Whatever the system. We need good hardworking councillors like Ria Patel (they/she) and Esther Sutton

Finding the mini hate spam I’ve got absolutely hilarious x

There is no LGB without the T

#TransRightsAreHumanRights

One of the first political events I actively chose to be part of was standing with my gay friends against Section 28

I continue to fight against discrimination and that's why I now stand with my trans friends against bigotry and ignorance

It's mental health awareness week, I have tried to open up a little about my own mental wellbeing through a blogpost where i work: blogs.lshtm.ac.uk/library/2024/0…

Shocking legacy of this Conservatives government. With The Labour Party tied to Conservative fiscal rules (we’ve been here before!) what realistic chance is there of things getting better for Britain’s workers with Labour? Only The Green Party has the policies for the changes we need

Disgusting.

Anneliese Dodds meeting to listen to a group amplifying the hate of & harm to trans people

Glad to say it’s something I’d never do as The Green Party’s Equalities & Diversity Spokesperson - though I’d hope that’s obvious without saying!💚

Croydon Conservatives are not interested in democracy or accountability

They are scared of the Greens because we expose the things they are trying to keep hidden and we ask the questions they don't want to answer #DemocracyDenied 🧵⬇️

Wishing Croydon had a committee system rather than a dictator…sorry, I mean, Mayor

Working collaboratively, imagine that!

Prior to yesterday’s #Croydon cabinet, I requested to ask 2 questions & was denied - as I am every month

This month’s reason? ‘the interests of the efficient and effective management of Cabinet business’

The meeting only lasted 1hr 10 mins leaving plenty of time for my Qs 🧵1/4

A model some other councils could learn from

Lots of green events happening in Croydon in the next week 😎

The first three all take place every two months

‼️ Also turn up for the protest outside Croydon Town Hall demanding local climate action next Wednesday 22nd May at 5:30 & tell your friends ‼️

The London election campaign was dominated by negative tactics of Labour and Conservatives just trying to stop the other winning

Greens put forward positive ideas and as the third largest group on the Assembly we will keep pushing the Mayor to do better

“God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve”. Conservatives bringing back indoctrination instead of education

Children will be denied information that could keep them safe from abusers until aged 9, and then only taught religious ideas about human biology

The growth of the Green vote

More and more people are realising that there is a real alternative to the same old politics from the same old parties

If you want better, vote for better #VoteGreen

Asked the PM what he was going to do about the shitshow that is our waters and just got told what a wonderful job they're doing. So I tabled a motion in Parliament for a proper plan: starting with bringing water back into public hands. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti… We Own It

You mean it's all Tory scaremongering and misinformation?

Our prison system is a mess

The wrong people are sent to prison and the wrong people are being released, while not enough is done to support people to move away from crime

We need to rethink our whole approach to dealing with crime and criminals

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a con invented to allow Governments and business to carry on burning fossil fuels while claiming they will hit net zero

Renewable energy is cheaper and cleaner, there is no excuse for building filthy fossil fuel burners

In the face of the ongoing disregard for human rights by our Government I'm always reassured by those who still stand up for justice

This ruling may only apply in Northern Ireland but I hope it's the beginning of the end of the disgraceful Rwanda scheme
