Good news!! Well done @scottishgreens.org for doing the heavy lifting here 💪🌱🌿

Britain’s voting system is broken. 150 MPs are backing an amendment to finally review it. We have until 14 July to convince even more to add their names. I've just emailed mine using this tool. Can you contact yours too? actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

Coming soon to a street near you. I'll be out and about in the coming weeks, leafleting in support of @geraldinecoggins.bsky.social, @greenparty.org.uk candidate for the 30 July Greater Manchester Mayoral by-election. Say hello if you see me.

I do think a lot of Starmer-friendly journalists underestimated how bad this made him look tbh. I think they expected anger from disgruntled Corbynites, but didn't factor in that even people who weren't at all sympathetic to Labour or the left were basically getting introduced to this guy as a liar

The Green Party has a plan to make bills affordable: 1. Move policy costs off bills before winter saving £150 2. Break the link between electricity & gas 3. Scale up renewables 4. Insulate homes 5. End profiteering

I guess we're all guilty of failing to understand social democracy correctly from a Marxist viewpoint. It was nice, wasn't it. The quiet.

Pour one out for the Starmer cultists on Threads at this difficult time.

What goes around comes around.

📸 Together for a greener Greater Manchester! 💚

Meet Geraldine Coggins. Greater Manchester councillor, Green group leader, straight talking anti-austerity campaigner - and your Green candidate for Greater Manchester Mayor.

The architect of Labour’s cruel plans on settled status and persecution of free speech and protest stays in place. More of the same. Only the Greens can take on failing Labour in Greater Manchester. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Heading into town tomorrow as we begin our Greater Manchester Mayoral campaign and announce our candidate! I'm attending a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social event: 100 Days of Hannah - Milestone Party. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/100-d...

Makerfield was never going to be one of the Greens' strongest areas and we got squeezed significantly by 'tactical voting'. Time to put all our efforts into the Greater Manchester Mayoralty. A challenging contest but not an impossible one and would be our biggest victory to date by a long way. 💚

When you're supervising your young children and pop upstairs to use the toilet, the most terrifying thing they can shout up at you is "Daddy, can I eat this?".

We know that hope is stronger than hate. This Refugee Week we stand together in solidarity against those who seek to divide us.

While we fret over whether 16-17 year olds should have access to social media, rage-bait slop pushed by unregulated addictive algorithms has led to your previously benign adult acquaintances, friends and relatives sharing great replacement theory memes on Facebook and Twitter without question.

The tyranny of young people with left wing views has gone on far too long. It's time to fight back by hearing from the most marginalised groups in our society, columnists who went to private school and then Oxbridge and the oligarchs who own their publications.

This is actually an amazing visual explanation for why established parties and governments are so willing to support social media bans for under 16s

Part of me regrets not submitting a Greatest Wrestler Ever ballot but I didn't have the time and energy I'd want to put into it if I were to do it properly. I'd need to put in quite a bit of research before being happy with all my choices.

India is still on fire it's been 10 days and some places have hit 45C every day They have no AC and nearly 2 billion people have to live AND work in this Within a decade or two it is going to be unlivable and they are all going to migrate THEN you will be complaining

Superman is a fantasy story about what if a powerful man was good

It is a great shame that they didn't follow up on Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island with more classic literary adaptations. I feel strongly about this to the point where I planned out every role to be played by a muppet in an adaptation of Midsummer Night's Dream.

Andy Burnham was a Blairite in government; has ruled out proportional representation; backs Rachel Reeves' fiscal rules; will not commit to renationalisation; backs Shabana Mahmood's immigration reforms; would appoint Josh Simons as his head of policy... He is not the change our country needs.

This confirms that anyone asking the Green Party to 'stand aside for the good of the nation' can now shut up. It is not the Green Party's responsibility to bail Labour out of a crisis of their own making.

We were down when Rodgers left and MON returned our pride. We were finished after the Nancy disaster and MON revived us from nowhere. This is the hardest fought and greatest comeback league win in our history and confirms MON as our greatest manager since Stein. Hearts are for breaking. Hail Hail!🍀

A tough question as there are so many great options. I'd say my favourite is probably Throne of Blood.

Our current first-past-the-post voting system is hugely undemocratic, allowing a political party to secure a massive majority of seats on a minority vote. We need to introduce proportional representation now to ensure every voice is heard and every vote counts.

We won't be able to celebrate Keir Starmer's departure because he'll be followed by Wes Streeting. We won't be able to celebrate Wes Streeting's departure because he'll be followed by Nigel Farage.

The SNP are about to reach two decades of uninterrupted government in Scotland. The issue is not that the UK is ungovernable. The issue is that the people governing have been shit.

The reason why Otto gets livid anytime anyone brings up the 'quiet' tweet is that it serves as a constant reminder that a bunch of people he wrote off as 'sanctimonious little trolls' had a more perceptive political analysis than he and many of his 'serious adults in the room' cohort.

he lost the racists to Reform, the progressives to the Greens and the middles who just want us all to get along to the Lib Dems. When you stand for nothing you get no one innit

Lovely night out at the Salford and Bury Green Party post-election celebration with our first three elected councillors of what will be many over the coming years. Good wins and good progress to build on in other areas. We're just getting started! 💚
