@danhind I'd also like to hear from @RLong_Bailey who did some fantastic policy thinking in shadow cabinet

[Kit @kitdjones]

@lukeakehurst Corbyn saved the labour party and starmer destroyed it.

People forget how stale, bankrupt and remote from people's lives labour had become before Corbyn took over.

Corbyn gifted starmer a whole new generation of labour voters. Starmer set about alienating us all.

[Kit @kitdjones]

@sallonsax Oh yes, that too! But what I really meant was that labour MPs dislike Compass in relation to the Labour Party.

[Kit @kitdjones]

@GreenRupertRead @daisyeastlake Your statement is totally reasonable. In line with the approach already being taken by the national party.

Is it important for Greens to have some kind of voice in the by-election though? To keep pressure on Burnham over electoral reform, climate and economic policies?

@wesstreeting Any politician who thinks the police are beyond criticism really isn't doing their job.

@LengMicky Most greens were in the labour movement until you made it clear we weren't wanted.

[Kit @kitdjones]

@BennClips @AllyFogg Like, even those on the furthest right of the green party, if it has such a thing, talk about this stuff.

[Kit @kitdjones]

@BennClips @AllyFogg That's an interesting example as I don't think I've ever heard a green politician talking about wildcats, but locally available, nutritious, affordable food is something greens have been talking about for a long time - since we'll before the recent turn to working class politics

[Kit @kitdjones]

@SkyNews @BethRigby Gee, nobody has ever asked him about those things before.

[Kit @kitdjones]

@implausibleblog I don't understand why these people become political journalists when they are so incurious about politics.

[Kit @kitdjones]

@AaronBastani You can't keep the triple lock whilst also having low migration.

@helensclegel I didn't leave but I did propose a motion to condemn it to my clp (which unfortunately got blocked)

[Kit @kitdjones]

@jimthegiant I agree. Intuitively doesn't make sense to me. What we care about is levels of inequality across the whole society, not within a business. If a business with rich execs outsources low paid roles to another business with low paid workers, how is society any better? @ZackPolanski

[Kit @kitdjones]

@M_B_Levin @Tony_Diver The green party has the lowest level of antisemitism of any party you numpty.

And the people hounded by the media with false accusations need support, yes.

@_DaveTalbot You missed out the bit about having the most popular policies and being in second place, the main challenger to reform.

[Kit @kitdjones]

It's not a surprise that we are seeing more and more tradespeople and blue collar workers standing for the green party. Plumbers, electricians, builders, carpenters - we are exactly the people needed to build a green new Britain.
