At this rate, the Green Party of England & Wales will overtake Labour UK in membership numbers by the end of the month, possibly sooner if we take it that many of the new members are defecting from Labour.

It's an extraordinary thing to behold!

Love this post from @pluralistic highlighting how politics in the UK appears to be moving to Greens vs Reform as the previous major parties are dying.
I like how it frames the opportunity such as when Labour replaced the Liberals.

I don't often talk politics but recently I (like many many others!) joined the #greenpartyUK since I feel at least I should show my support to a cause that actively is trying to make life better for everyone. Not just for the wealthy or the "deserving" or the ones who gave you ££.
And @ZackPolanski is the person who is able to elaborate all that with such clarity. I have signed up to volunteer locally too so finally looking forward to the future with a glimmer of hope.
