Labour must cease taking progressive voters for granted, says Sadiq Khan

Gorton and Denton was 127th on the list of Green Party target seats.
To win by such a margin there suggests there is much bigger potential for Green gains in May's local elections than most people expect

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚
So the Telegraph is taking this well
oh look a good use for ai - using it to avoid having to listen to right-wing freaks first hand. although i'm sure when we reach agi, these times journalists will be in for it.
not surprising but this is a particularly dismissive of the role of council workers.
they aren't blocking, they're trying to help. if you cut council services people notice and people get rightly angry - a council worker being hesitant to do this is justified!

INTRODUCING! Hannah Spencer Green Party candidate for GORTON & DENTON Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of the Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
Say hello to Hannah Spencer—councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and your Green Party candidate for Gorton and Denton 💚
the people that want to see motor traffic on this bridge again simply need to accept that it's never going to happen.
it's too expensive and it's quite a nice bridge for pedestrians and cyclists solely.
with the caveat that there needs to be an option for people with mobility difficulties.
How did a civil war over the future of Hammersmith Bridge end up with two competing protests on Saturday?
Plus, Laila Cunningham to stand down as a councillor and how Google Maps affects the capital’s restaurants.

People can still be an environmentalists if they drive, fly and eat meat, said @zackpolanski.bsky.social, the leader of the Green Party.
He also talked about social media, whether talks about the environment enough, nuclear power, IHT and farmers, Rosebank & more

not to mention that amazing is just a shit word.
"i'm changing the mission to something intensely boring."
Can I just shock you? I think public transport infrastructure is good and these people should fuck off.
Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.
won't be a surprise to anyone with eyes but the lack of political appetite to do anything to address the increasing size of cars on uk roads is quite baffling www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
a particularly vile aspect of this budget.
motability gets put in the crosshairs by bad faith right-wingers and the government doesn't even attempt to defend it, just deferral to cruelty.
“The Motability scheme was set up to protect the most vulnerable. Not to subsidise the lease on a Mercedes Benz,” Reeves says.
Misleading and nasty in equal measure.
Great interview with Russell Tovey - and really delighted to say welcome to @greenparty.org.uk

The clever thing about going for stuff like the cycle for work scheme is it’s really noticeable, affects people with lots of media access and platforms, annoys green groups, and raises almost no revenue at the same time. Real win/win/win there.
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

On Sunday 21st September, Oxford Street belonged to people, not traffic.
For one extraordinary day, the street came alive with dancing, dining and community.
This Is Oxford Street proved why pedestrianisation should be the future of the nation’s most iconic high street ⬇️
BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.
Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month
