part two: 2014 – 2019
January 2014
Ruper Read, philosopher and green activist is forced to apologise after posting that the use of the word “cisgender” as the opposite of “transgender” troubled him. Accused of transphobia, a concerted vendetta starts against him. Part of this orchestrated campaign are some 10,000 accusatory tweets. He is forced to recant like some medieval heretic.
This incident can be considered as a milestone in the closing down inside the Green Party of free speech and the abandoning of science and reason relating to biological sex and gender.
March
The concept of Intersectionality makes its way into the party’s narrative
“We live in a racist, patriarchal, heteronormative, imperialist, classist, transphobic, disablist, xenophobic, ageist world. If we aren’t the person being oppressed by any one of those dynamics, then society is built in such a way as to encourage us, unthinkingly, to perpetuate them. Simply by standing still in our place in the pyramid, we squash those below us. Those injustices which stubbornly survive do so like genes or memes not so much because of those who mean to perpetuate them, but because of those who do it unthinkingly”. Adam Ramsay, member Bright Green Editorial Board.
The idea of a hierarchhy of oppressions and “unconscious bias” thus makes its incursion into the party.
September
Trans gender extremist Natalie Bennett is elected Leader of the Party. Defender of women’s rights, Shahrar Ali is elected Deputy Leader.
Conference approves a motion which rewrites the party’s Philosophical Basis to privilege social justice.
The synopsis in the preamble reads : “Our Philosophical Basis should reflect Green principles of social justice and put our struggle for equality and democratic control of resources at the centre”.

Conference agendas word searches reveals that there were more references to “LGBT” than there were to “climate change”
December
David Challenor joins the Green Party.
The Challenor’s father/child relationship sows the seeds of a major scandal that brought huge discredit upon the Green Party as Aimee had been interviewed by the police in 2015 and therefore knew about the case, but nevertheless, was allowed to appoint her father to be her election agent in Coventry in May 2016.

September
Natalie Bennett stands down as Party Leader. Caroline Lucas and Jonathan Bartley are elected co-leaders, thus, arguably, depriving Deputy Leader Dr Shahrar Ali the opportunity to become Leader.
Birmingham Conference -“ Recognising Trans Rights” motion proposed by Aimee Challenor, with support from non-binary Carla Denyer, transgender woman Kathryn Driscoll and 29 proposers, is approved.
This anti-scientific mantra which declares that biological sex is the same as gender marks a sharp turn into the GPEW’s journey towards becoming the UK Transgender Party. As a reminder, it reads as follows:
Synoposis
This motion would affirm that the Green Party believes that the identities of Transgender People are Real and Valid, and that we shall respect them.
Motion
Insert into Rights and Responsibilities, under Trans Rights, RR520, keeping this policy at the top of the Trans Rights section and renumber accordingly:
RR520 The Green Party recognises that there are many Gender Identities, that are within, and outside of the traditional Gender Binaries of man and woman. The Green Party recognises that Trans Men are Men, Trans Women are Women, and that non-binary identities exist and are valid. We shall respect transgender and non-binary people’s identities as real. The Green Party shall include, and push for further acceptance of, transgender and non-binary people within all areas of society “.
October
Neurodiverse Clare Lorraine Phipps and partner to Matt Hawkins is elected chair of the national Green Party Executive Committee.
According to our source, Matt Hawkins told Clare he had managed the communications issue regarding the David Challenor’s horrific crime with the press office. Clare Phipps response was to contact Aimee and focus on supporting her personally. She subsequently explained she did not speak to the the CEO, Nick Martin, whom she line managed, about the charges because she saw it as a communications issue. She believed that the communications team would have told him if they judged it necessary. Nick Martin told members of the Executive that if he had been informed the party would have taken action in accordance with its safeguarding policies.
Two years later, David Challenor was convicted and jailed for 22 years.
Wave of books aimed at promoting identitarianism amongst children eg ‘Who Are You ?” come in the market as is a Kid’s Guide to gender Identify aimed at three year olds
November
Matt Hawkins is re-elected as external communications co-ordinator. When he received the message from Aimee Challenor on 5 November that her father was charged for kidnap, rape and the torture of a ten year old child, he emailed three members of the communication team to tell them that “a very close relative of one of our spokespeople has been arrested. I can’t really share with you the full details… but in case anyone does get in touch about it we do know about it and just raise it with me”.
Matt Hawkins is on the record to have regretted not asking Aimee Challenor for more details of the charges against her father and not asking if he/she was a member of the party. His first instinct was to look after Aimee and to give her re-assurance that he would handle issues.
This was a clear breach of party rules as officers are required to inform the party of anything that may bring the party into disrepute. It also ignored the child safeguarding implications of the case.
Green Party member Andy Healey is dragged in the court by David Challenor ( on bail at the time ) and Aimee Challenor. He faces accusations of transphobic harrassment. The case was subsequenlty dismissed.
2017

The idea of Common Interest groups emerges.

Later suspended again for 2 years, Andy is eventually driven out of the party, There is a parallel campaign against whistleblower Dawn Furness, member of the Executive.
The international declaration the ‘Yogyakarta Principles + 10’ is published.
Those are influential in transgender circles, if not widely known. On closer examination they contain many contradictions. Robert Wintemute Professor of Human Rights Law at King’s College, London, a key member of the panel has since aknowledged that the voice of women had not been listened to, thus causing much harm to women as a sex and women’s rights.
“Remarkably”, he confessed, ” the co-chair of the YP10+ committee was a woman, a Brazilian sexual rights activist named Sonya Correa ” and added : ” She views the biological differences between men and women as “fundamentalist” and “a 19th century western construct,” and holds up the Yogyakarta Principles as a model for laws because they do not mention the word “woman.”
In 2019, Robert Wintemute lent his support to Maya Forstater wrongly accused of transphobia because of her belief that trans women are “not women” in her landmark case under the Equality Act of 2010.
Controversy over Black Lives Matters leader appearing to label white people “defects”.
2018
Matt Browne is elected GPEX secretary.
Formal complaint are submitted by trans activist Richard Firth against former Deputy Leader Shahrar Ali and feminist Beatrix Campbell with allegations of transphobia.

June
Aimee Challenor stands as a candidate for Deputy Leader of the Green Party.
August
Aimee Challenor’s Father David Challenor is sentenced to 22 years in prison for raping and torturing a 10-year old girl.
Internal campaign against former Deputy Leader Shahrar Ali starts to build. Beatrix Campbell is also subject to parallel attacks. She will feel obliged to leave the party in 2020.

Julie Bindel declares that the Green Party has a “woman problem’.
September
Jonathan Bartley and Sian Berry are elected as co-leaders.
Olivia Palmer, twice a GPEW parliamentary candidate is suspended for alleged ‘transphobia’.
Conference : Theo Simon proposes a motion “for a renewal of GPEW`s democratic structure” to address concerns that a unhealthy culture had arisen within the party “.
The motion was prompted by the actions of extreme transgender activists, which it was felt, had caused many decent and tolerant members to leave the Green Party and had been a toxic distraction from more important matters. It stated that it was high time that the problem was addressed before even more harm was done.
The proposer was able to rally co-proposers from every side of the opinion spectrum in the Green Party including Dr Rupert Read, Shahrar Ali, Beatrix Campbell, Judy Maciejowski, long time GP exec member Dee Searle, veteran anti-nuke campaigners Linda & Brig Oubridge, Land magazine editor Dr Mike Hannis and over 60 others.
The motion falls off the agenda. This marked the beginning of an all too familiar pattern as will be observed for motions deemed to be on the ” wrong side” of identity politics and gender ideology.
December
Scottish Green trans extremist Magie Chapman joins Bright Green editorial team
2019
January
The Verita report is published which points to serious flaws in the party’s safeguarding policy and its implementation.
Green Party Women adopt a new constiution which gives ” gender variants ” the right to vote. Transwomen and non-binary members who are also active members of the LGBTIQA+ Greens and Young Greens take control of the committee and proceed to disband it.
This marks the end of biological women’s right and freedom to organise as a sex within the Green Party. Refusing to accept that sex and gender cannot be conflated is now deemed to be transphonic and therefore in breach of the code of conduct. The purge of heretics will now commence.
December
All members but one member from the Holistic Review Commission Task Team resign due to “the unfettered control of SOC has over so many different aspects of our decision making it impossible to bring about any meaningful change “; quote from Martina Weitch’s report : the Holistic Review: What went wrong?”
