So far 20 people have written to their Green Party Council (GPC) rep calling for a suspension review! Link: tinyurl.com/LobbyGPC GPC can call emergency meetings to review suspensions whenever it wishes. The meeting that suspended me was called with less than 24hrs notice.
🚨 Important update on my unjust and unwarranted suspension from the Green Party 👇👇 See follow-up post for how you can help. ( 1 / 2 )
This is why Stats for Lefties has died btw. The unjust suspension and smear campaign has caused a severe decline in my physical health (I have ME/CFS) due to the stress and anxiety inflicted on me by the party. I can't do this anymore. The longer it goes on the sicker I get.

How can members help? One GPC Co-Chair is blocking GPC from reviewing my suspension. I therefore have been left with no choice but to ask Green members to email their GPC reps and call for an immediate review of my suspension Use this link: tinyurl.com/LobbyGPC ( 2 / 2 )
‼️I can now reveal that Kai Taylor, the Green official who had me suspended, has links to a transphobic hate group. The group (GWD) is mostly composed of members expelled for transphobia. @kaitaylor97.bsky.social will you disavow this transphobic hate group who helped elevate you to office?
One of the principles of the Green Party is that you should treat members in "good faith" and assume the best of intentions on their part. It's curious how that expectation of "good faith", honesty and good intentions is immediately tossed aside when a trans woman speaks out.
‼️Statement RE my suspension from the Greens. I was suspended for the 'crime' of being a trans woman who ran for a women's place. The "media interest" in my gender was cited as the sole reason for my suspension.
Timeline: 19 Aug - Elected 23 Aug - Suspension proposed 27 Aug - Suspended This was not an objective, independent disciplinary process. It was a panicked reaction to media smears. I was not allowed to defend myself or see the 'charges'. They just immediately booted me.

Response to false and defamatory claims by @LBC and @jhansonradio. Hanson has claimed to his thousands of viewers and listeners that I think antisemitism is "understandable". I never said that, and I demand he apologise and delete the defamatory video immediately. x.com/LeftieStats/...
Delighted to say I have been elected to the Green Party's governing council 👏👏 We must build a radical anti-imperialist party that defends the vulnerable. Enormous thanks to Greens for Palestine (@Greens4P) for their support 🥰 this would not have been possible without them! x.com/LeftieStats/...
