🩺Today I had to get a health issue checked (I'm fine, all turned out well thankfully). Despite how busy they were, the NHS staff at the hospital were brilliant, and I didn't have to pay a penny.

πŸ₯Our NHS is our most important national resource and we must keep fighting to protect it. #ThankYouNHS

Green Party leader Zack Polanski holds news conference YouTube video by Sky News

Great to hold a press conference in Swindon this morning to welcome the new Green Party councillor group.

Swindon now has 3 Green Party councillors. They didn't leave Labour - Labour left them!

Thoughtful and considered piece.

Politics can be this!

@bristolgreenparty.bsky.social
councillors understand good comms means good understanding of communities.

Impressive and inspiring both!

As Patrick says, Bristol is beginning to see the benefits of Green governance. Another area of progress is the securing of 54 new specialist places for neurodivergent children at Henbury Ct & St Annes Infants &nursery. We know how out at sea many SEND families feel, and we are doing what we can.

'We do not ask lightly for Bristolians to pay more council tax' Green councillor Patrick McCallister is asking for everyone's views on Bristol's budget

"Bristol is beginning to see the benefits of a Green approach to governing: one that prioritises genuine prevention over instead of sticking plaster treatments, a philosophy at the heart of our financial mindset."

Me for @bristol247.bsky.social.

Investing in the future of Bristol

πŸ—£οΈBristol City Council is consulting on its 2026/27 budget.

πŸ’šWe have come a long way in the past year. Greens are investing in Bristol's future through prevention and infrastructure.

πŸ“‰But sadly the Labour government is still not funding local councils sufficiently.

If we had the same rate of new members joining as over the past month or so again, we'd overtake the Conservatives!

Because I listened to @carladenyer.bsky.social @caralavan.bsky.social & other Bristol Greens I saw that the @greenparty.org.uk are the most forward thinking party in British politics. I left the Labour Party to join with @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social & help make a difference...

Green party reaches 100,000 members for first time after Polanski becomes leader Green party in England and Wales has had near-50% rise in membership since since Zack Polanski took over last month

The Greens are the only real opposition left in British politics. Standing up for fair taxes, a livable planet + a future where compassion and courage matter more than corporate interests. People are understandably disillusioned, but we are here to make hope normal again - @zackpolanski.bsky.social

The A4 Portway northbound (red) will be closed overnight on Thursday 16 October 10pm to 5am, for white line painting to make it more accessible.

While the Portway is closed, all motor traffic will need to follow the signposted diversion (blue).

This is good news for freedom of expression, freedom to protest, and a secular state. He should never have been charged, and the fact that *someone stabbed him* being used against him was the worst sort of victim-blaming.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.
