If anyone still thinks that the Greens shouldn’t stand a candidate in Makerfield, here’s why we absolutely must. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If this isn't "designed to stir up hatred" against Jews, what is? Why are the Met not arresting them?

Tommy Robinson is marching through London again today. He presents himself as a patriot, a journalist, and a victim of the establishment. But in reality he is a serial criminal with a rap sheet two decades long. Here’s the record he’d rather you didn’t read. 🧵

🗳️ Projected National Share, 2026 local elections: ➡️Ref: 26% (-4) 🟢Grn: 18% (+7) 🔵Con: 17% (+2) 🔴Lab: 17% (-3) 🟠Lib: 16% (-1) At 17%, this is Labour's lowest-ever vote PNS share in a local election, and the highest-ever for the Greens. x.com/LeftieStats/...

We are concerned by the nature of the media attention focused on the election of Dr Q Manivannan to the Scottish Parliament at the recent election.

Why are Lib Dem councillors propping up a Reform administration in Leicestershire? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Our election campaigns were rooted in fighting to end the housing affordability crisis, and voters have spoken. Green Mayors @zoegarbett.bsky.social & @liamshrivastava.bsky.social alongside Carla Denyer MP have written to the government to demand a Rent Controls Bill in the King's Speech tomorrow

Welcome to Benali Hamdache, who will be the new Assembly Member for the Green Party.

Look at that growth 😍 💚 From 164 councillors in 2016 to 1319 in 2026 - a 704% increase! We're not stopping here. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

Today is Cost of Rent Day. The point in the year when England’s renters have basically earned only for their landlord. In 2026, that’s until 11 May, over 4 months of wages or benefits gone on rent. High rents are driving people into poverty. Watch to find out more:

Still slightly surreal, but incredibly honoured to join the Green group at City Hall after the wonderful news that @zoegarbett.bsky.social had been elected as Mayor of Hackney I’ll be serving on Housing, Planning & Police committee joining @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @carolinerussell.bsky.social

Greens are now Islington's second biggest party with 19 councillors! 💚💚

Feeling so proud to have handed over the reins in Islington to a brilliant new team of NINETEEN Green councillors. A journey starting with election in 2014 by just 8 votes and 8 years sole opposition to Labour, then last 4 years with 2 Green colleagues. So excited to see what they all achieve.

This is just the beginning. Join our movement of hope: Join.greenparty.org.uk

BREAKING: First Ever Green Mayor Win 🎉 Zoë Garbett has been elected Mayor of Hackney – huge congratulations!

I feel like at some point someone could have written something about how Facebook is now just a swarm of Reform UK bots

Good to see greens backing Liveable Neighbourhoods. We hosted a climate hustings with Islington Environmental coalition the night after and 3 out of 4 local parties showed strong support for LNs @rowchampion.bsky.social @katepoth.bsky.social @islingtontrib.bsky.social @greenbenali.bsky.social

Even by Labour's sickeningly disgusting attitude towards vulnerable individuals, this is a new low by Mahmood. Under no possible criteria could Afghanistan be classed as safe. Labour has already prevented Afghans from seeking asylum. This compounds the inhumanity. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This is why we are proud to be able to say: if you want to vote AGAINST Reform, then #VoteGreen. Hannah Spencer in the Manchester by-election proved that a vote for us is not a wasted vote. If you want to keep these people out of Birmingham, #VoteGreenInBrum. leftfootforward.org/2026/04/disg...

It was crystal clear at the @islingtontrib.bsky.social hustings this week It's time to turn a page on the parties that have failed us for the last century - and it's time to vote Green www.islingtontribune.co.uk/article/unde...

Oh dear god metro.co.uk/2026/04/23/s...

When Labour inevitably gets humiliated at the local elections they will have nobody to blame but themselves. They have massively alienated a lot of core voters by chasing Reform with ever more hostile policies against migrants and other marginalised groups.

The only candidate at the @islingtontrib.bsky.social hustings last night to fully support Low Traffic Neighbourhoods was @greenbenali.bsky.social with a story about seeing a young child cycling with their parent proudly saying “look daddy I’m riding on the road”.

Let’s be honest. They all knew Mandleson was a sleaze bag. That’s why they thought he was perfect to be a Trump whisperer This pantomime of pretending they didn’t know is an insult to our collective intelligence. They should all go

Amid the distress caused by the settlement changes, the Government has quietly announced yet another visa fee hike. Leave to remain is rising to £1,407. An initial visa now costs over £2,000 — plus £1,000+ yearly paid upfront for the health surcharge. 🧵
