gosh i wonder why he said that
Funny, Reform is actively opposed to worker's rights, and the Greens want to codify more worker's rights than Labour (and with fewer loopholes).
So the focus on the Greens in this context is nonsensical, though the motive is transparent.
It also reinforces the old cliche that centrists hate progressives far more than they oppose fascists.
Ironically centrists do a lot better in non fptp systems, since people tend to compromise more, but labours stuck believing in a system that for the first time isn’t benefiting them, and they’re not ready for change.
