🔥 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! anitownsend.com
I don't want a tolerant society, I want an intolerant one. Intolerant of xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny, poverty, injustice.
My Green Party leadership picks are: Leader 1 @ZackPolanski 2 Re-open nominations Having interviewed almost all the candidates this is very tough and the standard is universally high but: Deputy 1 @AniST 2 @a4antoinette 3 @Frankadlingtons 4 Ash Routh
Voting @MothinAli & @AniST as my first choices for @TheGreenParty Deputy Leader. Strong working class voices that understand we need more representation in the north and from people with minoritised backgrounds. With @ZackPolanski as leader, this is a strong team. #GreensElect
Any candidate that GWD tells me to RON will get a high vote from me!
Thank you @GWDeclaration for the enthusiastic encouragement to RON me! My response? Trans Right are human rights. An attack on trans rights are an attack on women’s rights, on lesbian rights, on queer rights, on feminism. 🏳️⚧️💪
Thank you so much Finn, I really appreciate it
I welcome a muddy organic healthy soil coloured coalition of Red & Green! I'm staying in the Greens for now & voting #backzack for Eco-Socialist leader Greens (said he'll work with ZS/JC) & outstanding choices for Deputy Leaders as well, like @MothinAli @rachelmillward @AniST

Currently watching Doctor Who from 2005 with the 13YO. We’re now on the greatest episode of all time. Blink.

With the candidate lists all out, I'm really excited to say I can't wait to vote for @ZackPolanski, Ash Routh, and @AniST in the leader and deputy leader elections.
The statement can be found here but should sound alarm bells for all. Many of us in Sheffield pushed for the committee system after the tree felling scandal, allowing all councillors a say in how our city is run. This cannot go ahead questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statem…
It appears Labour's anti-democratic leanings continue. Today, Minister Jim McMahon announced that the government is seeking to abolish the committee system that some councils, including Sheffield and Bristol, operate under, instead preferring the old leader and cabinet model
