BREAKING NEWS: KAFKAESQUE.
Former Green Party deputy leader suspended by Green Party on anniversary of 7 October for criticism of Zionism is Racism motion
Today I was told by the Green Party that I have been suspended again.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the latest Kafkaesque machinations of it all.
I'm already taking the party to court for the second time on grounds of unlawful protected belief discrimination and the main exclusion is due to be lifted in November 2026 even ahead of conclusion of trial.
It feels very much to me that the fanatics in the party are determined to prevent me from exercising my rights as a member and have been allowed to run riot again.
My latest thought crimes are retrospective in nature, for having criticised the Zionism is Racism motion in Spring earlier this year, imploring people not to vote for antisemitic candidates and warning about the damage that would be caused to the party by continuing on this trajectory.
In a week in which the Party has been ungulfed by an antisemitic crisis of epic proportions, it seems I should rather have been commemded for accurately predicting the electoral cost of passing that motion.
Instead the party would shoot the messenger at a time when the party needs all the critical friends it can get to course correct.
As ever, I am defiant in the face of self-evident injustice. I am not the one who has brought the party into disrepute by calling out the disreputable motion and the harm that would be done to the party and wider society by passing it.
The greatest irony of all is that the Party has chosen the anniversary of 7 October to suspend me for calling out the rise of antisemitism in the party. You really couldn't make it up.
We have been told by Polanski that nobody will be disciplined because of this motion. Yet for standing in solidarity with Jews discrimated against by this motion, the party has sought to do just that to me.
What the party has clearly underestimated again is my resolve to expose corruption and unlawful discrimination in our party political institutions.
