Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: βA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.β I suppose I shouldnβt be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said βwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.β She said βmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when β¦
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Astonishing that the US president thinks he can issue commands to the leaders of foreign nations, including allies.
Countries need to keep telling him βnoβ. Sovereignty matters.
Gorton and Denton showed that people are desperate for a different kind of politics.
But Labour have doubled down: with smears, misrepresentation, and BNP-inspired migration policy.
How low will Labour go? π
When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.
He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.
Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war.

Migration is part of what makes this country great.
We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.
The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

Handouts to oil and gas firms while people face likely bill hikes.
Reckless and irresponsible at a time when we should be doubling down on renewables not cutting tax to fossil fuel fuel giants.
We need a plan to protect people from the coming price shock.

The Green Party has been consistent on our position.
We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.
And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.

The problem wasn't really the negative campaign.
The problem is that it was a smear campaign based on lies.
And still Labour aren't offering any solutions to the highest drug deaths in Europe.
Let's have *that* conversation.

I really hope the Speaker lets Hannah Spencer ask a question
It's fascinating to watch cooler Labour heads like Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham say that comparing the Greens and Reform together is a terrible tactic.
Yet Labour ministers are hourly on shows keeping up the same narrative.
The Green Party and Reform are completely the opposite!
Polanski's reboot has brought the Greens back to where they should have been for decades β like in the rest of Europe. The problem was, due to the David Ike fiasco in 1991, UK Greens became desperate to appear "sensibly suburban". That made them an outlier. But now they've regained their edgy USP!
The surge in the Green vote is no surprise. It's part of a resurgence of left wing politics that's happening in many countries as a reaction to the far-right power grab by the super-rich. But unlike previous left wing politics in the UK, it's pro-EU and firmly placed in 2020s rather than the 1970s.

>uninterested in learning about what works as Polanski is
Yes because 'what works' has been working out so well for us over the past 40 years.
The Greens are gaining popularity because they dare to question if 'what works' actually works.
We are tired of the neoliberal rulebook.
The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.
The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.
"The polling suggests that the Greens' appeal is broader than white collar workers. Those classified as doing "routine" jobs also vote Green in significant numbers"
For some reason, I feel like the media is going to be more cautious with the term "working class" than it's been with Reform...
