A selfie of Joe in Tower Hamlets.

We’re out in the cold here in Tower Hamlets in solidarity with Heba, Kamran, and Lewie.

They’re still in prison and still on hunger strike because Labour and our government are complicit in apartheid and genocide.

As Greens we won’t forget what they’ve done.

I am pleased to have been selected as the @greenparty.org.uk candidate for Mayor of Newham.

As Mayor, I will root out the corruption and incompetence in the Council and ensure we have the best possible environment to live in.

Share this video and help us build a Newham we can be proud of.

Nate speaking in favour of divestment

Sophia speaking in favour of divestment

Tonight Newham Labour councillors voted unanimously to reject full divestment of Newham’s pension fund from complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

@newhamgreens.bsky.social and Newham Independents fought strongly but Labour blocked it.

We won’t stop - now we take the fight to the ballot box.

So go to join.greenparty.org.uk

To the Mayor of Newham: The Government is introducing mandatory pooling for local government pension funds. This reduces the freedom of councils to set their own ethical standards for investment. Newham must be able to divest not only from the arms trade but also from companies based in, listed in, or operating in Israel, whose taxes and profits sustain a genocidal government and the illegal occupation of Palestine - a state we have finally recognised. Local government divestment was central to the UK’s fight against South African apartheid and Newham residents and workers must have the same right today to ensure our money is not complicit in war crimes or human rights abuses. Government reforms must not block councils from setting local standards of divestment. Will you write to the Government and demand that Newham retains the right to divest on behalf of its residents, in line with international law and ethical responsibility?

The Government has recognised the state of Palestine but still intends to prevent councils divesting from complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza & their illegal occupation.

On behalf of @newhamgreens.bsky.social I’ve asked @rokhsanafiaz.bsky.social to demand Government protect our right to divest.

Agenda for Council on Thursday 9th October 2025, 7.00 p.m. Meeting Council - Thursday 9th October 2025 7.00 p.m. Attendance details Add meeting to your calendar using VCS format Agenda will be displayed five working days before the meeting. Proposed venue: Main Hall, Old Town Hall, Stratford, E15 4BQ Contact: Janie Berry - Interim Director of Legal and Governance and Monitoring Officer

I know many residents will be concerned and will want to know the answer. I will be asking this at Full Council on the 9th of October.

Please do come along and fight for our right to divest. ✊🇵🇸

My first week as Green Party leader Also this week: the antidote to cynicism and listening to Clacton.

📔 @zackpolanski.bsky.social 's diary: My first week as Green Party leader

wait wha, the Tory candidate has dropped out and endorsed the Newham Independents?

I voted Ani Townsend for Deputy Leader

I voted Rachel for Green Party Deputy Leader

I voted for Zack

Couldn’t be more convinced that this is the team @greenparty.org.uk needs to take us to the next level.

I’ve voted @anist.bsky.social + @rachelmillward.bsky.social for Deputy Leader, and @zackpolanski.bsky.social for Leader.

United. Progressive. Listening. Most importantly they’ll get it done! 💚🔥

Where do the Tories get off trying to mislead voters like this?

We’ve voted against every budget and put two alternative budgets. We have called for the Mayor to resign. We’ve opposed them at every opportunity.

What’s their justification for this claim?

Nothing to see here, just West Ham Conservatives trying to pull the wool over Plaistow South residents’ eyes by not only avoiding any mention of the Tories on their candidate’s leaflet, but also impersonating the Greens branding.

And then falsely claiming we support Labour!

Shameful!
