Emotional Support Lasagne @emotionallasagne.bsky.social · Jan 25

Not too long ago I made an utterly ridiculous tentacle mask and a couple of psychedelic shirts for my partner to wear in his band (The Eerie) and I still think they look sick af.

The more I listen, the more my jaw hits the floor.

Boris Johnson and everyone complicit in this deserves to go to prison. The Conservative party deserves to collapse and I hope they do.

Holy shit. Listening to this right now and the numbers are mind boggling.

How did billions of £££ worth of unused #PPE literally go up in smoke?

@russellscott1.bsky.social wonders why no one has been held to account for the UK's biggest ever waste of taxpayer's money.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

Tfw you realise you're arguing with a racist bigot Charlie Kirk hard-on mega fan on the Internet and have a sudden block-and-move-on brain recalibration.

Not got time for that shit in my life, noooo way.

Anyway join the green party if you want your life to get better 👍✅

Small boat crossing makes up just 5% of total net migration in this country.

Greens want to stop the boats in favour of safe and legal routes which I am strongly in favour of.

I hardly expect to change the mind of an obviously racist islamaphobe though, so you have a nice (shitty) day now.

There are plenty of white British born rapists in this country too. Closing borders is not going to stop rape from happening but funding our public services properly (police, courts etc.) as the Greens want to do properly, will.

Your arguments don't stack up.

Challenging the concept of borders is not the same as immediately removing border control.

If you stopped swallowing all of the right wing media scaremongering, maybe you would understand that migration is a net positive contribution to the economy.

Just a reminder that the greens have gained over 20,000 members in the past 8 DAYS.

On the 5th of October, we were told we were on 85,000 members.

On the 13th of October, we have been told we are on 105,000!

Absolutely incredible.

Funny thing that. Since when was making life better for ordinary people a radical thing?

We can definitely expect evidence based policy from a man who was best pals with an ex-party leader who took bribes from Russia... 🙄

Emotional Support Lasagne @emotionallasagne.bsky.social · 1d

Compared to what? A guy who has a long history of being best buddies with a man who took bribes from Russia?

Or a the red & blue Tory men who lie to your face every day about how they want real change while slashing public services and making your life harder?

Yeah I know which one I'd prefer

Also as a vegan who is vegan for the animals AND the environment, having a vegan green party leader means a huge deal to me. More evidence it's not just words, it's action too!

Outside of the vibes/headline, what do we think of this? Have we just lost some of the member led democracy we are so proud of in the Green Party?

The Green Party has taken a big step away from democracy

'The proposal treats members as voting fodder to legitimise the diktats of the leadership of the party.'

When the press produces a daily stream of ‘invasion’ stories, or seizes on individual incidents involving asylum seekers as emblematic, it sells fear and scapegoats, writes Jonathan Lis
