The AWL have terrible politics (quite zionist apart from anything else) so I've always been a bit sceptical of her given that association, she is definitely on the left of the labour party but that is a low bar these days haha
I think it's unlikely someone with that ideological background would join the greens, but she may have changed her positions
Alliance for Workers Liberty. Trotskyist Sect that does (did?) entryism into the labour party
Nadia was heavily associated/a member when she was first selected as an MP
Also, personally I think rather than the usual names being thrown around it's much more likely to be e.g. Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Apsana Begum. I think Whittome is too AWL-aligned to join the greens but who knows
And when I say most, I mean all tbh
who the greens choose to accept as defectors from the labour party will be a big test for their moral and ideological backbone. Most labour MPs shouldn't be touched with a ten foot pole, and have chosen to stay in the trans genocide Enoch Powell party for several years at this point

don't forget the true, original meaning of international women's day: workers of the world, unite.
Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.
Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.

“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”— @nondriver.bsky.social

Oh my god. Perfection
NI MOST DANGEROUS PLACE IN THE UK FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS Series of talks warning teenagers to be on their guard for early signs of violence and control in relationships Sunday Life8 Mar 2026Angela Davison That was the message delivered to a group of pupils at South West College (SWC) in Dungannon at a workshop on gender-based violence. The interactive seminars, held at colleges across Northern Ireland, are designed to spark conversation about, and raise awareness of, the signs of unhealthy relationships. They also teach students what to do if they, or someone they know, is suffering abuse. SWC student governor Ryan Kearney told Sunday Life: “The idea stemmed from my campaign to be elected as student governor. “Unhealthy relationships and gender-based violence are common and can be down to multiple factors, including the rise of online misogynistic messages by the likes of Andrew Tate. “A friend of mine was a victim, and I noticed she had changed and wasn’t her normal self. Her boyfriend became more controlling, manipulative and tried to isolate her.

I just got out of a call with @laziah.bsky.social (thank you again, Sophie, for accommodating our time difference and sharing with me ❤️) and I need to encourage everyone to rally around her and her community. I can't stress enough that this is vital for trans allyship/solidarity: gofund.me/5c7123cd8
Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour was us asking nicely for your permission to improve matters somewhat, for everyone. I don’t know who the next guy will be but having seen how the lads dealt with us asking nice, we won’t ask so nicely, next time.
If you don't want the city centre of Belfast to further resemble a half dead shopping mall comprised of soulless chains, you can spend a minute of your time filling this survey out in defence of Yallaa who have been doing an unreal job running their cafe in 2 Royal Avenue. We've enough Starbucks.
Facebook comment thread OP: I was there at the ALDA that she spoke at. I might even have a video. She claimed to be an independent, yet she tried to link trans people with r/w misogyny. She later tried to cover herself by claiming that if she saw a trans person that she'd intervene, but the label doesn't match the contents of the tin Reply: right wing misogyny? What om earth? Could you give any further details? OP: She didn't give any details
Comment: No “sectarianism” involved whatsoever. This is, inevitably, a highly disingenuous account, which omits the important fact that at no time was Valerie or anybody else denied the opportunity to put forward their position, and indeed they did so on several occasions. The no confidence vote was actually originally proposed by Valerie in herself. The reason the situation escalated is because Valerie misrepresents her position (she does not believe trans women should be able to use women’s facilities and supports “separate but equal segregation”) and that her supporters on the OC, including its secretary, deleted messages they didn’t like, despite being such advocates for free speech. The problem with the “gender critical” movement is that it can’t take criticism itself without descending into the gutter, throwing a tantrum, red-baiting and god knows what else.
Comment: The final vote on a separate motion of support for trans rights was 35-5-5 in favour, indicating the real story. No sectarianism, just a healthy democratic debate and vote. Nothing to see here! Reply: thanks, you were present at the meeting? Commenter: appreciate that isn't the general rule in this place but yes I was at the meeting and so not engaging in speculation
All I know is the post from Tariq Ali, www.facebook.com/100000946684... and these comments from an old leftist spotters group on fb
Anyone else remember when Israel blew up the Evin Prison in August, killing over 100 transgender prisoners in the largest single-day slaughter of trans people in human history
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LET A FINE GAELER RUN THE LABOUR PARTY
It is still happening. No country is stepping in. Cuba has helped so many movements and people around the world and they are being abandoned to die
Screenshot from Omid Djalili on Twitter replying to Zack Polanski re the Israeli bombing of a school in Iran: Nothing is proved yet Zack. The fact that you are spreading misinformation is appalling for someone in your position. To date no one has been allowed to see any evidence of casualties or even the site itself. The regime says it's America or Israel. The Americans say they were nowhere near the area. Here's what Iranians inside Iran say: IRGC blew it up themselves to fill it up with dead bodies of children they've kept on ice hidden away in cold storage from the January slaughters to put on display in order to blame their aggressors. The fact that we have not seen the evidence yet is a red flag as we know the regime would have gleefully paraded those images on television and all over the internet. Most probably they were caught on film transferring the bodies hence why there is now a media black out on this story, as well as a full internet blackout. As Iranians we know how this regime operates. We're talking about new levels of evil. So any narrative like the one you are pushing Zack actually supports the regime in their "don't care how many die as long as we
Whew boy, “Iran planted the frozen bodies of dead children in the school and then blew it up themselves” is a fucking HELLL of a take

Seeing from the rest of this thread that this isn't unprecedented for Omid (I hadn't been paying attention to him so hadn't seen his previous transphobia) the radicalisation and conspiracy brainrot of those still on X is quite something
