Ok, at this point I have to ask: did I miss some news about someone saying they'd call the next GE early? Otherwise it's about 2.5 years away, and we're talking polls, coalitions, and promises from Labour about electoral reform and revisiting Brexit already.

I'd like to see more news about what is being planned before the next election.

From The Independent:

While Mr Polanski had wanted the controversial motion to be amended, he has pushed back against claims that it was antisemitic.

Earlier this week he posted on social media: “As a British Jew, I'm deeply concerned about the cynical blurring of Zionism & Judaism. Whatever our political differences, Jewish people must never face prejudice or discrimination. So after the Labour government apologised over Gaza: why are they still arming Israel?”

I agree with him on this one, personally.

I have my own reservations about the motion, but it isn't really antisemitic. I think calling something "antisemitic" is simply used as a shortcut to discredit anything they don't like related to Israel and Judaism. There's never any reason given for something like this being antisemitic, it "just is".

The word "antisemitic" has been weaponised and worn out to the point of meaningless now.

The Greens are the only mainstream political party in Britain speaking out against an ongoing genocide. As such there is literally no other party I can bring myself to vote for.

What a bell-end.
