Brighton & Hove Green Party statement on Reform UK Brighton and Hove's antisemitic Facebook post:

Something is happening in Brighton & Hove! 3000 members last week. 3500 members today. And more than 100 people at our monthly meeting last night! There's never been a better time to get involved. join.greenparty.org.uk

100,000 MEMBERS KLAXON 🎉 Thousands are joining us every single day. What about you? join.greenparty.org.uk

We should all ask the question: Where is Keir Starmer?

Local Government Reorganisation was not in Labour's 2024 manifesto, will cost us a fortune when we can ill afford it, will not improve efficiency and will undermine local democracy. Its an expensive solution to a problem way down on our priority list and should be scrapped

Massive victory for a brilliant candidate who will be a fantastic Councillor. Welcome Marina and well done!

"Marina is committed. She has energy. She is all abouIt equality and fairness, and stands openly against the genocide in Gaza." Former independent parliamentary candidate Tanushka Marah on why she's endorsing Marina Lademacher in the Queen's Park by-election on September 18th.

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history. And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

"Marina is passionate about representing people in Queen’s Park, and working hard all year round." @carolinelucas.bsky.social on why Marina Lademacher is the best candidate for Queen's Park.

Two flats. Same city. One rule for them. Another for the rest of us. It's time to kick Labour out.

Labour knew they'd need a full council stamp on this ages ago. Now a special council meeting with three weeks notice, no heads up to other parties, no consideration of obvious clashes. Shambolic and rude www.brightonandhovenews.org/2025/09/03/s...

Leading a political party means leading the political conversation - being available and being heard on the platforms people actually use. Join me every Wednesday on my new podcast: Bold Politics. The only podcast led by a current party leader in the UK. Link in bio.

Latest 💩 sewage 💩 alert. Southern Water hiked bills more than any other water supplier this year. Is the money being used to fix Brighton’s Victorian water system? Clearly not! It is diabolical that these private companies continue to profit while our coast is polluted.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "The problem is not the small boats, the problem is the private jets.. lets make sure the people in this country that have massive wealth are redistributing a tiny bit.. 1% on assets of £10m or more or 2% on assets of £1bn or more. That would raise about £25bn"

By juggling demand for speaking to national audiences with nurturing individuals & local parties, @zackpolanski.bsky.social can play to his many strengths & bring to life that vital yet often intangible political ingredient about which he spoke so meaningfully - hope. Me for @indyvoices.bsky.social

Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on your stunning victory. Your campaign took on the rich and powerful, stood up for the dignity of all marginalised communities, and gave people hope! Real change is coming. I look forward to working with you to bring about a fairer, kinder world.

BOLD LEADERSHIP NOW. The Green Party has today elected Zack Polanski as our new leader, with Rachel Millward and Mothin Ali as our new Deputies. The system is broken. If you want a radical alternative in Brighton & Hove, there's only one answer: vote Green. join.greenparty.org.uk

Zack as leader, Rachel and Mothin as deputies. Brilliant result for the Greens

Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives? Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course

Brighton's last tram (number 53) is being restored and is nearly ready to come back to the city. Built in 1936 it was all electric and carried 100 people up Elm Grove. It looks amazing. All aboard! brightontram53.org.uk

"The party members realise the gravity of this contest. Has the Green moment finally arrived? Won't only determine the direction the party itself takes, but the future configuration of the British left." 🚀 Let's go. 💚 #BackZack www.newstatesman.com/politics/gre...

Loads of Green posters up. So many disaffected Labour voters. Go Marina!

Marina Lademacher has been working non-stop as our Green candidate for Queen's Park - and we were delighted to be joined last night by @carolinelucas.bsky.social in speaking to residents who want change. 🥀 People are sick of Labour. ✅ Vote Green on September 18th to show enough is enough.

Feels like the Green Left are taking a much needed collective breath. What’s going on? And what the fk happens next? I sat down with the brilliant Mark Steel to find out. Catch up here 👇🏼 pod.link/1573424189

You can't claim to be serious about the climate crisis while expanding airports. Heathrow’s third runway won’t help working people: it’s a gift to the ultra rich frequent flyers. @greenparty.org.uk will always call this out. My piece in the Standard 👇🏼 www.standard.co.uk/comment/heat...

Massive peaceful march today in B&H. Shame on our Labour government for its deny, distract, delay, tactics on Gaza. Shame on our MP. Stop denying genocide and apartheid and take some action, say your constituents #gaza #freepalestine

US soldier quit GHF and tells his story including of mortar fire into crowds waiting for food. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Double standards at B&HCC. Palestine flag on a Hove beach hut is enforced away, yet the 'memorial' on Palmeira Sq remains a so-called tolerated trespass. #gaza #genocide @bhgreens.bsky.social

⏳Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.

Greens battle with Labour on welfare cuts www.theargus.co.uk/news/2527014...

1. Starmer was warned and warned that his benefits cuts were not just cruel and unfair, but a political disaster. He dismissed the warnings, even this week, as no more than "noises off". Now, as the disaster materialises, he's desperately backtracking. Here's an idea: how about listening? 🧵

Political pressure means a reprieve for some who were set to be cruelly harmed, but this is way too small a concession to accept. Greens demand the full withdrawal of cuts to PIP and any changes only through working with Disabled people to get it right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I hope everyone on this website thinks very carefully about this graph and then considers whether or not they need to reorder their priorities at all.

On Monday, we asked Brighton & Hove Labour councillors what they thought of Starmer’s brutal disability cuts. They defended it, and blocked members of the public from speaking about it in the meeting. Keir Starmer says these attacks are ‘moral’ - we have a better idea. #WealthTaxNow

Yesterday, Labour showed the contempt they have for disabled people in our city. Their attempts to silence those who will be most affected by their cuts are shameful. Marginalised voices must be listened to. Councillor Chloë Goldsmith ensured they were heard:

Dozens more Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza while trying to access food. Hundreds have been killed or injured in similar incidents. We must keep our eyes on the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and pressure our government to stop arming Israel now.

Yesterday we asked the Labour Council administration to take a stand on the worst cuts to disability benefits since Osborne. They refused. Today 100 Labour MPs take a clear stance against these cuts. B&H Labour Cllrs are on the wrong side of history on this

Labour are making a political choice to push 400,000 people into poverty - or worse. These cuts will kill - and now our Labour council are refusing to let the very people affected speak at today's emergency council meeting. Join us outside Hove Town Hall at 3pm to say no.

Expanding illegal settlements in the West Bank is another indication the Israeli government is not serious about peace. This provocative move must be strongly condemned and opposed by the UK govt. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

While everyone is enthralled by the Trump / Musk bust up, this is happening in the background. Not even a hint of slowing down. We are the 'frog slowly being boiled alive'. Maybe media and politicians need to focus on what's important. And I've not even mentioned the genocide being ignored in Gaza.

Thanks to Disability Action Brighton for the demo today, exposing Labour's proposed return to Victorian approaches to welfare. The so-called Pathways to Work Green Paper proposals will, according to their own figures, see 250,000 individuals driven into relative poverty. #takingthepip

Labour must come clean over the potential political interference by their councillors - and submit to a further investigation into what's going on. Greens will keep demanding better for you,and our city.

Rachel Reeves getting it wrong on investment and the environment... www.ciwem.org/news/water-a...

Laughable from Labour. Reeling off a list of things you're doing for the climate, while backing airports to trash it. We need clean energy, yet expanding airports will completely kill the Clean Power Action Plan’s carbon saving benefits. When will the Government admit this??

Seedy Sunday today at the Open Market! UK's original and best. Kick off your growing season here and grab seeds, plants and camaraderie. 10am to 4pm. See you here! @bhfood.org.uk

Over 1,000 joined together to block the strand today outside the RCJ including @jonathanpienews.bsky.social & Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall . We will not be swayed by the extreme sentences handed down to those peaceful protestors sounding the alarm on climate collapse – justice for the #LordWalney16
