Red-green alliances have been massively successful around the world. We can either get bogged down in purity debates about whose political vehicle is THE BEST ONE ™️ Or we can accept there are now two, learn from successes elsewhere, get on with the work.

“Co-lead the founding of a new party” is precisely what Zarah’s statement said, so, yeah.

I’ve seen the prospect of a new party announced by Zarah Sultana described by numerous commentators as “far left”. I want this 👇🏻 to end. I want *any* UK government to stop it. Stop for a second and think about how terrifyingly out of control things are if that’s “far” anything

The UK govt’s “call” for an end to the suffering of Gaza while they do nothing is at this point an insult. Labour MPs with any conscience, condemning from the sidelines is useless. Resign, defect, vote no confidence, use whatever levers open to you, NOW. Before they all starve

Front page news. British people do not want this. NOW WILL YOU ACT Keir Starmer?

“Unless”?

I got some new stuff out to buy today if you’re interested in that. It’s Bandcamp Friday so if you buy today 100% of the revenue goes to the artist. I’ll also be taking my music off Spotify very soon so if you want to find my records they are all here too gracepetrie.bandcamp.com

Arguing about tactics and being terminally online about the new party before it even exists is giving me 2016 flashbacks. The movement required to meet the moment Britain faces right now doesn’t have a second to waste on any of this.

Maybe it was all just a psy-op to get everyone to join the Greens

For Christ’s sake, it is spelled ZARAH. There’s no excuse at this point for not knowing that if you want to have a say on all this

It’s Your Party and I’ll cry if I want to

"I bought Alanis Morrissette's Jagged Little Pill when I was 12 and it was downhill from there, heterosexuality-wise." Grace Petrie takes on our Random 8 Q&A: comedy.co.uk/live/random8/g…

Nobody wants this. I am by this stage despairingly used to Starmer announcing policies designed to flatter the far right, but even they don’t want this. It’s like he is trying to lose?

It might be the first time I’ve seen Starmer say something right: we ARE fighting for the soul of the nation, and history will NOT forgive him if Reform win. But if he really cared about that, he would step down; it’s the only chance Labour has to hold on

It’s a fair and obvious and irrefutable point.
