Two party politics is crumbling. There's no time to waste.

So I'm standing for Deputy Leader of The Green Party. I'll empower new leaders from all backgrounds & ensure we cut through in media like never before.

Hope Can Win.

My two stand-out highlights of Green Party conference were @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social's Deputy Leaders' speeches. Grounded, emotional, and inspiring.

Well worth watching in full:

after this section... "That is our story.... if we choose it now" - and then on to remind everyone there are no heroes coming, it's only us, and the fire... and we've got this.

Rachel Millward @rachelmillward.bsky.social · 2d

oh i'm so glad that resonated with you. I was really in two minds about getting so personal, it feels weird to tell your own story - but I hoped it would give something to others. So - thanks for sharing that.

Check out the full article in the link in the thread. 💚👇

An image of a BBC headline reads "We're Zooming up the fast track - Greens". There is an image of Rachel Millward and below a quote from the article says "We're zooming up the fast track - We've got better Comms, we've got somebody out front who can take on Farage. It is the moment for the Greens to step forward." - Rachel Millward

Really good speeches from the Deputy Leaders @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social, too.

I like that they each have such different styles.

Lots of ground covered here. Very hopeful.

We desperately want peace in Gaza, but Trump's plan is doomed to fail. Respecting international law must never be conditional. The genocide must end now.
