May 7 help us bring hope back to Lewisham. Come join us on the doors for the final push to end Labour's dominance of our borough. This is about bringing the change we want to see across the country, a new style of politics that puts you first, not billionaires. Featuring our amazing candidates!

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT — WE HAVE A MANIFESTO!! Our manifesto is based on real life issues that the residents of Lewisham encounter on a day to day basis. It has the potential to deliver positive change we so desperately need, but that only happens if you show up and vote for us on May 7th.

In London, the Green Party have made huge advances but are still slightly behind Labour. Keep doorknocking everyone! www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Labour are refusing to bring in rent controls which are common across Europe. End the affordability crisis. Introduce rent controls. Vote Green on 7th May 💚

Update: took less than a day to be boiled away... www.cityam.com/treasury-rul...

Amazing evening talking to voters in #Sydenham with our brilliant #Lewisham mayor candidate @liamshrivastava.bsky.social & lots of volunteers. Loads of #VoteGreen posters going up everywhere

When Labour next tell you there is no money left and that's why they can't help people to heat their homes, show them this.

"We need excellent quality, sustainable housing for ordinary people to afford, and that’s completely different from the situation we have now." Green Party co-deputy leader Rachel Millward on the need for sustainable, affordable homes at the Green Party local election launch.

Labour can't fix the housing crisis. They need to get out of the way and let the @greenparty.org.uk take over to deliver genuinely affordable homes for our communities. Choose Hope and Vote Green on 7 May 💚

We've had great support from Cllr @liamshrivastava.bsky.social of @lewishamgreens.bsky.social for our #streetsforkids manifesto asks! We’d love to see our asks included in their own manifesto soon. #localelections #solvetheschoolrun #londonparents #ecofamily

Nice to see our local Greens cleaning up and growing a solution to fly tipping. Choose Hope Vote Green Liam Shrivastava for Lewisham Major @liamshrivastava.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk join.greenparty.org.uk

Community Gardening 🤝 Tackling Fly-tippping Your Crofton Park @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social team were out in the community this weekend, beautifying a neglected bit of green space in need of TLC. Do you know of any spaces in Lewisham that need some Green treatment? Let us know in the comments!

🚨 NEW | 2026 Local Elections - Greens predicted to win most seats in London: 🟢 Grn: 548 (+530) 🔵 Con: 481 (+77) 🔴 Lab: 415 (-741) 🟠 Lib: 252 (+72) ➡️ Ref: 132 (+132) Greens would be the largest party on four borough councils 👀 Source: Bombe published in @theguardian.com

I have serious questions for Lewisham Labour and Labour's Mayoral candidate Amanda De Ryk over their continued promotion of senior UCKG employee Cllr Kim Powell. Labour are not fit to run Lewisham. It's time to clean up our Borough

Israel's genocide in Gaza has killed over 72,000 Palestinians. Now Palestinians in Gaza again face enforced hunger after Israel closed all crossings into Gaza, with humanitarian groups warning supplies will last only a few days. End the siege. Let food in.

Wow. The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%. They are FIVE points ahead of Labour. The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote. And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

Shocking story about the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God today and how it financially pressured a young woman to give £15,000 - “my savings, my current account...a help-to-buy ISA, I closed that to give them that money" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

How can you settle, work, or make friends when you might be sent back to the country you've fled after just 30 months? And how will a country already struggling with a huge asylum backlog process millions of new case reviews every year? This heartless anti-refugee policy makes no sense.

'Moral bankruptcy' is an apt description of what Steve Reed is doing to social care and local government. Will Lewisham Labour leaders follow Hartlepool and say the same? Hint: no. No they won't. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

So now, thanks to Labour, Lewisham is only a Borough of Sanctuary to people for 30 months. Disgusting. And yet @lewishamlabour.bsky.social put Borough of Sanctuary on their leaflets to win votes. Totally morally bankrupt Vote @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social on 7 May

This stinks at every level. What refugees desperately need after their claims are accepted is the stability to rebuild their lives. This change will cause immeasurable stress and anxiety to some of the most vulnerable people in the country

🤯 WE'VE NOW PASSED OVER £5,000 🚀 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elect-lewi...

💥 WE JUST PASSED £4,000 ON OUR MAYORAL CROWDFUNDER! 💥 But @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social needs a further £6,000 in nine days if we're going to beat Labour and bring hope back to Lewisham 💚 Help us get there and donate here 👇https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elect-lewishams-first-green-mayor

New polling shows something is in the air. It's hope and a plan. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Final weekend. One last push. This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate. It's hope vs hate. It's Greens vs Reform. Hope can win.

Fantastic Action Day with @londonygs.bsky.social today in Crofton Park! 💚 Picked up lots of Green support and casework from residents who have been let down by this complacent Labour administration Lewisham needs change - vote Green on 7 May @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social

This clip of @greenpartyhan.bsky.social shows exactly why I’ve got myself a ticket to Manchester on Friday so I can help knock doors or do whatever else needs doing to get her elected. 💚

🚨 According to YouGov, the Green Party are polling at 17% and rising. 📈 Reform UK take a -3 point hit. 📉 You love to see it.

Gorne Wood has become a symbol of a wider struggle over who #London green spaces are for, and whether protection on paper is enough to safeguard them in practice @cprelondon.bsky.social @xrlewisham.bsky.social ldd.news/london/battl...

Good to see Lewisham Council finally putting some pressure on the landowner to sell Gorne Wood to the community at a fair price This comes after I wrote to officers and @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social met with @fourthreserve.bsky.social at the site 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rent controls. Now. dev.morningstaronline.co.uk/article/camp...
