The Green Party's proposal for a wealth tax on 1% of assets above £10m and 2% on assets above £1bn comes top of our list of tax reforms that Britons would support, with 75% giving it their backing

Really proud of this - it took a lot of time and work to get sorted, but this should make a real difference to the tenants who are affected! Big shout out to everyone who worked and campaigned on this to make it happen ❤️

I suppose the answer is to ask either membership portal if the other is a real membership portal.
Two Your Party membership portals stand before you. One can only lie, and one can only tell the truth. One will take only your payment, and not your data. The other will take only your data, and not your payment. You can submit only one response to the membership portal………

There's so much good work going on in Barton Hill - but it's usually only the negative stuff that gets amplified. Right wing activists will tell you it's an open prison. Locals know better. www.bristol247.com/news-and-features/features/the-inspiring-project-connecting-communities-in-barton-hill/

Happy to put my voice behind this. From conversation with colleagues I think a large majority of BGP activists will be voting for Zac for leader - far too many to fit on a poster, but this one will probably be widely shared.
We've been making steady steps forward in recent years, but now we need to take a huge stride. The political stage is set for a real alternative that challenges the elites and gives power to the people. We need to grab it with both hands with @zackpolanski.bsky.social as our next Green Party leader!

I'm endorsing the fabulous Rachel for deputy leader of the party.

I've been inspired by Rachel from a distance, she's proven herself leading a council and performed brilliantly on TV.
Two party politics is crumbling. There's no time to waste.

So I'm standing for Deputy Leader of The Green Party. I'll empower new leaders from all backgrounds & ensure we cut through in media like never before.

Hope Can Win.

It's been a little over a year since I got elected in Lawrence Hill, and I thought it might be helpful to list out what Yassin and I have been up to!

If you think I've missed anything important, either in the to-do list or the already-done list, let me know!

🚨 MYTH BUSTED 🚨

Reports of a 'millionaire exodus' due to tax changes have been revealed to be completely false by research from the Tax Justice Network.

No more excuses. Time to tax the super-rich properly.

Travelling Light, a youth theatre charity in my ward, are almost at their fundraising goal - can you help them get there?

They do great work, with 100s attending the recent Winter Lights event. All children deserve the chances and development that #theatre provides!
