A Labour Mayor appointing a Green Deputy is a national first. Cllr Tony Dyer and Mayor Helen Godwin might be from different parties and support rival clubs, but they are united around delivering an ambitious vision for the West, with better buses, more trains, mass transit plans and much more.

Hey @BBCNews , got a story for you! About 11 reform new councillors have stepped down or been expelled already! It will cost a lot to elect new ones. How about running that as a story, just for a smidgen of impartiality?

In Bristol, Greens are leading the council and improving the services people rely on most. Children’s services. Adult social care. Support that changes lives. On 7 May, local elections are taking place across the country. Vote Green. 💚 @bristolgreens @SWGreenParty

Green Party: “Israel should stop committing genocide” British Journalists: “You vile racist antisemites!” Reform: “we are going to open concentration camps for migrants” British Journalists: “This is a bold new policy from the latest disruptive force in British politics.”

I am 100% sure if someone like Mamdani tried to stand as London mayor Labour would block him.
Inspirational campaign and victory for @ZohranKMamdani in NYC. Lessons for progressives the world over.

Stand by for 24 hours of Farage promotion without scrutiny. You have to hand it to him- to be a politician who gets treated like a commentator celebrity is a real achievement. But only possible with a media that prefers spectacle to scrutiny, and major parties that have never properly hung the Farage realities - Brexit, Trump, Putin, economic illiteracy and extremism - around his neck
