Julie Bindel at UnHerd on the transformation of the Greens from a party committed to saving the planet – especially the whales – to a party obsessed with ideological purity and gender ideology:

The Green Party was once defined by its defence of science. Its reputation was forged in the battles against climate denial, nuclear propaganda, and industrial greenwash. Once a force for good, filling a gap left by every other political party, today, it is unrecognisable. It spouts idealistic purity of little use to the working classes it affects to stand up for. As Peter Ungar points out, “The Greens became a mainstream party without a reason to exist. So they invented one: narcissistically driven identity politics.”

The cynical promotion of Gaza-obsessive Mothin Ali as deputy leader adds another grim element to the mix – Islamist grievance. “We will NOT be silent. We will raise the voice of Gaza. ALLAH HU AKBAR!”. As we’ve seen, parties of the left who think they’re being smart by allying with Islamists may find themselves taking on more than they bargained for.
