searing and witty - she said of Tickle (transwoman in recent Aussie Court case), "Tickle belongs under a bridge scaring goats".
I'm not surprised the weedy Green Councillors ran away. She is quite terrifying, also relentless, courageous and hilarious.

Also maybe lose some members.

Good thing Jean didn't also ask about the SC ruling. I suspect the meeting would have been terminated even earlier.

gulp

Is he though?

He's not stupid (although the evidence for that is a little thin) and he's a survivor, although hasn't reached the mendacious heights of Farage yet.

I don't think he was asleep. I think he's changing his tactics to hang onto the leadership.

Vladimir Putin would eat ZP alive, before breakfast, and without blinking. Can you imagine!?
