@LeftieStats There are some weak answers in here but they did not say they want trans women banned from sports. Ellie has also said elsewhere that specific participatory criteria should be down to specific sporting federations (not verbatim).
No need to exaggerate to the point of misleading!
@JacamoRed @AndyBTravels@seatsixtyone My train arrived somewhere around 10am last year (before the schedule change, so technically 3.5hrs late), I think the timetable update is perhaps a reflection of the reality of what was already happening. The attendant suggested it was usually this ‘late’.
@rachelmillward@TheGreenParty Hi Rachel,
The ‘Get Campaign Updates’ link on your website doesn’t seem to go to a sign up form, it asks me to log into Action Network and just takes me to a generic dashboard.
Good luck. Very glad you’re standing!
@Big3Tennis Although, a handful of people do still queue overnight in order to be the first people to enter the Grounds and join the… resale queue, on the off chance that people leave super early from Centre Court.
Finding a space on Herman Hill is hard enough on the final Sunday.
@Big3Tennis Basically no chance queueing for Centre Court from semi-finals onwards. Last couple years, ~400-500 Court 1 tickets available on the day in the queue for the final four days, and whilst extremely rarely there have been a random ~10-20 Centre Court tickets available… nope.
@RachelFeather10@AaronBastani Green Party Leader remains largely a spokesperson role without any specific operational power other than one of many seats on GPEX. Therefore, electing the most suitable spokesperson for our next probably targets is tactically superior to electing good constituency campaigners!
@RachelFeather10@AaronBastani Were Carla and Adrian responsible for ‘building teams’ in our 4 targets last year? Of course they helped in their own two seats - but was it not primarily down to GPEX/elections staff allocating resources and then local staff building teams, fundraising and running campaigns?
I still hope that Ellie and Adrian will continue to be strong constituency MPs and I think they can win again in 2029 in spite of any shift in national strategy. Becoming Leaders won’t make them more likely to hold their seats - they won as local candidates and can do so again.
Gaining ‘unwinnable’ seats like Waveney V. and N.Herefordshire was undoubtedly highly impressive, but also an unfortunate necessity in 2024 as our previously dire GE results had left us with no obvious targets.
In 2025, this is no longer the case…

… but not with the same cautious approach. We need to exploit the many electoral opportunities we have in what will be Labour-Green battlegrounds in 2029 to maximise our expansion.
4x TTW was the right thing to do in 2024, but a new electoral context demands a new approach.
