Poor research led to one of our Bristol Cllr’s, Abdul Malik, being wrongly slurred on BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme this morning with claims he said terrible things about Jewish people. Yesterday, Abdul and his fellow ward Councillors issued this statement about the terrible synagogue attack.

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)

How do we fix this mess?

I'm sure Steve Smith would feel the same if something fundamental to HIS personal identity was being mocked and at the centre of a years long culture war. Fortunately for him, being white, male and a bit of a twit don't need to be protected characteristics. www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history. And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

We've been making steady steps forward in recent years, but now we need to take a huge stride. The political stage is set for a real alternative that challenges the elites and gives power to the people. We need to grab it with both hands with @zackpolanski.bsky.social as our next Green Party leader!

Congratulations to @is0belrussell.bsky.social for passing this motion opposing Bristol Airport expansion. 84% of people oppose expansion (although Bristol Labour abstained...); @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social stand against this pointless climate-wrecking. www.bristol247.com/climate/news...

The government wants to impose a system of local government EVERYWHERE. But what of communities - like Sheffield & Bristol - that don't want this? #democracy - it would be a good idea @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social @sheffgreenparty.bsky.social @local.gov.uk

Debunking some myths!

@is0belrussell.bsky.social: “Limiting airport expansion is not about penalising people who fly once or even twice a year. 63% of the new passenger traffic seen over the past two decades has been caused by frequent and even ultra frequent flyers.”

The Labour government are trying to make Palestine Action a proscribed terrorist group We are all against genocide, no? Then we are all Palestine Action. Labour yet again lashing out at anyone who disagrees with them Sign here to reject this absurdity palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk

Tenants at Queen's Court are living in appalling conditions and frankly I've been shocked by the property management company's failure to do its basic duties. I won't let this drop - will keep fighting for residents. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

weapons-grade morons

This morning @greenparty.org.uk has called for the EHRC’s harsh and ill-considered guidance on single-sex spaces to be withdrawn. As it stands the guidance puts trans people at risk of discrimination & violence, and clearly hasn’t been drawn up with trans people’s input. I’ll be pushing for better.

A big Green win! The govt has confirmed it will move ahead with a new Natural History GCSE—something we’ve long fought for. Delighted to have helped secure this commitment. Now let’s make sure it truly equips young people to protect nature & tackle the climate crisis!

It's not antisemitic to oppose genocide.

You can help too! Use this handy guide and write to your local MP to demand change: docs.google.com/document/d/1... 2/2

✊ LABOUR AUSTERITY IS STILL AUSTERITY ✊ Cllr Izzy Russell explains how Bristol Greens are cleaning up after Bristol Labour's mess and demands more from this Labour government. 1/2

• UK billionaires saw their wealth grow by £35 million per day in 2024 • 5 major energy companies made £240 billion in profits since 2020 • Corporate profit margins 30% up since before the pandemic Yet Labour wants to cut welfare 🥀 join.greenparty.org.uk

The Government is planning to unveil more than £6 billion of welfare cuts that will see even people with extreme disabilities lose money. None of this is necessary. Billions could be raised by taxing the super-rich fairly. Labour are choosing to punish the most vulnerable.

💷 DID YOU KNOW THAT THIS LABOUR GOVERNMENT HAS GIVEN A SMALLER INCREASE TO BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL FUNDING THAN THE TORIES DID?!?! 💷 Cllr Shona Jemphrey is demanding more from Starmer and Reeves. How do we fund it you ask? Well….wealth taxes of course!

Bristol city council budget setting meeting right now.. Bristol Labour are embarrassing themselves and the council So far they’ve taken advantage of DV survivors, trying to guilt trip and scare people into voting for their amendments, blaming greens for THEIR previous cuts..

Things we love to see: Democracy! Parties working together for the best of the city! Collecting public opinion in consultations! Eg the council’s consultation on waste collection (ps fill it in please!) www.ask.bristol.gov.uk/waste-consul...

Bristol SU has joined the 14 other European Universities recognising that plant based food is more sustainable, ethical, and that we need to facilitate making it more accessible. Quote from me at the end :) www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

Bristol Labour admitting the quiet part out loud: under their administration, Council consultations weren't worth the paper they were written on. @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social sees consultations differently: as vital parts of decision making, not just a box-tick exercise.

A lovely community park project that I’m supporting! Some of my words towards the end of the article x www.bristol247.com/climate/news...

I've just registered my opposition to plans to expand Bristol Airport - they're not only reckless and irresponsible in the face of the climate crisis but would expose residents to severe noise, road congestion and pollution. The consultation closes today: bristolairport-futureplans.co.uk

Setting the record straight on Bristol’s waste & recycling consultation! 1/2

The Chancellor wants to give new runways the go-ahead. This sets our climate on course for a crash landing. We can’t let these plans take off. I’ve just used @wearepossible.bsky.social's webtool to ask my MP to stand against this. Will you do the same? action.wearepossible.org/page/164843/...

BREAKING 🚨: WE WON OUR CASE AGAINST ROSEBANK. The court has ruled the oil field UNLAWFUL and Rosebank’s approval has been overturned. This is a monumental victory in the fight for a liveable future for all.

Today I asked an Urgent Qu: why would the Govt not wait for new Climate Change Committee advice due in February before announcing new runways and bigger airports? We will see in the morning if ministers act as utterly recklessly as they have trailed…

Fund councils properly! “Local councils across the UK need this money, so that they can serve their residents better.” 1/2

The Council has launched a consultation on waste and recycling. Here's why: - 41% of what goes in #Bristol's black bins could be recycled. - More recycling and less rubbish would help the environment *and* save the city money. Could we make that happen? ➡️ www.ask.bristol.gov.uk/waste-consul...

A violent criminal? A threat to society? A danger to democracy? No, no and no. This is someone being punished again and again for giving a damn about humanity and the living world. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

If I were a Labour MP right now I’d defect to @thegreenparty. @simonforstroud www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Two-party politics is over. Which way do you want to turn next? youtu.be/cPn3U96YBHE?...

Ketamine is a hell of a drug.

Absolutely terrible that councils are being forced to do this. The Labour government pretends to want more people to have a warm, affordable home but they haven't raised tax on the wealthiest to make it happen and communities suffer as a consequence. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Great news as Bristol City Council is to officially recognise Care Experienced as a Protected Characteristic 🎉. The recommendation was unanimously approved at Full Council this week. More info: news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

The Renters' Rights Bill is a welcome step towards improved living standards for renters. But there's a gaping hole in the legislation... We desperately need rent controls to stop tenants being treated as cash cows by landlords.

I've written to Rachel Reeves about the financial struggles facing councils across the country & the impossible choices they're having to make. Public services have been cut to the bone & we're all feeling the impact. We need to see a wealth tax, not further cuts.

I gave my maiden speech at full council today! Our Green Party motion for Palestine, with an amendment after a lot of collaboration with the Lib Dems and Labour, passed today I feel proud to have spoken up for Palestine and of Bristol I speak at around 2:23:00 www.youtube.com/live/wvYi5Ts...

@timemagazine.bsky.social naming donald trump as person of the year - gross

The Western media will never be forgiven for their role in Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/the-wester...

An honour to be named Bristol24/7's Person of the Year! As I said to the paper this week, 2024 has been the best year of my life so far... as well as being fairly stressful and intense on occasion 😅 Looking forward to a wee break, then roll on 2025!

Good news in the official transport statistics: - Rail journeys increased by 12% on the previous year - Bus journeys (in England outside London) increased by 10% But the large majority of travel is still done by car. More action is needed to make public transport attractive!
