Definitely looks like Labour are sore losers. Itโs a disgrace that Bristol Labour councillors walked away from their responsibility and duty to the public by refusing to take policy committee chair positions now theyโve run to Government to take away more power from the public!

Everyone should have access to a dentist, yet kids across the country have rotten teeth & people are in pain because they canโt get the treatment they need. The Govt must ensure that dentistry receives its fair share of funding.

Fantastic result ๐ Thank you @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social
for all your brilliant work on this & to everyone who campaigned so hard ๐. And hereโs to building trust, reassurance & support among those who still have concerns @dignityindying.org.uk
I had an abortion in my 20s - I know how important it is that women have control over our own bodies and don't face criminalisation for our choices.
I am so glad to be 1 of 379 MPs who successfully voted to decriminalise abortion today - an historic vote to protect a woman's right to choose.
This is such a monumental and important moment for the left. We will not get change by staying in our silos.
Resolving that means coming together and deciding on a way forward

Appreciated.

For too long GPEX have played it safe.

I am not running for Deputy Leader to play nice.
Iโm running to shake the foundations of how we organise and how we win.

Also, I likey likey Paddy McGuiness as much as anyone but whys he had a spot on BBC Question Time and @zackpolanski.bsky.social hasn't is beyond me !
To be fair Paddy was great on on #BBCQT...
๐ฅ The political system is brokenโand people are DONE with empty words.
The Green Party must lead with inclusion, integrity, and real impact.
Thatโs why Iโm running for Deputy Leader.
Itโs time to fight for the future. Letโs make change happen!

Thanks ๐ sorry slow reply. Been taking a break as Iโve had two deaths of people I cared about this year as well as running the campaign so just resting for a bit!
Now supporting @anist.bsky.social for Deputy Leader and @zackpolanski.bsky.social for leader of the Green Party!
Cracking combo! ๐
Iโm backing Ani Townsend for Deputy Leader as they are an incredibly capable and amazing human. Their work ethic is calm in any crisis, wise and inclusive of all. They would be a credit to the party and a shining example of how politics can be done with kindness and putting existing members at the heart of policies and process. Ani is passionate about welcoming new people in. They find a way of supporting and encouraging everyoneโs talents which is what we need to grow the party activist bas Mary Page, West of England Mayoral candidate 2025
