Errr… of course she has ADHD, she’s doing stand up comedy.

With their latest album… Roguelike.

Is that Pat Sharp in the background? If so that would explain why it looks like you’d drive it around the Fun House.

Thank the gods the US has a hero to fight against making billionaires give up their third yacht. Remember to thank him as your children go hungry Californians.

Yeeeeeah. We’ll see what this means but I prefer Green parties to be radically democratic. It sets us apart.

Wait… Walter Raleigh lived for 130 years?

Amazing and heartwarming isnt it, how all those people who hate the Green party suddenly are loudly and repeatedly telling everyone that the *very* best thing they can do to win elections is get rid of the single most effective leader they've ever had. No ulterior motives there, im sure.

Nothing repels an evil spirit like an O-face. Everybody knows that.

It isn’t Ukraine that needs a new president.

The direction that the finger of blame is getting pointed about this motion isn’t really disproving the notion that Zionism is Racism for me.

On the other hand if people like you leave, what’s left but them?

@alexstaniforth.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:22 AM

Yeah. Perhaps saying it is currently in vogue would be truer.

@alexstaniforth.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 12:25 AM

Yes. Antisemitism and antizionism are not the same thing, though. I have no time at all for people who label all Jewish people with the crimes of the Israeli govt and the IDF.

@alexstaniforth.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 11:56 PM

Well there was that one time. You know the one. The Bronze Age collapse. Fortunately most people don’t know the Sea Peoples were entirely non-binary.

@alexstaniforth.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 11:54 PM

Until I read who posted that I thought it was a criticism. Yes, “Does Israel have the right to exist?” Is entirely the new, “What is a woman?” A question asked by disingenuous people who won’t accept any answer you give them, no matter how clear and concise.

@alexstaniforth.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 11:51 PM

Not 100% convinced those are the words of a friend. Given how well GPEW have done with Zack as leader I am 100% convinced him resigning is a bad idea.

@alexstaniforth.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 5:55 PM

Even taking that into account the vote share increased. Not by a huge amount if you put those two together but it still makes the Greens the *only* party to increase their vote share. I disagree that the motion was deeply racist. It has it’s flaws but I wouldn’t call it racist.

@alexstaniforth.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 4:51 PM

I don’t know. I think Green internal processes are different enough to Labour’s to stop a Starmeresque coup. Of course, this is why that faction are calling for change to internal process but I don’t think they’ll get it.

@alexstaniforth.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 1:26 PM

Greens increased their vote share in Holborn and St Pancras by 20%. If Reform had done that the press would be telling Burnham to shoot foreigners on sight to appease them, but because a leftist party did it the leader’s facing calls to resign because it wasn’t good enough.

@alexstaniforth.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 4:26 AM

Yeah, the Burnham bounce is real but I don’t think it’s going to last long. Certainly not three years.
