On #InternationalWomensDay, I am reminded of the privilege it is to serve as North Herefordshire's first female MP, and to be in a Parliament with the most women ever elected. But work doesn't stop here - from achieving pay equality to tackling VAWG, there's so much to keep fighting for.

Congratulations @helenelliott-boult.bsky.social & @stroudgreens.org.uk! That’s a massive re-election mandate!

I'm honoured to have been named one of The House Magazine’s ‘Women in Westminster: The 100’ for 2026! Brilliant to be in company with so many inspiring women shaping our future. #WiW100

My dad has given me lots of good advice over the years (plus a bit of bad) but I think the best he has ever given me is "WATCH OUT FOR FUCKWITS AND LOONIES. www.tom-cox.com/31-notes-i-h...

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular. This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better. And we're making hope normal again - together. news.sky.com/story/greens...

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

who made this

The blatant Islamophobia that Keir Starmer is demonstrating through smearing Mothin Ali would be shocking - but it's becoming a pattern. Smearing a caring man of principle for standing up for peace.

Hannah, we are so happy to welcome you to Parliament and to the team of @greenparty.org.uk MPs! 💐💚☀️

@elliechowns.bsky.social : "What we've seen here is the action of an Israeli govt led by a man who is himself a war criminal responsible for a genocide & a US govt led by a man who is a loose cannon... & the risk is that the UK is going to be drawn into this"

Tomorrow we lift the 9.30am restriction on bus passes, letting older and disabled people travel whenever they want. It was good to thank the GM Older and Disabled People’s Panels for pushing for it. A positive change powered by the people - exactly how politics should work! 🙌🏻

Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚

Hannah Spencer: councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and the only candidate who can beat Reform in Gorton & Denton today 💚

This is an amazing story already, but the fact it is happening in Redruth tips it over into a whole new level of satisfying.

Green Menaces - let’s go. 💚 Huge huge thanks to everyone who’s backed this campaign and shown it so much love. Now we leave nothing on the pitch. Let’s get this over the line. Vote Green. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

Today is the day. Hope vs hate. Green vs Reform. Vote Green in Gorton & Denton.

Labour are so desperate to hang on to power that they will lie to the people who they take for granted to vote for them Sinister much!

Your party leader’s fascist mentor was best mates with Epstein but please, lecture away…

In a few hours in Gorton and Denton - you have the opportunity to transform our politics. A vote for Hannah Spencer & the Green Party will entirely change our national conversation. And Hannah will be brilliant for Manchester. Check her out 👇🏼 youtu.be/uCy0VdHTVvs?...

Green Bristol Cllr @tobywells.bsky.social makes a clear case here on how the WECA Mayor has let the West of England down by ‘deprioritising’ bus franchising - despite it being an election promise. www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

The Labour government object to us talking about Gaza. Genocide is serious and they should hang their heads in shame for arming it, not complaining to journalists. Not surprised they're distracting from their other failures - like addressing the cost of energy bills and rent.

Hannah Spencer could become the next @greenparty.org.uk MP this week 🤞🏽🙏🏽✨ Britain needs this to give us all hope! 💚

✅️ The tactical voting sites make it clear: A Green vote is the ONLY vote to stop Reform in Gorton and Denton. 💚 ✊️ We can win. But we can't do it without YOU!! Sign up to help in the last few days before polling day 👇

"Do we have the commitment from the Labour government to ensure that our homes across West Yorkshire are warm and also that people's heating bills are going to be less?" Green councillor Anna Watson holding Labour to account at W.Yorkshire Combined Authority Scrutiny Committee.

A day of planning and chatting and rain and gloom and music and emails and making breadsticks and yawns and tv and snacking and quiet and computer games and dancing in the kitchen and Christmas lights still up.... #halfterm

I have tabled a motion in parliament, calling on Buckingham Palace to publish all communication which references the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Statements of support for victims of Epstein’s abuse are insufficient if crucial information is still covered up.

A new study warns UK winters are becoming significantly wetter — with rainfall rising 7% for every degree of warming. Yet Reform dismiss the scientific consensus and want scrap action to stop the climate crisis.

Wonderfully written NY Times piece by a local dad involved in the resistance, really echoes with a lot of what we’re feeling: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/o... (gift link)

Wembley Arena. Let’s go. 💚 I’m proud to be speaking alongside performances from Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight & so many more! It's a moment to stand in solidarity with our trans siblings. Because when any of us are under attack, we show up. Join us: www.ovoarena.co.uk/events/detai...

Dear Gorton & Denton, Something you might want to hear...

I missed most of the #standuptoracism rally cos I had uni, but still heard brilliant speakers, met lovely people and bumped into various friends, including the @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social crowd of course! Huge congratulations to everyone involved in such a positive, inspiring day. #lovebristol

You probably learned about George Washington Carver in high school. But you've probably never heard of Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner. She's the African American woman we can thank for inventing the sanitary belt in 1957 and revolutionizing women's lives across the entire globe. 1/4

Calling all socialist in Manchester If you want to stop Reform Ltd in Gorton & Denton canvass, leaflet, support, vote for Green Party candidate Hannah Spencer #SocialistSunday "Ellie Chowns wins applause on BBC QT, exposing Reform UK immigration myths" www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

What an absolutely inspiring day in Gorton and Denton this morning! over 400 campaigners gathered on a freezing morning to change the very future of this country! It's time for change, it's time for Greens, it's time for Hannah the Plumber!

In Bristol today we said: No to racism. No to anti-migrant hate. No to anti-Muslim hate. No to anti-Jewish hate. No to any and every form of hate that's directed at people whether it's to do with where they come from, the god they worship, or the colour of their skin. We stand up for one another.

Well said! @elliechowns.bsky.social: "Reform, and before it the Brexit Party, and before it UKIP have been busy for many years fomenting his idea that immigration is the problem in this country. "It's completely untrue."

Greens secured MAJOR changes totalling £1.2 Million in the 2026 county council budget - despite being in opposition! 🚲 £900K for pavements, paths and cycleways 🌍 £200K for climate change adaptation, resilience and community support 🫂 £100K for projects building community cohesion and cooperation

The Guardian editorial today reflects the reality for millions. Bills soaring. Wages stagnant. People pushed to the brink. We don’t have to accept this. It’s time to do things differently. join.greenparty.org.uk

Some of our members made the trek today to Gorton and Denton to campaign for Hannah Spencer. 🌱 Let’s get a plumber to Parliament! 💚

Mandatory ID cards. Scrapping jury trials. Calling genocide protesters “terrorists." There’s a strong authoritarian edge to the Labour Government. With no plan to help people, clearly thrown in the towel in Gorton & Denton. It's Greens Vs Reform. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

“Jim Ratcliffe’s comments were outrageous. They are offensive and they were deeply wrong. We do have a problem in our country, and that problem is inequality. It’s not immigration.” Ellie Chowns on #BBCQT, rejecting attempts to blame migrants for country's problems.

Exactly this our democracy should not be a rich mans play thing .

Make no mistake. Starmer finally taking any kind of stand against racist rhetoric is a direct result of public support for the Green Party. He now knows that if you vote Green you get Green. People of Gorton & Denton - take note. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

It’s Bristol City Council’s budget setting day today. The second one set by the Green led administration. A lot of work has gone into balancing the books and avoiding cuts of vital services. We are gearing up for a very long meeting this afternoon to debate it with the opposition parties.
