I don't think there's a single thing she couldn't do

Huge congratulations to Hannah, and to every single activist who went to Manchester to help campaign!! So refreshing to be reminded that there is a genuine alternative to the racist rhetoric of Reform ... and that people are choosing it! πŸ’š #makehopenormalagain

Are you a Lawrence Hill resident who needs to speak to your local councillors about local issues or council services?

We hold a surgery first Tuesday of each month, 12-1pm. First one this year is tomorrow at Wellspring Settlement! We alternate between there and J3 library.

The thing with the ineffable, principled content of their hearts is that it's interesting to their friends, partners and therapists but politically irrelevant unless it leads to a consequence

The Green Party's proposal for a wealth tax on 1% of assets above Β£10m and 2% on assets above Β£1bn comes top of our list of tax reforms that Britons would support, with 75% giving it their backing

Green Councillors welcome housing policy changes following Barton House evacuation - Bristol Green Party Social housing tenants in Bristol who must leave their properties due to a β€œsignificant mass emergency event” will have greater priority getting rehoused, following changes to Bristol’s HomeChoice hou...

Really proud of this - it took a lot of time and work to get sorted, but this should make a real difference to the tenants who are affected! Big shout out to everyone who worked and campaigned on this to make it happen ❀️

His hypothesis is just possible. She would have been 56 at the time, though, and would have had to carry Zac through the Falklands War. I think we would have noticed at press conferences or Question Time. Also I'm not sure Bair would have been her type (though she would very likely have been his).

Dark green background with the repeated faded number β€œ80,000.” In the centre, bold bright green text reads β€œ80,000 Green Party Members.” Above it, smaller white text says β€œREAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.” At the bottom is the Green Party logo and name.

Would you like me to also draft a shorter, more minimal version for accessibility-first posting (e.g. β€œGraphic with text: 80,000 Green Party Members. Real hope. Real change. Green Party logo”)?

I suppose the answer is to ask either membership portal if the other is a real membership portal.

The inspiring project connecting communities in Barton Hill "We need as a city to look after our children, no matter their colour or background"

There's so much good work going on in Barton Hill - but it's usually only the negative stuff that gets amplified. Right wing activists will tell you it's an open prison. Locals know better. www.bristol247.com/news-and-features/features/the-inspiring-project-connecting-communities-in-barton-hill/

No replays unfortunately, not even extra time. Straight to penalties at full time.

Happy to put my voice behind this. From conversation with colleagues I think a large majority of BGP activists will be voting for Zac for leader - far too many to fit on a poster, but this one will probably be widely shared.

I'm endorsing the fabulous Rachel for deputy leader of the party.

I've been inspired by Rachel from a distance, she's proven herself leading a council and performed brilliantly on TV.

It's been a little over a year since I got elected in Lawrence Hill, and I thought it might be helpful to list out what Yassin and I have been up to!

If you think I've missed anything important, either in the to-do list or the already-done list, let me know!

🚨 MYTH BUSTED 🚨

Reports of a 'millionaire exodus' due to tax changes have been revealed to be completely false by research from the Tax Justice Network.

No more excuses. Time to tax the super-rich properly.

Travelling Light, a youth theatre charity in my ward, are almost at their fundraising goal - can you help them get there?

They do great work, with 100s attending the recent Winter Lights event. All children deserve the chances and development that #theatre provides!
