Right at the end of the event, a fab ceidlh band got everyone dancing! The backdrop is city hall with its hundreds of windows. In the foreground, lots of happy young people dancing. You can just about see the band on the stage. A wonderful way to wrap up the day.

I missed most of the #standuptoracism rally cos I had uni, but still heard brilliant speakers, met lovely people and bumped into various friends, including the @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social crowd of course! Huge congratulations to everyone involved in such a positive, inspiring day. #lovebristol

You probably learned about George Washington Carver in high school. But you've probably never heard of Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner. She's the African American woman we can thank for inventing the sanitary belt in 1957 and revolutionizing women's lives across the entire globe. 1/4

"Ellie Chowns wins applause on BBC QT, exposing Reform UK immigration myths" www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

What an absolutely inspiring day in Gorton and Denton this morning! over 400 campaigners gathered on a freezing morning to change the very future of this country! It's time for change, it's time for Greens, it's time for Hannah the Plumber!

In Bristol today we said:
No to racism.
No to anti-migrant hate.
No to anti-Muslim hate.
No to anti-Jewish hate.
No to any and every form of hate that's directed at people whether it's to do with where they come from, the god they worship, or the colour of their skin.

We stand up for one another.

Well said!

@elliechowns.bsky.social: "Reform, and before it the Brexit Party, and before it UKIP have been busy for many years fomenting his idea that immigration is the problem in this country.

"It's completely untrue."

Greens secured MAJOR changes totalling £1.2 Million in the 2026 county council budget - despite being in opposition!

🚲 £900K for pavements, paths and cycleways

🌍 £200K for climate change adaptation, resilience and community support

🫂 £100K for projects building community cohesion and cooperation

Polanskis green surge has made radical talk respectable and cost of living politics inescapable

The Guardian editorial today reflects the reality for millions.

Bills soaring.
Wages stagnant.
People pushed to the brink.

We don’t have to accept this.

It’s time to do things differently.

Some of our members made the trek today to Gorton and Denton to campaign for Hannah Spencer. 🌱

Let’s get a plumber to Parliament! 💚

Zack Polanski says Labour has 'thrown in the towel' in Gorton and Denton Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, the Green Party leader believes Hannah Spencer represents 'the future' for Gorton and Denton

Mandatory ID cards. Scrapping jury trials. Calling genocide protesters “terrorists."

There’s a strong authoritarian edge to the Labour Government. With no plan to help people, clearly thrown in the towel in Gorton & Denton.

It's Greens Vs Reform.

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

“Jim Ratcliffe’s comments were outrageous. They are offensive and they were deeply wrong. We do have a problem in our country, and that problem is inequality. It’s not immigration.”

Ellie Chowns on #BBCQT, rejecting attempts to blame migrants for country's problems.

Exactly this our democracy should not be a rich mans play thing .

👀 Watch Green Party candidate for Bingley West, John Brazendale speak about his move from Labour to the Green Party.

Starmer tells Jim Ratcliffe to apologise for saying UK ‘colonised’ by immigrants PM calls comments by Man United co-owner, who also hit out at people on benefits, ‘offensive and wrong’

Make no mistake. Starmer finally taking any kind of stand against racist rhetoric is a direct result of public support for the Green Party. He now knows that if you vote Green you get Green. People of Gorton & Denton - take note.

Disclose.tv @disclosetv NOW - EU Parliament votes to accept a report, that calls for "the full recognition of trans women as women" as part of the EU priorities for the UN CSW on "women's rights and gender equality." • • I| 0:14 12:31 pm • 12 Feb 2026 • 174K Views

The EU has just voted, by a VERY wide margin, for the full recognition of trans women as women…!

The Greens on Leeds City Council punch well above their weight, we've held the labour administration to account and brought meaningful change to the wards we represent.
I can't wait for Khizer and Brannoc Green to join us in the council chambers!

If you need your faith in politics restoring, watch this, I implore you 🥰

Absolutely beautiful podcast with Zack Polanski and Hannah Spencer

We need real people representing us in parliament 💚 💚 💚

This one is a battle for the soul of the nation

Hannah Spencer, The Green Party candidate for Gorton and Denton,

"We need people in parliament where the decisions are being made, that have got the background and the relevant lived experience, to be able to feed into decisions that are being made"

This brave woman speaks for millions of British people.

Meanwhile these thugs behave in an entirely menacing manner and nothing is done.

Zack on a train!

Liverpool to Gorton & Denton and back to London in the same day!

I'll be back again this weekend - everywhere we go, people are excited about the Green Party.

Lower bills, protect the NHS, rebuild our public services.

Budget Meeting, Full Council - Thursday, 12th February, 2026 2.00 pm YouTube video by Bristol City Council Live (Public Meetings)

Good afternoon to all democracy, local government finance and politics lovers!

Bristol City Council is setting its annual budget today and I'll be live-posting what is happening in this thread.

The meeting starts at 2pm and could last 5 hours+!

Watch live here:

As Finance Chair, I am proud today to commend @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social's annual budget to Full Council.

We are bringing a balanced budget of £1.4B in revenue spending and £400M in capital for 2026/27: millions of pounds for housing, transport and communities.

The Green Party is delivering!

My colleague @sibusisot.bsky.social speaking on the awful Labour amendment to defund essential safety and public transport works on Harbour infrastructure.

Bristol has recently seen tragic deaths in the Harbour; to propose taking money away from its safety is shameful.

Synthetic opioids may have caused hundreds more UK deaths than thought Study find nitazenes, which are up to 500 times stronger than heroin, can degrade significantly in portmortem blood samples

Sadly, this is not news to people who work in harm reduction and drug treatment. It’s why while the govt refuses to look at legally regulating drugs, we need drug checking services across the country. In the absence of a regulated market, it will save lives.
