🔥 The political system is broken—and people are DONE with empty words.
The Green Party must lead with inclusion, integrity, and real impact.
That’s why I’m running for Deputy Leader.
It’s time to fight for the future. Let’s make change happen!

I don't want a tolerant society, I want an intolerant one.
Intolerant of xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny, poverty, injustice.

Today we mark Palestinian Independence Day.
Now more than ever, we call for an end to occupation, justice, and a real path to lasting peace.

I made a mistake - and apologised.
I've never armed a genocide though.

“Shame on you” chant the anti fascist counter protesters trying to prevent a group of far right, racist anti migrant bullies from getting to what they think is an asylum hotel whilst Avon & Somerset Police attempt to ‘facilitate’ the march.

I and my Green Councillor colleagues in attendance will be making multiple strong complaints about the policing choices made today. It could have been peaceful, poor choices made it violent and traumatic.

The PCR positivity map is out.
National positivity has rebounded very suddenly to the highest level it's been all year.
It looks like most areas are seeing the yoyo effect this week.
