Greens expel activist Shahrar Ali who won discrimination claim
A senior activist who won an unlawful discrimination claim against the Green Party of England and Wales has been expelled and told he cannot return for at least two years.
In February, a judge found that the Greens had unlawfully discriminated against Dr Shahrar Ali during a row over his gender-critical beliefs.
Ali, who is a former deputy leader, was awarded damages of £9,100.
The Greens were also ordered to pay him a further £90,000 in costs in September.
He has now been excluded from the party for a fixed term of two years as a result of complaints made about him in 2022.
The Green Party has said it would not comment on an individual case.
It is understood that some of the complaints against Ali related to a social media post he shared in July 2022, in which he suggested that teaching the concept of transgender identity to two year olds was a “danger to children”.
In a message on X, he quoted a post by the campaign group Stonewall which said that research suggested that “children as young as 2 recognise their trans identity”.
Ali added a comment which said: “Off scale of safeguarding risk. Would we teach 2 year olds concept of schizophrenia?”
The party has told him that any future readmission would be conditional on him publicly retracting tweets that had been complained about, apologising and undertaking safeguarding training.
He was suspended from the party in August this year after separate complaints about comments he made on social media relating to the row about the Olympic boxer Imane Khelif.
Ali claimed there had been flaws in the disciplinary process which resulted in his exclusion and accused the party of “corruption” of “breathtaking, Kafkaesque proportions”
He intends to appeal.
A Green Party spokesperson said: “We don’t comment on individual disciplinary cases.”
The party removed Ali as its spokesman for policing and domestic safety in February 2022 for allegedly breaching the party’s Spokespeople Code of Conduct.
At a hearing in February, a court ruled that Ali’s removal was “procedurally unfair” because the Green Party had not identified any code breaches at his dismissal.
Judge Stephen Hellman said he could not rule out the possibility that this unfairness had been due Ali’s gender critical beliefs.
But the judgement found political parties can remove spokespeople for holding “beliefs that were inconsistent with party policy”, if done through fair procedures.

A big week ahead and a chance for a government reset
There is a big week ahead.
It will mark the end of the post-election chapter in British politics and the beginning of how the coming years are likely to feel.
A week on Saturday, the Conservatives will elect their new leader.
Rishi Sunak, a symbol of what went before, will finally exit the stage and his successor will enter it – and so become one of the central characters of the years ahead.
And on Wednesday, the highly anticipated and long talked about Budget will be published.
The Conservatives trying to sort themselves out in opposition and the Labour Party trying to sort themselves out in government have defined the four months since the general election.
Incidentally, in the interview I’ve just done with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, he was at his most animated when I put it to him that his party seemed to be struggling to adjust to the realities of government.
Sir Keir leant forward towards me as I read out this list:
“Can I address that head on?” he said, before pointing to the early work the government has done to try to kickstart the economy.
It felt like I had touched a nerve.
Privately there are Labour folk frustrated at what they see as a stuttery start to their time in power.
They hope the next week can reset things – and shape the political landscape ahead.
First, though, for the prime minister – and those like me reporting on him – a body clock-smashing, jet lag-inducing, totally exhausting 20,000-mile round trip to the tropical south Pacific.
Little wonder Sir Keir is the first sitting British prime minister to visit a small Pacific island nation – we were on a plane for 28 hours to get here, and we have still got to get back.
The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting happens every other year and is a staple for prime ministers.
Sir Keir told me it was an important event for the UK, with the King and Queen here too – and pointed to the collective economic might of the Commonwealth’s members: a combined economic output of $20tn (£15.4tn).
This region, the Indo-Pacific, is also seen as increasingly economically important to the UK, post-Brexit.
Before we know it, though, the long schlep home will begin – via Hawaii, California and Winnipeg – and Westminster’s tilt towards the Budget will become total.
The confirmation from the chancellor, long hinted at, that the government is re-writing its rules, its choices, on borrowing and debt isn’t a surprise.
Its formal announcement, after weeks and weeks of hints, is part of a strategy to avoid surprises that could spook the markets – remember that is exactly what happened two years ago and it finished off firstly the then-chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, and then the prime minister, Liz Truss.
What else can we expect? Some spending cuts and some tax rises, particularly on those seen by the government as relatively well off – some of those, perhaps, who pay capital gains tax, inheritance tax or have significant pension savings, for instance.
They want to take what they see as difficult decisions early, with the next general election miles away.
“I believe in running towards problems,” Sir Keir told me. “If you know what the problem is, what the challenge is, every business knows this, every family knows it, run towards it and fix it.”
The challenge for them will be how that dash towards perceived problems goes down. Does it solve political problems for them, even if someway down the track, or create more?
Is this next chapter in politics one the government can own, shape and dominate, or will they continue to be buffeted by missteps and a new-look but shrivelled opposition opposite them?

Why the next Tory leader needs to go Cornish
Next Saturday we will finally find out who the Conservatives have chosen as their next party leader – and the leader of the UK government’s official opposition.
The two contenders, Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick, are both seen as being on the right of the party, and their core messages, on immigration and cultural issues, seem designed to win back support from Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
But the new leader will also need to do something about the votes the Tories lost to the Liberal Democrats and Labour in July’s general election, if they are going to restore their party’s battered fortunes.
Few parts of the country illustrate the challenge the new leader will face better than Cornwall.
The county used to be a sea of Conservative blue. Until recently, the party held all six Parliamentary seats.
But the tide turned in July’s election, and they were all washed away.
The Tories lost four seats to Labour and two to the Lib Dems, while Reform UK took votes across the board.
In the market town of Liskeard, which sits in a constituency the Tories lost to Labour, Richard Dorling chairs the South East Cornwall Conservative Association and spent time during the election knocking on doors and hearing voters’ concerns.
“They’re looking for people to take charge and reduce immigration and stop the boats, and Reform have a very strong story for that,” he said.
“Whoever gets into the leadership position is going to have to come up with a new plan to tackle that, and get the voters back.”
While some Tories argue addressing the concerns of voters attracted to Nigel Farage’s party is crucial, others have warned against tacking to the right to counter the threat posed by Reform UK, for fear it will permanently alienate more centrist former Conservative supporters who turned to Labour or the Lib Dems.
When Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick became the final two candidates, it was widely seen as a signal the party would shift to the political right.
Connor Donnithorne, who stood for the Conservatives in Camborne & Redruth but lost to Labour, said focusing on the party’s position on the political spectrum was the wrong approach.
“You need to be in the common ground of British politics if you want to win,” he said. “That doesn’t mean you have to be in the centre, or the left or right.
“If we go down that path over the next five years, we’re not going to win again because you’re too focused on the internal politics of parties that the overwhelming majority of people in this country don’t actually care about.”
He argues that the party needs to focus on “common ground” issues such as “controlled immigration, lower taxes for working people, and supporting small businesses to create jobs”.
“It’s about having credibility, it’s about being in touch with what people want and it’s about delivering what say you say you’re going to deliver,” he adds.
It’s not just their fractured voting base the new Conservative leader will have to win round.
Kemi Badenoch or Robert Jenrick will have to unite a parliamentary party that’s been publicly arguing over its differences for years – and has been pretty adept at ousting leaders.
In reaching the final two, neither candidate won support from a majority of MPs, so whoever wins will do so knowing only around a third of the parliamentary party backed them.
Nick Craker, a Conservative councillor in Cornwall, said the leadership candidates need to focus on policies that unite the Conservatives rather than those that have the potential to divide them, including Robert Jenrick’s plan to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and “culture wars” confronted by Kemi Badenoch.
“The idea of leaving the ECHR, for example, makes me very nervous,” said Mr Craker.
“I just see that as a really divisive issue that’s going to cause infighting. I just think if you bring something like that forward, there’s going to be at least 50 MPs who are going to be very concerned about it.
“Similarly with some of Kemi’s ideas around gender and race and the culture wars, that makes me a bit nervous, because again she may have some really sound arguments to make on that, but there another 50 MPs at least that have probably got very different views to her and that’s going to just sow a bit more division and infighting.
“And what have we learnt from the last election? Divided parties don’t win.”
Badenoch and Jenrick are currently pitching to the party membership who are casting their ballots in this contest, but it will not be long before one of them will have to start pitching to the country.
In Cornwall, one message reflected by activists is the need for the party leadership to talk to grassroots members of the party who, they say, understand the issues in their communities.
Alison Hernandez, the Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall, said: “I think they’ve lost their way with being able to connect with members and activists in the party, and I think that needs to change – that connection.”
Of course, whoever leads the Conservative Party after 2 November will do so as a party of opposition – something neither Robert Jenrick or Kemi Badenoch have experienced as MPs.
That makes fighting for relevance harder when airtime and attention doesn’t come as easily.
Ms Hernandez added: “It feels like we’re invisible at the moment on the national stage, and it’s really important we’ve got someone who can embody the values of Conservatism and communicate that to the wider public.”
The Conservative Party is wrestling right now with what those values are, but the bigger question will ultimately be what the public makes of them.

‘We can’t change our history’ on slave trade, says Keir Starmer
The UK “can’t change our history”, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has told the BBC when asked about paying reparations to countries impacted by the transatlantic slave trade.
His comments come after diplomatic sources told the BBC that Commonwealth heads of government want to start a “meaningful conversation” about an issue that could mean the UK paying billions of pounds for its historical role in the trade.
Sir Keir, who is currently in Samoa for a meeting of Commonwealth countries, said the trade was “abhorrent” and that it was important to “talk about our history”.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves ruled out making payments, in an interview earlier on Thursday, saying “that’s not something that this government is doing”.
However, he added that the focus should be on “today’s challenges” including resilience in the face of climate change and boosting trade between Commonwealth nations.
He added he wanted to help member countries work with international financial institutions to “unlock money that might help them” in relation to climate change.
Leaders from 56 countries are attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting taking place in Samoa on Friday and Saturday.
Commonwealth leaders are expected to defy the UK and debate ways of securing reparations for historical slavery. At its height, Britain was the world’s biggest slave-trading nation. Downing Street has the issue is not on the agenda for the summit.
Reparatory justice for slavery can come in many forms, including financial reparations, debt relief, an official apology, educational programmes, building museums, economic support, and public health assistance.
In the run-up to the summit, there have been growing calls from Commonwealth leaders for the UK to apologise and make reparations.
King Charles will formally open the summit and is expected to use his opening speech to pay tribute to his mother the late Queen Elizabeth II and her connection to the Commonwealth.
He will also say the Commonwealth’s scale and diversity allows it to “discuss the most challenging issues with openness and respect”.
During the gathering, a new Commonwealth secretary general will be elected. All three of the candidates – Shirley Botchwey of Ghana, Joshua Setipa of Lesotho and Mamadou Tangara of Gambia – back reparatory justice.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Frederick Mitchell, the foreign minister of the Bahamas, said he believed the UK would change its stance, saying: “It may take a while for people to come around but come around they will.”
During the interview with the BBC, Sir Keir was also asked about a complaint Donald Trump’s team has filed against the Labour Party objecting to its staff and activists volunteering for Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.
“I think this needs to be seen for what it is,” the prime minister said, adding: “It is some Labour Party members and staff in their free time campaigning.
“It’s happened in every election in different parts of the world. All political parties do it… I think it needs to be put in it’s proper perspective.”
Sir Keir added that both he and Trump wanted to have a “good working relationship” and that the pair recently had dinner together.
He dismissed suggestions that his party were still adjusting to being in government, saying he had “absolute clarity” on his “number one mission” of economic growth.
Next Wednesday Chancellor Rachel Reeves, will set out the government’s tax and spending plans in the Budget.
Ahead of this Reeves told the BBC she would be changing the government’s self-imposed debt rules to free up money for infrastructure spending.
Asked about the Budget, Sir Keir said the economy barely grew under the Conservatives and that he wanted to “clear the decks” and “clear up the mess”.
“I believe in running towards problems. If you know what the problem is, what the challenge is, every business knows this, every family knows it, run towards it and fix it.”
The Conservatives have challenged Labour’s argument that they created a £22bn black hole in the economy and questioned the chancellor’s decision to change the debt rules.
The party’s shadow Treasury minister Gareth Davies said “uncertainty over additional borrowing risks interest rates staying higher and for longer.
“It’s families up and down the country who would pay the price.”

What could reparatory justice for slavery look like?
Calls for the UK to provide reparations for its historic role in the slave trade have reignited ahead of a meeting of Commonwealth countries on Friday.
While Sir Keir Starmer said reparatory justice would not be on the agenda, Commonwealth leaders have defied the prime minister and plan to move towards a “meaningful conversation” on the issue.
The UK has long faced calls to provide reparations for its role in the Atlantic slave trade which saw millions of Africans enslaved and forced to work, largely on plantations in the Caribbean and Americas.
The chancellor told the BBC the UK would not be “paying out” reparations – but might there be other forms of reparations to consider, and how likely is it that the UK would commit to them?
Reparations are measures to make amends for past actions deemed wrong or unfair.
From 1500, the British government and the monarchy were prominent participants in the centuries-long slave trade, alongside other European nations.
Britain also had a key role in ending the trade, through Parliament’s passage of a law to abolish slavery in 1833.
As part of that law, British plantation owners were paid for the loss of their slaves, to the tune of some £20m.
The UK only finished paying off the debt it incurred to cover the payments in 2015.
Reparations for the benefit of those who suffered as result of slavery can take many forms, from financial to symbolic.
The United Nations says they must be “proportional to the gravity of the violations and the harm suffered”.
Here are some of the forms they can take.
Money
This is the most commonly understood form of reparatory justice – where a state gives money to a country whose communities it enslaved.
A 2023 report co-authored by a United Nations’ judge concluded that the UK owed more than £18tn to 14 countries in reparations.
The difficulty is that most European countries would struggle to find sums as astronomic as that.
The UK government, for example, spends a total of about £1.2tn every year.
Even if governments could find the money, it would be politically unpopular to spend so much on reparations and consequently less on schools and hospitals at home.
Some campaigners answer these points by saying reparations could be paid over time.
But many demands for straight cash payments are considered unfeasible by Western governments.
So for others, the debate about financial reparations often focuses instead on the question of debt relief.
Many developing countries which suffered from slavery owe large sums to Western countries.
The cancellation or reduction of that debt could lift a massive economic burden from a developing country at little political cost for a donor country.
Apology
On the face of it, this could appear relatively straightforward.
It does not cost anything, just a public act of atonement for past sins.
Some institutions – such as the Church of England – have apologised for links to slavery.
The difficulty, though, is that apologies can sometimes act as a declaration of legal responsibility for which there could be a financial cost.
Which is why states are often reluctant to take that step.
Earlier this week, former Prime Minister Tony Blair suggested it was wrong for states to apologise for historic wrongs – despite himself saying “sorry” in 2007.
“You can go back over history, and you end up in a completely absurd position”, he told Newsweek on Wednesday.
“The most important thing we can do for countries that have been marked by colonialism is to help them now.”
Few states that played a historic role in the slave trade have taken steps towards reparations.
Education
This includes educational institutions acknowledging their own connection to slavery and how they might have profited from the slave trade.
It can also involve teaching the history of slavery, as well as creating institutions for the study of slavery.
There are also calls for supporting schools to tackle low literacy levels and other issues that some argue date back to the slave trade.
Some campaigners say school exchanges and cultural tours would also be beneficial.
The countries pushing hardest for reparatory justice from the UK are in the Caribbean – and their collective organisation, known as Caricom, has its own reparations commission with 10 demands.
Three of these deal explicitly with education and culture, saying a “restoration of historical memory” was required.
Caricom said states involved in the slave trade had a responsibility to “build educational capacity and provide scholarships”.
Health
Some argue that reparatory justice should also include health – where European countries fund clinics and hospitals.
Medical evidence shows a high rate of type 2 diabetes in the Caribbean which some suggest is associated with centuries of poor nutrition due to past enslavement.
Historian Sir Hilary Beckles told the United Nations’s UN News earlier this year: “If you look at countries with the greatest incidence of chronic diseases, black people have the highest proportions of diabetic adult patients in the world.”
He argued high rates of diabetes on his own island of Barbados “cannot be a coincidence” given it was “the first island to have an African majority and an enslaved population”.
Barbados’ government has moved toward exploring the historic impact of slavery on its population’s health.
Caricom is calling for European countries to invest in science, technology and capital toward improving hospitals, healthcare, and mental health support for the descendants of enslaved people.
Is the UK likely to provide reparations?
The UK government has never formally apologised for slavery or offered to pay reparations – and Sir Keir Starmer has not shown any intention to break the mould.
It is not Labour Party policy to introduce reparations.
Ahead of the Commonwealth summit, the prime minister explicitly said he would not provide an apology or financial compensation for slavery.
He said he wanted to focus on present issues, like the climate, rather than the past.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves doubled down on Thursday afternoon, insisting the UK would not be paying reparations.
“I’d rather roll up my sleeves and work… on the current future-facing challenges than spend a lot of time on the past”, she said.
In 2023, then Prime Minister Rishi Sunak likewise refused to provide compensation or an apology for the slave trade.
“Trying to unpick our history is not the right way forward”, he said.

Victims concerned over missing Windrush reform
Windrush campaigners have expressed concern that the home secretary has yet to announce when she will implement a key recommendation from the government’s review.
On Thursday, Yvette Cooper announced an additional £1.5m of funding to help victims apply for compensation overseen by a Windrush Commissioner – but did not hand over recommended powers to a watchdog.
Campaigners told the BBC they were happy with Labour’s approach, but thought the new system lacked “teeth”.
A Home Office source described the changes as the “first set of announcements on Windrush since the election,” adding that the focus had been on priorities highlighted by campaigners and victims.
The Windrush Review’s report, published by Wendy Williams in 2020, made 30 recommendations which were all adopted by then home secretary Priti Patel.
But in January 2023, her successor Suella Braverman dropped three of them, including establishing a migrants’ commissioner role and giving the immigration watchdog – the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration – the power to publish its own reports.
The watchdog currently has the power to carry out investigations, but the findings can only be published by the home secretary.
Following a legal challenge by Windrush victim Trevor Donald, a judge in June condemned Braverman’s actions as “conspicuously unfair”.
On Thursday, Cooper announced a Windrush commissioner would be appointed, but did not mention the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration.
In February the then-chief inspector David Neal was sacked for leaking reports he had written that he claimed the Home Office was sitting on.
At the time, Cooper who was still in opposition said a “series of Conservative home secretaries have sought to bury uncomfortable truths revealed by the chief inspector”.
On Thursday, Cooper said she was “changing the government’s approach” to “ensure a scandal of this kind can never happen again and dignity can be restored to those so tragically affected”.
A Home Office source said this was the “first set of announcements on Windrush since the election” and said the focus had been on priorities raised by campaigners and victims.
They indicated that a new Windrush Unit, also announced today, could look at how to implement the final recommendation.
Following today’s announcement Cooper met representatives of Windrush campaign groups.
Some of those present welcomed the tone of the home secretary and said the new government appeared to “get” what it was that campaigners were looking for.
But they said there was no mention of when the Home Office would look at more powers for the chief inspector.
One said that the chief inspector needs to “have teeth” and be able to hold ministers to account “in a proper way”.
They said today’s meeting “marked the beginning” of relations between the new Labour government.
Campaigners said that Cooper had made it clear there were still parts of the Home Office that needed to change.
Another said the meeting was “uplifting” compared to ones held with Conservative ministers, but said the chief inspector “needs to be able to publish its findings” in order to prevent a similar scandal happening again.
The Windrush scandal emerged in 2018 when Commonwealth citizens, mostly from the Caribbean, were wrongly detained, deported or threatened with deportation despite having the right to live and work in the UK.
It was discovered that the Home Office had kept no records of those granted permission to stay and had not issued the paperwork they needed to confirm their status.
Many lost homes and jobs and were denied access to healthcare and benefits.
The government apologised in 2018, when it launched the Williams’ review.

Nigel Farage calls on Tory councillors to switch to Reform UK
Nigel Farage has called on Conservative county councillors to defect to his Reform UK party.
In a letter obtained by the BBC, party leader Farage warns Tory councillors Reform’s “ground campaign capabilities will be formidable” by May’s local elections.
Speaking on X, Farage, who is also MP for Clacton in Essex, said he was writing to 1,352 Conservative county councillors as “a huge number of them genuinely agree with us and what we stand for”.
A Conservative party spokesman said: “Reform has delivered a Labour government. A vote for Reform this coming May is a vote for a Labour council.”
‘Councillors in talks with us’
In a letter sent to Essex Conservative county councillors, Farage says “our door is open should you consider standing for Reform UK”.
Farage told them since the general election “we’ve been assembling a national election winning machine at historic speed with hundreds of branches already established and over 90,000 active members ready to campaign”.
He has given Conservative councillors until 6 November to join and warns there will be a Reform candidate standing against them.
“Once somebody has been selected, we will not stand them down,” he wrote.
Farage said there were “other councillors in talks with us” after two Southend councillors defected from the Conservatives in September.
Conservative Kevin Bentley, leader of Essex County Council, said Farage’s letter “does smack of desperation”.
He said: “Some members have had a message from Reform and dismissed it.”
First Reform county councillor
A former Conservative councillor who was briefly a general election candidate has joined Reform UK.
Jaymey McIvor, who represents Ongar on Essex County Council, announced on X that he had joined Farage’s party.
The Conservatives said McIvor was expelled from the party on 9 October following a disciplinary hearing.
McIvor said he had already quit and that he had joined Reform UK as it “puts people and country first”.
He accused the Conservative Party of being “too weak to deal with its handful of toxic individuals” and they “tried to punish my ambition and vision”.
He said: “Reform has won the trust of the next generation. We are the future, we want our country back on track, rescuing it from the unpatriotic minority and put the patriotic majority back in the driver’s seat.”
McIvor was selected to stand for the Conservatives in Hemel Hempstead in the general election. But hours from the deadline for nominations to be submitted he was dropped and suspended by the party pending an investigation.
A Conservative spokesperson said: “Mr McIvor was suspended by the party and removed from the candidates list in June.
“After a disciplinary hearing, he was expelled from the Conservative Party on 9 October.”
McIvor says he will “continue to serve my residents” as a Reform UK councillor on both Essex County Council and Epping Forest District Council.
Elections for Essex County Council are due to be held in May 2025.
Earlier this year, McIvor posted on X: “For every person that joins Reform UK , they become another campaigner for a Labour government, which would achieve the polar opposite to what they want to see changed.”
A spokesperson for Reform UK said: “We believe James McIvor has been the victim of vicious Tory infighting.
“We look forward to announcing many more councillors joining us in Essex from the Tory sinking ship.”
