Vote Hannah Spencer in Gorton & Denton - we’re right behind you! With love and encouragement from all at Green Party Northern Ireland. 💚

In Northern Ireland, we know what it costs when labels replace humanity. We’ve lived it. When politicians call people “illegal migrants”, they’re not being neutral, they’re using language that human rights bodies have condemned as inaccurate and dehumanising. 1/4

Vote Green to bring nationalised utilities into public ownership. 💚

Alliance launching an EPA petition is bold. Bold because: ✅ EPA was in New Decade New Approach (they negotiated) ✅ EPA was in their 2022 manifesto ❌They signed a Programme for Government without it ✅ Their minister runs DAERA - the dept that would create it 1/2

Four years ago today, Russia illegally invaded Ukraine. The war must end, but not on Putin and Trump’s terms. Any peace deal must be made with the people of Ukraine fully involved. Ukraine needs peace. Europe needs peace. Russia must be stopped. #SlavaUkraïni 🇺🇦

£40k benefits fraud. Front page outrage. Meanwhile millions in tax avoidance? Silence. Supermarkets posting record profits while families skip meals? Silence. Energy companies extracting billions while people freeze? Silence. 1/3

They said the Greens couldn’t compete. Manchester disagrees. 💚 From anti-fascist rallies to packed campaign offices - with Caroline Lucas, Jeremy Corbyn, Mothin Ali, Rachel Millward and Hazel Chu all in. One week. One by-election. One chance. Vote Hannah Spencer. 🗳️ #GortonAndDenton #ByElection

Reform is bankrolled by fossil fuel companies and Silicon Valley broligarchs. We’re bankrolled by this. 👆 People power hitting Manchester with Mal O’Hara, Hazel Chu and Hannah Spencer. 💚 We’ve got this. 🤝 #PeoplePower #Manchester

This is huge - and proves exactly what we're saying. We cannot have a moment of complacency - only the Green Party can stop Reform. Vote Hannah Spencer and the Green Party on Thursday in Gorton and Denton. 💚

Ten laws in two years. A health crisis. A housing crisis. A cost of living crisis. Nurses on single-digit rises. And they found time to farm out a 27% pay rise decision. You couldn’t make it up. PETITION: greenpartyni.org/stop_the_27_...

‼️ Stop the 27% MLA pay rise. NI civil servants accepted 9% over nearly two years. Teachers and healthcare workers fought for single-digit rises. Many public sector workers are still waiting for anything fair. greenpartyni.org/stop_the_27_... 1/5

We have members of all faiths and none in the party. It’s rare for Lent, Ramadan and Chinese New Year all to come together but it makes it feel very special somehow.

Today marks the beginning of Lent - a season of reflection, renewal, and intention. Whether you observe or not, there’s something powerful about pausing to ask: what truly matters? Wishing all marking Ash Wednesday a meaningful and contemplative day. 🕊️

Wishing all who observe a blessed and peaceful Ramadan 🌙 A month to quiet the noise, reflect deeper, and fill what’s empty, not with food, but with gratitude, purpose, and connection. Ramadan Mubarak

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating in NI and across the world. 🐎🔥 Year of the Fire Horse comes just once every 60 years and it carries a particular energy: courage, momentum, the refusal to be penned in or held back. That feels like exactly the spirit our politics needs right now. 1/5

It’s Pancake Day. A reminder that in this place, we’re very good at flipping things. Policies. Promises. Climate commitments. While the NI Executive debates, energy bills soar, public transport struggles, and communities deal with flooding and fuel poverty. 1/2

Northern Ireland is in a femicide crisis. Since 2020, 28 women and girls have been murdered, the highest rate across the UK and Ireland. These weren’t random acts of violence. They were rooted in a culture of misogyny and control. 1/6

Families in Northern Ireland with gender-questioning children are being let down. The suspension of NI’s participation in the UK-wide Pathway clinical trial leaves 45 young people in limbo at our single youth gender service, with no clear path forward. 1/6

Back to street walking. Leaflet drop for GPNI in north Belfast. 10,000 steps before lunch. Nice way to start a weekend. @greenpartyni.org

Dear Stormont Assembly, Last Valentine’s Day we broke up with you after 27 years. A year on, we’re still stuck sorting through the wreckage. Around 1 in 4 children still live in poverty - the same proportion as last year. Over 470,000 people remain on NHS waiting lists, with 38,166 patients… 1/7

We knew this was coming but the speed is surprising. Our young people are dying! Who will stand with them and for them? I imagine only the @greenpartyni.org , the rest are too cowardly and transphobic! #transrightsarehumanrights #transhealthcarenow

Cross-party agreement secured on our pitches strategy proposal. Prioritising GAA and soccer pitches while protecting Belfast’s major events capacity. Report on options within two months. Doing politics differently. 💚

Green Party delivers city-wide clean-up team for Belfast. A proposal by Councillor for Lisnasharragh, Brian Smyth, for a dedicated graffiti removal and power washing team has been approved and built into the rates for 2026. 1/3

UK High Court ruled the government acted unlawfully & disproportionately in using terrorism legislation against protestors. Civil liberties, free speech and the right to peaceful protest matter. Protecting them protects everyone. Cllr Anthony Flynn explains. #CivilLiberties #HumanRights #GreenParty

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

High Court rules UK Government ban on Palestine Action unlawful. This is a win for free speech amid public outrage on Palestine genocide. Met Police will drop enforcement pending appeal. 1/3

“Closing Butcher Playing Fields seemed like putting the cart before the horse. We have pitches strategy is due next month.” Cllr Áine Groogan on BBC Good Morning Ulster.

“Why does it take the voice of one dead man over the voices of hundreds & thousands of living women to take accusations of violence against women and girls seriously?” Cllr Áine Groogan’s speech last night in City Hall calling for a full review of Belfast’s highest honour, the Freedom Of The City.

We forced them to pass the 2022 Climate Change Act. Now let’s make sure they don’t gut it. DAERA is finally setting up the Just Transition Commission – the independent watchdog we fought to include in the Act. 1/4

A deferral. Not a decision. Green councillors secured a pause on closing Boucher Playing Fields - 30-28. “This deferral gives us the space to get this process right and to deliver for sports, music and culture across our city.” 1/3

Belfast City Council just killed large-scale concerts at Boucher Playing Fields - with NO alternative venue lined up. Sinn Féin & DUP voted to end this without a plan. Young people lose the chance to see world-class artists in their own city. 1/2

Public honours are a statement of values. When serious abuse allegations emerge, silence becomes complicity. Cllr Áine Groogan is calling for an urgent, transparent review of Belfast’s Freedom of the City honour. Prestige must not outweigh survivors and history does not excuse harm.

Belfast City Council cannot continue to confer honours while survivors are re-traumatised. The Epstein Files demand action, not silence. Public institutions must not provide prestige or legitimacy to those facing serious abuse allegations. 1/2

Andrew Muir has repeatedly promised to end NI Water’s SORPI protection. SORPI is the 2007 deal that shields illegal sewage discharges from criminal prosecution. Despite the Office for Environmental Protection investigation into Belfast Lough spills & Muir’s own admission that “such discharges … 1/3

Northern Ireland’s first Environment Strategy progress report admits our nature is under “serious” and “unsustainable” pressure. Andrew Muir says there is still “work to be done”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c... 1/3

LGBT+ History Month exists because people were erased, criminalised and silenced. Every right won came from people who refused to disappear. Visibility is resistance. Equality is not negotiable.

People are struggling. We need to lower bills, protect our NHS and rebuild our public services. My interview with #BBCLauraK Great to see Green Party membership rising once again! youtu.be/lMmDM_PvHyc?...

Is it time to devolve transport and infrastructure powers to councils to actually get stuff done? Or as Cllr Brian Smyth eloquently put it “It’s time to put on our big boy and big girl pants and fix obvious problems Sinn Féin and DUP are blocking. What do think?

St Brigid’s Day is about more than folklore. Brigid stood for care over greed, sharing over hoarding, and sheltering the vulnerable. She treated land, water and community as sacred. Her values still feel very relevant. 1/2

Is this a wasted opportunity and a waste of money? Cllr Brian Smyth is questioning Stormont’s spending on restricting Hill Steet vehicle access.

There is no ceasefire. That is the lie we are being sold. Gaza is still under attack. Children are being killed, families freezing in collapsing tents, hunger spreading while the world is told to look away. 1/2

This is what an entire party stepping up looks like. Together, we stop Reform. Together, we win Gorton & Denton. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Huge congratulations to Hazel Chu on her election as Green Party Ireland Deputy Leader. Councillor Chu won with a clear mandate from members, showing trust in her vision for a bold, ambitious party that fights for climate action, nature restoration, social justice and an equal economy. 1/2
