But Ms Chowns believes the focus should remain on the "effective political electoral party" that already exists.

Effective?

What has the Green Party of England and Wales achieved?

Apart from an increase in transphobia of course.

The Scottish Greens managed to get into government, the English/Welsh Greens are lucky to get more than 1 MP.

If you have a vote in this leadership election, vote for Polanski. Get a fucking left alliance, not more division.

In normal times I would agree.

But this "Labour" party have shown themselves to care not one jot for liberalism.

From the arming of a genocidal state, to making their membership numbers a secret, to proscribing non-terrorist organisations, vastly increasing the surveillance of the internet, and now threatening crackdowns on VPNs.

According to this, the minimum and maximum a teacher can make is roughly the same as a fresh recruit officer to an officer in post for 6 years. A teaching job requires a degree, has an incredibly high turnover rate, and doesn't get extra pay boosts like the police.

An increase in social care, education, and the welfare state reduces crime better than extra heavies on the street, and yet those things are not being funded. Instead 3,000 extra officers will be locking up retired priests, teachers, and magistrates.

The typical salary for a constable who has been in post 6 years will be £50,257 and the average earning for a chief superintendent will be £98,500. In addition to the headline pay rise, the government is also increasing on-call, away from home, and hardship allowances by £10.

The pay boost reflects the bravery, professionalism and tireless dedication of officers who protect the public, and will be supported by £120 million from the Home Office to help protect police force budgets

the government has already provided funding of up to £1.2 billion to police forces this year, including £200 million to put an additional 3,000 neighbourhood officers by next spring.

Buckle up. Keir's authoritarians are bribing the police to get them on side.

Pay disputes with bin (wo)men and doctors. No money to help the disabled. But a fat wad of cash for the police.

The Commission opened a case into the charity after concerns were raised about posts on the charity’s social media platform in October and November 2023.

The posts commented on the recent escalation of conflict in the Middle East. One provided information on what to do if arrested at a protest and advertised the services of a specific private solicitor’s firm. Another featured a graphic cartoon which seemed to criticise media reporting of the conflict. A third post included another cartoon suggesting the media misrepresents the situation in Palestine.

Hmm...

Unfortunately I don't see every post that's ever posted to Lemmy, so yes I missed it.

Thanks for the link though.

These guys sound totally unbias...

Show this stupid fascist that his extreme bigotry is not welcome here. Show both Scottish and British politicians that we won't tolerate their appeasement and engagement of fascists.
