Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.

On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

I guess some people think frontend dev is just about leveraging β€œpage by numbers”frameworks, as opposed to knife-and-fork html/css/js coding. I eschew frameworks, personally, but am very aware that to get the most out of them you need to understand (and be prepared to write some) code.

It's clearer than ever that it's Green vs Reform in Gorton and Denton.

A vote for Hannah Spencer is the only way to stop Reform's hate and make hope normal again.

Join the Green Party Join the Green Party from just Β£6 a year. Become a member today - join the only party standing up for people and planet.

Noticeable both Reform and the Labour Government are using indistinguishable attack lines.

Both parties protect wealth and power and take dodgy donations.

They'll do anything to stop the Green Party.

Together though - we're unstoppable:

On the day Keir Starmer U-turns on cancelling local May elections, here's a reminder to register to vote!

To be clear, Sheffield elections weren't cancelled. But now all local elections are back on, so let's make sure everyone eligible to vote has a voice.

'My child died after visiting UK beach days after a sewage spill' Julie Maughan whose daughter Heather died of E. coli after a day out at the beach says she hopes a new TV drama shines a light on the scandal of water companies dumping sewage

If you murdered someone you would go to prison.

What happened to the Water Company?

Nothing they weren't even charged.

It’s time #HouseOfGames dropped the Password123 round because it’s a bit lame. Discuss.

Well, perhaps if more of the electorate had voted in the Brexit referendum, the result might have been different…

If more of the electorate had got up off their arses to vote, we might have got a less insane outcome.

Gorton and Denton really matters for the entire country.

It's the Green Party Vs Reform.

I spoke to the Standard about how we're making hope normal again.

With tunnels under way, attention turns back to HS2’s missing Euston station Now that HS2 has started digging tunnels to Euston station, thoughts are returning to building the station, and the government is now looking for developers to do just that.
