No billionaire donors. No vested interests. No shady dealings from Tufton Street. Just individuals coming together for the common good. Inspiring stuff.

Maybe they should consider changing the name of the party.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hope is here. Help us beat Reform in May. Donate today ⤵️

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

This is a great example of working together, so whilst ⁦‪@BristolCouncil‬⁩ acknowledges the road closure in Bedminster will cause inconvenience, I am grateful for the work to reduce it from 21 to 2 days thanks to joint works news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

More than all the others out together

Congratulations to our newest Green councillor, Cllr Mike Dunn, on winning the Long Ashton ward by-election in North Somerset with a huge Green vote!

This would be a more convincing argument if Keir Starmer had not himself made a whole series of promises which he then declared completely undeliverable as soon as he became leader www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It is not true “England cannot effectively subsidise travel costs”. Retired people get free travel. By freezing the fuel duty escalator we are subsidising car drivers, which compounds inequality. See more here: bettertransport.org.uk/media/groups... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great news; Metrobus has been a success and it’s being extended into South Bristol to serve more people www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bristol remains one of the few places in the country to continue to provide a fully funded Council Tax Reduction Scheme (CTRS) after councillors approved the approach for 2026/27: news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

I am really pleased to support this campaign and to be a joint signatory with @carla_denyer .

How do we fix this mess?

We all need to be having these conversations.

We would love to see the water supply reconnected to the Victoria Park Water Maze, if you agree please sign this petition. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/vi...

More good transport news, #Bristol 🎉 “We’re introducing earlier morning services across the city to support shift workers, and adding hourly night buses on Fridays, Saturdays and bank holiday Sundays to help people get home safely and support Bristol’s night time economy.” – @edplowden.bsky.social

We're really pleased to see Overton Road open for business, with a major project to reclaim the space for people and local businesses completed on schedule! @edplowden.bsky.social says the works have “completely transformed” the street: news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

vimeo.com/1100672255/8... Amazing footage of our very own steel elliptical arched bow string bridge with diagonal bracing and lattice infilled parapets. Also known as the Banana Bridge! Sadly someone has already tagged it, such a shame. We will ret and keep in top of it.

“I think Bristol’s doing some sensational work.” Thanks @chrisboardman.bsky.social

I love the simple truth of these black and white drawings starkly illustrating greenwashing.

Such an important feature on TotalEnergies by ITV Cycling and Matt Rendell on the Tour de France rest day programme this evening. In support: a repost of this drawing.

I am pleased to see that the resurfaced and more clearly marked bike lane in Bristol City Centre seems to be working better. We are monitoring it closely to see what further improvements may be needed. @Chris_Boardman @BristolCouncil @BristolCycling

Shocking that Lillian Greenwood has agreed to this. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Reform’s membership ‘falls by almost 10,000 in a month’ www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...

Every MP who voted to plunge disabled people into poverty should be ashamed. This should be a millstone that follows them for the rest of their careers. Green MP @carladenyer.bsky.social was the ONLY Bristol MP to vote against the cuts. Vote Labour get Tory. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There's always a cartoon by @andy-singer.bsky.social that nails it.

Reform: the party that literally couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery. It's too easy a joke, but irresistible. www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/politic...

www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea... Great work by ⁦‪@BristolCouncil‬⁩, a councillor and a local resident

These advertising hoardings were erected without any planning permission in Totterdown, degrading the local environment. Really glad to see the company being forced to remove them by @bristolcouncil.bsky.social planning enforcement team. @adblockbristol.bsky.social

40% of car trips in Bristol are under 2km and cost the city more than £300m a year says Cllr @edplowden.bsky.social #walkingsummit

Our Chair, James Lee opens the #WalkingSummit and welcomes our first guests: 🎤 Our CEO, @charitycat.bsky.social 🎤 Minister for Local Transport, @simonlightwood.org.uk 🎤 Cllr @edplowden.bsky.social, Bristol City Council 🎤 @carladenyer.bsky.social MP for Bristol Central (via video)

Our #PedestrianPound report finds that pedestrians = pounds. This morning’s #WalkingSummit panel are discussing how we shape and create walkable places. Kyrby Brown, WECIL Sophie Edmondson Christopher Martin @edplowden.bsky.social Jodi Savickas Seb Slater www.livingstreets.org.uk/pedestrianpo...

Fantastic - a great achievement. Bristol one of top ten European cities for child-friendly streets, and the highest ranking of any UK city according to new rankings by Clean Cities @playingout.bsky.social @mumsforlungs.bsky.social @edplowden.bsky.social news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

@edplowden.bsky.social: “We are heading in the right direction and ... work to prioritise safer streets for our children to walk, wheel and cycle to school is showing results. “The ability of children to find freedom by moving around our city safely is so important to their development.”

When the Tories stopped local partnerships from reinvesting the revenue from cameras, years of progress tackling road danger was reversed. Will Labour devolution address this? I am not holding my breath.

Before Labour start trying to squeeze progressive voters they need to take a good hard look at their policies and think about just how progressive their leadership is.

Time to make Labour more afraid of losing votes to the Green Party than Reform.

Notice how uncomfortable Reform get when you ask them who their donors our. Follow. The. Money. For a party with only two vested interests (1) People & (2) the planet: join.greenparty.org.uk

🚨Polling day!🗳️ If you live in an area with elections today, NOW is your chance to get more hard-working Greens elected. From Northumberland to the West Country to Sussex and Kent, the @greenparty.org.uk offers a bold and positive vision 💚 Two party politics is over. The question is: what next?

Lovely to get out with local volunteers in Victoria Park today sowing wild seeds. This is one of several patches and we hope it will encourage moths and beetles, then in turn to help bats, mice and owls. @vpagbristol @TRESAcic

Difficult decisions? Difficult for who?

NEW: YouGov shows the @greenparty.org.uk's Mary Page ahead in the West of England mayoral race. Let's do it! 🚀
