Massive thanks to @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social for visiting us here in Herefordshire! With two talks for my college and our local Greens, Natalie highlighted how Green politics can Change Everything. โจ
I'm super excited to read her new book "Green Thinking" (thank you for the copy Natalie ๐๐).
Important reminder in Islington this morning that you NEED to register to vote before April 20th to vote in this year's council elections! ๐ณ๏ธ
Greens are set to win big in places like Islington. We're standing up for people and planet - vote Green on May 7th. ๐
Great to be up in Manchester last week campaigning for some of our fantastic council candidates! I'm so excited to see these amazing people elected so we can grow our Green presence in Manchester and Make Hope Normal Again. ๐โ๏ธ
The @walesgreenparty.bsky.social manifesto is here! ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐
I had a great time at the manifesto launch in Port Talbot on Tuesday. I'm super glad to see free buses for Under 22s and a ยฃ1 fare cap in our pledges! ๐
Inspiring to see so many @younggreens.bsky.social candidates standing this year. ๐
Join me in Abergavenny this Friday (my birthday! ๐ฅณ) with @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social so we can elect @ianchandlergreen.bsky.social to the Senedd in Sir Fynwy Torfaen! We'll be delivering leaflets to every house in Abergavenny. ๐

On Trans Day of Visibility I'm celebrating all the fantastic things trans activists, artists and people are doing. But I'm also recognising the failure of our government to stand up for trans people.
Trans rights are human rights and I will always stand in solidarity with the trans community. ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Great to stand in solidarity with striking workers at the Clocktower Hotel in Manchester. Whilst IHG's profits soared to ยฃ1.27 billion last year, their workers face poor conditions and are refused their right to unionise. I will always stand up for workers rights in the face of corporate greed. โ๐
Loving the weather recently? โ๏ธ
Unfortunately it's not all sunshine and rainbows, because this is a clear consequence of climate change. ๐ฅฒ
To play our part in tackling the climate crisis, and cutting people's bills, we need to move towards Net Zero, for a fairer, greener future. ๐๐
I'm extremely disappointed at the Conservative administration in Herefordshire.
We must ensure Herefordshire is a welcoming place for young people, for the sake of our county's future. Read the full article here: www.herefordtimes.com/news/2586727...
AND WE WON BY SO MUCH! ๐ช All 14,980 votes were absolutely deserved by Hannah Spencer, and big shout out to the staff team behind it all, including Miles, Izzy, Henry, Callum, Asma and Helen, who helped us take on Reform with our message of hope, changing British politics forever. ๐ฅ
GORTON AND DENTON!!! ๐
What a journey it's been. From running the first action day, to leading Hannah doorknocking with the media, and being a vocal activist for drug legalisation and regulation, this campaign has genuinely been one of the greatest experiences of my life. ๐

We have one week left to get a new Green voice in the Houses of Parliament, but it's going to be close.
We need to show that hope can overcome hate and division. Sign up with the link in the thread to campaign for Hannah Spencer in Gorton and Denton on polling day next Thursday. ๐
Reform ignoring the evidence once again? What a surprise ๐ซข
๐จ GREEN PARTY MEMBERS! ๐จ
There's two days left to vote in the Green Party's prioritisation ballot. I'm submitting two motions, A14 and A15, and it would be great to have your support. Please fill out your entire ballot with the link in the thread and rank these two highly! ๐
Another great day campaigning for Hannah Spencer in Gorton and Denton! ๐๐
We're so ready to win our 5th Green MP, and it's clear the Greens are the only party that can beat Reform here. ๐ฅ
Please come up and help us Make Hope Normal Again! ๐
Young people aren't voting for Reform UK! They're voting Green. ๐

Only the Greens can beat Reform, and it's the same in Gorton and Denton.
The Labour vote has collapsed. Come campaign with us for Hannah Spencer for hope over hate.
GORTON AND DENTON ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฅ
500+ members gathered yesterday to make sure we get Hannah Spencer elected! Thanks so much to everyone who made this fantastic day possible. Make sure to join @younggreens.bsky.social for a big action day next Sunday after WGM. ๐
People are people, no matter where they come from.
Reform and the Conservatives want ICE in the UK - we must stand up and defend migrant rights, and our rights.
Only 7% of traffic in Hereford is through traffic, yet the council believes it's worth hundreds of millions to mitigate that.
The bypass will not solve Hereford's congestion issues, it is a blatant attempt at winning votes, rather than anything that will benefit the people of Herefordshire.
Herefordshire Council is already struggling to fund basic services, but it is not sensible at all to then borrow hundreds of millions for the unnecessary bypass.
This BBC article speaks a bit about my questions to Herefordshire Council.

๐จ TORY MP DEFECTS TO REFORM ๐จ
This just goes to show that Reform is a party of Tories even more. Voting for Reform means voting for more of the same.
The Green Party can win BIG in Wales in 2026. ๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ
