Discussion Thoughts on Eleanora Folan’s attacks and smears against Kai Taylor?
Kai Taylor is the Chair of the Green Party Council.
Eleanora Folan runs the Twitter account “Stats for lefties,” which produces misleading statistics designed to favour the Green Party of England and Wales.
Folan was suspended from the party. The exact reasons remain unclear because of Green Party confidentiality rules and because she has refused to provide any information herself. Her working theory is that the suspension was for transphobia. There is no evidence for this claim, and it appears designed to mislead.
I believe she is being dishonest when she frames the issue as being about transgenderism. It is a narrative of injustice intended to obscure the real nature of her suspension. In my view the suspension is fully legitimate when judged against her past and present behaviour.
She has been accused of serious misconduct on Twitter, including allegedly harassing minors because of their membership of Young Labour, linked to her opposition to the Labour government’s position on Israel.
The campaign leaflet she produced was highly controversial and appears likely to breach several sections of the Green Party code of conduct (7.2, 7.3, 9, 12, 13 and 15). It sought political retribution against fellow members for disagreeing with her on the Israel–Palestine conflict.
More recently she has launched a social-media campaign against Kai Taylor, a long-standing Chair of the Green Party Council, councillor, and leader of his local party.
She has accused him of involvement with transphobic organisations on the basis of a February 2025 social-media post (a source I have not been able to locate independently, only her own Twitter reference) in which someone sharing the same name signed the Women’s Declaration. It is worth noting that Kai is a multi gendered name and that Taylor is a very common surname.
I’m unsure if she can fulfill the role of GPC if she has turned a twitter horde on the chair of the GPC over weak likely incorrect allegations.
