@ox_anna29 There’s the caveat that John Simmons has been there for almost 2 years, not 1 week.

(Green Leaders meaning Greens in leading positions of councils)

[Josh Mitte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇬🇧 @JoshMitte]

Interesting that in South London all the Green Leaders are people who were elected as Labour councillors in 2022.

It makes me wonder if the Greens simply didn’t flourish their own talent.

Remember when Lambeth Labour suspended @Martin_Abrams for defying the whip on Gaza?

He’s just been elected Leader of Lambeth Council….for the Greens.

Extraordinary.

[Josh Mitte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇬🇧 @JoshMitte]

@cambs_socialist A failure by them. In Cambridgeshire the LDs have always been very reasonable, even working with greens at county level. In London, last night we saw Lambeth Greens get the leader in another traffic light council.

Camb City Greens’ failure to achieve a deal when others didn’t.

Oh how they butchered you.

A great way to set up a Chinese-like social credit system, say it’s only for criminals and later expand to everyone. Can’t buy an extra drink! Bad for NHS.

While a perfect way to push criminals into arms of gangs who can give cash to feed addictions.

Evidence-based who….

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: The Tories have pledged to give criminals on benefits payment cards which block purchases on alcohol and gambling

They would also restrict cash withdrawals and bank transfers

@mactellomckeown it’s what they’ve done in Brent…

@Alishacmlewis @AaronBastani @gemlpaterson From my side, thinking in politics I’ve found it easier to make change in bigger groups, say region-wide, than local.

So taking that to planning matters, think is more efficient to push for law changes & mayoral vetoes than to fight 50+ planning applications as small/lone voice.

[Josh Mitte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇬🇧 @JoshMitte]

@Alishacmlewis @AaronBastani @gemlpaterson I’d also assume most young people can’t afford to live in soho, and if they can they probably have jobs that live little time to spare to more work instead of an evening off or a social call.

And there’s of course, ageism, which makes it hard to give up time to be shut down.

I grew up in Southwark and it remains the home of relatives. I’ve helped families deal with the council, primarily navigating housing issues.

After failures and neglect from Labour, it’s great to see a fresh team that will fight for residents and stand up to Starmer & Sadiq.

[Southwark Council @lb_southwark]

Southwark Green Party and Southwark Liberal Democrats have formed a Joint Administration to run Southwark Council.

Tonight’s Annual Council Assembly (Thursday 28 May) elected Councillor James McAsh, leader of Southwark Green Party, Leader of the Council.

Councillor Victor Chamberlain, leader of Southwark Liberal Democrats, is Deputy Council Leader.

@coyleneil Labour has run Southwark for years and the housing needs and safety of local people have only fallen.

I had to help someone after they were about to be wrongly evicted under the Labour-run council.

You have voted in government to cut welfare support and London’s funding.

[Josh Mitte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇬🇧 @JoshMitte]

@ThatGarthGuy @CarlDoran13 I’ve always been of the view that putting red tape against Sanchez made it extreme on one side and less sustainable, as fighting with just one party for same space.

They could’ve been centrist and then governed many communities and the country if they had been more bipartisan.

[Josh Mitte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇬🇧 @JoshMitte]

@ThatGarthGuy @CarlDoran13 My point on Cs was about being drunk in success that they thought they were doing all well and ignored the red flags and alarm bells, to the point to when it was too late and that fragility broke.

[Josh Mitte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇬🇧 @JoshMitte]

@ThatGarthGuy @CarlDoran13 I do think small parties often get drunk in success and miss the vulnerabilities of “lost potential” and fragility of wins. Cs peak and got wiped out in a matter of months.

[Josh Mitte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇬🇧 @JoshMitte]

@ThatGarthGuy @CarlDoran13 Polls also hides vote inefficiencies, the green vote is too concentrated atm. They did very well in certain areas but failed to realise expectations in others, don’t forget that Labour and the Alliance once had a quite similar vote share but the seat disparity was of 3-figures.

[Josh Mitte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇬🇧 @JoshMitte]

@ThatGarthGuy @CarlDoran13 Well not really cos winning 5 extra is not the same as winning 27 extra.

As I said “rarely”, if one wants to gamble on Farage that’s up to them. In Spain Podemos tried that, they lost ground and the far right shot up considerably, so the lost even more of the negotiation power.

[Josh Mitte 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇬🇧 @JoshMitte]

@ThatGarthGuy @CarlDoran13 I’m not a Labourite so not gonna defend that lol, but the truth if every green were Labour then the tories would not be in power. If voting green means putting tories or farage in power they have an issue.

Smaller parties rarely able to win if rerun national election.
