Sky News think a Green PM isn't out of the question This is wild!

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations! His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind. It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Unfortunately no time for speeches on Labour's motion “Protecting fair access to IVF treatment” at full council today, but I'm really glad it and our amend passed. Shocking that gynaecology waiting list is the largest one per 100,000 in South Yorkshire NHS: it's nearly tripled in the last 5 years!

Labour have learned absolutely nothing from losing majority control of Sheffield council, and are nationally repeating the same mistakes. Labour to abolish the committee system 🤦‍♂️ questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-stat...

Urgent: don't cut disability benefits. It is wrong to balance the books by taking from the people who are least able to pay Sign the petition: r.ippl.es/benefit-cuts/ @sheffgreenparty.bsky.social @martinphipps13.bsky.social

Labour are continuing to do a great job... disillusioning voters who thought they'd be getting change 🫠 Proportional representation, now. UK deserves better than the two Tory parties www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BREAKING: Treasury minister @darrenpjones.bsky.social refuses to explain why the government is cutting support for disabled young people instead of taxing the super-rich fairly 👇🏼

Absolutely shocking to see a Labour secretary of state stand at the despatch box and proudly announce slashing support for some of those who need it most - including removing the UC health top-up for young people, as if young disabled people don't exist?! #DisabilityBenefits

Who does this Labour government represent? They have a big majority with only 33.7% of the vote (and turnout was only 59.8%) How many people who voted for them did so they could cut disability benefits? Tax the rich, don't punish those in need of support www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This Wednesday (12th March) I will be joining the panel for All Together, One at a Time, @sayitsheffield.bsky.social LGBTQ+ Activism Panel Discussion at Sheffield Central Library

Morning ☕️ I can’t believe my petition is now less than 1000 signatures away from a government debate. I’ve been doing this with no evangelical 💰 media or Twitter. Please share and help get this over the line. Protect us from MAGA fascism petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

✍ Dear Labour, Some ideas to tackle poverty 👇 ✔ Scrap the two-child benefit cap. ✔ Bring back winter fuel payments. ✔ Insulate homes. Yours, The Green Party

We are doing ok for followers but this account hasn’t really picked up like Blue Bird did and the working hypothesis on this is that BlueSky has all the nice people on it and they know how to navigate life and #Sheffield and it makes them happier and more pleasant.

This is PATHETIC! Labour taking nationalisation off the table before it even STARTS its review of Water sector. Tell them we’re having none of it👇💪💪

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Free speech "is in retreat" in Britain, says JD Vance, who is part of a Government which is now targeting critical news organisations with politically-motivated investigations, while banning others from the White House for the crime of referring to the Gulf of Mexico by its actual name

What’s the point in refusing citizenship to refugees who have ‘made a dangerous journey’? What’s the point in publishing footage of people being deported? I’m sorry to say that this is simply a continuation of the performative cruelty we saw from the Conservatives.

Labour's disgusting deportation stunt this week wasn't just morally bankrupt, it was politically stupid. Politicians need to find the backbone to be honest about the real source of our problems: the wealthy elite draining money from our communities metro.co.uk/2025/02/11/l...

Labour are making inequality in the UK even worse. And rather than reverse - they're now blaming vulnerable people instead. It's just another version of Reform. Join the alternative: join.greenparty.org.uk

Of course he doesn’t *actually* support it. He is intelligent and knows it would a climate disaster. He’s just being crushed by the Labour Party machine. There is an alternative that will always speak out on this join.greenparty.org.uk

Next week, Sheffield City Council will become the latest local authority to debate a motion calling for the divestment of pension funds from companies enabling Israel’s grave violations of international law. We call on ALL Sheffield councillors to support this motion.

From Elon Musk to Nigel Farage to Keir Starmer: these people do not care. They don't care about nature. They don't care about inequality. They don't care about you. We need to challenge the disastrous turn our politics is taking: Join.greenparty.org.uk

So Labour can find the money to 'relax' their changes to the non-dom tax regime but they can't find the money to restore the winter fuel allowance or lift children out of poverty by scrapping the two-child benefit cap 🤔 Whose side are they on?

This iteration of Labour really are the Continuity Conservative Party, aren't they?

The catastrophe of Starmerism is paving the way for Nigel Farage. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/the-starme...

This is genuinely very concerning

EXCLUSIVE 💥 For weeks I've been investigating Oliver Coppard's plan to use vast sums of public money to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport What I found was shocking: not only is it environmentally reckless, there's also serious unanswered questions over the business case ⬇️ @nowthenmag.bsky.social

Did you vote Labour in 2024? Is this what you voted for?

The scale of suffering we're seeing in Gaza is intolerable, and the UK government must act now to immediately end its complicity. The UK is still providing parts for F-35 Strike Fighters which are being used in Gaza - I will keep pushing for an end to all arms sales to Israel.

Mark Zuckerberg sports $900,000 watch as he calls time on Meta fact-checking. Capitalism without social responsibility. Billionaires with no empathy for victims of misinformation, will polarise society. Trump sycophants will target free thinkers. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"They don’t have ordinary people’s interests at heart." @carladenyer.bsky.social on how to defeat far-right figures like Elon Musk. Read the full piece below ⤵️ https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/stand-farright-billionaires-threatening-democracy

Fact-checking is not censorship. Requesting evidence is not censorship. Refuting falsehoods is not censorship. Stopping a lie from travelling halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on is not censorship. But Zuckerberg's grovelling to Trump will sure as hell lead to censorship.

On a day when the likes of Musk and Robinson decided to spread divisiveness across the country, scapegoating Muslims, the Green Team were out in our little patch of the world, trying to create unity and actually solve some of the issues facing our communities. #real #leeds

An image of Mothin was included in a viciously Islamophobic video posted by Tommy Robinson & vastly amplified by Elon Musk. These attacks are unhinged, libellous & extremely dangerous. Mothin has worked tirelessly for the good of his entire community & is a credit to the @greenparty.org.uk.

The brilliant @mothinali.bsky.social was elected the same night as me, and I’m continually amazed by his achievements. All whilst standing up to lies, misinformation and people sowing division. Mothin has remained cheery, visible and active across his community in Leeds. Solidarity, Mothin.

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲 Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported. You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

The government's Plan A is "rely on growth to tackle our many problems". What is Plan B? Reminder, you can't have infinite growth on a finite planet, and now when there is growth, the profits go to the few, not the many www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...
