Politics North on BBC this morning was wild. Richard Moss turned to Nick Hartley and was like "Reform seem to speak for working class voters. You only win in affluent areas, yes?" And Hartley was like "I have literally been the cllr for Byker for two years"

As Cllr Nick Hartley says, we’re ready to work cross-party and cross-community to serve the people who elected us. Newcastle Greens aren’t interested in point scoring or tribalism. People across the city are struggling with rising bills, crumbling services, and are being ignored.

👀 Pretty remarkable stat! The Green Party got 1.95 million votes at the local elections (excluding mayoral!) Approx 1 million more people (!!!) than best record in 2023. Join.greenparty.org.uk

On the basis of the predicted national vote share the Greens came second on Thursday. In Newcastle they topped the poll. #bbcpoliticsnorth to @nickhartleygreen.bsky.social of @nclgreenparty.bsky.social : "You're confident that @zackpolanski.bsky.social is the right leader for your party?" lol

Our very own @nickhartleygreen.bsky.social will be back on the Politics North sofa this morning at 10am. Tune in on BBC1 to hear him talking about our fantastic results!

This week: an afternoon on the campaign trail with the Greens in Newcastle; some notes on bank holidays; and some animated art of American airspace.

My very good friend and associate Henry Scampi (and his pet, 'Jonn') came out to see @nclgreenparty.bsky.social canvass in Walker a couple of weeks ago, and wrote a really insightful reflection on it (considering he's a dog) here: jonn.substack.com/p/sunday-nig...

It's no surprise residents in Walker feel they've been neglected by politicians up to now, but the neighbourhood is a priority for the Green Party 💚 We have been working in the ward for years and have a real chance of winning here in tomorrow's election 🗳️ www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...
