No, this is everything that's wrong with politics.

1 far right protester alone in the rain🪧

Today, in Derbyshire, over 50 people who believe in peace and belonging, kindness and compassion, community and justice all gathered to counter protest 📢

Our community chose hope, not hate 💚

@frankadlingtons.bsky.social Green Party spokesperson on Welfare and Social Security:

“The existing system is very far from generous. Millions of people in work don’t get paid well enough to be able to afford heating or food, while those out of work are often just scraping by from day to day.”

Congratulations Frank!

Can't wait to see you holding the Government to account for their shameful record on welfare.

You deserve this and will do the amazing job you always do. They don't know what's coming their way!

Likely that it will be overturned tomorrow but you can email here: [email protected]

I am extremely concerned by this decision which needs to be overturned immediately.

As members we have clearly expressed our solidarity with the trans and LGBTIQA+ community.

The Green Party must leave no doubt about its position.

Olive Welch @olive-the-above.bsky.social · Sep 8

The GWD have just announced that they have secured a stand at the Green Party Conference.

This is completely unacceptable & must be immediately reversed. Allowing a transphobic org to campaign at conference would destroy the trust the Greens have built with the trans community.

Thank you for such a gracious response! I’ve long boasted that the Greens don’t do ‘piranha bucket’ politics, and your words here do you great credit.

All the very best in the future.

2/2...I will do my best to support the Green Party in our mission.

Full results will be released later, for those wondering, I placed 3rd out of 9 candidates.

Thank you for your support now and in the future.

Thank you 🤍

Honoured to have had the opportunity to present my Party with a choice. A choice of hope. A choice of unity. A choice of compassion.

Today a different choice was made and one which I hope gives our communities the representation they deserve...1/2

Sad that @frankadlingtons.bsky.social didn't make the DL, but the campaign was still so worthwhile, getting your message of hope and inclusion heard time and time again. You're helping shape the party in 100 ways and your contribution is so important to many of the members! Hold your head up high!
