RE: @LondonGreenPrty Exec Elections
Thank you to the Returning Officer for the personal call to apologise for the error. I await their final decision on what action to take, but I'm confident that they will be preserving the integrity of the election.
I have made a complaint to the Electoral Returning Officer due to being missed off the ballot, while being included in the Candidate Statements and being emailed to confirm that I am a candidate in the @LondonGreenPrty Executive Elections.
I hope to hear back shortly.
Grateful to my first 8 endorsers from across London Green Party 💚
They include local party chairs and officers past and present, and campaigners for environmentalism and equality that I have huge respect for.
You can also endorse me at forms.gle/ratG7xzLotHduQzg7

Easy to use Twibbons have long departed 😢 however, I do have multicoloured framing options to support me over at Twibbonize, if you'd like.
Deep Green option - twibbonize.com/deep-green-ma…
Light Green option - twibbonize.com/light-green-m…
Yellow option - twibbonize.com/yellow-mark-w…

Lastly, all endorsements including some lovely words penned by some of those people who've given their support will be available on my website at markwhiley.com.
Currently they exist as a slider, but as more content comes, it may develop into a separate page.

Announcing my bid to be the next Elections Officer for @LondonGreenPrty.

It takes a certain type of brain rot and/or flagrant dishonesty to argue that a Jewish lawyer being interviewed by a Jewish journalist and praised by another Jewish journalist constitutes a campaign against Jewish children – but that's Ben Kentish for you!
Labour groups. If you have any metaphorical balls like Sheffield, you will follow suit. You do not have to be lackeys to the Labour NEC and put your local areas into the hands of austerity parties.

Labour MPs celebrating El-Sayed's victory is the height of political hypocrisy.
A politician with his positions on Israel and Palestine would be smeared as an antisemite, hounded and deemed unelectable within their own party.
They'll applaud his politics in America while doing everything in their power to silence the same politics in Britain.
The audacity of it.
I hope that before people initiate or join pile ons in future, particularly against ex Green Party members, they take a bit more time to consider who they are talking to. I know at least 2 cases with elected reps in the last month that had nothing to do with conference motions.
Those of us who are actually in the party and deeply involved know that there is a lot of work to be done in resolving disputes efficiently, often around interpersonal issues, and some people just quit before they're even given a confirmation that a complaint has been received.
Sending 💚 to Elliot this evening. He alleges that his local party threatened him for advocating for Palestinians, for calling for more housing, and not being an inclusive space for neurodivergence. He's getting piled on by people who are assuming something else entirely.

🧵1/2: Labour is playing politics with peoples lives.
Greens have always gritted our teeth and worked across party lines to protect local services. When Labour armed Israel, when they backed warmongers in Riyadh, we put aside national politics and worked for local people.

Well. We shall see what Adrian says - I hope this is misreporting. But can we be clear that there is no contradiction between speaking out for human rights and for nature. Why on earth would environmentalists tolerate genocide? Humans being nature after all! People and planet. Both.

Veteran Israeli actress and longtime patriot Chelli Goldenberg declared live on air: “I’m no longer proud to be Israeli.”
She condemned Israel’s occupation and settler violence, then abruptly ended the interview upon realizing she was live—only to return and apologize.
Farage's allegation: Lib Dem MPs rounded on him and engaged in a "physical altercation". And his card was removed for sitting in the Chamber.
Or: He shoved a Lib Dem MP out of the way to get a place in the procession for the Kings speech. And his card had no date so was taken.
Exclusive:
Nigel Farage's "physical altercation" during the State Opening of Parliament was with the Lib Dem MP Caroline Voaden - and has caused an major row between Reform and the Lib Dems.
Lib Dem sources say Voaden was left "shocked and shaken" after he "shoved" her to secure a place in the procession of MPs to the King's Speech.
Video from the Commons Chamber that day shows Farage and Voaden making their way down from their benches together.
Voaden reported the incident to the Serjeant at Arms and says Farage was asked to apologise - but hasn't.
A Reform spokesman denies any wrongdoing by Farage, saying "it was the Lib Dem MPs being aggressive towards Nigel". Lib Dems say that is "utter nonsense"
Farage said yesterday that the "physical altercation" was the reason he didn't put up a fight to be in the Chamber for the Budget after his prayer card to save a space was removed.
He said he thought that after the row with Voaden, it was "better to avoid conflict".
But in a further twist, a Commons spokesman says Farage's card was only removed because it didn't have a date stamp, which are required to reserve a spot.

Pretty grim stuff from an estate in South London where a housing association sold the homes to a property management company which is now attempting to push through evictions and convert the houses to HMOs

It's a busy news day, but this from Haringey is outrageous.
Today the Regulator of Social Housing published an inspection, and it turns out the previous Labour council seemingly misled them about thousands of fire-safety issues in local council housing.

Solidarity and thanks to @EdinburghGreens MSP Kate Nevins, @labourlewis, @nickdearden75, @SamTarry and @larabirdsnp who tried to get into the West Bank from Jordan to help with the olive harvest today, but were turned back by Israeli soldiers.
I have been detained by Israeli security forces all day. Along with with MPs @labourlewis, @larabirdsnp, MSP Kate Nevans, former MP @SamTarry and campaigners from across the world, we were turned back because they don’t want anyone seeing their ethnic cleansing.
