Great seeing the Green Party continuing to climb despite the torrent of media backlash and cross party attacks. People want something different and are tired of not seeing the change that was promised. Its time to tax wealth, protect the environment and uphold international law. – at Bristol, England
I guess putting the interests of Israel over your own residents and defending arming a genocide over bins didn't really work in your favour. There's a lesson here about acting in the best interests of residents rather than blindly accepting orders from offices in London. – at Bristol, England
Big wins for Democrats from Texas to South Carolina to Kansas and the House flips. The billionaire class and their puppets threw everything at this and failed. No amount of AIPAC money or trillionaire money could beat the people. Time for investigations and accountability. – at Bristol, England

Mike Tapp reported the Greens to the EHRC over our Zionism is racism motion and admits he spoke to no Palestinians first. He doesn't know any. The material manifestation of Zionism has resulted in genocide and apartheid. Palestinians belong in this conversation. – at Bristol, England
“Have you spoken to any Palestinian organizations before you wrote your letter?”
@ShehabKhan presses Labour MP Mike Tapp who reported the Green Party over its Zionism motion about whether he’s ever spoken to any Palestinians.
Tapp: “I don’t know any Palestinian people.”
Would anyone appoint a person accused of antisemitism to lead a review into Islamophobia? Of course not. Yet David Bell, accused of Islamophobia by prominent Muslim figures in 2005, led the antisemitism review. Institutions know the double standard exists and carry on regardless. – at Bristol, England
You can't make it up.
Sir David Bell was asked to lead the antisemitism review that was just published.
But he faced severe criticism for alleged Islamophobia for attacking faith schools when he was head of Ofsted twenty years ago.
And his new report now blithely says that Muslims disproportionately express anti-semitic views...
The Government has approved the Jackdaw gas field. It's a disaster for Bristol and the climate. After this summer's extreme weather and the People's Emergency Briefing, the warnings are clear. – at Bristol, England

The 1% thrive on keeping us divided, blaming those with the least so we never look up at who’s really benefiting. Unity is what they fear most. Credit to Jeremy Corbyn for putting his ego aside and backing cooperation with the Greens in the national interest, this is integrity.
The police have setup "Talk to us" events for anyone concerned about local crime or want to hear what is being done in terms of prevention, after care ect.. They have set up a few dates in advance if anyone wants to speak to their local officers. Details below 👇

It was an honour noting the final annual report of Bristol's Disability Equality Commission and approving the Disability Equity Action Plan at Full Council today during my first speech since I joined the Green Party. 1/2
Horrified to see that British democracy is apparently up for sale to the highest bidder. Crypto millionaire Christopher Harbourne's donation to Reform is the largest single donation ever given by an individual to a British political party, a shocking £9 million pounds! 1/4
Massive congratulations to Zohran Kwame Mamdani on his historic election as Mayor of New York City! 💚
This is a truly landmark moment and a shift in the Overton window of American politics towards a more progressive, people-powered future.
Huge congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani on his election as Mayor of New York City from all of us at the Green Party! 🎉💚

Disgusted and sickened that 798 unarmed civilians were murdered while queuing for aid in vicious aid traps set by GHF which is run by paid mercenaries who were recorded celebrating after shooting unarmed civilians. Many mercenaries have spoken out about the mindless violence.
BREAKING: At least 798 people in Gaza have been killed while receiving aid, the UN human rights office has said.

8 children were MURDERED by the IDF while waiting in line for nutritional supplements. Children are not and should never be a military target. One Hamas member allegedly killed DOES NOT JUSTIFY MURDERING KIDS! It is indefensible, we demand accountability and ceasefire NOW!
