Labour webinar shows it is shit scared of the Greens

The Labour Party recently hosted a series of training webinars, which only revealed how shit scared it is of the Greens.

The webinar series was titled ‘Road to 2026’. It aimed to teach Labour campaigners how to target each of the main political parties in the run-up to local elections next year.

Instead, it provided a stark reminder of the 2020 Covid briefings — ‘next slide, please’ — and quite honestly, it put me to sleep.

Going undercover

Of course the Canary infiltrated the webinars. But aside from getting the impression that they couldn’t win an egg-and-spoon race, they showed us that the only thing they really have going for them is their opponents’ mistakes — not their policies. Their deserving candidates or huge amounts of public support? Nope.

Just the historic social media feeds of prospective Green councillors. 

Look at things like their social media accounts, just scroll back through and screenshot anything and everything that looks a bit dodgy to you.

Search their name online and see what comes up.

The presenter then added:

Have they stood for election before? Sometimes they’ve stood for different parties in the past. What does that say about them?

She’s probably referring to the councillors who have defected to the Greens from Labour over the past year. This is due to Labour moving away from its values and beliefs, of course. Similarly, local councillors defected to both Reform UK and Your Party due to a sense of disillusionment.

So, is it using the fact that Labour has become a party which its own councillors want to leave, as a stick to beat the defectors with? At what point do you think they will realise the party has become the problem?

She then went on to say:

Not everyone is going to be the person who wants to go and knock on doors, but there might be someone who really wants to spend six hours searching the name of every Green candidate, and dig up any sort of dirt from their past.

Digging up dirt

Is that why Labour’s prospective MPs — ahem, zionist shitlord Luke Akehurst — deleted over 2,000 tweets in 2024? Because he knew he wouldn’t last five minutes if everyone could see what a piece of work he really is.

Or the Scottish Labour candidate, who the party fired for sharing and liking racist social media posts. It’s ironic how Labour advocates for the same tactics that are destroying the careers of their own politicians.

However, those six hours could be spent on real work — helping local people and/or making a positive impact in the community. Instead, some poor person is going to be playing FBI on the off chance a Green candidate made a joke when they were 15.

Importantly, though, she emphasised digging up dirt on prospective councillors over highlighting the (of course, well-deserving) local candidates that Labour is putting forward for the May 2026 elections.

It’s funny that Labour is lecturing about values. Meanwhile, it’s still supporting Israel, cutting disabled people’s benefits, and increasing everyone’s bills.

When they announce their candidates, have a look back through their social media. If they’ve said outrageous things, put it online and say, “Really, Green Party, is this your values? Is this who you want to represent this area?

Pretend we’re not Labour

Another tactic that emerged during the ‘Taking on Reform’ session was removing logos from graphics, social media posts, and leaflets. This was so that they would not appear to be from the Labour Party. It was unclear whether this was merely a way to bypass local Facebook groups’ anti-politics policies or whether it was about Labour itself.

But if Labour is willing to remove its own branding, it must be shit scared of Zack Polanski.

This is not the only time that Labour has used this tactic.

As the Canary previously reported, several MPs have consistently avoided Labour branding. Instead, they have used neutral House of Commons-style branding on their social media channels. Of course, they switched the Labour red for green. 

If you saw this, what party would you think the MP was from? https://t.co/WxE6QD0218 pic.twitter.com/CC4AMcYJLF

The painful hours I spent listening to only demonstrated the tediousness of the whole charade. Unlike 2019, there was no real energy. Labour will undoubtedly target young people in 2026. But as one of those young people, I was bored out of my mind.

When I compare it to the recent campaigning by the Green Party — I can honestly see why Labour is so scared.
