A great shame to see four members of @greenpartywomen stage a planned resignation at tonight's meeting with a pre-prepared email to the members they are letting down. /1
The remaining @greenpartywomen committee have put in lots of work, holding successful events for all women - whatever their views. /2
We're confident the remaining committee will continue to support women's sex-based rights and to work collaboratively with others who prioritise a different kind of feminism. /3
Those who've resigned are continuing their preferred approach of expelling and shunning women who support sex-based rights. #nodebate in action. /4
We wish @GreenPartyWomen committee well and are looking forward to now being allowed to hear more about their support to lift up women in politics and in life! /5

How NOT to run a political party's democracy - a lesson from Green Party Spring Conference. 1/6
On Friday night a vote on whether a motion to purge feminists from the party should be on the agenda was held - but not counted. A decision was made - very quickly and without debate – to re-run it Saturday at 10.30am. 2/6
The vote of Saturday will be taken by people who have not heard all the arguments. Many of those who did hear all the arguments and attended on Friday are women with children who are not free to attend on Saturday mornings. So their votes will not count. 3/6
There’s something rotten at the heart of the London Green Party. Here’s a thread about what’s been going on… 1/13
Back in November 2020, the London Federation of Green Parties held an election for who should represent London females on the Green Party Regional Council (a powerful body in the Greens). 2/13
The contentious issue dividing the candidates was whether #sexmatters in law and in the lives of women and girls – or whether gender identity should matter more. 3/13
