A selfie of Joe in Tower Hamlets.
Weโre out in the cold here in Tower Hamlets in solidarity with Heba, Kamran, and Lewie.
Theyโre still in prison and still on hunger strike because Labour and our government are complicit in apartheid and genocide.
As Greens we wonโt forget what theyโve done.
I am pleased to have been selected as the @greenparty.org.uk candidate for Mayor of Newham.
As Mayor, I will root out the corruption and incompetence in the Council and ensure we have the best possible environment to live in.
Share this video and help us build a Newham we can be proud of.

Yesterday, I had an amazing time at the @londonygs.bsky.social AGM with @natehiggins.bsky.social and Elfrede, where we were helping to train up a new generation of politicians and campaigners ๐
๐ขExciting news: we have opened expression of interest for candidates for the 2026 local elections in #Newham.
๐Weโre growing rapidly and are in the position to win vastly more councillors at the next election.
๐ขInterested?

I know without any doubt that @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social changed my life and changed politics in this country forever.
What we recognise @greenparty.org.uk to be is down to her leadership and the surge she created that ensured her values would be the partyโs for years to come.

Sophia speaking in favour of divestment
Tonight Newham Labour councillors voted unanimously to reject full divestment of Newhamโs pension fund from complicity in Israelโs genocide in Gaza.
@newhamgreens.bsky.social and Newham Independents fought strongly but Labour blocked it.
We wonโt stop - now we take the fight to the ballot box.
So go to join.greenparty.org.uk

To the Mayor of Newham: The Government is introducing mandatory pooling for local government pension funds. This reduces the freedom of councils to set their own ethical standards for investment. Newham must be able to divest not only from the arms trade but also from companies based in, listed in, or operating in Israel, whose taxes and profits sustain a genocidal government and the illegal occupation of Palestine - a state we have finally recognised. Local government divestment was central to the UKโs fight against South African apartheid and Newham residents and workers must have the same right today to ensure our money is not complicit in war crimes or human rights abuses. Government reforms must not block councils from setting local standards of divestment. Will you write to the Government and demand that Newham retains the right to divest on behalf of its residents, in line with international law and ethical responsibility?
The Government has recognised the state of Palestine but still intends to prevent councils divesting from complicity in Israelโs genocide in Gaza & their illegal occupation.
On behalf of @newhamgreens.bsky.social Iโve asked @rokhsanafiaz.bsky.social to demand Government protect our right to divest.
Agenda for Council on Thursday 9th October 2025, 7.00 p.m. Meeting Council - Thursday 9th October 2025 7.00 p.m. Attendance details Add meeting to your calendar using VCS format Agenda will be displayed five working days before the meeting. Proposed venue: Main Hall, Old Town Hall, Stratford, E15 4BQ Contact: Janie Berry - Interim Director of Legal and Governance and Monitoring Officer
I know many residents will be concerned and will want to know the answer. I will be asking this at Full Council on the 9th of October.
Please do come along and fight for our right to divest. โ๐ต๐ธ
