An intense argument with a Reform spokesperson who seemed determined to prove every stereotype true. The takeaway? Reform is the party of the ruling class. The Green Party is the party of the working class.
The “paper of record” running hit pieces on anti-imperialist academics. I do wish I were surprised rather than exhausted.

Fuck the bigots at the Times
Ashok Kumar 🇵🇸@comrade-kumar.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Times are running a hit piece on me over a Green Party motion opposing sanctions on Iran and some tweets of mine. They contacted my employer and asked for my response. @thetimes.com I’m publishing my statement here so people can read my position and principles behind it in full.
If Burnham stops arming genocide, stops imprisoning those brave enough to try to stop it, ends new oil and gas, imposes rent controls, and renationalises mail, rail, water and energy, no one would be happier than Green Party members, despite it hurting us in the polls. A debate:

A heated debate! on why Burnham’s proposals are weak, symbolic politics, and why only the Green Party’s plan to tax wealth, control rents, and bring water and energy back into public ownership can tackle Britain’s structural inequality.

My hope is Burnham doesn’t continue Britain’s disastrous “special relationship” with the US: bombing country after country, enabling war crimes, and getting impoverishment in return. There’s no evidence he won’t.
Andy Burnham says he wants to end neoliberalism but backs being “pro-business”, rejects rent controls, supports more oil and gas, bigger defence budgets, and opposes renationalising water and energy. Only the Green Party opposes neoliberalism in both words and action:
With Shabana Mahmood as Chancellor, David Miliband as Foreign Secretary and James Purnell as his chief of staff, Andy Burnham’s government is shaping up to be the most centrist since the Cameron/Clegg coalition

My motion for peace through diplomacy, not sanctions and proscriptions, at Green Party national conference is in The Spectator They cant address the substance: failed policies of sanctions and escalation that inflict suffering on the Iranian people and ended in a humiliating defeat by US and Israel
In 3 mins I explain why Reform is in terminal decline:
I’m taking a motion to Green Party national conference opposing proscription and sanctions against Iran. Peace through diplomacy, not escalation. The Green voice on this has been far too quiet. If you’re a Green member, log in and comment in support: autumnconf2026.greenparty.org.uk/std/From-Con...

NEW ARTICLE: Denmark is often celebrated as a template for phasing out fossil fuels. Yet in this new article, I coin the term “fossil-fuelled leadership” to conceptualise a phenomenon where climate leadership on fossil fuels is twinned with continued extraction. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

There isn’t a single policy difference between Burnham and Starmer. He’s surrounded by the same blairite flunkies with the same cabinet. In many ways Burnham is worse. He voted for the Iraq War, opposed investigating it 17 times, trebled tuition fees and backed every austerity measure
The “corridor of sanctuary” is coming soon to London. The Green Party opposes a culture of fear that deters victims and witnesses from coming forward. We prioritise removing rapist and child molesters from our streets over targeting domestic violence survivors who overstay visas
Makerfield by-election tomorrow. Four months ago, a Manchester by-election delivered a Green win. The Greens were attacked by Labour for speaking out on Gaza. Now those same voices want you to believe Andy Burnham, who hasn’t said a word on Gaza, would be different. Vote Green.
