our mayor didn't say one word about an opposition MP calling an area of our city a slum last week, and he's yet to say a word about the prime minister eagerly calling for football hooligans to be let loose on our streets too. what's the point of having a mayor at this stage?
βIβm learning skills while earning money β not many people my age get to say that.β
Itβs why Iβm investing Β£75m to train 12,000 people in construction, so young people thrive and local businesses get the skilled workers they need.
Weβre standing to lead @TheGreenParty into its most ambitious chapter yet.
As co-leaders, @EllieChowns and I will grow Green power, hold government to account, and lead with ambition, unity and deep-rooted values.

Understandably a lot of people are worried seeing Reformβs results, but as I learnt from running as an Independent, not all those voting for them buy into the anti-immigration narrative. I had people switch from Reform to me (!) because their main motivation was voting against the established parties who they no longer trust to deliver
@imstuckinjam please look into Yakoob's previous comments on women and the fact he's Galloway backed before making statements like this. He is just as anti-LGBTQ as Shabana Mahmood is. Neither will protect my rights, so I will in fact be voting Green.
@OrangeLeafWave this is what I'm doing. Yakoob has made extremely sexist comments in the past and is backed by Galloway who is extremely homophobic and transphobic. The Greens are the only progressive vote in this seat and what will be will be regarding who actually becomes the MP.
@DrOsitaMba@LeftieStats I'm sorry, as much as Shabana Mahmood is a terrible MP who shares few of my values, I'm not voting for someone who is so openly misogynistic as Yakoob has been in the past. Neither will stand up for LGBTQ+ rights. If the Greens stood down, I would vote Lib Dem.
You fired me, repeatedly told me people like me werenβt welcome in the party, met multiple times with transphobic hate groups, protected trans exterminationists, agreed to banning healthcare for people like me and recommending conversion therapy? You might have exaggerated a bit

Change on last week
A genuinely evil man who is ideologically driven by utter contempt for Palestinians and a wish to see them all dead. A truly repulsive selection from an already repulsive party
NEW: I can reveal Labourβs investigation into suspended MP Diane Abbottβs racism comments finished 5 months ago
A source says she was given a βformal warningβ in Dec β23
Ms Abbott was required to do an online βanti semitism courseβ - which she did in Feb
Yet source says she still hasnβt been told if she can stand as a Labour candidate at election
I understand veteran MP is βangry, depressed & worn outβ by way she feels sheβs been treated by Labour
