Tonight Newham Labour councillors voted unanimously to reject full divestment of Newham’s pension fund from complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
@newhamgreens.bsky.social and Newham Independents fought strongly but Labour blocked it.
We won’t stop - now we take the fight to the ballot box.

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. ✊🇵🇸

The Government has recognised the state of Palestine but still intends to prevent councils divesting from complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza & their illegal occupation.
On behalf of @newhamgreens.bsky.social I’ve asked @rokhsanafiaz.bsky.social to demand Government protect our right to divest.

Couldn’t be more convinced that this is the team @greenparty.org.uk needs to take us to the next level.
I’ve voted @anist.bsky.social + @rachelmillward.bsky.social for Deputy Leader, and @zackpolanski.bsky.social for Leader.
United. Progressive. Listening. Most importantly they’ll get it done! 💚🔥

Nothing to see here, just West Ham Conservatives trying to pull the wool over Plaistow South residents’ eyes by not only avoiding any mention of the Tories on their candidate’s leaflet, but also impersonating the Greens branding.
And then falsely claiming we support Labour!
Shameful!

His election agent is also the Newham Conservatives election agent. The conservatives have an imprint for him on their social media. He’s clearly the conservative candidate. x.com/westhamcons/...

Had a wonderful time at UK Black Pride in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, back to the park for its third year running!
So important to support pride for all when our community is under attack.
Come down and enjoy the ☀️ but make sure to drink lots of water, it’s very hot!

Proud that Newham council tonight unanimously backed my @newhamgreens.bsky.social motion to support #ZanesLaw. Thank you for Kye for joining tonight to speak to us.
What happened to Zane is a tragedy that must never happen again. Newham is now part of a national movement to change the law!

One of my highlights from Glastonbury was hearing from @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @elliechowns.bsky.social on their visions for the future of our party and of British Politics. I admire them and I’m thankful for their huge contributions to our movement.
Thank you to Speakers Forum for organising

On behalf of @newhamgreens.bsky.social councillors I have written to Newham's three Labour MPs urging them to oppose the Government's decision to approve Heathrow's expansion.
We've always been clear – there can be no airport expansion while the planet is burning around us.

We have the policies the political moment calls for, and the public agrees. But that means nothing if they don’t hear from us

Achieved a personal best 5k time at parkrun this morning with @adamhiggins.bsky.social for the first time since being hospitalised in April, when I had been at the peak of my adult fitness.
I’m overwhelmed with joy to have got back to that level. Upwards from here! 💪🏃♂️📈 strava.app.link/FriIB6UTOQb
