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 🧵👇

Far right newspapers are trying to run a smear campaign against Misan Harriman. We can't let them. Add your name to the open letter, and stand against hate and division. goodlawproject.org/s/4ca10b

The polls are clear. Only the Green Party can beat Labour in Newham. I urge Mehmood Mirza to put the people of Newham first, focus on campaigning for his council seat, and end his campaign for Mayor. By working together we can beat Labour and achieve an enormous amount of change for our borough.

Absolutely baffling, not to mention disappointing that @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social & @yourpartyuk.bsky.social are supporting the party of property millionaires… forestgate.net/2026/04/27/w...

That hopeful, better future, that we all know is possible, is within our grasp. On Thursday 7 May, vote for the Green Party and help us build a Newham we can be proud of.

Our health is at risk. Every day, Londoners are working, living and commuting in polluted air. On 7 May, councillors can commit to changing that. Demand clean air: healthyairlondon.co.uk #HealthyAirLondon

💚💚 Huge new poll shows only GREENS have the broad support to BEAT LABOUR in #Newham 💚💚 Let's bring HOPE to Newham on 7th May.... 💚💚 Join @zackpolanski.bsky.social on the campaign trail here on SATURDAY! actionnetwork.org/events/big-d...

Tube strikes this week: Newham’s cycleways will be busier than usual, with many people cycling who don’t cycle regularly & may be less experienced. Please be patient & respectful! And if you want cycling to be safe and fun for everyone 24/7, ask the next Mayor of Newham: action.lcc.org.uk/streets

Residents in East Oxford gathered yesterday to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the installation of the Cowley LTNs. Installed during lockdown to facilitate active travel as a response to concerns over reduction of public transport use during the pandemic, the schemes started in March 2021.

Great to see our research @londoncycling.bsky.social #WomensNetwork being quoted in this article about cycling in NYC 🍎🚲 momentummag.com/the-bike-lan...

The Green Party's manifesto, published today, sets out our plan to build a Newham we can be proud of. Read it here newham.greenparty.org.uk/2026-manifes...

Another excellent blog post from @martinwarne.net on the latest election shenanigans in Newham! 😂 forestgate.net/2026/04/16/w...

We are delighted to see the Newham Green Party have published their manifesto today & included in it a promise to tackle our streets, making them both cleaner & safer for all. Thank you @newhamgreens.bsky.social @areeq.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/user_files/u...

"...These routes will be Stratford to Ilford, via Forest Gate; Leyton to Silvertown, via Plaistow; Canning Town to Barking, via East Ham; and Manor Park to North Woolwich, via East Ham." — @areeq.bsky.social Who'll pledge next to build a safe, connected cycle network in Newham? #StreetsForCycling

🚲 #StreetsForCycling Pledge 🚲 Areeq Chowdhury @areeq.bsky.social, Green Party candidate for Mayor of Newham: "With the aim of ensuring residents can cycle safely to their school, local high street, and local park, we will seek to finish four key cycle routes across Newham…"

If you have 20 minutes to spare, this video gives an excellent analysis of the ins & outs of LTNs/Liveable Neighbourhoods - in particular the Tower Hamlets schemes which have been particularly controversial youtu.be/RsuFzwUnT7I?...

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

🚨🎉 The Green Party BEATS Reform!!! 😮 Greens came fourth here last year. 💚 Proving once again that Greens can win anywhere. 🙌🏽 Labour tanking and Greens beating Reform! 👉🏽 Join.greenparty.org.uk

I'm pleased to have been officially confirmed today as the Green Party's candidate for Mayor of Newham. We are fighting to win on 7 May. Join our campaign and help us build a Newham we can be proud of.

The LTN in our area is a huge success and the school streets and other work done across the borough are good and inevitably successful after the initial outcry. It’s really depressing to see things potentially regressing like this.

Amazing work! @newhamcyclists.uk bigging up our Streets For Cycling local elections campaign in Newham: www.newhamrecorder.co.uk/news/2598406... Ask your borough's next leader to commit to a safe cycling network for everyone, across the area you live, today. Takes just 1 minute: lcc.org.uk/streets

I've had three election leaflets from Labour so far. Given where I live, they must be desperate. A shame they're advocating to destroy a lot of the good work the current (also Labour) administration has done in reducing motornormativity in a borough where fewer than 50% of the residents own cars.

More traffic. Worse air. Less money for public services. That's what Labour is proposing for Newham. Watch this before you vote on 7 May.

Super evening 🙏🏻 to @londoncycling.bsky.social ! So good to see some of the crew too ! Sign up lcc.org.uk/campaigns/wo... for safer cycling Pssst: Like our very smart new logo ? 😌

It was fantastic to celebrate & help raise funds for @londoncycling.bsky.social last night. Also great to catch up with my #WomensNetwork crew!

Can’t wait to see the new can design. Old Scaffold Daze is one of Nanna’s best!

Pavement Parking is a real problem in Newham where so much clutters pavements & it’s a challenge for those in wheelchairs, with buggies & sometimes just walking. Excellent to see it’s being tackled! We look forward to seeing the evidence in our borough!

👏 Big shout-out to the 14 marshals from LCC's Women's Network who supported IBike, Zero Emissions, Hackney Council and ‪Kidical Mass! Great to see so many of London's next generation enjoying cycling safely on our streets 🚲

Another one for the ‘pros’ list on moving to #Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It was so great to be part of the LCC Women’s Network marshal team for this amazing ride!!

Ever been riding with someone new to biking or from out of town and you feel it's your personal responsibility to protect them and keep them safe the entire ride? Would be really great if our cities felt like this.

Looking forward to this!!

Thankyou Mr Mayor; but still work to be done, you know, for the other 364 days of the year ! Like safer cycling for instance 👇🏼 lcc.org.uk/campaigns/wo...

I never explicitly pointed any of this out, as I hoped it was obvious. Years ago, I was speaking to a friend, telling her how much I enjoy cycling at night, alone, on rural lanes. She said she'd love to try it, but as a woman, she can't risk it. Because of her, I wanted my route guides to help women

This is why most of the traffic-free route guides on #WillCycle have a social safety rating - to help women decide whether, and when to go cycling any given route. www.willcycle.com/traffic-free...
