Richard Firth, who made the covert recording of the woman sharing very personal information, posted about 'petrifying some terfs' and chanted 'I'd rather be a pervert than a terf', has been suspended from the Green Party for a year and banned from holding office for a further two years. It's not known if the reason for his suspension is the same or different to the above complaints.

Richard Firth is not suspended any longer. He was re-admitted about a month ago, apparently having won an appeal against the suspension.

Update! I have head on the grapevine that Richard Firth was kicked out of the Green Party. No idea when or why, but it must have been very serious.
Does anyone in the Greens have information about this?

Green Party member still listed on his Twitter bio…

Agree that if he has been kicked out, it must be bad!

I’m blocked from his Twitter. I’m not usually on any block lists that I’m aware, maybe that’s changed!

This thread was worth resurrecting, not just for the info about members of the Green Party, but to highlight Sarah Field’s magnificent speech. That should be required reading in PHSE (local acronyms apply!) classes

Can't imagine what he's done.

Beth Douglas, meanwhile, has been reinstated as rainbow green head in Scottish Greens.

I can’t find the speech - can you link?

And suspended again,
maybe Beth’s dirt isn’t rich enough.

The Lib Dem leader keeps getting linked with “did you do it for Beth?” On his Twitter. He said he’d never met Beth, it is all very odd indeed. Beth’s sad suspension tweet

I am in Yorkshire and going to conference this weekend. I will see if I can get any info on Dickie and report back. Then name change!
