Before Zack became leader it used to be called the Grccn party, etc etc.

To be fair, the Green party's leader used to specialise in entities.

I'm fairly approachable. Was just curious. Anyway, asked and answered.

I think some of their members have targeted sites within the Jewish community that concern me. But I think I'd need more info before deciding to describe PA that way. Is there a particular reason you decided to ask me that? It seems quite random, given that, AFAIK, we've never spoken before today?

They weren't banned for being antisemitic. They were banned because, after a damaging a bunch of sites (some of which had clear links to the Israeli military, others far more tenuous), they shared footage their members took showing themselves infiltrating an RAF base & damaging military aircraft.

I would suggest that "we won't make our game available on X-Box because Microsoft is a key BDS target" sounds kind of stupid when your game is very much playable via Windows.

The Lib Dems have now said: "Decisions about local council arrangements are made entirely by local councillors on the ground, who know their communities best." So in other words, a cop out. Good to know, I guess.

I'm glad that individual MPs have criticised it. I included that criticism in a story I wrote the other day! That is sadly not the same as a publicly declared position by the party itself.

Yes. If the pensioners - or anyone else, for that matter - held up signs saying "I oppose the genocide in Gaza", they could do so freely. It's the second sentence, specifically referring to Palestine Action, which are the grounds for arrest. Which Zack is perfectly well aware of.

He hasn't posted this on BlueSky, which is why I'm screenshotting. A bunch of us are victims of antisemitism every day. You lead a party which just very specifically voted against an amendment designed to protect Jewish party members who attend a Synagogue. Wind your neck in.

If you specifically announce you'll to donate earnings from your books to an organisation designated as a terrorist group (instead, say, one of the many legitimate charities helping in Gaza), then no, I don't feel any sympathy when your publisher says it will stop selling your books here. Sorry.

New More in Common polling has Reform UK in third place and the Greens down at 7%, which I think is now officially below where they were when Polanski took over as leader.

"So you were rage-baited by a Jacobin headline"

Haven't they heard that requiring people to be on time is itself a marker of Capitalist/Colonialist oppression???

Yes, I'll be here all year - and if you're in Plymouth, so will HMS Protector
