We are delighted to say that our letter to the leaders and our elected representatives got a response, and that it was so timely! It's quite an in-depth response, and I don't think we can cover literally everything, but we're happy with the response we got.

After the For Women Scotland ruling, and now this, is it time to look at whether the Supreme Court is fit for purpose?

I'm sure most of you know about this bastard thing already but I'd missed it. Just in case you have also been living under a rock here's some info about Microsoft using AI in Windows 11 and how to turn it off (because, of course, it's on by default).

Last week the new Lord Mayor was elected at the Birmingham City Council AGM. The leader of the Green Group, Councillor Pritchard, has sent this letter in support of the words spoken by the Imam invited by the Lord Mayor. He spoke about unity, respect and honesty in a positive and inclusive way.

New profile picture. After the last few weeks, I needed a weekend away in the country to recharge and resupply for the work to come

Happy Pride to everyone attending @birminghampride.bsky.social today! We're PROUD to stand up for all LGBTQ+ rights. #BirminghamPride

I can still barely believe it. After 2 years of tireless campaigning, myself and @brumgreenjoe.bsky.social were elected to Birmingham City Council with a more than 1,000 votes more than our closest rival in Reform. I am taking the weekend to recover and recharge, then the real work begins!

🎵I'm still standing!🎵

9 hours down, 6 to go. How are we all feeling?

Quote from a voter: "I know getting anything done is like pushing water uphill, but just knowing someone is trying makes a difference, and i know you'll try"

Polling Station #3

I'm stood outside a very pretty polling station this morning

This election is going to produce real change in the city I love. I'm proud to be standing to make that a hopeful, positive change alongside @brumgreenjoe.bsky.social

McSweeney: "We procured two strong candidate for [the PM]: One was Mandelson and the other was George Osborne." Christ above. What did the weak candidates look like.

For the first time ever, Birmingham Greens have a candidate in every single council ward in the local elections, meaning every Brummie can #VoteGreenInBrum on 7 May. Our candidates for Billesley: Chris Garghan and Joe Peacock. Full list of candidates at birmingham.greenparty.org.uk/candidates-2...

'Maybe later' or 'continue' Tech companies have a really creepy aversion to the word 'no'

It's official. BBC News is a Reform propaganda channel.

Our ambition has risen, but so has the number of volunteers needed! Let me know if you can help 💚

If you were in charge of Star Trek, what would you do? 2 proposals: ST: Hope - A medical drama series set on a hospital ship. Provides aid outside the borders of the UFP like Medicin Sans Frontiers ST: JAG - All legal drama all the time. A specialist ship sent to resolve disputes

I feel like the Pokémon company is leaving into *that* copypasta with this artwork 🤨

Yesterday Hannah Spencer MP came to Birmingham to help us celebrate having a candidate in every single one of the 101 Birmingham local council seats, meaning EVERYONE in Brum can #VoteGreen on May 7! #VoteGreenInBrum

Privileged to work alongside @cpgarghan.bsky.social on our campaign to turn Billesley Green. It's a battle to keep Reform out. Everyone's fed up of the old parties, so we have to convince them that hope can triumph over hate. #VoteGreen If you can help us deliver or canvass, get in touch.

Now - let's turn Birmingham Green too! #VoteGreenInBrum #VoteGreen www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

🚨NEW: Greens joint top in first ever poll 📊 Happy Easter 🐣🟢

Ed Miliband has sold us all out. The climate movement, the environmental sector - and most importantly - our future generations. No longer can Labour claim to have the odd minister who "gets it." They're bought and paid for.

So it turns out the real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-bb...

The mainstream is catching up with Zack. But they will pretend not to notice that they're now saying what they were vilifying him for saying a couple of weeks ago.

🚨 The Greens are in second place - at 18%, according to POLITICO's Poll of Polls. 📈💚

Nemesis is an amazing game for emergent storytelling. Without following any script or roleplaying, we ended up with a heroic space captain, a treacherous scientist, cowardly drug-obsessed pilot, an engineer holding the ship together and a soldier fighting a heroic last stand.

No, I am not worried about 'declining' birth rates, I accept them as post-modern birth rates, the birth rates that naturally happen once the conditions are set that children can be expected to survive to adulthood reliably and that women are allowed to be educated and become full citizens.

They always want the left to compromise and not be so stubborn with ideological purity but then throw a tantrum when we do, because our version of compromise doesn't involve cheerleading fascism

I don’t love the boobs thing but it’s utterly trivial compared to abolishing jury trials, holding political prisoners for over a yr without trial, treating migrant care workers like sh*t, holding benefits below liveable level, not renationalising water, wimping out of challengin corporate interests

How can this possibly be legal? Pretty sure this comes under 'treating' laws

Amazing day yesterday, having doorknocked a quarter of the ward and delivered literature to even more. Shattered today, though!

In 60 days, the UK will head to the polls. No, it's not a General Election. It's the Local Elections including the Scottish and Welsh elections. Here’s what you can do to help get Greens elected: 1) Join @greenparty.org.uk or @scottishgreens.org 2) get involved

London isn't the only place where Greens are putting in a good effort. Today in Birmingham, we knocked on more than 2,000 doors, delivered thousands of leaflets. @zackpolanski.bsky.social @brumgreens.bsky.social

Something is happening in Birmingham Green Party! More than 100 people came to our campaign launch for the local elections in May! We have about 80 people signed up for an Action day in just one ward on Saturday It's amazing to see the party grow so quickly! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/2026-start...

When people say that drug legalisation would lead to Crack cocaine in every playground, remind them that guns are legal, just really highly regulated, and you can't pick up a Glock in Tesco or an AK-47 from the middle aisle in Lidl.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social, I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all. Thanks, Zack Polanski

Starfleet Academy Ep.8. Wow. THAT is what ep.7 should have been. Beautiful. Heartbreaking. Affecting. The first great episode of this series

Do you want to help stop Reform here in Birmingham as well as Manchester? The local council elections are coming up in May and we are standing in EVERY ward in Birmingham - and we need more volunteers to help us defeat the despair and division of the far-right. Sign-up at join.greenparty.org.uk
