If you're wondering why I'm not following you it's because I'm following you on Bluesky instead

[Chris Williams @chrisw100]

Massive well done to Greens around the country for standing so many more candidates at these elections...

72% of seats have a Green standing, up from 56% at 2021 elections

100% full slates in:
Lancashire 👏
Cambridgeshire 👏
Oxfordshire 👏
Leicestershire 👏
North Northants 👏

@PatDBMcAllister @DrSextonGreen I'm very pleased you got this, Patrick

[Jon Eccles @jonecc]

@RichNeville That's what that is. I'm in Barton Hill and I thought it was the youth club behind my house.

@RobBryher I have read this. I am meh today.

[Jon Eccles @jonecc]

@RobBryher @HeatherMack4 Field isn't athletics? Controversial.

[Jon Eccles @jonecc]

@RobBryher @HeatherMack4 This is very much the content I am here for. Now do track v field - which is the best?

If only there were a way to raise money for public investment fairly...

@LeftieStats I dunno, I'm a nice guy most of the time but there's just something about concert level professional cellists that brings out the worst in me.

[Carla Denyer @carla_denyer]

On behalf of the people of Bristol, a @CityofSanctuary, I just asked Home Sec @YvetteCooperMP to take @UNHCRUK's advice: #LiftTheBan on asylum seekers working

It would lift them from destitution, bring in more tax, and get much-needed specialists in our economy.

She said no.

[Muslim Greens @muslim_greens]

The same press that vilified our Muslim Green Cllr @MothinAli is now celebrating his bravery in stopping rioters. We've known he's a hero from day one! Thank you, Mothin! 💚#GreenHero #ProudGreens #JusticePrevails #muslimgreen

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

Contrary to far right accounts on here saying otherwise, councillor Mothin Ali has been actively try to calm the situation in Harehills. He’s here physically trying to stop things being added to a fire.

Beware false information from bad faith actors.

On being a new Bristol City Councillor... a 🧵

[Jon Eccles @jonecc]

@greenbenali @LeapfrogMark @carla_denyer @TheGreenParty Also, the three wards Bristol West lost to become Bristol Central now have six Green councillors out of six, so had we fought this election with the old boundaries we would almost certainly still have won

[Carla Denyer @carla_denyer]

Real change only happens if you vote for it... 👀

[Anna Meares @Anna_Meares]

[Jon Eccles @jonecc]

@bristol_pip @ShonaJemphrey @EllieFreemanBS3 @GeoCalascione @HeatherMack4 @bristolgreen I reckon you all turned up like that and decided you'd style it out

[Carla Denyer @carla_denyer]

Voting tactically in Bristol Central? The choice is clear... 💚

[Jon Eccles @jonecc]

@LeftieStats Do we know if they just didn't have a candidate or if the issue was a registration error?
