Bye Bye Argos. Now let's renew Birkenhead Market Cllr Pat Cleary: “It’s no secret that the Green Councillors have always opposed the move of Birkenhead Market into the former Argos unit.

Cllr Ed Lamb and Gail Jenkinson, co-leaders of Wirral’s Green Party said they were “shocked by the findings of this daming report,” www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/2541132...

Good to see and good luck @hynotnw.bsky.social w.bsky.social www.hynot.uk/2025/08/20/h...

Why do Labour, Tories and Lib Dems have so little respect for people who complain that their council tax and pension contributions are funding genocide? My speech to council earlier this week.

On Monday night at Wirral Council, we unanimously passed my @wirralgreenparty.bsky.social motion to support more welcoming, child-friendly neighbourhoods and a proper strategy to promote outdoor play. 🌱🚲🏃‍♀️ A small step — but a meaningful one. Here’s a short thread. 🧵👇

Merseyside Pension Fund has taken the prudent step of no longer investing in Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest weapons company.

Birkenhead Green Party councillor Pat Cleary said the council’s leader up until May, Cllr Paul Stuart “totally had questions to answer,” adding: “Why has it taken a new leader to come in and shine a light on all of this? www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/2531298...

Birkenhead Town Centre works are a year late and £12m over spent Cllr Pat Cleary said, “What we are seeing is just unacceptable. I’d like some admission of that. It’s just unacceptable. I’m devastated, to be honest, as a councillor for the ward that this affects.

*Green MPs will be voting against the two-tier Welfare Bill It’s very shameful the Labour MP for Birkenhead is one of the 10 Labour MPs sponsoring the PIP Bill.

Green Cllr Molyneux challenges Council owned company to pay the real living wage to school workers

Tonight at Pensions committe I had it confirmed that the Merseyside Pension Fund has divested from Lockheed Martin. This is due to its involvement in the production of cluster munitions. A small win but it shows divestment is possible @greenparty.org.uk

I was shocked to learn that town centre works in Birkenhead are not expected to complete until this time next year. That points to a complete breakdown in the management of the scheme. The public will be rightly outraged. The response received was not ok. Judge for yourself: tinyurl.com/vtrc3ne3

We do not need new roads; we need better transport options. Think of what could be done with £9.2bn, which is to be spent on just 14 miles of road! It could transform bus services and/or cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across Britain. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Tax Wealth - don't cut welfare Labour’s cuts to welfare will make it much harder to qualify for Personal Independence Payments. PIPs are essential support to live independent lives and are paid to people who have a long-term physical or mental health condition.

Wirral Births, Deaths and Marriages should be registered in Birkenhead, say Greens

As usual @georgemonbiot.bsky.social is right. In Wirral @greenparty.org.uk is the obvious progressive alternative to Labour join.greenparty.org.uk www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Greens are now the joint second largest party on Wirral Council Cllr Jo Bird, co-leader of the Wirral’s Green councillors, said the news [of 3 Tory Cllr resignations] came as no surprise, www.birkenhead.news/conservative...

Birkenhead councillor Pat Cleary is now calling for a full, thorough and independent investigation into the matter. www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/2514005...

The Department of Degeneration?

A disgraceful ERH committee. Labour, Tory & Lib Dem cllrs hiding from the public to carve up regeneration funds to cover council delays and overspends and shovel more public money into the deeply unpopular Argos market. What they previously did to Birkenhead Market they have now done to Woodside.

“Isolate growth from public good (let alone environmental security), and you are simply planning for breakdown: individual psychological collapse in varying degrees of seriousness & collective implosion as limited resources run out…”. Essential reading👇

It's utter madness. In today's column I discuss how Labour in the UK, just like Trump in the US, is dismantling the administrative state. And how this makes its other plans, including the good things it's trying to do, impossible to implement. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

People in Birkenhead are reportedly angry after being left with “a hole in the ground” where a much-loved department store once stood. @patcleary.bsky.social said there was a feeling "of complete and utter frustration” about the former House of Fraser www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

🤦‍♂️ So Labour are making ads boasting about deportations, with Reform-style branding. Why are Labour trying to be like Farage and his mates? If only the Government put as much effort into creating a fast, fair and dignified asylum system.

Alarming.....
