“40 per cent said they’d consider voting for him as mayor: Green leader, Zack Polanski. Reassuringly, 39 per cent said they wouldn’t consider it.” Reassuringly? No false balance here. The establishment hates @zackpolanski.bsky.social, so let’s get Greens elected! www.cityam.com/has-sadiq-kh...

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

The Green Party, in the pocket of… the general public. Please chip in and help us win.

Petition: Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy Nearly at 70k, sign and share! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Reading @peteapps.bsky.social‘s Show Me The Bodies. So much of this resonates with what me and my neighbours have been through and are going through. Like Grenfell, I can’t help but feel that they would not have attempted this on a less diverse and more middle class estate.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the transgender lives lost to violence. The Green Party stands shoulder to shoulder with transgender people in the face of increasing transphobic rhetoric in our society and politics.

Who wouldn't want to take a moment with Jonathan Bailey?

You’d hardly believe it’s November

Steve Reed should find out what the @greenparty.org.uk's policies are before calling them 'wacky'. He was flummoxed by this question about what private landlords bring to society other than the redistribution of wealth in the wrong direction. #abolishLandlords youtube.com/shorts/vbAEn...

Spent a rewarding hour last night helping collect signatures for a petition to get TfL to take over the Greenwich and Woolwich lifts, which are sadly neglected by the local council. All the people we met were so happy that someone was trying to do something about it. www.change.org/p/lifts-now-...

When a journalist was punished for protecting a source, the ECHR stepped in. It ruled that a free press must be able to expose wrongdoing without fear. The ECHR defends accountability, and losing it would weaken the public’s right to know the truth.

Ouch. Might have been better to unscrew the cycle bollards before commencing work at Mile End Junction. Reversing heavy machinery over them risks damaging the bollards and their foundations. If they are left damaged, I hope TfL/LBTH sends Thames Water the bill for the repairs.

Let's just take a moment to reflect on the self-sacrifice and hope this person embodies - not the evil, hateful monsters thirsting for violence.

If true (and unfortunately you do have to caveat the Times under its current editorship), then this looks very much like a fraud against the people. apple.news/AsRgaQ_nBRl6... Still think the monarchy only has the people’s interests at heart? We need a modern constitutional settlement.

It’s more than two years since Eastend Homes’ disastrous attempt to build flats on our flats resulted in our homes being flooded. Our homes are still being ruined. We still haven’t an explanation for how this meets building regulations. It’s like nothing was learned from #RonanPoint or #Grenfell.

Khan is one of my ward’s councillors, and she has been conspicuously absent from my neighbours’ and my dispute with Eastend Homes. Mile End ward has long been neglected. The ward needs our councillors to be committed to fighting for our community.

Labour should enact its party policy and implement electoral reform. The majority of the UK want progressive politics, but we could end up with an extremist right-wing government elected on a minority under FPTP.

AWS went down and then Azure went down. I'm going to host things with Rick Astley, because he will never let me down.

Microsoft Azure breaks and all I wanted to do was buy a pizza. 😭

It's not a target seat, but I've put myself forward to stand as a councillor for @thgreenparty.bsky.social in next year's local elections. towerhamlets.greenparty.org.uk/election%202...

I should probably write something more long-form, but my experience cycling to Amsterdam was so much less stressful than I thought it’d be. Only sketchy bit was working out how to get between the station and the ferry with a bike in Harwich.

Obligatory photo of a traditional Dutch windmill.

And now in another city, Leiden, grabbing a spot of lunch and more caffeine before the push to Amsterdam.

So after a nice easy cycle from the ferry to Rotterdam, it’s time for some coffee and cake.

Good morning from (nearly) the Netherlands. #Ferry

I think Greater Anglia trains have the easiest-to-use bike storage. Four bikes can be stored here, and there’s no struggling to get them to hang vertically in an awkward cupboard like on Hitachi trains.

Being a member of @greenparty.org.uk, I had thought the race for Labour Deputy Leader was other people’s problem. However, unfortunately, I discovered my @utaw.tech / @cwunews.bsky.social membership entitles me to a vote, and now I have some responsibility. Any tips for a least worst choice?

The Greenwich and Woolwich foot tunnels really need sorting out. They are maintained as an afterthought by the local authority rather than a vital transport link. @london.gov.uk needs to take these over and make them fit for purpose. c.org/VPSyzLXfsN

Another Sunday afternoon in PPE, salvaging possessions from my flat. More than two years later, there’s still water coming in, and we still don’t know how any of this meets building regulations or how the structure has been affected by being wet for so long.

Tax wealth.

Wow. First time this has happened in a while.

📈 ICYMI The Green Party now has 75,000 members and counting! 🤝 Together we can turn this moment of fear into a moment of hope. 💚 Now is the time. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

@dastardlybro.bsky.social We use Nextcloud for @chtra.org.uk. It works pretty well on a small virtual server. @mythic-beasts.com provide a hosted version.

Today's episode nails it. The comms on Digital ID couldn't be worse. Those illegally employing workers won't care if we have them, and trying to sell them as a way to 'crack down' on a supposedly detested minority won't help soothe a public that's already suspicious of the Government's motivations.

First #PSL of the season

A lovely evening with my besties at the Royal Albert Hall, listening to @ericidle.bsky.social talk and sing about his life and the people in it. He’s in amazing form and the show certainly had light and dark — poignant and funny in equal measures.

Monday might be a bit sore.

Oh, hello, Sunday morning. Yes, I will be drinking all the caffeine.

Good morning my friend (coffee)

Alexandra’s story shows how the systems to protect us aren’t working. @chtra.org.uk members raised our plight with the Housing Ombudsman and @rshengland.bsky.social with no action. As Ben says, you get more consumer protector you buy a kettle.

Just picked up my bike from Giant St Paul's. They’ve done a smashing job of restoring it.

People are exhausted. Our high streets, public spaces, whole communities left unloved. Blaming migrants won’t fix this. Tackling inequality will. Tax the super-rich. Fund public services. #DrawTheLine www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"You're not just going to tweak it... we want to create a fairer society!" This Labour party doesn't give a shit about any of us. They're too afraid of pissing off their donors to do anything meaningful. Greens are arguing for real solutions - are you with us? @sianberry.bsky.social
