(1/🧵) Katy Davidson, a local yachtswoman and Green Party member, was among countless activists attacked and detained by the Israeli government. Their crime? Trying to deliver aid to Palestinians. She's among the best of us, not just of us in the Green Party, but in all of Cornwall.

We’re proud to congratulate Tim Etherington-Judge as the newest Green Councillor on Hayle Town Council. All the best to Tim, we know you’ll do Hayle proud 💚

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people. We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government. This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

For ‘defensive purposes’, Starmer said…

Every weekend we’ll be out in force in Porth & Tretherras supporting local candidate Abi Hubbucks. Come and join us on one (or more!) of our action days on the Saturdays and Sundays in the run up to the election. We’ll be meeting at 10:00AM in Newquay Orchards Heart & Soul Cafe. See you there! 💚

“His people aren’t us… his people are the wealthy elite.” @mothinali.bsky.social cuts through Farage’s ‘man of the people’ act.

“Starmer must end this involvement in Iran and stop the King's visit to the USA.” @zackpolanski.bsky.social calls on Starmer to show leadership - stop UK involvement in illegal wars, refuse concessions to Trump, and oppose normalising fascism through inappropriate state visits.

Brilliant message from Hannah Spencer about our by-election in Newquay 💚 Abi Hubbucks has already put so much time and energy into Newquay. Now it's our turn to get out and support her, and get Abi into County Hall!

Abigail Hubbucks has already been working for her community as a Newquay town councillor. Now she’s our candidate for Porth & Tretherras in the upcoming Cornwall Council by-election, and would be a welcome addition to advocate for Newquay alongside Drew Creek in County Hall. Vote Abi April 23rd.

We've just hit 215,000 members. More than 2,000 people a day have joined us since our historic win in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Come and be a part of the movement which is making hope normal again. Join us 👇

Gorton and Denton showed that people are desperate for a different kind of politics. But Labour have doubled down: with smears, misrepresentation, and BNP-inspired migration policy. How low will Labour go? 📉

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Today marks the national day of Cornwall, named after St Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall, of tin miners, and our most famous refugee. Whether you’ve fled here atop a mill stone or born and bred, we hope you’ve all enjoyed the week’s celebrations. Gool Peran Lowen - Happy St Piran’s Day! 💛

www.newstatesman.com/world/middle... With the thuggish and illegal conduct of the United States and Trump's followers here, it's no wonder why Iran is reluctant to rejoin negotiations the US just suspended by means of bomb. Britain cannot be dragged into another Iraq War.

Meur ras! From Cornwall, to Caerphilly, to Gorton and Denton, people are fed up. Fed up of a politics of hate and a failing status quo. Establishment parties don't know what's coming, but those of us organising for a better world sure do. Here's to a new political era of hope 💚

Keir Starmer has shown a catastrophic failure of judgement. He says he trusted the assurances of Peter Mandelson about his relationship with paedophile and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. A level of gullibility and incompetence that makes him unfit to hold power.

(1/2) With so many Tories now jumping ship to Reform UK - even former cabinet members - you never quite know who could be next... Multiple defections in January alone from the Conservative Party to Reform UK just show what many already thought: Same old Tories, new coat of paint.

Labour's running scared, fearing the next few months are existential for them. 👇Be part of the movement and give them a fright join.greenparty.org.uk

👏 A brilliant local working class candidate, chosen by ordinary members in Manchester. For Gorton & Denton, it's Greens Vs Reform, Hope Vs hate. Here's to hope 💚

Same Tory MPs, same austerity-led ideology, same failure.

"The UK government has got to make clear to the Syrian government that the current negotiated ceasefire must be restored and that attacks on Kurdish-majority towns are unacceptable." Green Party Peer @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social responds to the ongoing attack on North East Syria.

“We are putting Palantir on notice. This is a military surveillance company tied to authoritarian surveillance and the devastation in Gaza — and it has no role in our NHS.” Green Party leader Zack Polanski on why Palantir must be kept out of the National Health Service.

NO to big data surveillance NO to supporters of genocide and racist paramilitaries YES to patient consent and confidentiality Palantir is an American military surveillance corporation that makes its money by spying on ordinary people and scrapping their data for the highest bidder.

The government's Water White Paper doesn't tackle the root cause of the water crisis- privatisation. As bills soar, shareholders pocket outrageous payouts for crumbling infrastructure, outages and sewage pollution. Greens want water back where it belongs- in public hands.

Big Day Out In Falmouth! 💚 After our monthly meeting on Saturday, Cornwall Greens set out to leaflet the whole of Falmouth Arwenack ward, updating residents on what local Greens had been up to Over 40 Greens got stuck in and helped deliver 2500 flyers in just under 2 hours! join.greenparty.org.uk

Cornwall Council has outlined its plans and priorities for the next four years. Make sure your voice is heard on issues effecting you by responding to its consultation letstalk.cornwall.gov.uk/

If we work hard, we’re on course to be the main party to take on Reform and a failing Labour government at the next general election. That work starts now. ⌛ Whether you’ve helped us before, or if you’re still new, join us in leafleting all of Falmouth Arwenack in just a single afternoon! 💚

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months." Shameful. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Farage wants to bring Trump’s death squads to the streets of Britain. Together, we will stop him. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Green councillor Karen La Borde said: "One of the things Cornwall Council should be doing is leading its community and, as we all know, female representation in politics is much lower than male representation." www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c98j1l8gn6xo

As millions struggle to afford daily life, Government departments are being told to redirect £1.8bn from essential services to fund state surveillance and control via Digital ID. "A toolkit for authoritarians that must be stopped" @sianberry.bsky.social on Labour's plans for Digital ID

We don't have huge corporate donors to ring. We don't have big data spyware to lean on. What we have is far better: we have ordinary people just like you organising in their communities for a better tomorrow. Are you with us?

Minneapolis is a long way from Cornwall, but the murder of a 37-year-old mother in cold-blooded ICE officers is all too relevant even in Britain. There are cheerleaders of the Trump regime in Britain, that have sought to import Trump's extreme policies that now see the rise of an American Gestapo.

It's taken Labour nearly two years to scrap the two child benefit cap keeping 500,000 children in poverty. Reform and Tory MPs plan to vote against it. Ending the scandal of child poverty harming 1/3rd of children demands more action- including free school meals for all.

The US may be about to launch an operation from its bases on UK soil against an oil tanker. I ask what and when the UK government will be informed about the operation. Will we have any say on its nature? No answer #Sovereignty?

"The only flags Farage and Starmer have been waving this weekend are white." Written for the Metro 👇🏼 metro.co.uk/2026/01/05/z...

Trump is already alluding to how he might strike against Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, and Greenland. When you give a bully an inch... Starmer refusing to condemn Trump's imperialism doesn't just endanger Venezuelans, it signals Labour welcomes further attacks on global security and international law.

The PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law. After years of arming a genocide and worshipping the “special relationship”, Trump now believes he can act with impunity.

He lives on melting ice, runs a zero-emissions sleigh, and believes in fairness! 🎄 So yes — it is no surprise that a recent YouGov poll suggests Father Christmas would vote Green. 💚

Nadelik Lowen from everyone at the Cornwall Green Party 🎄💚

On Saturday, we had our final members meeting of the year, and what a year it’s been! Members heard from Green Party field organiser Jason, and from our newly elected executive. Members also discussed Cornwall devolution, divestment, and urging Cornwall council to halt the cruel use of bailiffs.

Hunger strikers have entered their 50th day without eating. There are currently at least 33 people in the UK illegally detained by the British state for their action opposing genocide. Many of them are being held without trial, many will be needlessly forced to wait a further year before trial.

Greens stand against authoritarianism. It's not just about this government, but about what future governments might do with such dangerous powers. The right to protest, right to trial by jury, right to privacy are all crucial freedoms that must be protected for our benefit.

Ending economic injustice isn't a distraction from environmentalism, but a core part of a real solution to the climate crisis. The same systems that allow for historic levels of wealth inequality are the same systems poisoning our rivers and skies.

Kernow showed up in force for river access last weekend. Twenty people gathered near Bodmin to trespass a stretch of the River Camel, while another seven walked the full 20 miles of the Camel Trail to highlight the inadequacy of the government’s proposed nine river walks.
