Matt Williams gets elected in Walker. 3 Greens in Byker, 3 Greens in Elswick. BBC Look North this morning. "The Greens won in some quite affluent parts of Newcastle." Can you take your heads out of your stereotypes please lads.

Another announcement: I have been elected to represent the people of #sydenham ward on #lewisham council as a #greenparty councillor. My thanks to the people who’ve put their trust in my & my fellow councillors. We’ll work our hardest to make a difference. #gpew #ukpolitics

Top tip for Starmer; Sort out ONE thing that is f***ing annoying everyone: Water. Stop the water companies paying their shareholders ever more and charging the rest of us ever more while filling our rivers and sea with shit. And do it quickly.

A grand total of 40 Green councillors elected in Lewisham to work with Mayor @liamshrivastava.bsky.social 💪

Ready for more Green results? AND WHAT A RESULT IN HARINGEY 🎉 2022: 0 seats 2026: 28 seats Greens become the largest party on Haringey council 💚

London mayor Sadiq Khan tonight: "Without a change in course and an acceleration in delivery, the threat to Labour is existential. We risk a repeat in London, Wales and across England of what happened in Scotland... "It’s time for us to be bold and show this to be true - before it’s too late."

Salamander News will be reporting live as the results come in .. Lewisham's only independent news outlet www.salamandernews.org/lewisham-ele...

Just double-whow: ANOTHER a huge piece of history. Hackney really decided the direction it wanted to head, with a Green mayor and this council: 38 Green Councillors (+36), 8 Labour (-36), 5 Tory (-)

A once-in-a-lifetime feeling being in the results hall at the Lewisham count and hearing that @liamshrivastava.bsky.social has been elected the FIRST EVER Green Party Mayor of Lewisham!! After a nail-biting count it turned out not to be that close at all, a decisive victory. So happy!

Absolutely phenomenal result! Liam has run a powerhouse, community driven campaign. And he's going to be a brilliant Mayor for Lewisham. Lets go! 💚🥳

🚨 BREAKING: The Greens GAIN Waltham Forest Council MAJORITY from Labour. 60/60 seats declared, the Greens have won 32. It's all over. 💚💪

Great work @greenwich.greenparty.org.uk - going from no seats to 13, and clearly in great place as opposition to hold Labour to account

Hello new councillors. Congratulations and welcome to your office. Now look at this carefully. Study it. Copy it. It works. It has been proven to work. Just do it.

Nice work within @adrianramsay.bsky.social's Waveney Valley constituency. Congratulations!

Lucy Powell MP, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, tonight: “These elections are tough and took place in a difficult context." "After over a decade of Britain being held back, working people up and down the country rightly want to see the whole of our UK firing on all cylinders in their interests."

In the throbbing heart of democracy

❗️Polls close in just a few hours ❗️ Head to the polls NOW and vote for real hope, real change 🗳️ Don’t lose your chance to have your say - Polling stations will close at 10pm!

I want your minor party election predictions How many seats will the Workers Party of Britain, TUSC, & Your Party backed candidates win? Will Aspire hold on? Which Independent Groups & Residents Associations will run councils? Will Advance UK and Restore Britain (via 'independents') win seats?

This is handy. People can now enter their postcode on the Electoral Commission website to find out if an election is taking place in their area, who's standing for election, where their polling station is, and who to contact if they need help

We have a toxic combination of low wages and high bills. We need to make life affordable for everyone. Make hope normal again & Vote Green. 💚 (& remember to take photo ID to the polling station!)

I’m standing for election & voting tomorrow in the belief that a better world is not just possible but imperative & the future can be bright for all of us, not just a few.

Hey greens in London there’s free Lime rides tomorrow to get around your ward!

TONIGHT! 📅 How do we ensure safety, justice and a sustainable environment for all? 🤔 @profkepickett.bsky.social comes to Sheffield to discuss The Good Society with @simonduffy.bsky.social 6:30pm at Foundry, Sheffield Students' Union. Still some tickets left ⤵️ www.tickettailor.com/events/festi...

Excellent interview by @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #BBC #Radio4 #TodayProgramme this morning - starts at 2hr 16min Despite the concerted attacks on him personally ramping up over the last few days, Zack keeps his cool & is across all the questions Robinson throws him www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Statements that have now come to light from a handful of @TheGreenParty candidates are totally unacceptable & require immediate action. There’s no place for anti-semitism or any hate speech in the party. This is a society-wide problem & needs to be rooted out wherever it’s found

Such a gently-phrased statement, from someone no longer in a position representing the party, attracts exactly the kind of attacks and denialism we need to tackle.

Another good canvassing evening in #Sydenham for local election on Thursday. Did a very leafy street with many semi-detached houses or huge terraces which tend towards Labour, surprisingly. Reception for #Greens been much warmer on the social housing estates I’ve found. Demographic change.

The people who forced Gary Lineker out of a job for accidentally posting an antisemitic image are silent about the intentionally antisemitic cartoon of Zack Polanski published in The Times They're busy smearing the Jewish Anti-Zionist Green Party leader as antisemitic They think you're stupid

Speaking to my lovely but Daily Mail-reading neighbours it seems like a lot of people might have never heard anything Zack has said, but have heard the rightwing media's attacks on him, and absorbed them. There's been a concerted hatchet job over the last few days in run up to May 7th.

A little #GoodNews on #biodiversity, because we all need some www.bbc.com/news/article...

Food security is one of the biggest threats we face as a nation. When Parliament returns, we need Govt ministers in the chamber to set out clearly how they will protect our food security in the immediate term and how we will build a more sustainable food system for the future.

Three German political parties - the Social Democrats, the Greens and Die Linke - have chosen to leave Elon Musk's X platform together in a joint move.

#Spain receives more sunshine than any country in Europe — and it is building the solar infrastructure that geography always promised. Extremadura, Andalusia, and Castilla-La Mancha became the center where Spain added new solar capacity, racing toward its target of 74% renewable electricity by 2030

When I talk to voters on the doorstep, I’m often told ‘Labour says the Greens want to block affordable housing’, which is effectively lying to voters. Greens in Lambeth have voted against developments that don’t contain enough social housing or threaten council estates.

Honestly feels weird that I’ve spent all day having dozens of doorstep conversations with residents about what we as #greenparty councillors can do to improve things like community spirit, local bus services & waste collection, and then I go online & the dominant discourse is antisemitism. Bit […]

Extremist is the death and destruction that Benjamin Netanyahu government brings on a daily basis. Extremist is them introducing the death penalty for Palestinians. Extremist is this apartheid, genocidal Israeli Government that our Government shamefully supports.

Super afternoon out canvassing residents on #HillcrestEstate in #Sydenham Lots of good conversations & hopeful ideas about how to improve #Lewisham #VoteGreen on 7th May

Another disgrace from the Starmer, Labour Together crew. Getting rid of councillors who don’t have the right face, for mates and relatives of the gang . Cronyism. Send Labour packing on 7th May. Vote Green

I am quite certain @zackpolanski.bsky.social is a better guardian of my Jewish values than Keir Starmer who said it was appropriate to cut off water from a people subject to genocide.

🚨 Will you help us keep the ADF out of our communities? The American anti-abortion group is coming for parkrun over trans people's participation. This is another example of inclusive spaces needing protection from lawfare. We have to fight back. Write to your MP now and share: protectparkrun.uk

An honour to share the stage with speakers from @unison.org.uk @unitetheunion.bsky.social @bma.org.uk @utaw.tech & more at the launch of the Green Workers' Charter ✊🏻 Tonight we renewed our commitment to restore collective power - so we can win a greener and fairer future for everyone 💚

Farage will be tolerated in some kind of government role; Polanski will not be . Farage’s supporters have legit grievances that must be respected; Polanski’s supporters don’t. Farage is a real person who matters, and Polanski is not. And that’s that.

🤔 What, exactly, is there to "weigh"? This just stinks... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
