Yet another example of Labour short changing Sheffield.

In case you missed it, the government is now overruling the outcome of local referendums in Bristol and Sheffield, imposing its opinion on how local councils should work, directly against the democratically expressed will of those communities themselves.
The government wants to impose a system of local government EVERYWHERE. But what of communities - like Sheffield & Bristol - that don't want this? #democracy - it would be a good idea @bristolgreen @SheffieldGreens @OvertonMarianne @LGA_Independent

Proud to have signed up to all the @lgbtiqa_greens pledges for the GPEx Elections

I am unequivocally in favour of Trans Rights, for those who haven't realised yet.
Today I am pleading with Green Party members to only rank candidates who are explicitly pro trans rights. Everyone else goes below RON. None of this โlegitimate concernsโ bullshit. Your solidarity shouldnโt waver just because a candidate is solid in other areas.

Thanks to Ed for taking the time to interview me (and the other GPEx candidates) Getting a hard working and transparent GPEx is vital for us to grow as a party, and its important that we're held to account, now and if we're elected

I've decided that after voting for @ZackPolanski, I will vote RON, rather than voting for A&E. Everything I have seen of them has reduced the little confidence I had in them, and yesterday's LBC interview, where Adrian has to be forced to say he liked Zack, was the last straw.
โณ Final week to sign up to the Green Party. ๐ณ๏ธ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.
Terminally shortsighted wrecking by @Heidi_Labour. Labour simply will not build the rail capacity we need, and lower rail fares. That's what we need, rail capacity, lower fares. And Labour can't be arsed. inews.co.uk/news/eastern-lโฆ
On August 1st, vote for a leader whoโll take on Reform. Challenge this Labour government. And take the fight to the power and wealth they seek to protect. Itโs time for bold leadership. #BackZack
Thank you to @euromove for inviting me to give the opening remarks to their panel discussion yesterday. It was a bit daunting to be introduced by @CarolineLucas, but Caroline and all the panelists made me feel so welcome, give their report a read and sign the petition
Today, we launch a major new report - and a national campaign. Weโre calling for the UK and EU to establish a new Energy, Climate and Environment Partnership. By working together, we can most effectively reduce both carbon emissions and energy bills, protect our health, andโฆ

Literally their entire pitch for leadership is Parliament is the most important thing and we're great at it. And all this display does is make me want to end my membership.
Green co-leader Adrian Ramsay whinges that Keir Starmer hasn't read the Green Party election manifesto while MPs laugh at him at #PMQs
7500 staff made redundant this year of a total UK electrification workforce of 10000, and those retained have been on the promise of wires continuing up the MML. This announcement is catastrophic.
