Incredible news. A campaign for freedom that is close to my heart. Huge love to Alaa Abd el-Fattah, Laila his mother, and his whole family for their tireless work to get him home at last 💚

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Absurd. How little does this Government care about the climate? Squeezing out 100k more flights a year won’t improve people’s daily lives. Investing in a growing green economy to lower bills, create high-paid jobs and cut deadly air pollution will! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So necessary, so welcome, so late, and so insufficient from our Government.

During this period almost all the local party officers had access to a dashboard that would show you the total membership numbers. IIRC we had to be told to stop all refreshing this page every ten seconds as we were adding to the massive load on the system ;)

In the #GreenSurge of 2015, the biggest day saw 3,000 people join the party. Could you help us towards that today?

Crucial step forward for the #AssistedDyingBill. A powerful debate highlighting the need for compassion, dignity, & individual choice. Thank you to all those who spoke in support! humanists.uk/2025/09/19/a...

🏠 Taking on landlords 💷 ⁠Universal basic income 👶 ⁠Free childcare for all @sianberry.bsky.social takes you through three Green policies to help massively bring down the cost of living for everyone in this country.

Huge congratulations to Brighton's newest Green councillor Marina! 💚💚💚

💚 We hope to have the result in Queen's Park early this afternoon, but win or lose, we know we could not have asked for a better candidate, or a better team of activists in this by-election. 🔥 A massive thank you to everyone who played a part in Marina's campaign!

Today's the day! Polls are open in Queen’s Park and the choice is clear: vote Green and elect Marina Lademacher!

It is my mission to see solar panels on as many roofs as possible. Great to catch up with @bhesco.bsky.social at one of their projects and hear about the new community energy scheme with residents in Preston Park #Brighton. Lots more here 👇 bhesco.co.uk/community/pr...

Using British fun, humour and ridicule to oppose tyrants is real patriotism.

How much more evidence does our Government need before it ends its complicity in this genocide? Where is the red line for real, moral action? The British public supports a full arms embargo and sanctions, the Government must now finally listen.

This event is tomorrow. It kicks off with a fireside chat with @sianberry.bsky.social and @barrysheerman.bsky.social If you’ve any questions you’d like me to ask about their campaign work on SUVs let me know.

If you happen to be in London on Thursday, go see the incredible @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social in conversation. One of the most impressive campaigners you could ever encounter, the powerhouse behind #EllasLaw, now with a stunning portrait in National Portrait Gallery. npg.org.uk/whatson/even...

Assisted dying already exists in Britain — but only for those with money, health & confidence to reach Switzerland. That profound inequality leaves many dying in harrowing conditions. We must do better. #AssistedDying #DignityInDeath My full speech - bit.ly/Assisteddyin...

"People are crying out for real change. In Queen’s Park, there's only one choice: voting Green." Hilary Schan of We Deserve Better backs Marina Lademacher in the Queen's Park by-election on September 18th. @wedeservebetteruk.bsky.social

Paid a visit to the London arms fair today... Found a component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display. Confirmed by staff, and removed swiftly by event organisers. But what else remains? These vile weapons should never be peddled in the UK.

Why is the Government so tragically unenterprising when it comes to electric buses? TfL has been procuring only electric buses since 2021, but Govt wants to wait until at least 2030 for a national mandate. Dirty air is a killer, we need #EllasLaw and much (!) more ambition.

Democracy is a fantasy if our politicians conceal meetings like this. I proactively publish a log of all my policy meetings, something that should be made standard practice for every single MP. We are elected to work for you, not deep-pocketed corporations with an agenda.

Questions of why anyone would pay to hear Boris Johnson speak aside, this is another shocking example of how weak our lobbying rules are. The door will keep revolving without stronger transparency and accountability measures. Abusing allowances like this is criminal.

The Labour government made a big fuss around banning the Israeli delegation from the DSEI arms fair. Despite that, they've allowed 51 Israeli arms companies to exhibit their weapons Spectators are banned, but the weapons manufacturers are allowed... More rank hypocrisy!

This week 51 Israeli companies will exhibit at the DSEI arms fair in London. Israeli Govt delegates are banned, but those supplying the actual weapons for genocide are ready to sell, sell, sell. Nothing but hollow words from this Government when it comes to stopping war crimes.

Speaking at a meeting held alongside TUC Congress today, Green MP @sianberry.bsky.social said the government is 'one of the worst versions of the Labour Party we could possibly imagine'

This made my day today. Police pulled over a dalek outside DSEI, London's arms fair, scanned the QR code on its lanyard and were taken to my fake Royal Navy recruitment website - royalnavy.org.uk

One reason we need seats to match votes is to ensure minority groups with a significant presence in every constituency have their voices listened to. A very good illustration of this principle is LGBTIQA+ people.

"You're not just going to tweak it... we want to create a fairer society!" This Labour party doesn't give a shit about any of us. They're too afraid of pissing off their donors to do anything meaningful. Greens are arguing for real solutions - are you with us? @sianberry.bsky.social

I work to raise standards in public life, and along with that we need more respect for people in public life too, not targeted attacks to drive them out of it. A shameful incident against the DPM, in the city I also live in: www.theargus.co.uk/news/2544075...

Our Government should have no business meeting with an agent of genocide.

New column! I visited the ingenious team behind Gomi, a Brighton studio creating speakers and phone backs from non-recyclable plastic. Trump's tariffs are hitting our small businesses hard, and Govt must do more to oppose his divide and rule tactics. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2542937...

Latest 💩 sewage 💩 alert. Southern Water hiked bills more than any other water supplier this year. Is the money being used to fix Brighton’s Victorian water system? Clearly not! It is diabolical that these private companies continue to profit while our coast is polluted.

👏Fantastic to see @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social, seconded by Win as One–endorsed candidate @sianberry.bsky.social, call for Sussex mayoral elections to use Supplementary Voting without delay. Huge credit to our Sussex group for mobilising supporters to contact MPs & raise this in the Chamber!

I’ll be moderating the intro panel at this reduce-SUVs-in-cities event in London in two weeks, speaking with experts @sianberry.bsky.social and @barrysheerman.bsky.social Thanks to @olord.bsky.social and the Clean Cities campaign for organising. @cleancitiescampaign.org #carspreading

Brilliant achievement for the Sussex and Kent ME Society, of which I am a very proud patron. Congratulations to Colin and his team, this is a testament to all their hard work! 👏 www.theargus.co.uk/news/2543147...

Huge congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social elected as the next Leader of @greenparty.org.uk 👏👏 Greens are on the up. We have already achieved so much, but there is more to be done offering a true alternative to this dire version of Labour. Let’s get to it! 💚

Today’s increase in term-time childcare hours won’t succeed without more focus on overburdened, underpaid workers. Govt must fund it properly, not just pass the cost to suppliers. I have set out a real vision for universal free childcare with Mandu Reid: www.sianberry.org.uk/publications...

Just 1.5 minutes, with minimal hesitation and repetition, and no deviation, of the exact opposite of what Reform has to say on people claiming asylum in this country. Good for BBC Westminster Hour to be making the space for these values - which are truly, really British.

My whole being sighs with relief when I hear clear common sense and truth spelled out, as it was by @sianberry.bsky.social on #bbcwestminsterhour on Saturday. Listen from 13.15, with Sian's main contribution at 21.10 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Read thread for a summary 🧵1/3

Huge congratulations to Ross and Gillian! And absolute tributes to Lorna and Patrick who have been fantastic leaders, and wonderful colleagues, through really momentous times for Greens both north and south of the border. 👏👏💚💚🙏

💧Thames Water is drowning in debt. The government has to make a choice. It can prioritise profit, or put people & planet first through permanent public ownership. Its great to have @sianberry.bsky.social‬ supporting our call! Get your MP to take the pledge. Email them today 👇 vist.ly/447zp

Reading is fundamental 📚 But three libraries in #Brighton are facing closure, including the fab Westdene Library I visited last week. This shows, even though a new Govt is in place, austerity lingers on. Have your say and urge Labour to think again👇 www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/news/2025/sh...

Latest inflation figures suggest that if the Government re-uses its July RPI + 1% formula to increase rail fares, we could be paying 5.8% more for train travel next year. This cannot continue! Much needed rail investment will mean little if no one can afford to take the train.

Kidical Mass is run by informal local groups with no significant funding or charitable status. They do fantastic grassroots cycling advocacy in a way which is difficult for the usual cycling opponents to attack. Unglamorous crowdfunder but necessary - please contribute!

Government plans for a PR operation in favour of a growing nuclear arsenal are both morally repugnant & militarily reckless. We need to get more serious about promoting a far-reaching public education campaign setting out the true existential threat they pose. My letter to @theguardian.com

Expanding police live facial recognition vans to new areas (including Sussex) without MPs ever debating new laws for using this technology is pure dystopia. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you have been stopped, challenged or harassed when using a gendered space (such as toilets or changing rooms) since the UK's Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act we need to hear from you. Let us know at: tinyurl.com/ReportALoo #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary #Queer #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #LGBT

As long as people are stuck in car dependency without good public transport, those who should not be behind a wheel will be forced to resist rules to restrict them. Ending road death MUST mean green transport ££ and lower speeds, car sizes and traffic, not just action on drivers.

There is almost no transparency when it comes to lobbying MPs. We all need to know who politicians are listening to. Today I have published a log of every private policy meeting with campaigners, unions, charities and businesses in my first year as an MP. Every MP should have to do the same.

This is not caused primarily by "screen time". It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
