I suppose I'd assume that Councillor McCash, who is, as I recall, a self-confessed revolutionary Marxist, had hoped to take Southwark Labour down his chosen route - when he lost his leadership bid he must then have been looking for a party which shared his ultra-left views (ultra-left at least in the light of Starmer's interpretation of socialism). The Greens, for him, clearly fit that role. After that his timing was all about benefiting his chosen (new) party - at least he didn't stand for Labour and then defect giving the Greens an unexpected 3 year seat. As someone who doesn't share the wings of his political position I don't wish him well (politically) - but neither do I wish him ill as a 'punishment' for his defection. -
Agree with all the sentiments above. Hope it doesn't change too much and above all I really hope it stays independent and avoids becoming the same as all the chain pubs in the area. -
This move won't advance his career in Southwark. He'll have to leave the cabinet now for a couple of months and won't get back on it in May. He might win a council seat but the Greens won't win control of the council and Labour won't have him anywhere near the levers of power. His only (and presumably intended) route for advancement will be for the Greens to offer him PCC seat somewhere in the general election in 2029. By then the Greens will be toast. They might even be finished by this Friday if they don't win the Gorton by-election.
