It would be very funny if they all defected and the Greens instantly became a much bigger parliamentary group than Reform.

Kiss my face.
Sure
You realise what that makes Labour, right?
It's amazing that a Labour right apparatchik like Lucy Powell, firmly committed to the third way privatisation of her dying party, seems unable to stop being publicly owned.
The Labour government uplifted teacher's salaries, great, but it wasn't to pre- austerity levels. It also wasn't fully funded so cash-strapped schools have had to make further cuts. Beyond your sound bites lies the lived experience of frontline workers like myself. Labour are letting us down.
It's interesting that you just call people liars. Does that win you many votes? The richest in this country have barely been touched by Reeve's changes. The balance has certainly not moved in favour of working people. Working people can't afford private education and healthcare.
Nope, I complained it was getting worse. It is getting worse based on the choices Labour have made not to reform tax so that the richest pay a fair share. In fact they've increased taxes on average earners and refused pay restoration for public sector workers (people who spend in the economy).
Dear Labour
The way to persuade us to consider voting for you isnβt to attack the Greens, but to get your own house in order.
Best wishes
Someone whoβs voted Labour in every GE since 1983, but is currently planning not to.
If a voter is *left leaning* then they shouldn't be voting for the current Labour Party anyway.
Every post about the Green Party going up in the polls on Facebook has a bunch of laugh react emojis from Boomers and can I just say I will love it when we beat dear Nigel & the little π starts turning into π‘
"they wonβt do a wealth tax because theyβre fixing donβt work!" I think you mistyped here.
Respectfully, I don't think we are going to find common ground. You must be very privileged to be happy with this Labour government. I work on the front line of a public service and things are getting worse.
I do. It means the Labour government made a political and moral choice to withhold funds that would keep children out of poverty because they didn't want to create a more progressive tax system. Shame on them and shame on you for cheerleading this shambles.
Youth unemployment up.
Wealth inequality up.
Arrests for opposing genocide up.
Rights for trans people down.
Protections for the environment down.
Starmer's popularity down.
Are you not ashamed of this nonsense? Take a look at the drop in deaths and harm by drugs in Portugal. The Labour Party (of which I was a member until not so long ago) is an absolute sewer.
"When they could afford it."
The child benefit cap was a u-turn: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
It's always cheaper to treat a problem before it becomes a crisis but it's a brave politician who makes that argument - which is why I support the Green Party.
If the Green Party win it on Thursday, which seems the most likely outcome at present, it will be an extinction level event for the Labour party: the tired old line that voting Green helps Reform will be dead and the huge number who want to vote for hope will know what to do.
Literally the only reason being given by Labour to vote for them is to "stop Reform". They have no positive platform of policies. Starmer has done so many u-turns that he's permanently dizzy. Reform winning helps Labour as they remain the bogeyman to galvanize support behind Labour.
Why would that be the plan? Labour are literally implementing Reform-lite policies; they are paving the way for an authoritarian Reform government. All of which is being opposed by the Greens so in what way is a Reform victory a Green plan rather than a Labour one?
If the Green Party ever gets into power, Mail/Express readers are going to be up in arms permanently.
Yeah, that's a good point.
