It's International Women's Day!

I proudly give my time to #WomenInTransport and to #ITFUEngland , 2 amazing organisations that hold women up and encourage women to achieve.

I've been lucky to be supported myself, and it's good to give back.

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

This is brilliant. Having a party leader who is a human being is such a breath of fresh air.

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 πŸ’š

Reform would create ICE-style agency and end leave to remain, Zia Yusuf to say Nigel Farage’s party plans to deport up to 288,000 people a year on five flights a day and expand stop and search

Reform want to bring Trump’s thugs onto our own streets. They must be stopped.

Only a vote for the Greens in Gorton and Denton on Thursday can stop them.

Hope will defeat hate.

Final weekend. One last push.

This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate.

It's hope vs hate.

It's Greens vs Reform.

Hope can win.

On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

37% of voters approve of ICE?

40% don't want ICE out of Minneapolis?

42% don't want Kristi Noem removed from office?

What the hell is wrong with people?

Labour only has emotional blackmail left.

Green by-election candidate Hannah Spencer has a suggestion:

"How about you actually just do something to make people vote for you?"

Truly amazing to have hundreds of volunteers with us today for the Gorton and Denton campaign, including: @zackpolanski.bsky.social @mothinali.bsky.social @rachelmillward.bsky.social

The other parties are no way going to match the people power we have showing up for Hannah. πŸ’š
