On Monday, Oxford City Council near-unanimously supported the Green Party motion which made clear our city stands against the far right and against regressive migration policy - from banning asylum seekers from working to scrapping family reunion.

Speaking to me at #TUC25, Green MP @carladenyer.bsky.social said: "It's clear that the Green Party and the trade union movement are very strongly aligned in our vision for what needs to change in the UK"
Greens have ‘better aligned values’ with trade unions than Labour, Carla Denyer claims

Green Party members: I'm keen to hear who you're voting for in the leadership and executive elections.

In lieu of Bluesky having a poll function here is where you can indicate which way you're voting:

Carla is explicitly referred to in the paragraph you've quoted from.

Just to be clear, the piece doesn't attribute the Greens' electoral success to Adrian Ramsay over Carla Denyer. It's an article about Adrian, not Carla - hence why I've dedicated a lot more words to him!

I'm not sure what about the below paragraph is 'aggressive', but I'm sure others can draw their own conclusions!

I've also not mentioned Molly Scott Cato in the piece because it's not an article about Molly Scott Cato and she has nothing to do with the central argument.

A few thoughts on the Green Party leadership election for @left-foot-forward.bsky.social on the eve of voting opening
Adrian Ramsay’s success could be the reason for his downfall
Has the Green Party's success under Adrian Ramsay's leadership opened the door to Zack Polanski's more ambitious leadership bid?

Slightly late to the party, but 2024 was a great year for new music. To my mind, these were the 10 best albums of the year.

1. Sprints - Letter to Self
2. English Teacher - This Could be Texas
3. Mumbles - In the Pocket of Big Sad
4. @thecure.com - Songs of a Lost World
