Big thanks to Austin Barber for an absolutely fascinating lunchtime tour of the #HS2 site at Curzon Street. Hearing about how the scheme is enabling new green spaces, tram networks and hub-oriented residential development. #GPC21 #GPConf 1/n 
This is sustainable development in action. The location of the new housing, located next to Curzon Street and other public transport hubs, means that it has *zero* car parking spaces. This is how we tackle car supremacy. #GPC21 2/n
And thinking holistically, the density of the housing means fewer fields built on at the edge of town, where public transport is also more scant. #GPC21 3/n

"The Green Party is extremely concerned to learn about the clinical practice of GenderGP in its treatment of patients reporting gender dysphoria, as exposed by the @Telegraph Investigations Team (26 Feb 2021) . . ."

". . . and in an open letter by the General Pharmaceutical Council (@TheGPhC, pharmacyregulation.org/news/our-respo…), which explained their enforcement actions against two of GenderGP’s partner pharmacies in the UK, Clear Chemist and Pharmacyonline.co.uk (10 Feb 2021)."
Delegates to #gpconf please take a look at this Late Motion which would Prohibit private clinics from exploiting NHS moratoria on the prescription of puberty blockers for gender dysphoria. electshahrar.co.uk/late-motion-pr…
Lest there be any doubt about necessity of a motion such as this - just this evening someone openly advocating for patients to bypass Tavistock "shitshow" using internet pharmacy. I'm shocked by their responses to my probing see thread below
Looks like there may be a story around Gender GP patient safety in tomorrow's Telegraph hence this pre-emptive post by the former which is anything but reassuring. gendergp.com/uk-media-promo…
Greens consider rejection of IHRA take on antisemitism
morningstaronline.co.uk/article/b/gree… Motion tabled by Shahrar Ali. If passed, it will make the Greens the first political party to officially reject defn which has been widely criticised for seeking to silence criticism of Israel. #gpconf

Shahrar Ali told Morning Star: “The IHRA definition is rightly controversial as it promotes conflation of legitimate opposition to Israel’s brutal oppression of the Palestinian people and human rights abuses under international law with unjust allegations of antisemitism."
“Greens know it is necessary to fight racism in all its hateful, ignorant forms, including anti-Jewish racism.”
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has threatened to withdraw funding from universities if they refuse to adopt the definition.

Poll result after 173 participated. 83% favour @TheGreenParty rejecting IHRA definition. This March 1-7 2021 we will have the opportunity to do just that & to fight both antisemitism & all racism including that perpetrated by the state of Israel upon Palestinian people. #gpconf
Motion to #gpconf includes following text:
"Greens are at the heart of building a movement against racism and fascism, and there is no place for antisemitism, Islamophobia or any other kind of racism in our Party."
"Greens are at the heart of building a movement against racism and fascism, and there is no place for antisemitism, Islamophobia or any other kind of racism in our Party."
"At a time when the far-right is growing in confidence it is more important than ever to stand against Holocaust denial, anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and any other forms of antisemitic prejudice and hatred."
Calling Party members - this weekend please prioritise two motions to #gpconf which would put paid to IHRA & defend Palestinian rights instead.
And reminder below for those intent on ad hominem attacks against lifelong antiracists - not something I'm going to take lying down.

You can hear Kenneth Stern author of the IHRA repudiating misappropriation of the examples here - recent debate Dec 2020
You can read David Feldman director of @PearsInstitute for study of antisemitism on how the IHRA is counterproductive on its own terms theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
"They call us monkey because we are black." @GreensofColour
"The monkeys want their independence now."
Despite being on the same side as shady folks like @IEAlondon and @the_TPA, allies against climate chaos (like @TheGreenParty and @ExtinctionR) still oppose HS2...
I'm going to do a little thread of threads explaining why this is really scary 😬

@iealondon @the_tpa @TheGreenParty @ExtinctionR Before we kick off, there is no better explanation of the point of/need for HS2 than @joncstone's recent piece in the @Independent (independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…) so definitely give that a read first.

Next, the bigger picture... Transport is now the UK's biggest source of GHG emissions, and it is still getting worse.
There are lots of underlying reasons for this, but fundamentally it is because too many people/things use road transport.
