Five candidates at the Islington Tribune hustings last night. On a black painted stage with a Holloway rd TfL roundel behind them.

View of audience at the hustings in a black painted room with spotlights to the stage.

The only candidate at the @islingtontrib.bsky.social hustings last night to fully support Low Traffic Neighbourhoods was @greenbenali.bsky.social with a story about seeing a young child cycling with their parent proudly saying “look daddy I’m riding on the road”.

🗳️ Election Day is the big one. This is our MOST important moment to get out the vote - the conversations we have on polling day can make all the difference. But even just a few hours on any of these days will go a long way to making Islington GREEN 💚

Even a few hours on any of these days will be a game changer More details in the link

Every single day includes door knocking + leafletting, so you can get stuck in however you feel comfortable - chatting to voters or helping spread the word.

Come along, bring a friend, and be part of real change.

The Green Party could become the biggest party on Bradford Council.

But winning elections isn't cheap.

We aren't backed by billionaires like Reform and we don't accept dirty corporate cash like Labour.

So, as @zackpolanski.bsky.social says: please consider donating to the Green Party 👇

Zack Polanskis Glastonbury style dancing is no joke

My own answer to this pretty odd question would be that I wouldn’t choose to taser anyone.

Who would? And framing this around political opponents is really problematic.

The govt's move to decouple the price of electricity from the price of gas needs to be done right. If it’s voluntary, people’s bills may not decrease by as much as hoped. Reeves didn’t take up my invitation to send her @cmmonwealth.bsky.social's report – I’m going to send it anyway

‘Dancing is resistance’: Zack Polanski and the Greens bring the party to the ravers In run-up to May local elections, the Green party is reaching people who may not normally attend a political speech

The PM says it is "unforgivable" that he was not informed about Mandelson failing vetting.

It is Starmer's clear lack of judgement and disregard for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein which is unforgivable. The PM must take responsibility and resign.

Keir Starmer actually put this in a briefing to Labour MPs of 'useful questions to ask' today. The PM knew of Mandelson's relationship Epstein when he appointed him.

And yet thinks he can still exploit the grief of the victims. This is why he is not fit to be Prime Minister.

Letter on UK Parliament headed paper dated 16 April 2026, addressed to Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. Green MPs urge him to maintain the ban on new North Sea oil and gas licences and not approve projects like Rosebank, Jackdaw or Cambo. The letter argues new fossil fuel extraction will not lower bills or improve energy security, and says claims about protecting jobs are inaccurate. It highlights that 93% of recoverable oil and gas has already been extracted and that remaining resources would be sold internationally. The MPs warn expanding fossil fuels harms workers, billpayers and future generations, and call instead for investment in renewable energy, warmer homes, future-proof jobs, and making polluters pay. Signed by Carla Denyer, Ellie Chowns, Siân Berry, Hannah Spencer and Adrian Ramsay.

Our MPs have written to Ed Miliband urging him not to backtrack on the ban on new oil and gas.

More drilling won’t lower bills or secure our energy future. It’s time to invest in renewables, future-proof jobs, and make polluters pay.

50,000 members of the young greens

Ciara and Callum quote as co-chairs of the young greens.

This week I’ve been challenging the Govt’s sinister attempts to abolish the right to choose a jury trial.

Here is the Minister confirming that the right to elect a jury trial IS being completely abolished with this Bill!

A fundamental cornerstone of our justice system established in 1670: gone.

Only 3 weeks till the election! Meet the team standing in Tufnell Park ward:

💫 Sheridan Kates
💫 Devon Osborne
💫 Sophia Anderson-Glyden

They have ALREADY begun fighting to make Tufnell Park a better, cleaner ward for its residents. Hear what they have to say! 💚

Tonight MPs will vote on the govt's latest attempt to crack down on the right to protest - this time through restricting recurrent protests.

Myself and fellow Green MPs will be voting against these plans; peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy and must be defended.
