Glasgow going Green! 💚 Congratulations @hollybruce.bsky.social 🗳️

Still cowl week for #showMeYourKnits 🧶- this is the start of my first Nennir cowl available at @knitty.com as a free pattern! This was my first venture into closed loop cables - some time this year I intend to embark on Morvach to try on a bigger scale. #knitsky

Thank you! I never would have made it without you!

We shouldn't have to cut our working hours or cut back on essentials to make ends meet. By expanding childcare we can save families £10,000 per child. We're pledging: 🟢570 hours of funded childcare for every child from 6 months to 2 years 🟢1140 hours for all 2 year olds

All across the UK, Greens are working to bring hope back to politics. With just 3 weeks until the election, the leader of the Green Party of Northern Ireland Mal O’Hara joined us to campaign on our shared vision for a fairer, greener future. 💚

2,400 artists in NYC got $1,000 per month in basic income for 18 months beginning in 2022. Same as in Ireland, the results were overwhelmingly positive. Artists spent more time on their art and became more satisfied with the quality and impact of their work. DO UBI source.washu.edu/2026/04/guar...

What I took out of tonight's C4 leaders' debate was 2 things: we need more immigration in Scotland, and tax is an investment in public services not an oncost. Will vote accordingly.

Today we launched our 2026 manifesto! 🟢 Want free bus travel for everyone? 🟢 Want accessible and affordable childcare? 🟢 Want to tackle the climate emergency? 🟢 Want to tax the rich? We've got you covered. Read the manifesto at: www.greens.scot/LetsDemandBetter

I have two dozen interviews with Green Party activists on my YouTube channel. One of them went on to become and MP! Will more? Check it out. youtube.com/@edpoole1942...

@pjtheeconomist.bsky.social times column this week is an incredibly pithy (even by his standards!) summary of the issues and changes in working age welfare - including why spending on it isn't out of control.

Wow! Nice one Ross @ross-greer.bsky.social this is really strong stuff!

Reform’s “flag ship” council and this was their heartland! Brilliant result and a brilliant campaign! Well done all involved

"Hope. Hope with a plan. And that plan starts with the homes people need." @zackpolanski.bsky.social launches the Green Party's campaign for the local elections. Reject the toxicity of Reform and end the Labour rot. Vote Green in May.

Having done more than a few management and leadership courses in my time, Zack's workrate often reminds me of this:

A solid few hours of back to back interviews today with a consistent message. Wealth and power has been taken away from our communities. We're taking it back - time to end Rip Off Britain. Join.greenparty.org.uk

🟢 Janet Russell is seeking re-election as councillor for Airedale Ward 🎬 In her campaign video, she talks about the importance of listening to residents and staying in touch all year round, as well as her work to protect precious green belt land from development. Watch ⤵️

Today we launch our campaign for the May elections. Locally and nationally, Labour is cosying up to developers and failing to provide the secure, affordable homes we need. We deserve better. On 7th May vote for council homes, rent controls and an end to leaseholds. Vote Green.

I have been interviewing Green Party candidates for May's local elections on my Youtube channel. Check them out: bsky.app/profile/edpo...

Scotland would not be the nation it is today without the people who have chosen to make their lives here. Like the Tories before them, Labour is forcing people into impossible situations, denying access to housing, work and even basic services. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/scot...

Laura has it spot on. With more Green votes on May 7th, her voice and others like her will join the Green group in the Scottish Parliament to speak up for the diverse and inclusive society Scotland can be.

I started this account mainly to follow Green Party voices, and I make a point of following every local party I can find. Every day at the moment there’s a steady stream of local party accounts announcing their local candidates. It’s really encouraging.

Thankfully Trump has climbed down for now. We've seen once again exactly who Keir Starmer & this Labour Government are. Silent - other than the Wireless Festival - even in the face of the US president threatening to wipe out a civilisation. And our UK bases still being used.

Donald Trump has threatened that Iran’s 'whole civilisation will die tonight'. This is incredibly alarming. These threats normalise mass civilian harm, and makes an already volatile situation even worse Starmer must condemn Trump’s rhetoric and urgently review and remove US access to UK airbases.

After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice. Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.

Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.

International cooperation can provide incentives and disincentives and punish noncompliance but ultimately the state has to be able to regulate itself. Only the people who make up their institutions of state can force leaders to comply.

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people. We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government. This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

If I went online to say I was going to bring about the death of a civilisation, I’d quite rightly expect the police at my door. He gets away with it because holding him to account would mean the use of force. That works against me – the state can enforce the law – but how do you enforce against him?

All countries between the US and Iran should shut down their airspace- deny landing rights, overflights, refueling or any other support for these explicit genocidal operations. Ideally, US military would refuse illegal orders and Congress would intervene- but that’s not happening. So, world must act

A different perspective. Always helpful.

Journey time reliability - another reason why “the motorist”, aka people who drive (and travel in other ways too), may actually get behind 55mph limits on motorways, especially if it also means fewer crashes and less lethal outcomes.

Reform UK; complicit, billionaire-owned media outlets; offshore money. They all want one thing - deregulation. It’s not even political. They don’t care about politics. They care about profit. They want low regulation to maximise profit, and they don’t care how that happens.

Blimey, go team Green! 💚💚💚 join.greenparty.org.uk

“His people aren’t us… his people are the wealthy elite.” @mothinali.bsky.social cuts through Farage’s ‘man of the people’ act.

In the coming years, I’d love progressives to work out policy in depth, and communicate it not as “this is what we’ll do, this is how we’ll pay,” but as “here’s how this will work”

“Where’s the money coming from?” National budgets can’t be usefully discussed in terms of simple, back of an envelope calculations. This is false, and it’s insulting to imply that such over-simplification is needed for voters to understand. Here’s what I understand: that’s not how any of this works.

Free bus travel, universal basic income, universal basic services, universal health care… Where is the money coming from? Let’s ask, “What aspect of the money? Which part? Which specific element of the budget would you like to analyse? Or would you like to go over every figure?”

Well done for publicising this - hope we can get the message out and these charlatans don't manage to cause the damage they're hoping for.
