100% agree with my local Green Party @southglosgreens.bsky.social statement on flags 💚 We switched off from UK news in August while visiting my partner's family in Canada. Drove home from Gatwick after an overnight flight and both the motorway and our town was plastered in them. Chilling.

"We absolutely need to stop the boats,” Polanski said, “but let’s stop the boats by offering safe and legal routes to asylum and not having people clinging on to dinghies for dear life.* www.newstatesman.com/politics/gre...

Buses in our region are affected by strike action but where should we direct our anger? Not at the bus drivers, but at the bus companies and at politicians, both local and national, who have not done enough to support public control of our public services. southglos.greenparty.org.uk/2025/09/17/b...

Whether for love, work or to flee danger - people move. Always have and always will. It's the govt's job to make it work - but instead the failing Home Office wastes taxpayer money treating migrants like criminals. Time for something new - my report with ‪@zoejardiniere.bsky.social‬ out today.

More of Keir Starmers "tough decisions." Perfectly happy to protect the wealth of the super rich. What about protecting nature? We're in a biodiversity crisis - and these years we're losing are devastating.

Govt trying to tell us that the only way to tackle the housing crisis is to bulldoze over nature & local communities so developers can build build build. But what are they building - the affordable homes we need, or the ones that make them the most profit? hyphenonline.com/2025/05/19/h...

First they came for the elderly, now Labour are robbing people with disabilities. They're like Robin Hood in reverse. Only the Green Party has consistently opposed benefit cuts, we'll continue to fight Labour's plans in Parliament and on local councils. Join us today: join.greenparty.org.uk

The government could save households £100s a year on their energy bills by making these three changes ⬇️ Why wait?

The big problem in today's society is that the richest 1% of people & corporations are ripping off the rest of us. Making us pay more, for lower quality products, and dodging taxes so that our NHS & other services suffer. Only the Green Party can & will take them on. #VoteGreen

If you care about democracy we can't be on the back foot all the time, the far right are winning elections worldwide - it's time to get active and join a people powered movement for a better world 💪🌍 join.greenparty.org.uk

If you voted Labour to get rid of Tory Sleaze, or to head off the threat of the racist Reform party, you're probably disappointed in today's news about Labour's vile WhatsApp messages & their boasting about immigration raids to cover it up (!) There's a better alternative. join.greenparty.org.uk

Labour, the Conservatives and Reform UK are three wings of the same far-right movement causing chaos in the US. They work for the rich, we work for you. Make sure the UK gets a green government for the people in 4 years time. Join NOW: join.greenparty.org.uk

Great to see our friends at @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social implementing more school streets. These have been a huge success in Paris, where bikes now outnumber cars for many journeys 💪

The high winds put paid to our planned nature walk (climate change is real, people), but the pub was a great backup for last Sunday's Christmas social 🍻 If you want to get more involved with our green community, a social is a great place to start, and we'll plan many more next year. See you soon?

Are you frustrated about the constant climate misinformation you see parroted across social media? We believe this should be countered by a strong government information campaign on the climate crisis. Give people the scientific facts and they can make informed judgements. Sign now to help out:

Elon Musk may be about to give $100 million to Nigel Farage to support a future far-right UK government 😱 We're a people-backed movement - we don’t court billionaire donors but to meet their challenge we need people giving what they can. Donate here: southglos.greenparty.org.uk/donate/

Just look at the tram system that was in Bristol at the start of the 20th century 🚋😍 Local transport has gone backwards since then, with an overloaded road system creaking at the seams. Trams are a big part of the solution and we support @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social efforts to bring them back!

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Today, and every day, we recognise the important role people with disabilities play in creating a more inclusive and sustainable world for all.

The devastation of Storm Bert reminds us: climate change is here, and it's hitting the UK hard. While Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage deny the urgency of net zero, the Greens call for the bold, transformative action the UK and our planet needs.

Frightening scenes of flooding across South Glos in the past 24 hours, with emergency services brought in to evacuate residents in Yate. Climate change is here now, with previously extreme flooding events now becoming the norm. We need radical action on climate now. The future won't wait.

Today is Equal Pay Day, when women effectively stop being paid compared to their male colleagues. We would require all large and medium-size companies to carry out equal pay audits and redress any inequality uncovered. Equal pay for equal work should not be too much to ask.
