Can you help us elect @mattrogan.bsky.social as our first Green councillor in Beeston & Holbeck? We’ll be door knocking across the ward on Wednesday and Sunday this week. Please join us if you can! leeds.greenparty.org.uk/local-wards/...

Labour would rather lose to Reform than to the Greens, because that's their only attack line: "Vote Labour to keep Reform out". After all that Change™️ there's nothing positive left to offer, I guess 🤷 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Such a shame to miss the biggest @younggreens.bsky.social Winter General Meeting yet, but a very productive (soggy 😔) day out in Holbeck, and down into Beeston! And some good conversations too, with a real hunger for change in the air 💚 Mayy need to put my feet up before we're out again tomorrow 😅

EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK just broke electoral law in Gorton and Denton. The party confirmed they sent out campaign materials without proper party imprint, something it insists was a mistake.

ten years ago today no one clapped

TIL the selfies I take in my building have looked exactly the same for two years now

Say hello to Hannah Spencer—councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and your Green Party candidate for Gorton and Denton 💚

🕑 The countdown is on! 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ days to go. Don't lose your vote - make sure you're registered by April 20th, and if you applied for a postal vote on/before Jan 30th 2024, you have 4 days to reapply! (Avoid getting into a conundrum 😉) @leedsgreenparty.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk

Labour have blown it. This is it. Time to take on Reform. Manchesters first Green MP is coming. Join us to help get them elected on Saturday. actionnetwork.org/events/a-gre...

Holbeck is home to Leeds' Kurdish Community Centre. Kurdish House Leeds have been stalwarts for our communities for over two decades! It was a privilege to join them last night for a film screening. The Kurdish community in Leeds has my full solidarity, with the news coming out of Rojava.

🚨 @scottishgreens.org have rekindled ties with @greenparty.org.uk This is after the Scottish Greens cut ties with the party in England and Wales 2022.

💚 I'm so, so grateful for the many people who came out with me today in Holbeck & Holbeck Urban Village!! And thank you to @greensorganise.bsky.social for helping organise today. ✊ Hope is here, and we're spreading the news. Get in touch if you can help too. THANK YOU! @leedsgreenparty.bsky.social

Personally if I was Anne Boleyn I’d be far more upset that someone made a musical about my head getting cut off

I can't believe the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize would do this.

🎆🥳 Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and hopeful 2026! 🥳🎆 From myself and your @leedsgreenparty.bsky.social team across Beeston, Cottingley, Elland Road, Holbeck, and Holbeck Urban Village.

🎄❄️ Merry Christmas from your Green team across South Leeds! ❄️🎄 Wishing everybody a restful, peaceful festive period. From Matt, Omar, and Ed 💚 @leedsgreenparty.bsky.social @edleeds.bsky.social

So this week its Crohns and Colitis Awareness Week, and I happen to be one of the 500,000 people in the UK living with Crohns Disease. I thought I’d share a few thoughts, because a lot has changed since I last posted about having Crohns. #HowCrohnsFeels #HowColitisFeels 🧵

Good morning :) (I need coffee 🥺)

Mhm 🙂‍↕️

In the spirit of #AbolishBadThings 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💚

The @transgreens.bsky.social and ourselves have revamped our Teemill website where the #ElectTheDolls t-shirts that we had at conference are now on sale. Do check it out: lgbtiqagreens.teemill.com

It's not just a social issue, it's a class issue. Insufficient LGBTIQA+ healthcare provision is a failure of government and creates a hierarchy of those who can afford it and those who cannot. There's no justice for any of us without justice for all of us. @mattrogan.bsky.social

♻️ Litter picking is an act of love - and we love our communities! 💚 We, your Green team, were out this evening litter picking and managed 4 bags in total. 👊 Get in touch if you can you help us take action against the problems we're facing across our areas!

The polls they are a changing...

📈 Across Leeds, and the country, the Green Party is SURGING! 💚 We're not here to be disappointed by Labour in Leeds. We're here to replace them. 📝 Want to help me and @leedsgreenparty.bsky.social do that? join.greenparty.org.uk

Draw the line. Join the Green Party today ⤵️ join.greenparty.org.uk?utm_source=s...

Okay this not the point but that t-shirt is fantastic so we should listen to him he's clearly wise

Fly-tipping, litter, and waste are an ongoing battle in our communities. But, we're taking action! Thanks to Cristiana and George for joining me in Cottingley this evening - we've been told about a hotspot for fly tipping, and we decided to do something about it.

Good evening! Thanks to everyone that attended our LGBTIQA+ Greens' Deputy Leader Hustings this evening. After the hustings finished for Deputy Leader, we received @mothinali.bsky.social's opening statement, and we thought we'd post it, for balance and fairness!

Brilliant to hear from Deputy Leader and GPEx candidates at this evening's @lgbtiqagreens.bsky.social hustings! Big thanks to candidates for their engagement with our community 💚 and a HUGE thanks to Kris & Melissa for organising & chairing!!

Good morning! It's the day we release the results from our pledges. Firstly, for leadership, we pitted the responses from @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social against @zackpolanski.bsky.social. You can view every response word-for-word @ lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

You'll notice I've not said anything about who I'm backing in the leadership elections yet. Who I endorse will be heavily down to our @lgbtiqagreens.bsky.social pledges - we need strong leadership on LGBTIQA+ issues from our would-be leadership team!

LGBTIQA+ pledges deadline! Thanks to the 28 candidates who have responded to our pledges. We will be publishing them all tomorrow. If you haven't yet responded, check your email and you have until the end of today to be included.

"We need to be in the room"

Section 28 was a dark period in the UK for LGBTIQA+ rights that did untold damage. Labour are bringing it back. We deserve better from a government that promised Change.

As Greens, we know that fighting for the environment goes hand-in-hand with all forms of liberation: LGBTIQA+ rights included! Check out the pledges we're asking our leadership & internal candidates to commit to. We'll share their responses once they've been received. ✊

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ LGBTIQA+ RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 We're asking candidates in the @greenparty.org.uk internal elections to pledge their support for our community. At a time when we're under attack, we need our LGBTIQA+ communities and our allies to stand in solidarity. Watch this space!

The only balance here is Labour balancing the books on the backs of disabled people, which isn't "right" whatsoever. Shame on every Labour MP that's backed down from opposing this rotten welfare bill, content with the same broken system. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Climate crisis? What climate crisis? news.sky.com/story/uk-cou...

Good to be at the West Yorkshire #WeDemandChange summit with @leedsgreenparty.bsky.social today, held right there in South Leeds! Lots of great discussions around how we build a better, fairer, greener future - and what changes we need to see for that to happen.

The team and I had a lovely time chatting to people on the Ingrams and Balms in Holbeck, finding out what local issues matter the most. Lots of enthusiasm that we can make a difference - let's turn it into reality? 🫶

Labour's "tough decisions" aren't tough on the wealthy, they're tough on us - especially in South Leeds. Billionaires & bosses are getting richer whilst our communities are worse off. It's time to ditch austerity and fight for fairness. Our communities deserve better. 💚 vm.tiktok.com/ZNdStYsJe/

Latest polling puts the Green Party in 4th place on 13%. Great stuff. But, we want that number even higher - can you join us to help build a people-powered movement in your area? >> join.greenparty.org.uk

🗞️ Our latest newsletter is spreading fast across Beeston & Holbeck! Great evening out with volunteers on the Southleighs & around Gipsy Lane, sharing our local updates with residents. Big thanks - and do be in touch if we can help with anything!

Huge thanks to Dr Pete Smith & Litter Free Leeds for Monday's 'Mean Streets to Clean Streets' event! Ready to tackle litter & fly-tipping? Get involved! Local groups like the Beeston Womblers & Better Beeston are already doing a stellar job locally - let's have that across all our communities too!
