  1. The Labour Party had the highest party membership in Europe (including Belarus lol) under Corbyn.

    The bloke has no appeal whatsoever to the majority in almost every seat in the UK parliament. Another waste of breath.

  2. Some wild numbers for the Greens in recent days.

    100,000 members for the first time in our history, a 55% increase since Polanski’s victory SIX weeks ago. We’re on track to beat the Tories’ 123,000 members by Christmas.

    We also polled 15% for the first time in our history, while most pollsters put us above 10%, which didn’t even happen during the Theresa May omnishambles in 2019.

    I have no idea how many councillors we’re going to win next year.

  3. It’s so nice to not be politically homeless anymore! Finally a party that inspires and provides hope and not fear. A party that wants to focus on tackling the real minorities that are destroying our country (the mega rich). Im proud to be part of this new green wave 💚

  4. Honestly polanski is such a breath of fresh air, its weird to feel optimistic for once

  5. Genuine question, how reliably do these membership numbers seem to translate to results? Be interested to see the correlation etc. Appreciate, a while to go to the next election.

  6. Doesn’t matter how many members you have if you can’t sit their ass in parliament.

  7. Havnt the greens kept seamingly agreeing with the torys so basically just torys but who like the enviourment

  8. Some pretty impressive numbers in such a short period of time. It’s nice to hear an actual left-wing voice challenging the bullshit that Reform put out.
