Ex-Green deputy leader launches new legal action against party

[IwantToRetire]

Former Green Party deputy leader Dr Shahrar Ali has launched a second legal claim against the party after he was expelled last year.

Ali, who won a landmark case against the Green Party of England and Wales in February 2024, has accused the party of "procedural abuse", and continuing to discriminate against him for his gender critical beliefs.

The timing of the legal action is likely to cast a shadow over the Green Party's conference in seven days, where internal divisions over gender have already sparked controversy.

A party spokesperson said "we do not recognise the vague claims" made by Ali and it was focusing on political work under the new leadership of Zack Polanski.

In February, a judge found that the Greens had unlawfully discriminated against Ali during a row over his gender-critical beliefs.

Good.

If anyone is looking for a garden groundhog Day for Green Party Unlawful GC Discrimination is how you find it.

Must contribute to the above.

Funding court cases which the Green Party will inevitably lose, until it is eventually bankrupted, or finally sees sense, is the way to go.

"In the meantime, the Green Party, with its new Leadership team, are focussed on the real issues at hand - the cost-of-living and climate crises, while working to protect and cherish our NHS against Reform's suggestion to move to a US-style insurance system."

So, still nothing about the environment then.

The "climate crisis" is environmental although of course environmental concerns can and should be broader - mass extinctions, dead oceans, toxic rivers and lakes, environmental degradation from mining, etc. etc.
