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.
My posts from the time of the passing of the motion on Facebook. My additional clarifying comment is to say that of course the pursuit of a Greater Israel, as is ongoing, is a violent colonialist project.
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.
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.

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.

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.
When are you lot going to act on the Forde Report on anti-black racism in the party or the reports that Muslims in your party did on Islamophobia? I'll wait.
Between knowing a Rabbi for 15 years, dating Israeli and British Jews, and tech organising with several Jewish comrades in Berlin, I must be on expert mode 🙄 At least I can sleep well at night after watching operatives describe how they systemically eliminated Palestinians.
"will be"
No. People who are decent, politically sound and talented campaigners are leaving and people are abusing them on the way out, which is why I got irate.
I'd hate for you to jump down the throats of members that have left over, for example, unresolved racism or bullying allegations because you think everyone has to explain themselves over opposition to genocide.
There's a much larger break is there? Of those leaving, I will not be one, it's a lot more complicated than you think it is. Get off the internet if you want to blame the people you attack online because of your inability to read up on them first.
Without wanting to air any dirty laundry publicly, there have been unnecessary and avoidable resignations and they weren't about a stance on genocide or violent colonialist expansionism and occupation.
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.
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.
