A sign from Aylsham. Much less friendly but still made me smile.

The Ground Game is Back In an era of fractured politics and collapsing trust, grassroots organising offers the left a path to victory.

The Greens are offering a different kind of politics – one that offers a sense of solidarity, camaraderie, and agency in an age of individualism.

Contests like this don’t just give us hope. They make us feel we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.

I'm researching for an article on how local @greenparty.org.uk (and groups in the GPEW) could do collective social activities. Are there any groups that have reading groups/book clubs; walking/cycling groups; cookery clubs; crafts and skill-sharing activities etc? Please let me know.

As long as it's "manly" poets like Hemingway, Kipling and Wallace Stevens then you can probably get away with a quick mention.

If you want to save money on tickets for this year's Treehouse Festival (@treehousefestival.bsky.social) then you only have a few days left. That’s because the Early Bird offer stops at the end of January and tickets will become full price. So get your skates on!

Greens look set to clean up as Labour switchers move left Labour voters liked the insurgent party even before the arrival of their new leader. As local elections approach, Zack Polanski appears ready to break through in the areas Keir Starmer neglected

There was a stream of people who used to vote Labour now voting Green.

"It has now become a torrent."

I'm compiling a list of history books that of interest to
@greenparty.org.uk supporters. Already got E.P. Thompson, CLR James, Christopher Hill and Eric Hobsbawm titles. What would you recommend? Especially interested in non-Western histories and the histories of marginalised people.

It's an honour to hold elected office for the last 4 years & to continue this with our 4 new MPs for the last 10 months.

I'm ambitious about taking on a failing Labour Party and sending many more Green MPs to Parliament.

REFLECTIONS ON THE 2024 AUTUMN BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENTS - Landworkers Alliance We are a union of farmers, growers, foresters and land-based workers with a mission to improve the livelihoods of our members and create a better food and land-use system for everyone.

Also this from the Landworkers Alliance (again saying kind of the same thing as Ramsey and Shrubsole so there's a 'left' theme developing here). I'll stop bothering you now.

Also I would put @guyshrubsole.bsky.social on the broad left and he seems to be making much the same point as Adrian Ramsey.
