I am not at my best right now, but I am a woman & I have brought a wonderful child into the world, despite the physical & mental damage I've endured, & I'm damn proud of him.

Happy International Women's Day to all the fucking amazing women and non-binary people out there! Take your power back 💪🏻

Everything feels shit in the world at the moment, but I genuinely think it's the rage & power of women that will make the changes we need. We are sick of men. We are sick of them killing & abusing & raping & talking over & making rules about & not listening to & underestimating & controlling us.

It's International Women's Day.

I'm feeling low, hadn't showered in days, my brain's mush & I'm not up to leaving the house let alone socialising. But today I managed to shower, do my hair, put my new fave skirt on & take this photo to prove to myself that I am a woman & women are fucking strong.

Ready for the opening night of #DeathOnTheNile at Grand Opera House! 🕵🏻‍♀️

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from Labour. We love you @mothinali.bsky.social 💚

Great news, congratulations Nadiah 💚

Wow.

The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.

They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.

The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.

And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

Dear Prime Minister, In recent days we have seen a deeply concerning escalation in conflict in the Middle East following a series of illegal and dangerously irresponsible airstrikes on Iran by the United States and Israel. You have now confirmed that UK bases will be used by the US for their operations in the area. This is a significant concession to President Donald Trump and one which risks drawing the UK into a dangerous conflict. During your campaign to be elected leader of the Labour Party, you spoke compellingly about learning the lessons of the Iraq war. In particular, you set out legislation you would pass as Prime Minister, ensuring that military action is only taken if: • The lawful case for it is made • There is a viable objective • Consent is given by the House of Commons. We agree that such legislation is needed to prevent the UK from being dragged into destructive, illegal and dangerous wars abroad, and so we have today tabled the Armed Conflict (Requirements) Bill. The Bill requires that 1. Before armed forces may be deployed for armed conflict, a Minister of the Crown must publish a statement setting out the reasons for the deployment, an assessment of its compliance with international law, the objective of the deployment and an assessment of the viability of that objective, and 2. Any such deployment must be approved in advance by a resolution of the House of Commons

I invite your support to pass this bill. In an increasingly unstable world, it is more important than ever that decisions about the UK’s involvement in military action abroad are taken carefully, soberly, and with the best interests of the British people at heart. We believe this piece of legislation would ensure that. Yours sincerely, Dr Ellie Chowns MP

Today I tabled a bill which would require any UK military intervention to have a lawful basis, viable objective, and approval by MPs - legislation the PM once said he himself would pass when he was running for Labour leader.

He supported it then, and he should support it now.

Cute spaniel dog saying congratulations Hannah!

Well done @greenpartyhan.bsky.social and @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social 🎉💚!
And well done to all the volunteers who helped in all sorts of different ways! 🪅💚
We did it! #HopeIsHere

Right?? I woke up at about half 4 or something and was irritated about the time, then I checked the results and they were literally just coming in, and now I'm happy and hopefully 💚

“I said we were here to replace Labour and this is what replacing looks like.”

Hope Beats Hate: Green Party Defeats Reform and Labour in Huge Gorton and Denton By-Election Victory A concerted political and media campaign to scare voters about a “Green Menace” winning this by-election failed, reports Adam Bienkov

📌 ICYMI — Hope Beats Hate: Green Party Defeats Reform and Labour in Huge Gorton and Denton By-Election Victory

A concerted political and media campaign to scare voters…

bylinetimes.com/2026/02/27/hope-beats-ha...

Successive interviews by Nick Robinson this morning perfectly sum up the BBC:

with Zack Polanski: sneering, aggressive, constantly interrupting.

with David Bull, Reform's Chairman: polite, nodding along, barely any interruptions.

Amazing. Will share the link when it's up so you can listen too.

Do you want to help stop Reform here in Birmingham as well as Manchester?

The local council elections are coming up in May and we are standing in EVERY ward in Birmingham - and we need more volunteers to help us defeat the despair and division of the far-right.

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚

I'm so ridiculously happy about this! Hope is back 💚💚💚

Fuck yeah! I don't understand economics very well, but I do know that things never used to be this difficult for all the average people.

Something the Government want you to forget...

Interesting, this isn't me, but I have the opposite issue; I ask people for help, and they point me to Google, when I actually want personal experience or opinions, or I've already tried Google and had no luck 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's like "I KNOW HOW TO GOOGLE, I'M SPECIFICALLY ASKING YOU AS MY FRIENDS!"

I just discovered this band today, right on time to miss their UK tour 😭 I'll be watching out for the next one for sure!

My favourite part was when Quacky finally came out at the reunion.

😂

Turns out “They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists…” was Trump introducing his own administration.

Good people conducting good law
