Zoe Garbett - Green mayor for Hackney

What do we know about Zoe Garbett (Hackney’s new Green mayor) in the context of gender identity politics? I assume she must be full on TWAW or the Greens would have ex-communicated her/Walter Titty wouldn’t be seen with her, but is this correct?

"We will defend and protect the rights of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities and continue to campaign for full legal rights and equal access to services for trans people, particularly in the wake of the 2025 Supreme Court ruling."

Zoe seems to be unaware that trans people already have the same legal rights and equal access to services as everyone else.

As an ex Hackney resident, I'd say that many in Hackney thoroughly deserve a Green council (with apologies to all rational, responsible Hackney residents 😃)

Ex-Hackneyite here as well (now E. Anglia), with the total transformation of the area in two decades to the youngest median age in London, likely the country, it's no surprise it's gone this way.
Maybe the first thing Mayor Garbett will do is bring regulations in to stop the shrinkflation of food and especially coffee in the cafes on Broadway Market and in/around Victoria Park.
Other than that, maybe there'll be a wave of dyed fringes on residents to show their love and devotion to their new leader. At least hair salons might do well under The Greens.
Notable also that Norwich has gone Green insane as well.
Again, youngest area by far in Norfolk, a very LGBTQ/pro illegals type of place.
Makes me miss the days of Labour insanity in the 80s, Ken Livingstone's GLC, nuclear free zones in Lambeth etc.
They were rocket scientists compared to the Green age of Idiocracy.

Do people like her think the muslim activists in the Green Party think TWAW, I always wonder?. Because I haven't met may Muslim people in RL that are particularly open to the idea of gender fluidity, and certainly none when I lived in the ME. How do they reconcile that if not?

They don't care. Of course, in work and media-exposure situations, a gender critical will be pulled apart for their skepticism.
But when it comes to Muslims, because of the Gaza situation, and this leftist trope that Western societies are Islamaphobic, the Top Trumps Game Of Intersectional Victimhood is in play again, Muslims get a bye on any views on trans that whitey would get cancelled over, because whitey is bigoted against trans AND them.
Combine this with the atheist/blank slate basis of socialism, that whole peoples can be taught to be less bigoted by living under a progressive umbrella, and thus any "old fashioned" views Muslims might have on trans will be diluted over time as they progressively replace their faith with progressive belief.

They really believe that all the practicing Muslims that have joined the Green party will eventually 'see the light' and go against centuries of religious doctrine and agree that men can be women? I mean, that seems very unlikely. And why are people like the Muslim deputy leader of the Green Party going along with it and happy (ish) to stand next to what, in their religion, is someone that is exhibiting grossly offensive sexual behaviour? Are they really fine with it? If not, why are they pretending?

I just dont understand how such diametrically opposed people - ultra liberal hard left socialists and enthusiastic practitioners of a religion that has very firm and rigid segregation between men and women and what they are allowed to do, can band together in one political party with common aims. There must be an agenda at play.

Oh, for Chris Hitchens to see this moment in time.
When even his ultra-cynicism would be shocked at the idiots gaining ascendance in the Greens, and the idiots voting for them.
Idiots begetting idiots.
And where does the landlord-class of Green Muslim councillors and the Green voters who hate the landlord-class for immiserating them intersect in The Venn Diagram Of (Previously) Irreconcilable Differences?
It's like the Horseshoe Theory becoming a boomerang that flies back to hit on the back of the head anyone who voted for these charlatans.

Never apologise for lowering the tone.

Yeah the landlord thing has already seen off Iqbal Mohammed and Adnan Hussain from Your Party.

"I'm not anti Muslim I just hate transphobic landlords" is the new "I'm not anti Jewish I just hate Zionists" on the left.

Btw here is another pic of Dave and Zoe

As usual, the facial expressions of those surrounding the horrendous crime scene (lol) speak a thousand words.

Apparently calling oneself "queer" is no defence against creeps.

Who knew?

As Zack would ask, is she incorrectly "perceiving (non) safety issues"?

Sheesh, the usual tropes, lies and made up on the spot statistics in Zoe's biography there. TW 57% less likely to visit the doctor than other people? Pleeease!

I would have thought they spent significantly more time with the GP than most! Back when I used to lurk on TransUK Reddit there were a lot of posts about seeing the doctor and giving each other ideas what to say in appointments!

I thought the whole point of hypochondriacs was to effectively camp in the GP surgery. And the trans condition is nothing if it's not hypochondria.

He's not even a fully registered Boob Whisperer. What have we come to as a society?
A woman should want her quack to have all the right certificates on the wall before they fleece her.

I was listening to the News Agents podcast on Birmingham City Council. There is a Gaza Independent that called Zack Polanski a ' deviant', and the Green group has said they will not work with them. The Greens nationally are absolutely delusional if they thing the hardline Muslims they have embraced like Mothin Ali don't think the same. His wife certainly knows what a woman is when shes shrouded head to toe in black. I think it's absolutely correct that they think they are there to educate the silly Muslims into believing in Trans rights and realising God doesn't exist. Good luck with that!

Yes didn't Zahra Sultana say she was campaigning for Palestine to be a Secular socialist democracy? Sounds pretty imperialist to me to impose your Western Socialist atheistic ideals onto a foreign country?

the pro trans groups and strict religious groups can be united by homophobia. In Iran, it is illegal to be gay but sex change surgery is permitted and probably used to convert poor gay men to “women” who are then acceptable partners for rich gay men.

This is absolutely what is happening in Iran. They have the highest number of gender reassignment surgeries in the world. Its not because they are so trans inclusive. Its Gay conversion therapy. The Lefties who are applauding this don't want to mention this obvious fact.

IwantToRetire · 09/05/2026 19:50

I think most are ignoring what is the most likely reason Hackney went Green.

To get Labour out.

Most interviews on TV and Radio news, not just Hackney, were all motivated by giving national Labour a good kicking, even if their local Labour councillor had been okay.

So the idea that everyone who voted green has signed up to even the green part of the green agenda (if there is is a green part) or any of the other Green statements is just pointless.

Even Waltham Forest went green. And I dont think anyone predicted that.

Haringey also had the majority votes for the Greens, but no overall control.

This is just London doing what outside London is doing in voting Reform.

Getting rid of Labour locally because Starmer and national Labour are so despised.

(edited to add one man interviewed in WF even said he never read a leaflet, didn't know anyone's names, just ticked the Green boxes.)

This is what will ultimately destroy them.
