Bad news averted!
We need more sleeping services, not fewer.
We're very glad Stockholm - Hamburg/Berlin has been saved.
The Stockholm-Hamburg/Berlin sleeper has been saved. RDC will take over when SJ pulls out. May not run on some winter nights in future though: www.berliner-zeitung.de/mensch-metro...

The House of Lords must be abolished, but while it exists we need to ensure it's representative. Different.

I'm half the age of the average peer, there are NO trans people in the Lords. That's why I'm standing for the Green Party Lords List. 💚

I'm proud to announce that I will be running to be the International Coordinator for the Green Party of England and Wales in the GPEx elections this year

We are at a critical juncture, Greens across the world are gearing up for a fight with fascism, and it’s a fight we cannot lose.

For too long GPEX have played it safe.

💪 I want to give local parties the trust and material backing they deserve.

I am not running for Deputy Leader to play nice.
I’m running to shake the foundations of how we organise and how we win.

We must never forget the 72 people who died in the Grenfell Tower.

We must change the system that was so unjust to ignore repeated alarms.

Too many people are still living in unsafe buildings because profit is being placed above people's lives.

🔥 The political system is broken—and people are DONE with empty words.

The Green Party must lead with inclusion, integrity, and real impact.

That’s why I’m running for Deputy Leader.

It’s time to fight for the future. Let’s make change happen!

Today, I had the pleasure of having to sit on the floor of a Transpennine Express train from Stockport to Dore.

The train was delayed and packed to the rafters, and to add insult to injury, there were only 3 cars all the way from Liverpool to Scunthorpe.

I'm backing @zackpolanski.bsky.social to be the next Leader of the @greenparty.org.uk.

Zack is an excellent communicator who can cut through media spin to take on Labour and Reform alike.

People are tired of the broken politics of Westminster, and want bold brave advocates for change.

As a student, I wholeheartedly support the strikers, and will be visiting them on the picket lines today.

The interview on Radio 4 today was the latest in a series of Car Crash interviews by Adrian Ramsay.

Let me be clear, if you can't as leader of the green party be clear what our policy is, if you refuse to do what is right, your position is untenable.

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans liberation will free us all.

GO were out yesterday to celebrate trans joy & human rights - not just in solidarity, but as a community that includes trans people.

You’re not just welcome here. You belong here and you make this movement stronger.

Let's stand together.

I have to say, given his silence on this issue, I no longer have faith or confidence in @adrianramsay.bsky.social as leader of the Green Party.

I also thank @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @carladenyer.bsky.social for their support of our community over the years and the previous days.
Today myself & Lu have written to Co-Leader @adrianramsay.bsky.social as Young Green Co-Chairs about his lack of response to yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling.

It is crucial we show solidarity with the trans community, to show our opposition, as a united front, to increased oppression and fear.

At Greens4HS2 we are proudly pro trans, trains, trams and tracks.

Sending love and solidarity to all our trans siblings in these horrific times.

A fantastic atmosphere today on College Green as @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social came out in solidarity with the trans community.
Thank you @carladenyer.bsky.social for your passionate speech in defence of LGBT+ rights - this is how party leaders should act!

I know there are many trans and non-binary people who will be feeling deeply worried today, caught in the midst of a media storm as they try to simply live their lives. Please know that I stand with you - today, tomorrow and always.
