I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.

And then refused a second time!

Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

Labour need to learn immediately that they will never be extreme enough for some people. Not everyone can be appeased.

flyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 3d

It’s grimly amusing how this government incurred horrible political damage toeing the US line on the genocide, to the point where ministers will be twitchy about going through customs for the rest of their lives, and their reward is far right wingnuts and fascists screaming abuse at them.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

Was so wonderful to hear a party speak so humanely about people and the challenging circumstances they are in. Your speech compared to this is human being vs. corporate programming lines, it's honestly night and day. One resonates with me and gives me hope, the other I roll my eyes and carry on.

Do you see how anyone can play this stupid game, and the line of whether it’s taken seriously and reported as a deadly crisis or not is whether reporters want to make a big noise about it.
