Labour in Kirklees are privatising 2 dementia care homes. The private provider we were told would be a quality provider. This same provider has had a requires improvement ruling for one of the care homes they manage. I raised this today at the Kirklees Cabinet meeting youtu.be/Ob0qwQH9x70?...

Strong contingent of @greenparty.org.uk Cllrs at the @lgaindependent conference in Leeds today. Theme of the conference is resilience, personal, financial and Climate resilience.

🎉 Green GAIN from Reform! 🎉 💚 Congratulations to Lian Pizzey on being elected in Horsley division on Derbyshire County Council!

Another poll predicting a Green Win in Huddersfield that bodes well for our chances at the next General Election . Every poll and our conversations with local people confirm that only @greenparty.org.uk can beat Reform in our town. Nowcast poll 18/1/26

Govt has announced bidding for the 1st UK Town of Culture. #Huddersfield should definitely go for it with our rich music, theatre and dance scene. There's the opportunity to attract Arts Council and National Lottery funding. Let's not miss out.

Out and about in Huddersfield yesterday delivering Green News. Nice chats with local folks.

Newsome Ward @greenparty.org.uk Councillors in Huddersfield are running our free volunteer bus service for its 33rd year on New Year's Day. We love doing it, helping people get about when all other scheduled bus services in West Yorkshire aren't operating.

@kirkleescouncil.bsky.social is the only Council in West Yorkshire not to benefit from the Government's Solar for Schools funding. It was Launched in March. I asked the Labour Council Leader if she was aware of the scheme. Apparently not! youtu.be/o-wAYVj8l0E?...

At Association of Green Councillors Conference in Bradford City Hall with Kirklees Cllrs Alex Vickers and Sue Lee-Richards. Great to have so many enthused Green Councillors from across the country coming to West Yorkshire.

We're open today till 9pm. Helping your community couldn't be easier. Just drink beer and eat pies! LocalFest at The Newsome Centre, Jackroyd Lane, Newsome, #Huddersfield

Well done to Julia Roebuck of Thread Republic who gave a strong case for a creative hub in @kirkleescouncil.bsky.social's Cultural Heart at Full Council last night youtu.be/KUlKEqBNg-A?...

Busy day, out and about delivering in Newsome and Crosland Moor. Lovely response from local people as we have been going round for @greenparty.org.uk

With @greenparty.org.uk on our highest poll rating ever in the latest YouGov poll the projected result for Huddersfield is a Green Party Gain from Labour. This is encouraging but a lot of work to do between now and the next General Election to make that result a reality.

@kirkleescouncil.bsky.social failed to apply for a share of £500m Warm Homes Local scheme It would have helped local people have warmer homes I asked the Kirklees Labour Leader why she said the Council would apply for the next funding round when there wasn't one. youtu.be/zIVjejuv0eo?...

@kirkleescouncil.bsky.social shouldn't pursue any arrangements with a private care provider until the Judicial Review is completed. The Council needs to respect the legal process that is underway. The case for privatising the homes has not yet been made. huddersfieldhub.co.uk/judge-asks-k...

Nice piece in the Asian Standard about the new poll predicting a @greenparty.org.uk win in the Huddersfield Constituency at the next General Election. www.asianstandard.co.uk/new-poll-sho...

Great to see on BBC Politics North a Green Win in the Huddersfield Constituency being predicted in yet another poll at the next General Election. Lots to do in Huddersfield before that but good news in what is largely a gloomy time for people in the UK. youtu.be/O62KY9qnR30?...

Amongst the gloom of Reform gains yet another poll predicts a Green win in the Huddersfield Constituency at the next General Election. Click here to donate to our Crowdfunder for the next local elections www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/kirklees-e...

@kirkleescouncil.bsky.social Labour Leader responding to my question on why the Council didn't apply for Govt funding to insulate local peoples homes. Apparently there is a really good reason but she can't tell us what it is! youtu.be/vaDb_2MsGI4?...

I was one of the @greenparty.org.uk nominees to the House of Lords in the last Parliament I will not be seeking reselection in the Party's current process. Instead I will focus on helping ensure Huddersfield elects a Green MP at the next General Election.

It is absolutely bonkers that there are plans to fill in Queensbury Tunnl when it could be made a safe accessible cycle route. @westyorkshireca.bsky.social funding should be used to support this project. www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/2540095...

"The Greens are a political party whose time absolutely has come. In fact, it’s overdue." Having won one of the biggest electoral swings in British political history last year, I know how we can win voters over! 🗳 Vote by 30 Aug www.bigissue.com/news/politic...

Green Party members. Still time to vote for Ellie and Adrian in the Leadership Elections

Putin should be arrested & surrendered to the International Criminal Court as soon as he lands on US soil. That should have happened when Netanyahu landed on US soil. They both know they are safe with a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office. International Law sadly has no status in the USA

Fantastic to be here in Cardiff, with @elliechowns.bsky.social and so many amazing Greens, on the road to a Senedd breakthrough and helping get Matt Youde from Grangetown elected

Last month’s #heatwave killed hundreds in the UK – & we’re now entering the 2nd heatwave of the summer. The climate crisis is here & now – & we need to do much more both to build resilience to its impacts & to cut the emissions that are driving it. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Labour, Tory and Reform stands at Local Government Association Conference. Always suspicious of parties that mix politics with patriotism. Politics should be about ideals, ideas and implementing them. No flags required! #LGAConf25

Thank you to the Independent and Green Cllrs who elected me as the Local Government Associationl Independent Group Deputy Leader. Pleased to get 64% of the vote. Looking forward to working with new leader Cllr Hannah Dalton and Treasurer Cllr Johnny Denis.

What Carla and I have achieved as co-leaders shows what’s possible when we focus, organise and believe. We’re ready to take that even further - uniting strategy, passion and people power to win the future. Vote Ellie & Adrian 🌍 www.ellie-adrian-2025.org #TogetherWeWin

It's amazing to see so many people turning to the Green Party as their political home. Please join us if you want real hope and real change!

We have a leadership election coming up in the @greenparty.org.uk It’s a strong field, but for me the future of our party clearly sits best in the hands of @elliechowns.bsky.social & @adrianramsay.bsky.social, who have shown how to win & use power to secure positive change #TogetherWeWin

They said we’d never win a second seat. We proved them wrong — and then won four. 🌱 I’m proud of every Green councillor and campaigner who made that possible. Now let’s go further. Let’s win far more — together. Join us: www.ellie-adrian-2025.org #TogetherWeWin

From rural towns to inner cities, more people than ever are voting Green - not out of protest, but belief. Belief that politics can be different. That we can lead with purpose. Let’s write the next chapter - together. Join us: www.ellie-adrian-2025.org #TogetherWeWin

⛪️We're at 95% of our Crowdfunder target to fix the Newsome Centre roof. 💸12 days to find £674! 🎯If we hit our target we get £4k from @KirkleesCouncil if we don't then we don't! 🤲Any amount gets us closer. 👛Please donate if you can. www.spacehive.com/help-us-rais...

I asked David Lammy a direct question. His response did little to reassure me. I've written to him demanding clarity and have asked him to guarantee that any further potential military involvement in the Middle East will be subject to a free vote in Parliament.

The power and hope of activism must go hand in hand with electoral nous to win the change we need at the heart of our politics. Here's why I'm standing to co-lead the Green Party: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wow, what an inspiring day! The biggest ever Green Party action day. Brilliant to be building on the huge successes we've had in Suffolk and Norfolk and to be ready for the next big elections to come. Thanks so much to everyone who was part of it

Thanks to Jonathon Porritt for backing us as the leadership team this moment demands. Climate. Justice. Fair taxation. Peace. We’ll lead with purpose — and never back down. #TogetherWeWin

With nature in crisis we desperately need to enhance legal protections. Labour is planning a catastrophe – failing to deliver the affordable homes needed to address the housing crisis & weakening environmental safeguards so that greater profits can be leveraged from the devastation of nature.

Really pleased the government has listened to my and others' long-standing campaigning and will require solar panels on all new homes—a no-brainer policy. Now we must go further: ensure new homes have proper insulation, flood resilience, and protection from overheating.

We've reached £10k on our Crowdfunder to repair The Newsome Centre vestry roof. 25 days to raise £5759 to hit our target. 125 people have backed us so far. We're nearly 2/3 of the way to hit our target If you can get us closer, it would be really appreciated. www.spacehive.com/help-us-rais...

The Israeli government’s war crimes in Gaza must stop & the UK must end its complicity. Proud to support Red Line for Palestine around Parliament today. Green MPs are pressing our government to immediately enact a full arms embargo & sanctions. #StopArmingIsrael

We’ve doubled our councillors. Quadrupled our MPs. We’re winning where they said we couldn’t. But to keep fighting Labour’s cruelty and Reform’s hate, I need you with me. 🎥 Watch & share 👇 #TogetherWeWin

Britain's precious chalk streams are globally rare and ecologically vital, but only 11 of 220 are protected. With excessive abstraction and persistent river pollution, we need bespoke protections for these fragile rivers. 🔗 www.hiwwt.org.uk/information-... #SaveOurChalkStreams

👉 @elliechowns.bsky.social & @adrianramsay.bsky.social on the need for electoral reform: "Our aim is to be heading a much larger group of Green MPs in parliament, giving us the leverage & negotiating power to actually achieve such transformational change." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Thanks Cllr Paul Keene for naming what matters most in leadership: collaboration, vision and grounding. That’s how we’ve won before — and how we’ll win again. Let’s lead together 🌱 #TogetherWeWin

Last week I had the opportunity to speak with Kevin about the govt’s shameful PIP cuts at Disability Rights UK’s lobby. We should be investing in people’s potential, not cutting lifelines. The govt could choose to fund services by taxing wealth, rather than slashing benefits.

Lots of support for Dr Agnes Watson, Green candidate for Haughley, Stowupland & Wetherden, and the only one who lives in the ward. After a lifelong NHS career, Agnes cares about what affects people’s lives and wellbeing. Help Agnes: midsuffolk.greenparty.org.uk/calendar-and... #GetGreensElected

"Not just protest votes. Past Tory and Labour voters are turning Green — and her win is living proof. Ellie took a West Midlands seat from the Tories after 14 years." We’re not just rising. We’re winning. Back the winners www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/is-the... #TogetherWeWin

🧵The former head of NHS Test & Trace has told the Covid Inquiry many lives could have been saved if the government had given disadvantaged people more support to self-isolate. This political failure had devastating consequences for many thousands. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
