Cllr Laura Manston
@GreenLManston
Social and environmental justice, human and animal rights and world peace. Is that too much to ask?
A step in the right direction. The UK and Belarus are the only countries in Europe that still use #FPTP for general elections. #proportionalrepresentationnow
WE DID IT!!! The government has just announced that it´s scrapping FPTP for mayoral elections. In May, this absurd system resulted in some Mayors being elected on as little as 25% of the vote. This is a victory of communities around the country. But it's just the beginning...
A massive thank you on behalf of all local government and particularly us at the LGA, to Cllr Marianne Overton MBE @OvertonMarianne who, after 14 years, is stepping down as the leader of the LGA Independent Group.

David Lammy is right to call out the horrific murder of starving children but he took long enough to do so. The children murdered at the start of the genocide were just as innocent as the ones murdered today.
There's a conversation to be had about rapists. And there's a conversation to be had about refugees. The two conversations should not be conflated.

Finally, Unite is coming round to the fact that Labour is no longer the party of working people. @TheGreenParty is the only party that is truly on the side of working people and has a policy to prove it. #TaxTheRich!
🚨 BREAKING. THIS IS BIG! 🚨 Unite conference votes overwhelmingly to re-examine relationship with @UKLabour and suspend @AngelaRayner from Unite membership over Birmingham bins dispute. More to follow...

All four Green MPs voted against this cruel mistake of a Bill. To those worried about what this result means, we will continue to vote against it, and stand against any proposals that seek to save money by impoverishing those already struggling to get by. Solidarity always 💚
The use of the Terrorism Act to proscribe Palestine Action is disproportionate and sets a dangerous precedent.
Autistic, trans children targeted by Reform.Rarely have I been so disgusted.
🔥Another victory for #commonsenseinKent 🔥my brilliant cabinet member Cllr Paul Webb has just got this trans material REMOVED from the children’s sections of all Kent’s libraries. Telling children they’re in the ‘wrong body’ is wrong and simply unacceptable.
🎉 Absolutely amazing win for the Green Party in London tonight. 💚 That's our third new Green Party councillor in 48 hours! 🙌🏼 Change is happening. Join.greenparty.org.uk
