It's great to meet all theses amazing new people. I thought I would introduce myself with a little thread. I’m a Green Party activist and a Patient safety manager in the NHS. I’m married and we have two miniature schnauzers! I’m here mostly to chat about politics.

I'm so sorry to hear that. My contempt for the people who have done this to the NHS is endless.

As revealed by Channel 4 News’ documentary, UK arms exports to Israel have hit record highs — £408,000 in June and £316,000 in September.

The government says it’s restricting sales, but the data says otherwise.

The UK must end all arms sales to Israel now.
A bold black-and-white Green Party graphic with the slogan “REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.” at the top. The main message in large capital letters reads “END ALL ARMS SALES,” with “END” highlighted in green and underlined. The Green Party logo and name appear at the bottom.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Huge swathes of this country have been politically homeless for far too long.

We're looking to fix that.

Politics isn't just for the wealthy.
Politics is for all of us.

Come and get your voice heard.

🚨Emergency Protest🚨 Stop the far right in Whitechapel! 📆8 October from 5pm 🏢Town Hall, 160 Whitechapel Rd, E1 1BJ The Pink Ladies (far right group who say immigration causes safety concerns for women and girls) have called a demo outside of Tower Hamlets Town Hall to protest a motion calling for action over the far right. Their call out has been retweeted by Tommy Robinson. As Tower Hamlets Council workers, we know refugees don’t make us unsafe - the rise of racism is the real threat. We work with residents affected by poverty and we need to make clear that austerity has made living conditions worse, NOT migrants! Join UNISON on the steps in front of our workplace from 5pm (or earlier if you want to help us leaflet)

Badenoch's speech completely detached from reality with no mention of protecting our communities from the climate crisis - particularly in light of her party’s plans to scrap the Climate Change Act and throw away Britain's progress on preventing climate breakdown

I'm hoping in future to do more outward facing interviews of Green party candidates for elections in the wider world. Not internal stuff.

I'm now on the Greens Organise steering committee and as I get a better understanding of the party I have stronger views on what we should be doing. Promoting views that are in opposition to mine is not something I intend to do generally. That is for journalists to do.
