🚨 The Greens challenged Reform and won with a huge majority in the Stoud council by-election last night📈💚

It's not looking good for the rest of the parties down south 🎉🎉

I see some people asking whether Scotland can act, because aviation & defence are reserved. Yes, but I'm talking specifically about infrastructure owned by the Scottish Government. They are not MOD assets; they operate commercially, and we simply don't need to accept Trump's forces as customers.

BREAKING: Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid has resigned the Labour Whip after her husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China. Story to follow.

The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding. New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025: 🟢 Green Party: £189,010 🟣 Reform UK: £5,456,000 Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.

Greens surge, Labour continues to fall. The crossover point is coming 💚🥀 Join our movement today & make it happen: members.greens.scot/join/standar...

Is that right now Joani 🤔

for anyone wondering why there’s so much unbridled joy on ScotPol Bluesky about the arrest of a Scottish Labour MP’s husband for spying for China, take your pick

Can we please vote for this kind of leadership, even just once, see how it works out aye

GOOD NEWS! Lawyers for Animals, alongside co-claimant Maria Iriart from Camp Beagle, are now pursuing a judicial review challenging the decision to classify the life sciences sector, including animal testing facilities, as key national infrastructure protectthewild.substack.com/p/judicial-r...

Yet another reminder of how vulnerable our reliance on fossil fuel makes us, and how absurd it is that the UK artificially links the retail price of cheap, clean renewables to expensive, dirty gas.

🚨 The Green Party are just THREE points behind Reform UK, approaching first place in the polls. 📈

EXCLUSIVE: The Scottish Government must cancel its exclusive agreement with Flamingo Land to stop them coming forward with a third planning application, Scottish Greens co-leader Ross Greer has said

🚨The Scottish Government is sending taxpayers' money to a Russia-linked gas company! Not a single penny of Scottish money should be sent to the Russian war machine. Greens are demanding the SNP cut ties with these war-profiteers immediately.

Beginning to think that the 'Board of Peace' might not be entirely legit.

Absolutely this. I’ve watched more than 50 years of war from that damn country and the pattern is always the same: mass civilian deaths, defeat for America, and chaos in their wake as they turn tail and run. They change nothing, they improve nothing. They make everything worse. Toddlers with guns.

There is only one nuclear armed state in the Middle East. It is Israel.

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states. The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

He looks & sounds AI generated, an utterly useless tool makers son. Israel continuing their terror spree & the US making sure they aren't holding elections this year. What a horrible World we have created. Men.

The most unpopular prime minister since records began stands resolutely behind the unprovoked attack on Iran by the two countries that are actively carrying out a genocide in the Middle East. But please, do elaborate more about "extremism on the Left", Mr Human Rights lawyer KC.

The people you run into on Buchanan St! Me and @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social had 2 mins between meetings to celebrate how many people have joined the @scottishgreens.org today! 💚 We're bringing hope back to politics. Join our movement 👇 members.greens.scot/join/standar...

Oh, the fragile tech bros are panicking.

Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV

The wipe out coming Labour's way will be exactly what this morally abject and politically dishonest project deserves.

NEW: The Scottish Greens will overtake Labour at the next Holyrood election, a major new poll has predicted 🚨

Lol, as we all should be doing.

Opposing genocide is not divisive. Taxing the super-rich is not divisive. Welcoming refugees is not divisive. If Starmer just doesn't know or care what progressive voters want, he will learn in May.

All us Greens this morning 💚

In Gorton and Denton, Muslims and non-Muslims chose to vote for a politics of hope. After years of politicians blaming migrants and minorities for all our problems, Mancunians voted to face down the politics of hate. In this unity, there is hope for our country.

You know who really are the biggest losers after the Greens win in Manchester? Not just Labour, Reform and the Tories, but the London media which has platformed and cosseted and cheerled for Reform. The Greens whipped two sets of extremists: billionaire-backed Reform and billionaire newspaper barons

Newsnight can put Zack Polanski in a Russian hat. They can portray him as Voldermort. James O'Brien can accuse him of "breaking Britain". It's not going to work this time, lads. People have seen too much. The electorate just knows more. Watch the attacks ramp up and recognise their toothlessness.

The fact Reform were left in the dirt as well tells you what we've said for a long time. A promise for change can be an antidote to right-wing rhetoric.

Starmer: “If you don’t like our policies you can leave.” Voters:

lol

Greens beat Reform! 💚 Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and our friends @greenparty.org.uk on their historic by-election victory in Gorton and Denton. We will never let the politics of hate divide us. The Greens will always put people and planet before profit.

God. It's been a long time since we've had something to celebrate in the UK. Thank you to everyone who campaigned, from folk on the streets to everyone posting on social media. But an even bigger thank you to the voters 🙏 💚

Apologies to all of Hannah's customers! Something exciting is happening. Be a part of it ⤵️

In the end it wasn’t even slightly close! Every newspaper (which was all of them) that said it was a “three way contest” was lying. Starmer needs to go, Labour needs to go, the fash are already on their way out. Only the Greens can beat fascism!

The most immediate effect of this is that progressive voters in Scotland, Wales, London councils, etc. that are coming up for election in May are going to see that Labour isn't the "tactical choice" to stop Reform and that could have some pretty drastic consequences.

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. Politics is in the sewars.

To the people of Gorton and Denton. Our arses are in your hands… #green #manchester #election #reformuk #comedy

Safe to say this is one of the most important by-elections of my time in politics. It could make the toppling of a Prime Minister inevitable. It could embolden the rise of the British far-right. It could end Labour hegemony on the English left. It could secure the status-quo. A big day.

Labour are getting desperate - they just got caught FAKING a tactical voting leaflet in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election By @skwawkbox.org

Vote Green 💚

Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

The Trans community couldn't have shouted any louder trying to warn us. The format has been perfected & will now be rolled out into other areas. Oh, and a larger scale of this is currently happening in Gaza, that to will be rolled out in time. Unity can still happen folks, it's in or hands.
