Nobody voted for this.
Alarming how quickly we have descended into a polite authoritarianism.

[Cllr Z.Kheyre FRSA BA (Hons)Psych& Criminology @Autismmother1]

In #Newham we treasure diversity!

[Newham Green Party @NewhamGreens]

We are disappointed that Labour and the Newham Independents have voted to defer our motion supporting both the Trans and disabled communities.

They say they support Newham and the diversity of our community, but won't take real action to do so.

[Newham Green Party @NewhamGreens]

Greens are proud to vote in support of Labour's motion which celebrates Newham's diversity and rejects far-right racism, hatred, and division.

Council passed it unanimously!

[Newham Green Party @NewhamGreens]

Following pressure from Greens and independents, Newham Council has voted today to divest from Israel's genocide in Palestine, the arms trade, fossil fuels, and other human rights violations.

Human lives cannot be measured on a balance sheet.
Labour's amendment was rejected.

[Newham Green Party @NewhamGreens]

Cllr Joe Hudson-Small has challenged the cabinet to do more for residents safety on and around Green Street in light of recent collisions and the three deaths last month.

The response? Deafening silence from the cabinet member who chose not to attend today.

[Soni Quintero @Sonesquin]

Great day in #Stratford! 💚 Started with my councillor surgery, then joined the #SummerFamilyParty and had a great chat with a fellow Cllr Kwarteng from West Ham Ward. Always good to connect with residents and colleagues working to make Newham even better.

[Soni Quintero @Sonesquin]

My thoughts are with everyone affected, especially those whose journeys have been disrupted. Please avoid the area and follow the advice of the emergency services while they work to bring the situation under control. #stratfordstation

[Soni Quintero @Sonesquin]

I’m aware of the fire incident near Stratford Station, which has led to the station being evacuated and temporarily closed.

A huge thank you to the London Fire Brigade, transport staff, and emergency services for their swift response to keep everyone safe.
🙏🏼🙏🏼

[Soni Quintero @Sonesquin]

Let’s celebrate. But let’s never forget.
#Pride did not begin as a party.
It was born from courage, resistance, and the refusal to accept injustice. Every right we celebrate today exists because people stood up, spoke out, and fought back.
Happy Pride. 🏳️‍🌈✊

Colombia: a country that refuses to look towards the future, anchored in old structures and unable to step out of its long, dark night. #corruption

[Soni Quintero @Sonesquin]

Very happy to support residents in bringing back #FriendsOfStratfordPark initiative🌿 I am working with neighbours and community groups to make Stratford Park greener, safer and more connected for everyone. 🌱#NewhamGreenParty

[Soni Quintero @Sonesquin]

We met, I listened! #Residentsfirst Exciting news coming soon from some amazing (and quite intense) meetings with residents.
I understand politics as a service and an act of care.
Reaction is important, actions are needed, but prevention is key.

[Soni Quintero @Sonesquin]

#TransparencyMatters grateful to be part of a party that stands and fights for clarity, transparency, and accountability. @NewhamGreens

[Nate Higgins @natehiggins]

🚨 After I won a commitment at December’s Pension Committee meeting after months of questioning, I’m proud @NewhamLondon’s pension fund has finally published its list of holdings.

This is the transparency that residents and fund members deserve.

[Soni Quintero @Sonesquin]

First weeks as #StratfordWard councillor: busy, inspiring and full of learning. Grateful to meet amazing residents, grassroots initiatives and organisations like #AbbeyGardens and #DiscoverChildrenStory

Exciting things coming for our area

[Joe Hudson-Small @joehudsonsmall]

Greens have chair of council – for the first time in history our meetings won’t be stage-managed by Labour – we will treat all councillors equally and guard against executive overreach.

NIP have chair of overview and scrutiny, probably the most powerful role besides the Labour mayor (who was directly elected by residents).

Together Greens and NIP chair all the scrutiny committees. We also chair pensions and most other committees – and between Greens and NIP, we have a majority on every single committee.

Yes, Labour only got vice chair of council…
That’s it – NIP call this an “unholy alliance” with Labour for some reason…

NIP vagueposting would give you the impression that we gave Labour the mayor, chair, and control of council committees.

That never happened.

Greens are serious about finding common ground where we can and working for all the people of Newham, while NIP would apparently rather grandstand and attack people who should be working together.

[Soni Quintero @Sonesquin]

Politics should be about cooperation, accountability and sharing responsibility, not shutting people out. Supporting a more collaborative approach to governance feels like the mature and democratically responsible decision #Greenparty #NewhamGreenParty

[Danny Keeling 🌱 @Dannny_K]

Out today at Abbey Gardens for World Bee Day 🐝 They have done some amazing work in this community garden. This is just 2 mins from my house and it was lovely to be here with the 2 new Stratford councillors @Sonesquin and Chae Ho Hwang 💚
