Half a million strong. Together. The biggest march against the far-right in British history.

Derbyshire Dales Greens marching with the Together Alliance in London today

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

This is a shameful move by the Home Secretary. Voters are deserting Labour because we are a better country than they think we are.

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

Legalising and regulating drugs is about reducing the harm and deaths caused by drug use, and treating addicts rather than criminalsing them. It is appalling that Labour and Reform are playing politics with people's lives.

Out in Wirksworth today delivering our newsletter. Lots of congratulations from residents as we went round. What a huge breakthrough electing Hannah was - the sky's the limit!

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere. It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

The Greens comfortably won a key UK by-election, suggesting that they are able to outcompete Keir Starmer as the primary leftwing opposition to Reform in Labour heartlands. Follow our blog for live updates and analysis: ft.trib.al/diEVgAe

Can't argue with them numbers!

Big win in Gorton & Denton! Fantastic! Congratulations to Hannah, Izzy and all of the team!

You can have a drugs policy based on evidence, best practice from around the world, speaking to clinicians, experts, drug users, their relatives and the police, like the Green Party. Or you can have drugs policy based on the Daily Mail comments section, like Labour.

Farage 'mask off' as Reform offers lifeline to bad bosses and rogue landlords "Reform has shown what it really thinks of working people," says UNISON general secretary Andrea Egan

Remember Palantir has very big NHS and Defence contracts in the UK Their one aim in life is to tie a Government into long term contracts by making the software difficult to undo and engage another company. Great business model you might say, but disastrous Govt policy. They have us over a barrel

@derbsdalesgreens.bsky.social Get this to as many people as you can.

It's a great operation the team are running for this campaign. The boots on the ground are what will win it. If you're a member and you have time this week, particularly for the get out the vote work on Wednesday and Thursday, please do try to join in!

Derbyshire Dales Greens met up with Sheffield Greens on a wet day campaigning in Gorton & Denton. Still getting good feedback on the doorstep and it's still leaning our way - but it's a tight race! Please get in touch if you can help out in the final week!

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Derbyshire Dales Greens were up in Denton & Gorton today to help Hannah Spencer become our 5th MP. A fun and satisfying day, and a real privilege to be involved in such an important political moment.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Horsley (Derbyshire) Council By-Election Result: 🌍 GRN: 43.6% (+16.7) ➡️ RFM: 35.5% (+0.6) 🌳 CON: 13.9% (-9.0) 🌹 LAB: 3.8% (-6.5) ☑️ ADV: 1.9% (New) 🔶 LDM: 1.4% (-2.0) No Ind (-1.7) as previous. Green GAIN from Reform. Changes w/ 2025.

Congratulations to Lian Pizzey on his by-election victory in Horsley! Amazing work by the Amber Valley Greens team, and everyone from the wider area who helped.

The US has openly declared that it can steal other countries and run them itself and the world should unite against this aggression.

We're in a really good position to win this byelection and Lian will be an excellent councillor. Dales people be ready to answer the call for help leafleting etc.

Well this is interesting, isn't it?

The news from the US this morning is encouraging and there are lessons for the left and centre left in this country. Money doesn’t always win. The billionaires may pour it out to their chosen politicians but the people can still stick two fingers up to them.

@derbsdalesgreens.bsky.social Green councillor and local members supporting nature’s voice today.

Another record year for the Green Party 👏 859 Councillors on 170 Councils in England & Wales Now join us to keep Greens growing and to take the fight to Reform join.greenparty.org.uk

Whatever the final results today, one thing is certain: if we’re serious about restoring trust in politics, we have to start by replacing our archaic voting system with a fairer alternative

Derbyshire Dales Green Party, and the Green Group of District Councillors, give a warm welcome to Cllr Nick Whitehead. Disappointed with Labour performance, he finds his values match Green Party policies. www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/people/...

This is a crime against humanity

There's lots of good reasons to vote Green on Thursday. Tactically to stop Reform is one of them. If that's your motivation, have a look at this site.

Thank you Natalie. Strictly, Frank's patch is over the border in North East Derbyshire, but Dales people please do join the effort if you are able.

We completely endorse Mark, Chris & Ruth's campaign to ban driven grouse shooting. Please sign this petition.

I am getting increasingly frustrated by Labour bigwigs speechifying about how the world has changed and we need to be bold and then... not being bold

Our 2015 clip is 10 years old but still on the money youtube.com/shorts/E2SGV...

As mass murder and genocide escalate in #Gaza, the UK government should denounce them, cut off all support to Netanyahu's government and assist in its prosecution. Instead, Starmer silences his ministers. In doing so, he facilitates the crimes.

"You're taking some of the most disadvantaged people in our society and making them pay." @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social on the Government's plans for yet more cuts and the need to tax wealth properly instead.

The Israeli govt’s decision to block food, fuel, and water from reaching Gaza is collective punishment—an undeniable war crime. Alongside cross-party colleagues, I’ve written to the Prime Minister urging him to condemn these actions and commit to an arms embargo and sanctions.

Just landed! Please bear with us.
