🔥 January was the world's warmest on record.

🤯 And yet Labour are backing climate-wrecking airport expansion and more oil & gas.

💚 We need real investment in renewables, home insulation and public transport to bring down bills AND emissions.

We need full implementation of our Climate Change Act.

An image promoting LGBT+ History Month 2025 by the Green Party Northern Ireland. It features bold, brushstroke-style rainbow colours across the background. The text highlights the theme: “Activism & Social Change.” The Green Party NI logo is positioned at the bottom.

“Activism and Social Change”—a battle cry, not just a theme. LGBTQ+ warriors have shattered barriers from Stonewall to Stormont. Their courage transformed lives. Act. Attend events. Learn history. Support LGBTQ+ groups. Every action matters. This isn’t about remembering history—it’s about making it.

Lá Fhéile Bríde faoi mhaise duit! Inniu, déanaimid ceiliúradh ar finscéal a bhaineann le tosú úr, cúram fíochmhar don Domhan, agus cumhacht an phobail. Cibé an bhfuil aithne agat uirthi mar naomh, mar íocón Ceilteach, nó mar shiombail den earrach, tá scéal Bhríde ina chaoineadh ar ár saol.

A Green Party graphic celebrating St Brigid’s Day. The text “Happy St Brigid’s Day” is written in white, handwritten-style font at the top. Below, a hand holds a bundle of reeds with a glowing green flame, symbolizing passion and renewal. The phrase “Burning for justice” appears in smaller white text near the bottom right, alongside the Green Party logo. The background is a dark blue, creating a striking contrast.

Happy St Brigid’s Day! Saint, Celtic icon, OG eco-warrior. Her flame wasn’t kept alive alone: it took communities tending it through storms. As habitats shrink and temps rise, we need that same grit. Plant wildness. Fight pollution. Demand better. Progress shouldn’t cost the Earth. 🌱

Where did it all go wrong?

A Green Party Chinese New Year greeting graphic. The background is red, featuring a gold, intricately designed snake decorated with floral patterns. The Green Party logo appears at the top, and the Chinese characters “新年快乐” (Happy New Year) are displayed in white.

Xīn Nián Kuài Lè! 新年快乐 Happy Chinese New Year! As we enter the Year of the Snake, we thank Chinese communities for enriching our society. Snakes symbolise renewal and progress—values guiding us towards a greener, harmonious future. Together, we build unity through cultural respect.

A Green Party Northern Ireland graphic highlighting the housing crisis. The background features a collage of images and statistics on housing and cost-of-living struggles. In the foreground, a Belfast Live news headline reads: “‘Enough is enough’: New group set up to tackle Northern Ireland’s growing housing crisis.” The bottom right corner includes a call to action: “Build social housing now.” with a “Twelfth Night Homes for All” banner.

Northern Ireland’s housing and water infrastructure crisis is at breaking point. Build Homes NI calls it an “omnishambles”—and they’re right.

A Green Party campaign image with a bright red background. At the top is the Green Party logo in white with a small green leaf. The main text reads 'WE CAN'T AFFORD A NEW RUNWAY ON A BURNING PLANET' in large white text. Below are two politicians in business attire, both pointing and smiling at the camera. They're wearing dark suits with red and burgundy accents. At the bottom, white text reads 'They're having a laugh - at our expense'."

While Britain faces cost-of-living crisis & climate breakdown, Labour's leadership just greenlit massive airport expansion. They're laughing - at our expense.

"Don't worry about bats and newts," Reeves tells builders. Really? Writing off wildlife protection laws while the planet burns?

A Green Party Northern Ireland campaign graphic advocating for safer cycling infrastructure. The background features a tinted image of cyclists, including a child in a rear bike seat, riding alongside traffic. Bold red and white text in the center reads “SAFE LANES SAVE LIVES.” Below, in smaller white text, it states, “No taxis in bus & cycle lanes.” The Green Party Northern Ireland logo appears at the bottom.

Cyclist safety is at risk with the Dept for Infrastructure’s 6 month trial allowing more taxis in Belfast’s bus & cycle lanes. @briansmyth99.bsky.social : “Cycling in this city is dangerous at the best of times; any extension heightens this.”

Closes 5-Feb:

Alt text: A collage of social media graphics addressing housing and energy issues in Northern Ireland. Key messages include: 1. “Northern Ireland’s homes are among the worst-insulated in Europe, turning our living spaces into energy traps,” over a thermal image of houses. 2. “49% are losing sleep over rising energy bills,” featuring a shopping trolley. 3. “4,556 households are living in limbo, their lives on hold in temporary housing,” with an aerial view of a town. 4. “Half of NI struggles in January, imagine every other person you pass on the street worrying about how to pay their bills,” illustrated with a warm cup of tea. 5. “47,000 households waiting. Build social housing now,” on a blurred image of houses. The graphics are overlaid with the campaign slogan “Twelfth Night Homes for All” and the Green Party NI’s website link.

NI’s housing nightmare: 58,238 homeless, 5,106 kids in temp homes, 47,000 on waiting lists. £1,300 energy bills crippling families. 495% surge in temp housing costs. 25,000 hidden homeless. Not just a crisis - it’s an emergency. Green Party NI says: enough. Join us. Let’s fix this. greenpartyni.org

Glasgow just opened Scotland’s first Overdose Prevention Centre, a bold move to tackle the drugs crisis. It’s time for Belfast to follow suit. GPNI leader Mal O’Hara has long advocated for these centres, which save lives, reduce harm, and connect people to support. Let’s act now.

Graphic image with green background highlighting the fact that 58,238 people are officially homeless in Northern Ireland, enough to fill Belfast City Hall’s main function rooms 67 time over. There is a photo of Belfast City Hall at the bottom, a tagline saying “Twelfth Night Home For All”, and text saying greenpartyni.org/join.

58,238 people in NI are officially homeless. That’s enough to fill Belfast City Hall’s main function rooms 67 times over.

Our plan to deliver 2,500 energy-efficient social homes yearly tackles this crisis head-on. It’s time for urgent action to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home.

Another bloody nose for the Alliance Minister and his party's supposedly environmental credentials.

Happy Xmas.

Lots of talk today about what the DfI minister will announce RE. Congestion in Belfast

Greens clear on this, DfI's car brained attitude of letting private hire taxis into bus lanes & lack of cycling infrastructure is the wrong approach, massive increase of active travel spending needed

Putting on the Christmas style in Dublin today! #Dublin #Cycling #Christmas

Ahh...Some #WinterLights in #Dublin brightening up these cold dull December evenings.

Considering the adoption of far right language by some in politics, the media and the promotion of facism by the algorithmic overloads in Silicon Valley, it’s a wonder that things aren’t worse.
There is a lot to do to turn the ship around & counter the narrative that newcomers are the problem.

In a statement, a Sinn Féin spokesperson said the party "accepts the current medical advice from the chief medical officer" and that they will monitor the British Medical Association's review of the Cass Report. "To be clear, our position is that clinical and health care is best determined by doctors and clinicians - not politicians - and needs to be informed by the clinical and scientific evidence," the spokesperson added.

In August, a Sinn Fein spokesperson said decisions around puberty blockers should be left to medical professionals, not politicians.

Sinn Fein & Alliance ministers then implement a ban without publishing any evidence, so what has changed?

Where are the allies within those parties to call this out?

Coicis ó inniu! 🎄🎅

Feeling sad and angry that we have to do this, but please come and join the cycle vigil organised for Gary McMahon who was killed while cycling just days ago.

No more excuses. Build safe infrastructure now @deptinfra.bsky.social

It's Christmas come early on Upper Arthur Street!

Great to see this cycle lane properly protected again 🎁☺️

Today is Human Rights Day, and here we have the Executive parties letting a vulnerable minority, attacked endlessly by the right wing, down - in such a disappointing way.

I do not have trans family but this, for me, is about bodily autonomy and is a red line when in the voting booth.

Everyone deserves dignity, equality, and freedom. Human rights are universal — no exceptions.

For @greenpartyni.bsky.social, human rights go beyond borders:
