Cruel. Callous. Cowardly. The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are. We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box. Reject the hate. Reject them. This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Devastated this unecessary attack on nature has been forced through, by a government in thrall to fake promises by the development industry. This won't fix our housing crisis, because evidence shows developers focus on profit not need, but it will trash nature. #Trashforcash search.app/uzpbd

Is this same Labour Government expanding airports, refuses to rule out extracting more fossil fuels from the Rosebank Oil Field Intent on destroying bats, newts and doesn't care about nature? Not sure going to Brazil alone is going to do much good. Join.greenparty.org.uk

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform.... Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally. It's time for Proportional Representation. www.thenational.scot/news/2558507...

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.' We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them. Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse. Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Since I launched my leadership campaign, @greenparty.org.uk number of new members is bigger than the entire Liberal Democrat party put together! We're now at 129,000 members. And 5000 of those joined today. I'd like to be on Laura K more often! Join.greenparty.org.uk

So in all my fifty *cough* something yrs I have NEVER been inspired to join a political party. Ever. Yesterday, after seeing @zackpolanski.bsky.social ‘s video of Ben Zephaniah’s poem, I joined the Green Party.They understand Britain the melting pot & give us love & hope, not hate & division Join us

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked, why has there been a surge in Green Party membership? #bbclaurak

Just watching Ed Milliband on #BBCLauraK - both he & Victoria Derbyshire miss the point. Much 'policy' ££ on energy bills comes back to customers as discounts - but the eye watering 24% of your bill which goes as profit to privatised companies sure does not.

Great to see the progress on refurbishing the playground at Walmer Rd rec! Can't wait till it re-opens! Green-led Lewes District Council is investing in playgrounds. Vital to families' well-being; essential for kids' physical development - especially when indoor activities can be so expensive!

We can elect a Green Mayor in Sussex, but we need your help. 💚 Please give what you can on the link below. 👇 @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social @rachel4sussex.bsky.social @carolinelucas.bsky.social @sianberry.bsky.social @elliechowns.bsky.social

Going green shouldn’t break the bank. The govt must step up with grants and incentives to help people make the switch to green technology in the home. Investment in this technology will cut bills, improve health, and create jobs across the country. That’s a win-win-win!

Well done @rachelmillward.bsky.social and everyone involved at Wealden 👇

Yesterday, Wealden District Council voted in favour of my motion supporting the Rights of Rivers. Here's some of my speech: Motion in full is here: council.wealden.gov.uk/documents/s9... Love and thanks to @wealdendc.bsky.social paulpowlesland.bsky.social emilylincobrien.bsky.social

I am so glad to have the support of @emilylincobrien.bsky.social . I will bring 110% of my energy, dedication, and commitment to Deputy Leadership. #Rach4Deputy

We’re not rattled by Reform — we’re ready. Join us for a deep dive on how we counter their rise: 🟢 Understand their appeal 🟢 Reach disillusioned voters 🟢 Build a strategy that wins 🗓️ Tues 8 July 👉 www.ellie-adrian-2025.org/events #TogetherWeWin

I’ve put together this listing of top endorsements for Adrian & Ellie for the Green Party Leadership race. They really are quite something. Check out this thread 🧵. Let’s start with the mother of all endorsements: Caroline Lucas’s: x.com/carolineluca...

Thank you, Jenny. It's brilliant to have your support! We're proud to stand with so many people who’ve dedicated so much of their lives to Green politics. 👉 www.ellie-adrian-2025.org/support-us

I voted against proscribing Palestine Action. The govt cynically lumped this vote together with real terrorist groups. While I support proscribing actual extremist groups like the indefensible MMC and RIM, I refuse to conflate direct action with terrorism.

Reform UK is rising fast - but we’ve shown they can be beaten. On 8 July, join us and Greens who’ve done just that. Let’s share tactics, build confidence, and win together. 📅 Sign up here: www.ellie-adrian-2025.org/events #TogetherWeWin

Greens in the room 👇

Passionate words from @elliechowns.bsky.social on why the Green Party has never been closer to breakthrough.. and why we've never been more needed. Oh, and why she and @adrianramsay.bsky.social would make brilliant co-leaders to get us there 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thanks Emily for all your support and your amazing work in Lewes District.

We have a leadership election coming up in the @greenparty.org.uk It’s a strong field, but for me the future of our party clearly sits best in the hands of @elliechowns.bsky.social & @adrianramsay.bsky.social, who have shown how to win & use power to secure positive change #TogetherWeWin

Tonight at Pensions committe I had it confirmed that the Merseyside Pension Fund has divested from Lockheed Martin. This is due to its involvement in the production of cluster munitions. A small win but it shows divestment is possible @greenparty.org.uk

I'm deeply concerned by reports that the Home Secretary plans to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. This is a shocking overreaction to a couple of protestors using paint. 1/2

I utterly condemn the reckless attack on Iran by the United States that can only lead to further dangerous conflict in an already volatile region. There is no international legal basis for this unilateral action that poses a serious threat to international peace and security.

From rural towns to inner cities, more people than ever are voting Green - not out of protest, but belief. Belief that politics can be different. That we can lead with purpose. Let’s write the next chapter - together. Join us: www.ellie-adrian-2025.org #TogetherWeWin

I'm supporting Adrian and Ellie to be Green Party Leaders because this is a key moment for our party. We must move into the space left by Labour and Conservative vote collapse - or Nigel Farage will! 👇 #TogetherWeWin @elliechowns.bsky.social @adrianramsay.bsky.social

🧵Today I voted against the Planning & Infrastructure Bill at 3rd Reading. Greens backed the principle of reforming planning law at 2nd Reading because we know the housing crisis is dire: soaring rents, 165k+ children in temporary accommodation, and 1.3M+ households on waiting lists. 1/5

Billpayers will have to foot the bill for Sizewell C - a costly project that will take an age before it starts producing any energy. Supporting renewables and home insulation would have a bigger and quicker impact. We need clean, affordable power - not another nuclear money pit.

Almost no mention of social care in Reeves’ speech—so disappointing. Fair pay for care workers and a boost to the NHS are welcome, but that alone will not repair the care sector. We need a fully funded social care system if we want to free up hospital beds and ensure dignity for all. #SpendingReview

Chancellor talks about the awful legacy of Conservative austerity. But under this govt I am still seeing the same real terms cuts to school budgets & local health services & cruel cuts to support for disabled people. It is a political choice not to tax the wealthy fairly. #SpendingReview

Banning bonuses for failing water company bosses is important, obvs - but it’s hardly the best we can do? 👀 If we’re serious about ending pollution for profit, water needs to be brought back into public ownership *now*. The fact that Labour Govt won’t even allow it to be considered speaks volumes

This week: a choice to Labour govt on nearly bankrupt uber-polluters Thames Water. Cave into ransom demands for no prosecution for their failures, in exchange for continued privatisation. ...Or take into public hands as @greenparty.org.uk always argued www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I'm supporting @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social for the Green Party leadership #TogetherWeWin 👇

@elliechowns.bsky.social & @adrianramsay.bsky.social have shown they can win elections against the odds. They reach new voters who have never voted for us before In Parliament they show leadership on Gaza, climate change & welfare cuts Our best option to lead @TheGreenParty #TogetherWeWin

#TogetherWeWin @elliechowns.bsky.social @adrianramsay.bsky.social

This is the first really good assessment of @greenparty.org.uk leadership race. Those of us who are worried 😟 about our planet 🌍 know we have to gain the voters attention. 🤔We can easily put voters off by the terms 🤔shorthand?... we use to describe what we are about.

I’m backing Ellie & Adrian for @greenparty.org.uk led by MPs with a national platform, a track record of overturning electoral odds & the ability to speak to all - a team committed to bringing the party together, facing down the far right & championing urgent nature & climate action

Brilliant to stand alongside Chris Packham, Sir David King, and over 150 scientists at today’s Science to Politics event, gathering outside Parliament to bring their expertise to govt and demand action on the climate emergency. It’s clear: if we’re to protect our planet, we must listen to science.

Overnight, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator warned that genocide is possible in Gaza. I asked an urgent question Does this Govt stand by its duty to prevent under the Genocide Convention, and will it act to uphold humanitarian law? Or just say “we did all we could.” youtube.com/shorts/ClNmA...

🎥 Our campaign is live. We’re Ellie and Adrian - Green MPs, proud campaigners, and proven winners. We’re standing to lead the Green Party into a new era - with hope, courage, and a plan for real power. #TogetherWeWin #GreenLeadership #HopeInAction

We’re standing to lead @greenparty.org.uk into its most ambitious chapter yet. As co-leaders, @elliechowns.bsky.social and I will grow Green power, hold government to account, and lead with ambition, unity and deep-rooted values. More ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/politics/202... #TogetherWeWin

Concerned about ' licence to kill' proposals which experts say will trash nature. Use our simple one-click letter to contact govt ministers & ask them not to sacrifice nature to development www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Very much enjoyed hosting our national and international visitors and sharing learning over nature restoration 👇
