When @ZackPolanski is saying "Vote for Labour and you get another Labour MP who will tow the party line, but vote Green and you get an MP that's going to hold Labour to account" is a great argument for voting for the Left of politics.

I know there are a few @mdg folk on #allheimen, so what's your take on this? Is there in-fighting in the party? Or is this just a bit of media drama?

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/17/young-people-mission-to-plant-a-ring-of-trees-around-london?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other This is inspirational. Intelligent use of brownfield sites. Planting trees, encouraging biodiversity, around London! This is the way to build resilience ... JD Vance is on wrong side of history ...
@urlyman I often get this when I suggest we should all fly less (or not at all). People say the government should act, while refusing to change their own lives, and think that using air con will solve all issues. Government needs to see people are willing to change before they'll do anything, and they need to be pressured from all sides. It's worked in the past, so I try not to despair!
@rhys OK, I'd better not over react to headlines then, and read the article. It's hard not to get annoyed by anti Net Zero stuff. I despair as people drive and fly around our heating planet, all while they demand more air con to compensate for their actions.
@DaveWhittle Absolute idiot. I suppose inevitably he's lost all contact with real life, and seemingly all common sense. Best not to despair, but keep fighting for climate friendly policy. Thank goodness for Attenborough, Thunberg et al. I wish I had more faith in Polanski.

Bennett argues that there is a distinctive Green political philosophy, distinct from but sharing many characteristics with socialism.
In my view the claim is problematic, as I explain in this review.

"Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory in New York’s Democratic Party primary for mayor in June 2025 and victory in the general election on Tuesday has provided a dose of hope to a Left seeking a path forward amid a dire political landscape. His campaign succeeded by offering real solutions to working-class concerns — including on climate policy and its connection to New Yorkers’ material conditions.
The climate crisis is heightening the cost-of-living crisis. As a political issue, climate has become less of a priority with voters, with the economy surpassing it in poll after poll since 2019. But this does not mean that people have stopped caring about the climate crisis. The pressing affordability crisis is front of mind for most. People need to believe and see the climate crisis not as an economic burden but as an opportunity to make their lives more affordable. Mamdani’s campaign did this with a laser focus on material improvements in working-class people’s daily lives through climate action via promises like fast and free public buses.
Although the Mamdani campaign has not framed his buses proposal in terms of public democratic ownership, the focus on rebuilding the capacity of an already existing public institution, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), to act like a public good through public investment is in line with public democratic ownership. After forty years of neoliberalism, many public entities function like private corporations, prioritizing revenue over public service. Mamdani’s plan challenges this trend.
Simultaneously, fast and free buses is also the exact climate policy necessary to curb greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the number of cars on the road. Public democratic ownership should not be seen as a silver bullet, but rather as a democratic mechanism that offers the ability to plan and intervene for the public good ..."

Real leaders defend people, peace, and justice. Trump defends billionaires, war criminals, and far-right thugs who attack migrants and minorities. He denies climate reality while our communities suffer. Northern Ireland must stand with courage, equality, climate action, and communities - not with bullies, tyrants, or their enablers.
