Wow just wow! Sheer callous disregard for attacks upon Kellie-Jay Keen at #Auckland! @rainbowgreens & other Greens *both sides of border* celebrating use of tomato soup as projectile, how else to interpret? Rotten culture, & there was I seeking condemnation from @scottishgreens Rainbow Greens of Scottish Greens referencing use of tomato
Green Party member making explicit the obvious connection, "Are these to throw on TERFs?"

Green parties both sides of border must condemn these incitements to violence & betrayal of Green values of freedom of expression shared equally by women now! Green party member

Why other journos refusing to cover this? Not newsworthy? No, doesn't fit their spineless Guardian woke narrative. But risks were warned of.

Short thread 🧵on #Mermaids, Aimee Challenor & Green Party. In 2016, Challenor, then prominent in our party, organised an open letter to attack Daily Mail for running a story questioning role of Mermaids in a dispute between parents on social transitioning of their child.

Whistleblowing Allegation: Corruption of Green Party Internal Democracy
I have today called for urgent, independent investigation into facts surrounding subversion of will of conference in taking of controversial motion on #DQSH last weekend #GPC22 👇
electshahrar.co.uk/corruption-of-…
As an ordinary member, I write to blow the whistle on evidence of serious wrongdoing in the Green Party of England and Wales and I believe it to be both in the interest of the Party and the wider public interest to do so.
Late motion "Solidarity with DQSH" taken without due authority of conference. There are multiple grounds to believe that this part of a determined effort by some to pass the motion “at all costs”, the chief obstacle to doing so being to make sure that plenary time made for it.

Remember grotesque contravention of @bindelj basic freedom of speech by @MyNottingham in June?
"Violence against women and girls:
Nottingham council apologises to Julie Bindel for unlawfully cancelling talk"
Big respect Julie for this win! 💪🏽♀️👏🏽👏⚖️❤️👇🏼
theguardian.com/society/2022/o…
👉 A city council has apologised to veteran feminist and lesbian activist Julie Bindel after cancelling a talk because of “the speaker’s views on transgender rights”.
👉 She ended up speaking in the library car park and at the time said she would be suing the council.
👉 In a statement at the time, it said: “Nottingham is an inclusive city and as a council we support our LGBT community and have committed to supporting trans rights as human rights through Stonewall.”

Green Party has just passed Late motion Solidarity with Drag Queen Story Time/Hour. Couple of excerpts below - from synopsis & one of action points. #DQSH #GPC22 Synopsis on DQSHPart of Late motion passed by Green Party conference on DQSH
Just to note a few points from debate. I spoke against motion on following grounds
👉 procedurally had not benefitted from full amendments & scrutiny process
👉 motion full of straw men, chiefly conflating far-right critics with others with justifiable concerns
👉 wider context being missed, one in which lifelong feminists such as @bindelj having to take council to court for debarring her from speaking on women's rights in library space. Why weren't we putting motions about this too?

Leaders Q&A have just been asked by member whether they will "unequivocally condemn gender critical belief as transphobic". #gpc22 Leader panel Green Party conference
Adrian's response *by far* most nuanced, opens by saying disnclined to speak in "slogans & soundbites" whilst agreeing with leaders on panel & this wasn't a criticism of them (v diplomatic). Then moves on to reference @thecassreview & to take account of evidence & safeguarding.
Hats off 👏🏼👏🏽 @AdrianRamsay for speaking with nuance & compassion on this topic, whilst recognising needs of interests of all to be respected. Massive breakthrough here on our leadership team for a co-leader to have courage to say this in incredibly hostile environment in party.
