As people continue to abandon Labour, and the Green surge continues, we'll soon overtake them in Swindon... unless we already have??

We're working hard to bring real hope, real change, to the ballot box in May. Join us!

The response you were getting on the doorstep has really been energising the folks out doing the door knocking on a cold January morning.

More Labour hypocrisy as they vote down a motion on planting street trees, which had previously been their own policy.

Why? Because it was proposed by the Green Party.

Irony aplenty at Swindon Borough Council tonight

Labour vote down a motion asking for an audit of unpaid CCJs against the council, but say there is going to be an audit into the unpaid CCJs. Why? Because it was the Tories that proposed it. Juvenile, tribal, politics at its worst

An historic moment as @swindongreens.bsky.social councillors take their seats for the first time ever on @swindoncouncil.bsky.social

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

Labour must be so proud. Their years of failing to stand up for migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers are really paying off.

They're finally getting recognised by the people whose support they've been working so hard to win over.

Green Party Councillor Tom Butcher was among Swindon Borough Councillors in attendance today at the Cenotaph, Regent Circus, to lay a wreath during the Remembrance Sunday Service.

Great to welcome some of the (so many!!) new members.

MEET YOUR GREENS 💚 We had a fantastic evening at the Blunsdon Arms this past week, with members new and old getting together.

We're fast approaching 400 new members since the beginning of September!

An arrangement of different shaped leaves in a variety of autumn colours; red, yellow, green, and brown.

It's beginning to look a lot like autumn.

Our Conference was bursting with energy, enthusiasm, and determination. The Green Party is growing faster than ever – powered by hope, action, and thousands of passionate members. 💚

After spotting a dragonfly visiting my pond to try and lay its eggs, I decided to help it along. I've scoured the garden for bits of rotten wood to plant in the pond and this is the rather wonderful result.

In a week where the grifting Cheeto has sent the army into California and is holding a military parade on his birthday, it seems like a good time to post this

A photo of my back garden at night. Where once there was a lawn is now a sea of mud. Amid the mud stands Bunny the lurcher, perching on a tree trunk to avoid the dirt, her white fur illuminated by the security lights.

Bunny doesn't like to get her feet muddy methinks...

My mum delights in retelling the story of how she watched me unknowingly eat a slug when I was a child. It had attached itself to my lettuce. She didn't warn me as she didn't want me to be put off salad for life.

Dear Prime Minister and Chancellor, it seems you don't understand the reason that benefits cost so much.
Let me explain.
1. Wages are low and we pay firms to keep their wages low by adding in work benefits.
2. Rents are high and we pay landlords to keep rents high by giving them housing benefit.

I listened to the news bulletin on BBC radio for the first time since the election result this weekend. I've ditched the many UK, US and international politics podcasts I normally listen to every day. Sometimes you just have to prioritise your own mental well-being. I have no suggestions :-(

Right, so who do I know here...?
