A statement about the Peacehaven mosque attack from @cllremmaedwards.bsky.social on behalf of Bristol's Green Party Councillors:
Statement about Peacehaven mosque attack from Cllr Emma Edwards on behalf of Bristol's Green Party Councillors We are deeply upset to hear about the horrific firebomb attack on their mosque in Peacehaven this weekend and stand in solidarity with the Muslim community there. Also recognising that this affects all Muslim communities in the UK and here in Bristol, at a time when hate crime is on the rise. This was not merely a "hate crime" - it was an act of terrorism. Any attack targeting a place of worship and the innocent people within it is designed to instil fear, divide communities, and undermine the very values we hold dear in Britain. The refusal by authorities to call this what it is — terrorism - reflects a dangerous double standard. When the victims are Muslim, the language changes, the outrage softens, and justice feels conditional. That must end. Islamophobia is not an isolated prejudice; it is a threat to the fabric of our society. We must confront it with honesty, policy, and solidarity — not silence. As Greens, we stand with all those who reject hate and work for peace, truth, and equality. No one should ever fear for their life while praying.

Ten years ago Bristol's Green Party councillors sent a message: refugees are welcome here.

A decade on, Bristol's Green councillors and MP want to repeat our message: #Bristol is a City of Sanctuary. Refugees are welcome here.

Bristol remains one of the few places in the country to continue to provide a fully funded Council Tax Reduction Scheme (CTRS) after councillors approved the approach for 2026/27: news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

A statement from our councillors:
Bristol's Green Party Councillors Stand Against Racism Bristol is a proud city of sanctuary - a city where people of every background can find safety, belonging and hope. We utterly reject those who seek to spread hate or division through violence or intimidation. In recent weeks we have seen a worrying rise in online abuse spilling onto our streets. As Green councillors across Bristol we stand together, disgusted by these acts and united in saying clearly: "Racism and all forms of hate have no home in our city." Bristol will remain a welcoming, safe and inclusive place for everyone. ClIr Lorraine Francis, Clir Abdul Malik, ClIr Mohamed Makawi, ClIr Sibusiso shabalala and ClIr Yassin Mohamud on behalf of All Bristol Green Party Councillors.

We're really pleased to see Overton Road open for business, with a major project to reclaim the space for people and local businesses completed on schedule!

@edplowden.bsky.social says the works have “completely transformed” the street: news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

The right to protest is a key principle here in Bristol.

Cllr Emma Edwards on the Proscription of Palestine Action and the urgent need for action in Gaza.
Text Reads: PROSCRIPTION OF PALESTINE ACTION AS THE LEADER OF THE GREEN GROUP IN BRISTOL, TAM INCREASINGLY CONCERNED AT THE FORCE SHOWN BY POLICE IN OUR CITY AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY THIS WEEKEND AT PEACEFUL PROTESTS. The proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is having, as many warned it would, a chilling effect on freedom of speech, and there is a lack of clear guidance on what people can say or do without risking arrest. Are people at risk for advocating for the 17 Bristol citizens arrested this weekend for holding signs? When in other parts of the country, people doing the exact same were not arrested? By contrast, in Canterbury, armed police threatened to arrest a woman engaging in peaceful protest and showing support for the people of Gaza without mention of any proscribed organisation. All the while, hundreds of thousands of children in Gaza are suffering from hungerand many are dying of malnutrition. The UN chief recently said that Gaza's "last lifelines" are collapsing, with humanitarian conditions breaking down at an "accelerating" pace during Israel's offensive. Bristol is built on the foundations laid down by those who stood up to overwhelming oppression. Creating an environment where peaceful protest can lead to arrests is a direct attack on the very principles Bristolians have long stood for. Urgent clarity on the law and respect for the right to peacefully protest is urgently needed. Meanwhile, we will continue to stand in solidarity with those who continue to speak out against injustice, and for the people of Palestine.

Maybe Bristol Labour should spend their time calling on their own Government for a long-term solution to the SEND crisis?

www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...
Text from the Bristol Post article, reading "In February last year the cabinet decided to cut top up funding, despite a public consultation on the cuts warning the lack of early intervention would lead to greater need for long-term support and costs." A handwritten addition points out that the cabinet in February last year was Labour, with a grimacing emoji. Meanwhile, applications for EHCPs are now starting to be processed more quickly.
