The brutal cynicism of the so-called Board of Peace
www.thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2026...
Yesterday Government announced the final figures for councils next year... and little or nothing more for B&HCC. Why isn't our Labour council able to get more for Brighton and Hove from their Labour government? @bhgreens.bsky.social

Brighton & Hove Green Party utterly condemn the antisemitic graphic of Green Party leader Zack Polanski posted on Friday by ‘Reform UK Brighton & Hove’ on their official Facebook page. There can be no question that the graphic is antisemitic: depicting Zack Polanski, only the fifth Jewish leader of a UK political party in history, using tropes and imagery that deliberately and intentionally draw upon Nazi propaganda. The image itself is beneath contempt. Yet it is even more terrifying to reflect that for Reform UK, this is nothing new. This act of antisemitism represents only the latest demonstration of Reform’s openly racist and fascist platform. Nationally, they have been at the forefront of fuelling a rising tide of hatred, and discrimination. And on Reform UK Brighton & Hove’s Facebook, this antisemitic attack on Zack Polanski was followed yesterday by a further racist graphic declaring New York Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to be a terrorist. Brighton & Hove remains a city that is anti-racist, anti-fascist and that stands firm against hatred. Two weeks ago, Brighton & Hove Greens were proud to join more than 600 people at the Stand Up to Racism Unity March. We note that this follows our own party members being subjected to explicit antisemitic abuse in the public gallery during a council meeting earlier in the month. We will continue to stand against antisemitism and racism in any form - and stand in solidarity with Zack Polanski against such abuse.

We should all ask the question: Where is Keir Starmer?
Local Government Reorganisation was not in Labour's 2024 manifesto, will cost us a fortune when we can ill afford it, will not improve efficiency and will undermine local democracy. Its an expensive solution to a problem way down on our priority list and should be scrapped
Massive victory for a brilliant candidate who will be a fantastic Councillor. Welcome Marina and well done!
"Marina is committed. She has energy. She is all abouIt equality and fairness, and stands openly against the genocide in Gaza."
Former independent parliamentary candidate Tanushka Marah on why she's endorsing Marina Lademacher in the Queen's Park by-election on
September 18th.
Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history.
And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:
Green overlay over picture of Caroline Lucas and Marina Lademacher in Queen’s Park. Text: "Marina is passionate about representing people in Queen’s Park, and working hard all year round. We have a Labour government and Labour council who we can push to be better. That is exactly what Marina will do in Queen’s Park.” Caroline Lucas, former MP for Brighton Pavilion
"Marina is passionate about representing people in Queen’s Park, and working hard all year round."
@carolinelucas.bsky.social on why Marina Lademacher is the best candidate for Queen's Park.
graphic with Angela Rayner headline and local headline on Labour tax evasion and a local man facing a mouldy flat. headline: one rule for them, another for the rest of us. it's time to kick Labour out. Brighton and Hove Green Party logo
Two flats. Same city.
One rule for them. Another for the rest of us.
It's time to kick Labour out.
Labour knew they'd need a full council stamp on this ages ago. Now a special council meeting with three weeks notice, no heads up to other parties, no consideration of obvious clashes. Shambolic and rude

Leading a political party means leading the political conversation - being available and being heard on the platforms people actually use.

Image shows a sewage map of the coastline along Brighton. It shows an ongoing pollution incident at Shoreham.
Latest 💩 sewage 💩 alert.
Southern Water hiked bills more than any other water supplier this year. Is the money being used to fix Brighton’s Victorian water system? Clearly not!
It is diabolical that these private companies continue to profit while our coast is polluted.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "The problem is not the small boats, the problem is the private jets.. lets make sure the people in this country that have massive wealth are redistributing a tiny bit.. 1% on assets of £10m or more or 2% on assets of £1bn or more. That would raise about £25bn"
By juggling demand for speaking to national audiences with nurturing individuals & local parties, @zackpolanski.bsky.social can play to his many strengths & bring to life that vital yet often intangible political ingredient about which he spoke so meaningfully - hope. Me for @indyvoices.bsky.social
Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on your stunning victory.
Your campaign took on the rich and powerful, stood up for the dignity of all marginalised communities, and gave people hope!
Real change is coming. I look forward to working with you to bring about a fairer, kinder world.
Bold leadership now in bold text at top of Green background graphic. Pictures of Zack Polanski (leader), Rachel Millward (Deputy Leader) and Mothin Ali (Deputy Leader). Text: The system is broken. If you want a radical alternative, vote Green. Brighton and Hove Green Party.
BOLD LEADERSHIP NOW.
The Green Party has today elected Zack Polanski as our new leader, with Rachel Millward and Mothin Ali as our new Deputies.
The system is broken. If you want a radical alternative in Brighton & Hove, there's only one answer: vote Green.

Zack as leader, Rachel and Mothin as deputies. Brilliant result for the Greens
Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives?
Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course
Brighton's last tram (number 53) is being restored and is nearly ready to come back to the city. Built in 1936 it was all electric and carried 100 people up Elm Grove. It looks amazing. All aboard! brightontram53.org.uk
"The party members realise the gravity of this contest. Has the Green moment finally arrived?
Won't only determine the direction the party itself takes, but the future configuration of the British left."
🚀 Let's go.

Loads of Green posters up. So many disaffected Labour voters. Go Marina!
Marina Lademacher has been working non-stop as our Green candidate for Queen's Park - and we were delighted to be joined last night by @carolinelucas.bsky.social in speaking to residents who want change.
🥀 People are sick of Labour.
✅ Vote Green on September 18th to show enough is enough.

Feels like the Green Left are taking a much needed collective breath.

You can't claim to be serious about the climate crisis while expanding airports.
Heathrow’s third runway won’t help working people: it’s a gift to the ultra rich frequent flyers.
