Pro saving the planet, equality and being nice to each other. Can't understand why there is so much hate (except for Nicolas Cage)

History has been made. The people of Lewisham have spoken - and they said GREEN ๐Ÿ’š To everyone who voted for us, knocked on doors, shared posts, stood in the rain, and believed in us when it was easier not to: this is yours. Now the hard work (and fun!) begins ๐ŸŒฑ

Yes, Palestine was on the ballot. But so was more affordable housing, safer, cleaner streets and developing an economy that builds wealth and health in our communities. Our plan for Lewisham is underpinned by justice. Read it๐Ÿ‘‡ lewisham.greenparty.org.uk/manifesto

Amazing to see our Lewisham campaign for our superb Lewisham Green councillors and Green Mayor @liamshrivastava.bsky.social feature in @salamandernews.org I even got a mention ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ’š

@zackpolanski.bsky.social was in Gorton and Denton yesterday morning and Crofton Park, Lewisham later in the afternoon Salamander got an interview .. after the BBC and The Guardian www.salamandernews.org/zack-polansk...

They say we should help our own, but then are against reducing UK child poverty. They say that its because they are benefit spongers, but in fact 70% of those this will help are in work. Let's help ALL children in poverty wherever they are and let's have a real living wage

70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

Finally a leader of a political party speaking with the passion and anger this disgusting act by Labour of attacking the most vulnerable deserves. Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social for speaking on behalf of so many who before didn't have a voice ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™Œ

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time โ€“ almost 200 years earlier than predicted โ€“ following the Mayorโ€™s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Very happy to be able to announce that @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social now has over 1,000 members. We are one of the fastest growing local green parties in the country. Come join us and let's improve Lewisham together: join.greenparty.org.uk

The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists

adambienkov.co.uk'Anywhere But Here': How Britain's Anti-Migrant Media Consensus Is Crowding Out the TruthBritain's longstanding traditions of tolerance and compassion are being suppressed in favour of a media-driven campaign of anti-migrant hate

While this shows the worst of us, this also showed the best. Our wonderful community who has come to together to support the neighbour, the staff at local Nat West who contacted the police, and the London Fire Brigade who made the roof safe & provided a temporary fix. Grateful for you all ๐Ÿงก

If anyone spots these bastards in van E021 YDC near a neighbour please intervene - last spotted in Hither Green. They destroyed an elderly neighbours roof & tried to get large sums of money from them to get it repaired.

Last night, @lewisham.gov.uk voted to divest its pensions investments away from genocide. This is a huge win for the divest campaign and demonstrates the power of activism. A few months ago, Labour was punishing Cllrs like me for bringing Palestine divestment motions, now itโ€™s voting for them.

It's not made any sense for the whole time but today feels particularly mad. Genocide fine, calling out people committing genocide really bad ๐Ÿคฏ

Absolutely this, while I think we benefit so much from immigration in our society and culture, just being practical there also is a net boost to our economy and we just need the extra working people to provide services and pay taxes

Zoe Gardner@zoejardiniere.bsky.social

I need you lads to understand that Europe has an average birth rate of about 1.4 No charismatic politician bothered to tell you how fucked that makes us. But as we get older, we need more care, more GP appointmentsโ€ฆ Without immigration we will have no pensions very quick.
