My first time voting in the UK was @zackpolanski.bsky.social for @greenparty.org.uk leader. I’ve been waiting for the Greens to be braver, bolder, & a little more ‘no nonsense.’ Zack is that dude. Also @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social complete the dream team! 💚

Yesterday, local members attended a Stand Up To Racism counter-demonstration in Skegness where far-right groups planned a rally at a hotel. ✊

In a time where hate is being used to turn people against each other over immigration, hope & community should always triumph over hate & isolation.💚

It's really quite simple. If you're increasingly affected by the cost of living, NHS waiting times, the job market etc. it's not the fault of migrants.

Migrants have become a convenient scapegoat to distract away from extreme wealth inequality caused by the 1% - Farage's mates.
Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.

Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.

Don't fall for it.

Today we supported the Greater Lincolnshire Litter Pick alongside Lincoln Trades Council & community groups.💚🌱

It's important to do these things when you really care about the community, it's not about political point scoring! It's about doing what's right for local people and wildlife. 🗑️🚯

Let's not forget that not only would rising temperatures damage the output of crops from Lincolnshire (supplying around 30% of veg).

...But predictions by scientists at @climatecentral.org put a 1m rise in the sea level devastating swathes of Lincolnshire's farmland.

So, the only policy change so far compared to the tories before them was to... abolish the flood defence committee?

....In one of the most vulnerable counties to flooding? 🌊

Riiiight. And what about as climate change worsens extreme weather?

Basic income for farming! 🌱👩‍🌾🚜

A progressive policy to make it fairer for rural and regional economies and give wealth back to the land! 💵

The Greens 💚are the ones looking out for farmers 👀🥔

#ukpolitics #democracy #farming
It's time for a basic income for farmers.

20% of the wealthiest landowners recieve 80% of the subsidies.

Meanwhile the farmers who protect our food security are often just trying to survive.

A shocking decision indeed. 🥕🌱

Allotments have a long history in the UK and are essential for those with little access to green spaces to enjoy gardening! 👩‍🌾🍅

Another decision against democracy and long-term thinking. Council funding needs to be properly restored! 💚💵

#ukpolitics #democracy #green
Shocking decision!🤬
This Labour government is now flogging off allotments to plug council budgets.

Here's an idea, why not end austerity, restore local council funding, and actually PROTECT the green spaces that we cherish.
Angela Rayner gives councils green light to sell off allotments
Labour's Angela Rayner has approved the sale of eight allotment sites in England since the party came to power, according to a report in the Telegraph. The move has been branded a "kick in the teeth" to Brits
