Cllr Crawford admiring the new EV chargers on Springfield Ave in our ward. Very few houses have driveways in our ward so this creates another incentive for people to switch to EVs, discouraging people from getting rid of front gardens.

Happy Halloween 🎃 hope you woke lefties have a good day continuing to terrify all the Reform voters.

Over the moon to welcome Cllr Al-Maghrabi to the Bristol Green Group, such a lovely person as well as being a hard working cllr. He’ll be an asset to the party! 💚

Excellent fact finding trip to Nottingham to see how they have improved their transport and public realm. inspiring to learn about how their workplace parking levy has funded an extra tram route, hoe they’ve laid on more buses and improved active travel. Also got to go on Vicky McClure’s tram! 🚈

Something extraordinary is happening. +6000 new members in ONE SINGLE day. @greenparty.org.uk just hit 130,000 members and rising!!! Join.greenparty.org.uk

So, added to @scottishgreens.org membership total, this means that the Green parties of Britain now have more members that the Conservative Party (using their declared membership numbers). An incredible political shift is happening. Be part of it

A statement about the Peacehaven mosque attack from @cllremmaedwards.bsky.social on behalf of Bristol's Green Party Councillors:

City Centre @cllremmaedwards.bsky.social

What are you waiting for??? Join.greenparty.org.uk 💚🌈🌍

The Royals aren’t very good at ‘reading the room’ are they?

This is so good. Of course there are some people who vote reform who are entrenched in right wing ideology however there are also a lot who have just been sold a lie, just like Brexit. These conversations are so important.

Steve Smith, a man who was so offended he only got one bean in his can of Heinz that it made international news, being oblivious to why Councillors might be offended by transphobic hate speech directly affecting their colleagues, and wanting to take a stand. www.foxnews.com/food-drink/m...

Nowt plastic about our Zack.

An ugly show of transphobia in public forum this evening, spoiling what was otherwise a pretty constructive and collegiate full council. Trans and non-binary members of the council, and any trans non-binary members of the public who attend should not be subjected to such transphobic rhetoric.

How can anyone be mad at this? is a little cut through road line with parked cars really better? I spoke to the coffee shop last week and they said their trade had doubled.

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

On the coach now heading back to Bristol from a day trip to Birmingham. Intrigued to find the city centre there largely paved over for full pedestrian use, and that they had tram services running there also. Result: no traffic congestion there AT ALL! ✨ Just wonderful! 😊

So The week before far right protests are planned in cities across the UK. The Labour Party decide to ramp up their anti/immigration rhetoric. No mention of protecting vulnerable Asylum seekers under threat from protesters. Just stoking division and cosplaying Reform. Slow handclap.

We’re number 8! 😍

I love this so much. He’s also spot on about the new Green buses, they really are divine.

Delighted that Overton Road pedestrianisation scheme is almost finished! As a local resident, I remember filling in the consultation. So nice to see a side road, barely used except for parking and as a cut through, now been turned into a lovely bit of public realm. Trees will be planted soon!

Well done Lionessess. Wasn’t expecting that level of stress on a Sunday night, but it was worth it in the end 💚🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Love a quick fire round!

The Green Party is a growing grassroots movement. I'm running to be the next leader with our collective bold, positive vision to tackle power & wealth. I want to work with anyone who wants to take on Reform & this Government. The moment is right now. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/whats-...

The right to protest is a key principle here in Bristol. Cllr Emma Edwards on the Proscription of Palestine Action and the urgent need for action in Gaza.

well then

I had prepared myself and a lot of awful things this year, but I didn’t have brushing multiple ladybirds out of my cleavage on my 2025 bingo card.

Congratulations to @is0belrussell.bsky.social for passing this motion opposing Bristol Airport expansion. 84% of people oppose expansion (although Bristol Labour abstained...); @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social stand against this pointless climate-wrecking. www.bristol247.com/climate/news...

Pleased to mark another year of Refugee Tales, but very sorry that I have to - we need to say #RefugeesWelcome with safe, orderly routes @refugeetales.bsky.social @refugeecouncil.bsky.social

Right now, Bristol City Council is discussing a Green motion entitled Stop Bristol Airport Expansion. Councillors @is0belrussell.bsky.social, @serenaralston.bsky.social & @cllremmaedwards.bsky.social are speaking passionately for a green, sustainable transport system...and no airport expansion.

Thank you for standing up for democracy @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social! The government imposing governance changes on local councils without consultation or even notice, let alone consent, is despicable. Thank you for speaking up. 💚

Thanks to @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social, Bristol City Council is committed to #VisionZero: zero deaths or serious injuries on Bristol's roads by 2030. Low traffic neighbourhoods have an important role to play in helping us achieve that. bristolgreenparty.org.uk/vision-zero-...

Love this!! Fully behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social for our new party leader 💚

For those wittering on about how Glastonbury festival shouldn’t ‘be political’, and it was better when it was ‘ just a music festival’, my university dissertation circa 2001 is available in no good bookshops.

Interrupting your doom scrolling about all the awfulness to let you know that it’s my Dog’s 5th birthday today. 🥳🥳🥳

Today I doorknocked Jackie, who - unprompted - said this: "Labour not taking part in the committee system is just so petty+undemocratic, and it does not get them or us anywhere. There are bigger problems to deal with both locally+nationally!" People can see, and hate, democracy getting trampled on

Deputy PM Angela Rayner says the vote on the Labour government's UC & PIP cuts for disabled people next Tuesday IS going ahead. So the big question is - will all the Labour rebels who signed the amendment against these cuts hold their nerve? Greens will. #PMQs #TakingThePIP

Labour are trying to ban the committee system approach to local government. This is seriously bad, politically motivated, authoritarian, anti-devolution, bullshit policy making and I hope the proposal gets the damning reaction it deserves. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-stat...

I’ve been off cllr work for a while due to a family situation. I came back this week to utter shenanigans from Labour, who want to scrap a democratically decided governance model that the people of Bristol voted for with zero consultation. Outrageous and authoritarian!

Congratulations to the Green led environment & sustainability committee for getting Bristol’s waste collections back to where they should be after Labour mismanagement. While Bristol Labour scaremongered about hypotheticals, Greens got on with sorting things out www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

I do like the fact that I said “other modes” and everybody knows what I was talking about, including the journalist 😆 🚉

Just wanna point out that LibDem/Green Oxfordshire was the absolute centre of the 15 min city conspiracy and today the LDs have added 15 seats and the Greens have more than doubled so it’s hardly electoral suicide. People like safe streets! @carlosmorenofr.bsky.social @filipwatteeuw.bsky.social
