There’s a lot of misinformation out there being spread by the Newham Independents Party about last nights council meeting. They say we have joined with Labour in an “unholy alliance.” Here’s what actually happened 🧵👇

I can’t believe the size of our council group!! 16 of us elected in Newham – helping to end the unbroken streak of Labour control. Thank you again to @areeq.bsky.social, @newhamgreens.bsky.social, to everyone who volunteered, and everyone who put their trust in us to bring hope and deliver change.

Thank you so much everyone who came out to vote and who helped with our polling day operations across Newham. Looking forward to results tomorrow! Big things ahead for @newhamgreens.bsky.social.

GOOD MORNING! Polls are OPEN! In the Olympic Park this means voting for four more years of hardworking Green councillors – but elsewhere in Newham, London, and across the UK this means millions of people voting Green for the first time.

Joe & I need more volunteers to help get out the vote on election day THIS THURSDAY From 7am-10pm whatever time you can give will be appreciated - knocking doors, standing at polling stations, keeping volunteers fed or managing data, there’s something for everyone actionnetwork.org/events/help-...

More than 100 members of @newhamgreens.bsky.social are out turning Newham Green with @zackpolanski.bsky.social today! Only we have a plan for a Newham people can afford.

Great hearing from @areeq.bsky.social while we wait for @zackpolanski.bsky.social – this is Newham’s most competitive election ever. It’s between the same-old Labour party, the “independent” landlord party, or Greens who will root out corruption and work hard for residents.

Was on my way to campaign with @zackpolanski.bsky.social but we stopped to report this burst water irrigation pipe outside Chobham Academy. Hopefully it’ll get fixed before much more water is lost! Remember the local elections are less than two weeks away on Thursday the 7th of May!

Almost 100 of us out today with @zackpolanski.bsky.social to get @areeq.bsky.social elected and turn Newham GREEN!

Great responses on the doors in Stratford and the Olympic Park today! Newham is voting Green! @newhamgreens.bsky.social

Nate and I need your help to get elected this May. We’ve got just under nine weeks to go – and every penny helps to get the Greens re-elected in Newham’s Stratford Olympic Park! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/re-elect-t...

Even in the rain there were so many of us from @newhamgreens.bsky.social out today to get @areeq.bsky.social elected Newham’s first Green Mayor of Newham!

Thank you everyone for the support so far… But if you have a moment to spare, A55 and A58 still need a few more supporters to get through!

Attention Green Party members! These spring conference motions need your help – it only takes a click! A23: tinyurl.com/ms5yatfb A55: tinyurl.com/34ka3yw6 A58: tinyurl.com/5n7f4aak

A packed first meeting of the Save Newham Libraries campaign here in Forest Gate! Our libraries are vital public services that support everyone from kids to the elderly –

We’re out in the cold here in Tower Hamlets in solidarity with Heba, Kamran, and Lewie. They’re still in prison and still on hunger strike because Labour and our government are complicit in apartheid and genocide. As Greens we won’t forget what they’ve done.

Help turn Newham greener by electing 10 Green councillors in 2026 to build a strong, people-powered opposition to Labour, to deliver social, climate and housing justice. We need £6,000 for our boldest campaign yet. Donate now: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elect-ten-... 💚 📲 Please share!
