Two years on, we remember the horrific events of 7 October. We call today, and every day, for an end to the violence.

Our Conference was bursting with energy, enthusiasm, and determination. The Green Party is growing faster than ever – powered by hope, action, and thousands of passionate members. 💚

After speaking with them at the Green Party's conference this weekend, I finally got around to doing what I've meant to do for years, and joined @natsecsoc.bsky.social and @humanists.uk. Consider joining, to support the secular, evidence-based state and society that the Green Party wants to see.

It's a miracle nobody was hurt. Sending solidarity to the Muslim community in Sussex and across the UK, as well as the Jewish community who are still grieving from the appalling attack in Manchester. No one should EVER feel unsafe in their place of worship www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

These are just our first steps. Let's keep going. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Brilliant work @greenpartyemma.bsky.social! #TrainsNotPlanes

🥳 I'm so so delighted that my motion for completely building East West Rail and fully electrifying it passed overwhelmingly at conference. 🙏 Huge huge thanks to @greenchloem.bsky.social , Ed Fraser and @benwheels.bsky.social for speaking in favour. #TrainsNotPlanes #RailNotRoad #GPConf

"the number of Greens across Great Britain - around 91,000 - is around 50% more than the membership of the Lib Dems" Now is the perfect time to click join.greenparty.org.uk and help us get to 100,000!

I am alarmed and upset by this emerging news of attacks at a synagogue on Yom Kippur. The rise in religious hate crimes in this country is totally unacceptable - there is no excuse for antisemitism and no excuse for violence. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

As @zackpolanski.bsky.social said, the Greens are here to replace Labour. “By electing more Green MPs, Bristol will instead finally have voices in parliament that will truly represent Bristol.”

🎉 80,000 Green Party members! 📈 But we're not stopping there. 💚 We have no time to waste. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

LANDMARK MOMENT - the Greens now have more members across Great Britain than the Lib Dems! Let's keep it going! 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏽 join.greenparty.org.uk Latest stats available: 85,800 @greenparty.org.uk (England & Wales) + @scottishgreens.org combined membership 83,174 @libdems.org.uk (a single party across GB)

This is abhorrent environmental vandalism from Labour. There is no justification for expanding airports in a climate emergency. Labour should get on with building new railway lines - including HS2 in full - instead. #TrainsNotPlanes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

💪 Thank you to everyone who joined today's Hotwells & Harbourside action day! We covered a lot of ground and had some really good conversations with local residents. 🤝 Check out bristolgreenparty.org.uk/get-involved/ to find out how you can help support Bristol's largest and most progressive party.

(+ yesterday another 1000) = 77,000 members. Join.greenparty.org.uk

💚 Great to join Bristol Young Greens this afternoon for a litterpick around Brandon Hill park! BYG does fantastic work as part of the @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social family - if you or a young person you know would like to get involved, let me know! 🚮 Keeping the streets clean is a Green priority!

Today is a great day to join the Green Party. United, left-wing, progressive politics. join.greenparty.org.uk

"There's people who will cook food in their own homes and take it out and feed people who are less fortunate... That's patriotism. That's love for your community. And that's standing up for British values." Deputy Leader @mothinali.bsky.social on BBC Politics North this weekend.

💚 Delighted to announce we just reached 73,000 new members! ✊🏽 @greenparty.org.uk is the party of environmental, social, racial and economic justice. 👉🏼 Join.greenparty.org.uk

This is the clearest sign yet that Farage intends to weave Christian nationalism into Reform's ideology & policies. He began by promising to restore 'Judeo-Christian values'. Now he's casting doubt on the stability of same sex relationships. A Reform government will reverse hard-won civil rights.

We all need to be having these conversations.

After more than a year of disastrous political direction it looks like Labour MPs are finally questioning McSweeney's judgement. Remember - this is the man whose strategy is for Starmer to become a Farage tribute act with no solutions

The transphobia from some individuals in tonight's Bristol Full Council meeting was revolting. I'm glad that the Green Party stands in full support of transgender rights and dignity.

🪙As Bristol Council's Chair of Finance, I'm delighted our administration confirmed today that the our library budget will be protected for the next year. 📖Greens will always fight to protect our vital libraries. 🛑BUT - this depends on the Labour govt properly funding councils in the future.

Been politically adrift since I left Labour a while ago, and filled with dread at the growth of Reform. Today I joined the Green Party. Zack Polanski is making me believe again. There are still good people in this country, sticking up for the right values, and I want to be among them.

With @equityuk.bsky.social President. Spoke to countless trade unionists at TUC today. Same message every time: "Labour are letting workers down." They’re no longer the party of the workers. The Greens are. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

If you're at #TUC2025, come along to my panel with the @greenpartytu.bsky.social We'll discuss an Energy Jobs Plan to secure a future for oil & gas workers in green industries and turn the UK into a clean energy superpower With Rosemary Harris from @oilchange.bsky.social and Unite's Claire Peden

Back home in Cwmbran after a cracking day in Cardiff campaigning to get @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social and other @walesgreenparty.bsky.social members elected to the Senedd. A huge thank you to @zackpolanski.bsky.social , @mothinali.bsky.social and everyone else that came to help us today!✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💚

Fantastic to have been part of such a large group from @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social who travelled to support our comrades in @walesgreenparty.bsky.social alongside our new leadership team! 💚 I can't wait to see us win our first seats in the Senedd 💪

Our communities are divided, and people are afraid - and yet instead of helping, this government is making life harder for people coming here to flee danger. I asked the Home Secretary why she won't give asylum seekers the right to work and support their families.

On Sky News last night, talking about @zackpolanski.bsky.social 's win and why his hopeful, progressive politics can take on Reform's hate filled rhetoric. My own experience winning in a historically Conservative area shows people want real change and together, we can deliver it 💚

Those who can channel our anger at 15 years of misrule, who can speak the language of outrage and hope, are the politicians of the moment. They will contribute to what could be, in 2029, the greatest electoral reset in our modern history. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I asked Bristolians how much they're forking out on rent. The answer? Too much! It's time for the govt to give regions the power to control rents and stop landlords ripping off their tenants So I'm calling for #RentControls to be included in the Devolution Bill this week.

I’m truly honoured to have been elected. Thank you to everyone who voted, supported and encouraged me throughout this campaign. I’m excited to help our brilliant party grow, and grow well, as we get ready to win across England and Wales. Thank you.

Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on his resounding victory, elected leader of the Green Party with over 20,000 votes! The Green Party is going from strength to strength, and we will keep on upholding our progressive vision in the face of the rising right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's been wonderful as local councillor to witness and support Underfall Yard's recovery since the terrible arson attack. I'm proud to work closely with them supporting their work and regeneration. Support the Yard at underfallyard.co.uk/about/recove...

"The sad fact is that we know that right now our St George’s flag, which should be a symbol of pride is being used by some to represent anti migrant campaigns of misinformation and hate." An excellent and timely article from @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social Council Leader, Tony Dyer.

Leadership election aside, Zack has been a phenomenal Deputy Leader and whoever gets the job after him has huge shoes to fill. Thanks Zack for all your hard work!

*Making our roads more dangerous to own the libs* 1) Terrible execution, that cross is wobbly. Do better, "patriots". 2) When the Council has to spend time + money cleaning these signs instead of <literally anything else>, I'm sure the people who do stuff like this will be the first to complain.

Carla's bravery and principles are just some of the many reasons we in @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social are so proud to have her as our MP. 💚 Far right hatred has no place in our politics. Solidarity, Carla.

There are some genuinely good proposals for reforming our jails here. But there is one massive red flag: Labour "will press ahead with a voluntary chemical castration system for sex offenders in England and Wales, and is exploring the prospect of making it mandatory". 1/X

Great to visit Young Bristol today to hear about their bold plans for reinvigorating their Pooles Wharf premises! Young Bristol does amazing work especially with vulnerable and deprived children, and I'm very proud to be able to support them.

We could not be prouder that someone is wearing one of our "pro trans, pro trains" t-shirts to anti-fascism protests in Washington DC. Sending solidarity to everyone opposing the far right in the USA and around the world.

Great to see @greens4hs2.bsky.social's influence reaching across the pond! Solidarity with all in the USA protesting fascism ✊ #ProTransProTrains

No - doing so while Putin is waging a war of aggression in Europe would be a big failure.

Sure, if we want to immediately harm our chances of more MPs. We can make our opposition to NATO known without terrifying voters AND remaining true to our values. I think @patdbmcallister.bsky.social 's amendment dances this line perfectly - pro change but recognises current necessity.

Today, I and other @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social members and councillors stood shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of others to protect a hotel housing asylum seekers, calling out the poisonous bigotry corrupting our society. We've done it before. We'll do it again. Solidarity ✊
