“You can’t blame austerity on one hand, but then say it’s the immigrants. The immigrants haven’t caused austerity.” Zack Polanski takes on Reform’s Zia Yusuf over spreading of misinformation on #BBCQT

News of the ‘first phase’ of a ceasefire in Gaza is a moment of real hope. This must be the first step of many, including release of all hostages, full humanitarian access to Gaza, and self-determination for Palestinians.

"Christians, Muslims, Jews, migrants and people from a global majority background face the threat of violence or harassment as they simply go about their lives each day. This is unacceptable for the UK in the 21st century." @carladenyer.bsky.social on the increase in reported hate crimes.

Govt promised to help Palestinians get to UK to study- but I'm in touch with 7 young Palestinians with scholarships at @bristoluni.bsky.social who are trapped in Gaza because the Home Office isn't doing what was promised Shocking neglect putting lives at risk www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

The era of oil & gas is over - reserves are running dry and companies are pulling out leaving workers and communities high and dry Government urgently needs to make a plan to harness those skills for the green energy transition My piece for Prospect Magazine on my Energy Jobs Bill:

Badenoch's speech completely detached from reality with no mention of protecting our communities from the climate crisis - particularly in light of her party’s plans to scrap the Climate Change Act and throw away Britain's progress on preventing climate breakdown

Grim that Kemi Badenoch hits the airwaves and defends Jenrick's words objecting to 'not seeing another white face' during his Birmingham visit. His hard-right dogwhistle comments are divisive and wrong and make him unfit to be Shadow Justice Secretary www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Our Conference was bursting with energy, enthusiasm, and determination. The Green Party is growing faster than ever – powered by hope, action, and thousands of passionate members. 💚

Two years on from the horrific attacks of 7 October, my thoughts are with all of those who lost loved ones or are waiting to be reunited with those held hostage.

It's a miracle nobody was hurt. Sending solidarity to the Muslim community in Sussex and across the UK, as well as the Jewish community who are still grieving from the appalling attack in Manchester. No one should EVER feel unsafe in their place of worship www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

I really enjoyed handing over the leadership baton and introducing @zackpolanski.bsky.social for his brilliant debut conference leader’s speech. And just before I went on, this lovely video came up on the conference screens. It's so sweet - thank you everyone who had a role in making it 🫶

My two stand-out highlights of Green Party conference were @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social's Deputy Leaders' speeches. Grounded, emotional, and inspiring. Well worth watching in full: www.youtube.com/live/Nw1waIc... #GPC25

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again... 'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'

Today I've joined parliamentarians from across the political spectrum in calling on Kemi Badenoch to rethink her dangerous position on the climate and net zero - a position which puts Britain's economic strength, national security, and environmental leadership at risk.

Just trying on some of the new @greenparty.org.uk merch available at conference 👕😅💅 #CarlaSaysWealthTax #GPC25

I am alarmed and upset by this emerging news of attacks at a synagogue on Yom Kippur. The rise in religious hate crimes in this country is totally unacceptable - there is no excuse for antisemitism and no excuse for violence. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

A large group of MPs drew the Foreign Secretary's attention to attacks on the #GlobalSumudFlotilla 6 days ago...

Scary to watch the Global Sumud Flotilla being intercepted by Israeli forces - we know how brutally the Israeli military has treated those on previous flotillas. The world is watching - the Foreign Secretary @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social must urgently step up to ensure safety of UK citizens on board

Today along with @sianberry.bsky.social I've published a report on our constituents' appalling experiences of the leasehold system. From extortionate fees to poor treatment at the hands of management companies, residents are being held to ransom in their own homes. Govt must act fast.

Good. This is an important victory. It's a stain on our democracy for Michelle Mone to remain in the House of Lords. But it's even more important that the Tory ministers who set up the corrupt PPE VIP lane in the first place are properly and fully held to account for the scandal

So, what's the plan Nige? 🤔

Today the BBC reported on asylum seekers relying on home office-funded taxis to get around. But as I heard when I visited Bristol City of Sanctuary, this isn't the reality for many - it's being forced to walk for hours to get to appointments, sometimes with kids, or miss out on essentials.

Really thrilled about new overnight buses in Bristol! This is a massive step forward for making our city safer, particularly for women, and making it easier for everyone to get around our city. Thanks to all the Green Councillors for making it happen! www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

LANDMARK MOMENT - the Greens now have more members across Great Britain than the Lib Dems! Let's keep it going! 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏽 join.greenparty.org.uk Latest stats available: 85,800 @greenparty.org.uk (England & Wales) + @scottishgreens.org combined membership 83,174 @libdems.org.uk (a single party across GB)

Really proud of the work Green councillors in Bristol have done to find safe, secure homes for vulnerable children and stop them being placed in unregistered accommodation. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

The countdown is on! Join thousands of new members at @greenparty.org.uk Conference in Bournemouth, our most exciting yet! Only a few tickets left. Grab yours (and your sparkly jumpsuit) today! 💚

Brilliant Bristol news! I know this will make travel easier for many of my constituents, boost Bristol's economy and help bring down emissions. Looking forward to getting on one of these sometime soon! www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

"There's people who will cook food in their own homes and take it out and feed people who are less fortunate... That's patriotism. That's love for your community. And that's standing up for British values." Deputy Leader @mothinali.bsky.social on BBC Politics North this weekend.

Big US tech company Nvidia saying they're gonna build data centres in the UK and we have to burn more gas to power them? Uh, no. British people shouldn't be paying higher bills and suffering accelerated climate change for your bottom line.

New data out today proves that rents are out of control and far too many renters are being ripped off by greedy landlords - especially in Bristol. We need rent controls now! Source: www.ons.gov.uk/economy/infl...

Heat deaths. Let that sink in. This should be a wake-up call. It's the job of govts across the world to keep their citizens safe. Instead, from continuing oil and gas drilling to dragging their feet on making our homes and workplaces safe from extreme weather, they're failing.

Yesterday the UN declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Today Keir Starmer rolls out the red carpet for Trump - Israel's biggest ally and a cheerleader for its atrocities. Shameful.

Former Green Party leader urges government to let MPs debate changes to EHRC guidance https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/16/former-green-party-leader-urges-government-to-let-mps-debate-changes-to-ehrc-guidance/?utm_content=1758044404&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky

UK living standards have collapsed while govt after govt have sat on their hands. Now the vacuum they left is being filled by fascist agitators like Tommy Robinson and super-rich big-business-backed politicians like Farage. There is an alternative–and we can all play our part in fighting for it.

Proud to represent a city with Europe's largest grassroots campaign to boycott Israeli apartheid, and proud to have signed up to the campaign. www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

Really thoughtful piece from @heathermackbristol.bsky.social recognising the anger Bristolians feel as the cost of living crisis worsens and life gets harder. But as she makes clear, these are the fault of government and not traumatised families fleeing danger www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

Pupils at Redland Green School ask great questions! They told me about the issues they care about - from the conflict in Sudan to the cost of housing to what uniform they wear. And they went away knowing more about how to make their voices heard.

Economy flatlined in July - Starmer and Reeves have bet everything on 'going for growth' and it's just not working. Time for a rethink - instead of tinkering around the edges and ripping up protections for people and nature, we need to tax extreme wealth and invest in our future

After more than a year of disastrous political direction it looks like Labour MPs are finally questioning McSweeney's judgement. Remember - this is the man whose strategy is for Starmer to become a Farage tribute act with no solutions

Mandelson was architect of 2nd State visit for Trump. That visit should not happen. It is sickening to confer special UK honour on Mandelson's fellow Epstein acolyte who is a dangerous autocrat, banning books, militarising police & destroying democratic freedoms.

Trans people are anxiously waiting for the EHRC’s final guidance to be published, following its extreme and unworkable interim guidance. I know many are worried it will further the exclusion of trans people. I've written to govt to say that we MPs must be given time to debate it.

This is good news! 🌊 BUT (you knew there'd be a but) bottom trawling, an awful destructive fishing practice that scours every crumb of life from the seabed, will continue in English marine protected areas ☠️ 🪸 So the UK still lags behind other countries like Greece and Sweden...

Just got confirmation in Members Forum that #Bristol #libraries budget is protected for next year!!! 🥳 Labour scaremongered residents about this, even though they slashed the budget by 25% when in power. Us Greens will continue to push to get libraries open for longer where residents need it most!

Israeli President Herzog signed an artillery shell before it was fired into Gaza He’s been named in the ICJ order which found Palestinians at “imminent risk” of genocide Today Starmer is rolling out the red carpet for him - instead he should be arrested for war crimes
