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!

His election agent is also the Newham Conservatives election agent. The conservatives have an imprint for him on their social media. He’s clearly the conservative candidate. x.com/westhamcons/...

It’s also just clearly a lie that Greens are somehow backing the Labour council. We’ve voted against every budget, we’ve put two alternative budgets. We’ve called for the Mayor to resign. Our opposition is obvious in council meetings.

No one can seriously claim we back the Labour administration.

Big moment as Caroline comes out in support of @zackpolanski.bsky.social for next @greenparty.org.uk Leader

Caroline has worked with Zack up close, alongside @zoegarbett.bsky.social - she’s in the position to know how he connects with people and with the media!

You have until 31st Aug to #BackZack

I’m clear that Zack has the determination, enthusiasm and skills to do this.

For the winner of this hard contested election there’s a huge job to do enthusing our rapidly growing membership and building teams across the country to keep knocking on doors and delivering the newsletters that will win the new green councillors and MPs our communities so desperately need.

Zack Polanski pulling away in race to be party leader, senior Greens believe Exclusive: Growing sense that ‘eco-populist’ could win after mounting what one opponent called a ‘hostile takeover’

Zack has shown how well he connects with people and with the media, gaining serious air time for the Greens.

I’m a huge admirer of Adrian and Ellie, but having closely followed every step of this important leadership election, I’ve decided I’ll be voting for my London Assembly colleague @zackpolanski.bsky.social.

Had a wonderful time at UK Black Pride in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, back to the park for its third year running!

So important to support pride for all when our community is under attack.

Come down and enjoy the ☀️ but make sure to drink lots of water, it’s very hot!

@natehiggins.bsky.social

I'm thankful these motions already have proposers but a some members have proposed more than the cap of four motions per member, so I need more proposers to be sure the motions won't be ruled out of order.

Please co-propose them on the conference platform by tomorrow 11:59pm! 🥰

This policy from @sianberry.bsky.social & others has inspired London Greens for years – but now national Government has intervened to force through expansion we need a national response
