Well done @cagnegatwick.bsky.social for fighting the Labour Govt’s appalling decision to give the green light to a new runway at Gatwick, ignoring the hugely destructive environmental impacts. Please give if you can.

Excellent graphic @weownit.org.uk. It clearly shows Greens to be the only existing party on the side of the overwhelming majority who want all of our public services to be run for people, not profit.

Up with the larks spreading the Green word in Queen’s Park. A vote for Marina Lademacher in today’s by-election is a vote for a fantastic, energetic candidate, dedicated to making the ward fairer and greener - and a vote against Labour austerity and complicity in genocide. 💚🗳️💚

I’m not holding of standing for elected position currently, but we would appreciate support in turning Kemptown Green at the next GE. However, there is a by-election in Queen’s Park this month it would be great if you could help us oust Labour there: www.brightonhovegreens.org/2025/08/11/m...

Many thanks for your very generous donation to the Green Party. 💚 It is indeed fantastic to have @zackpolanski.bsky.social, a strong and vocal supporter of trans rights, as our leader. I too have always championed trans rights - as do Brighton & Hove Greens @bhgreens.bsky.social & Green cllrs. 🏳️‍⚧️
