Good job we don't have a looming climate crisis to worry about.....

That'll show 'em.

Obviously thoughts and prayers are with the drag queen story time community at this difficult time. But if we could perhaps have a tiny look at the situation of women being beaten to death in Iran?

Numpties.

I thought the Greens objected to plastics and man made fibres?

So while the world burns the party (allegedly) for sustainability writes letters to people whose "ideals" really shouldn't be discussed with/near children.

Okay then

Rome, Nero and Fiddle spring to mind.

I'm ashamed to be a GPEW member.

At last! Global warming is solved!!!

You couldn't make it up, could you?

The Green Party have lost their way. They are an utter disgrace.

Never has the phrase 'passed a motion' been more appropriate.

There really needs to be an Earth Party because the Green Party has got lost in the Rainbow.

Good job we don't have a looming climate crisis to worry about.....

This!

Obviously thoughts and prayers are with the drag queen story time community at this difficult time. But if we could perhaps have a tiny look at the situation of women being beaten to death in Iran?

And also this!

What does this have to do with climate change and saving endangered species?

green or rainbow party? What is it with the greens?

I’m guessing they are fully intersectional which mean they will have to reconsider how holding such luxury beliefs will affect the DQSH community.

All that glitter, makeup, dyes and plastic tat?

Also not liking plastic and man made fibres is extremely cis-hetero-normative and therefore wrong!

I used to vote for the Green Party back when they were all about fighting for the natural environment. I believed if they could get a few seats they could only do good in the world by lending votes for green issues. How utterly disappointed I am by what they've become. What about the green issues?!
Drag Queen Story time FFS 🤣

I don't vote for them anymore what with me being a terfy old bigot.

I'm seriously considering leaving the party. For the last year or so I've been on strike in that I don't do anything to help but have kept my membership so I can vote or give my proxy, but this latest things is the straw that's breaking the back

What is the reference to enhanced disclosure checks in that twitter thread by Shahrar? Did someone honestly object to this? If so, what bigger red flag could there be? Surely any credible organisation concerned to shake off any dubious links (including some members in America found to be sex offenders) would welcome enhanced disclosure checking?

The Green Party: for those who never grew out of student politics

Maybe they are worried an enhanced disclosure could come back with some ‘non crime hate incidents’?

Hoisted by their own petard.

The tide is turning, but the cost to the greens will be high as Caroline Lucas will have to face the music😂

Stupid stupid motion. Not wanting DBS checks to work around children is crazy. Also yes drag Queens aren't exactly environmentally friendly are they?
