Yes! Bring it on!!
Yes! Bring it on!!
Huge well done to Hannah and all involved in making this happen!! The terrible lies & slurs about our drug policy by both labour & reform didn't land. That's because they were ridiculous and people are far more intelligent than they've been given credit for.
Onwards! ππ±ππ±π
Whenever we see Britain First they are always rioting and smashing Britain up.
What is 'First' about that?
@zackpolanski.bsky.social in #Manchester talking about our public health approach. Vote Green!
Great piece from Hannah Spencer on why Britain needs a Green Victory at the Gorton and Denton by-election this Thursday. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
UK drug laws are currently built on hypocrisy & the price is paid in preventable deaths.
Greens want to take control of a market that exploits people, is violent & devoid of care.
I worked on our policy in 2019 with grieving families, doctors, an ex undercover- cop...& I'll continue to back it.
A reminder that at the heart of our policy is care and harm reduction set out in our 6 principles. Don't listen to the dangerous propaganda from @labouruk.bsky.social .The current system offers little protection to young people and vulnerable adults.
Prohibition never works and in fact drives harder drug use courtesy of the "iron law of Prohibition."
Everyone knows that in government but they're too scared of the tabloids to do anything about it.

When I ran for leader, I said we're going to make the Labour Government more worried about losing seats to the Green Party - than to Reform.
We're making this happen in Gorton & Denton. This is about our country.
Volunteer in the next 9 days!

My latest publication in @redpeppermag.bsky.social on why itβs high time for the UK left -all of it!!! - to get behind the full legal regulation of all drugs. Think racist policing, class prejudice, state violenceβ¦ #harmreduction @greendrugpolicy.bsky.social

BBC news Tributes after sudden death of drugs campaigner Peter Krykant A man wearing a yellow cap and a grey t-shirt sitting in the back of a van. Image caption, Peter Krykant, a former heroin addict, set up a safe consumption bus Published 11 June 2025 Tributes have been paid following the sudden death of Peter Krykant, who led a campaign for safe drug consumption facilities to be established.
This news is utterly heartbreaking. I met Peter a few times and, like many others, I've been inspired by his direct action to address drug harms.
My thoughts are with his friends, family & all those feelings this loss.

Terribly sad news about Peter Krykant. He was a kind, thoughtful and intelligent man who lived for righting wrongs in society. Many people owe him a debt of gratitude and doubtless many more lives will be saved in the future thanks to his work. Rest in peace π’ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Playing politics with people's lives & denying them the chance to live is cruel.
Drug consumption rooms save lives. They were recommended by a cross-party Home Affairs Select Committee in 2023....now not supported by Government.

A letter from Carla Denyer MP to Yvette Cooper MP and Diana Johnson MP. A link to the full text can be found in the reply to this post.
Iβve written to the Home Secretary and Policing Minister to ask for their support in establishing an Overdose Prevention Centre in Bristol.
It has the support of @BristolCouncil, local police and drug safety campaigners - all it needs now is for govt to get out of the way!
I'm often a lone critical voice on London's Police & Crime Committee.
Today we are scrutinising the Met's Territorial Support Group (TSG).
Most Assembly Members are asking for more money & more TSG.
You canβt fix a toxic, bullying culture with more money. Let's look at alternatives.

"The Slice has been investigating the arrival of dangerous synthetic opioids...interviewed dozens of local experts, charities, grassroots groups...national specialists about the science, psychology, and legal framework of drugs.
Thereβs one name that keeps coming up: ZoΓ« Garbett."
2/2 Essentially this is government supporting continued corporate control over the relationship people have with the plant. Absolutely nothing to do with 'keeping people safe'.

1/2 It is a political decision and not based on any empirical evidence to not even consider homegrown cannabis. There is more than enough information available for medical cannabis patients to choose which strain suits their condition best.
