We didn't get everything we wanted in the Renters' Rights Act. I was on the Bill committee, and I put forward loads of amendments to try to make it stronger, especially on affordability. And I'll keep pushing on that.

But it's still a huge step forward from the status quo, and long overdue. 🙏

When you spend all your time fighting inequality, and you get a win, it's so important to take a moment to celebrate! 🎊

Delighted to join Housing Select Committee chair Florence Eshalomi (another rent controls supporter), @rentersreformco.bsky.social & friends to celebrate the #RentersRightsAct!

Welcome Cllr Al-Maghrabi to the Green Party and our growing movement for a fairer society, an economy that works for everyone, and a safe future for our children. I look forward to working with you to make the lives of all Bristolians better and for a fairer future for everyone.

Safe and Secure Routes for Refugees On 25 March 2025, PCS and Care4Calais launched a new report to lobby politicians to provide a humanitarian alternative to small boats crossings.

…and it's not just me saying this - UK Border Force Staff at @pcsunion.bsky.social are calling for safe and managed routes too: www.pcs.org.uk/campaigns/fi...

For the vast majority of people (except Ukrainians and Hongkongers) there is NO WAY to claim asylum in the UK without coming by small boat

The only way to stop people making dangerous boat crossings to the UK is by creating safe and managed routes

Govt's plan is delusional

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story!

Solidarity with my colleague Mothin, who experiences frequent and appalling racist abuse.

Out and out racism is alive and well in this country. And its perpetrators are emboldened every day that politicians and journalists describe immigrants as an invasion, a swarm, or a flood.

Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96

All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing.

But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did:

Here's my report with @zoejardiniere.bsky.social on how and why the failing Home Office should be broken up: carladenyer.co.uk/no-way-home/

Screenshot of a Telegraph news article titled “Home Office ‘should be split up’ after migrant hotels fiasco.” The subheading reads: “Chairman of the Commons home affairs committee says government department is ‘not fit for purpose.’”

Cover page of a report titled “No Way Home? It is time to remove management of immigration from the Home Office.” The cover has a green background with white text. The report is by Zoe Gardner, commissioned by Carla Denyer MP, dated June 2025.

More and more people are saying it: the Home Office is not fit for purpose and should be broken up, so migration can be dealt with by a department designed to make the system actually work for all of us.

Want to help us build higher? Now's a great time

The government are reportedly planning on moving some asylum seekers from hotels to military bases...

How about, rather than shipping a few hundred people off to military sites, we let asylum seekers work and contribute to our society and fix our broken asylum system? 🤔

As Reeves travels to Riyadh to discuss trade, Saudi Arabia is in the middle of an execution spree. The UK must not cosy up to regimes with appalling human rights records.

Trade deals can’t come at the cost of our values; our govt must not prioritise profit over human rights.

I am horrified that Netanyahu has ordered military strikes on Gaza.

Military escalation will not bring justice or security; it will only prolong grief, put more civilians in lethal danger, and risk any hope of stability and peace.

To quote my friend @drkatemarvel.bsky.social, climate change won't make humanity extinct but we can do better than "not extinct". Raise your standards people!

'Starmer Has A Chance To Go Big On Delivering Climate Action – And He Must Not Wimp Out' Writing for HuffPost UK, Green MP Carla Denyer argued the surge in support for her party proves voters want action on the climate crisis.

Full article: www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/starme...

Screenshot of the headline of a Huffington Post article with the headline: "Starmer has a chance to go big on delivering climate action - and he must not wimp out."

The Carbon Budget Delivery Plan due this week is a huge test for this govt. It's a chance not just to take real action to secure a safe future for our children & grandchildren but crucially to show that climate action will make ordinary people's lives better. Me for @huffpost.com:

Good news! The #RentersRightsBill has received royal assent - this landmark legislation will give vital protections to the millions of private renters in the UK. A happy day.

Now it's time to tackle the next crisis facing renters - affordability. That must include rent controls.

We strongly agree with @carladenyer.bsky.social on this one – the UN Climate Summit #COP30 must be about action, not just words.

That’s why, at COP30 we’ll be calling for a truly just transition to fairer societies built on renewable energy, well-funded public services and equality. 🌍

UK campaigners launch bill to give nature legal rights Private member’s bill backed by Chris Packham and Natalie Bennett would impose a duty of care on government and business

UK NATURE'S RIGHTS BILL LAUNCHED IN PARLIAMENT TODAY

The bill reclassifies nature as a SUBJECT of law, with legal personhood.

It recognises that neither humans or economies can exist without nature.

This profound but positive disruption is needed NOW.

This #BlackHistoryMonth I've enjoyed checking out the entries to the #BristolBusBoycott artwork competition - these were on display at City Hall last week and many are on bus stops around Bristol.

There's also an exhibition at Sparks until 8th Nov:

Why is a Labour Home Secretary perpetuating this myth in The Sun?

Asylum applications in the UK are significantly below the average for all European countries. The only person helped by spreading this falsehood is Nigel Farage

200+ TfL staff face sudden deportation thanks to govt’s cruel sudden changes to the Skilled Worker visa

@rmtunion.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk stand with these workers

We heard from workers unable to sleep at night not knowing if they'll be forced to leave

Govt must shelve the changes

MP Carla Denyer condemns Home Office for failing to help Palestinian students reach Bristol Uni "It is not clear to me whether this is cock-up or conspiracy"

You can read the full article here: thetab.com/2025/10/20/m...

Screenshot of an article by The Bristol Tab, with headline reading "MP Carla Denyer condemns Home Office for failing to help Palestinian students reach Bristol Uni"

The govt promised it would help all Palestinian students with funded places at British universities get to the UK - but there are students with places at the University of Bristol who the Home Office is refusing to help.

Devastatingly we don't know if they are all still alive.

I joined Step Up Migrant Women calling on govt to #ScrapImmigrationWhitePaper

The White Paper will have a devastating impact on migrant women

Labour promised to make people's lives better but instead is pushing women into insecurity and destitution - shameful

💚 Amazing!!! 😲

There is so much potential in this moment...

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this so far.

Let's keep it going.
Let's make hope normal again.

Screenshot of government press release, reading: Clean energy jobs boom to bring thousands of new jobs Clean energy will bring 400,000 extra jobs by 2030, with high demand for roles including plumbers, electricians and welders

Glad to see govt finally grasping the opportunity presented by the move to clean energy - some good measures here

But we need public investment in supply chain industries to create these jobs

And what about a guarantee for workers currently at risk of being pushed out of work?
