🆕 5 years ago, Council transport policy noted
#Bristol
needed a parking strategy. Under Mayor Rees and Labour, this didn't happen.
This week, the transport policy committee will start work towards a “modern and holistic parking and kerbside strategy”💥
In case you missed it - Hugh Grant (aka
@HackedOffHugh
) has endorsed
@carla_denyer
for Bristol Central!
He said, “It’s so refreshing to see a politician with integrity, who puts the public first.” 💚

“During the debate, the Green Party’s co-leader
@carla_denyer
criticised the role of privatisation in the health service and made the case for a publicly owned NHS.”

“It’s becoming obvious that we are stuck in a never-ending loop of Labour and the Conservatives taking it in turns to blame each other for ‘crashing the economy’ and ‘spending all the money’,” says
@carla_denyer
.
We often say ‘If you want green, vote Green’. This is why.
We’re very pleased to be topping Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth's ranking of parties’ green policies, with a score of 39/40 🤩
“It is only the Greens who are offering a cast-iron guarantee to push back against the creeping privatisation of the NHS and rebuild it, so it is fit for the future,” says
@carla_denyer
, as she pledges a £22 billion cash boost for hospitals.
It’s being noticed in the press this election just how talented a team our Green co-leaders
@carla_denyer
and
@AdrianRamsay
are.
The Tories are toast and Labour are going to govern with a supermajority. We need strong Green voices in Parliament.
General Election 2024 is an opportunity for
#Bristol
to consolidate its green reputation by electing an MP who is resolutely focused on
#ClimateAction
… and unambiguous on the matter of genocide in
#Gaza
.
@carla_denyer
is that candidate.
“We need more Green MPs in parliament to force the incoming Labour government to be bolder and more ambitious,” comments
@carla_denyer
following today’s poll.
“One more or less Labour MP won’t make that difference. Voting Green will.”
Does Bristol Central deserve
👎A whipped Labour MP, acting as a mouthpiece for Starmer's red conservatism
💚
@Carla_Denyer
, a Green MP with a bold, progressive vision for Bristol, free to stand up for what this city believes
We know what we think...
With

today we’re challenging him to commit to 3 things to prove he’s serious about giving our city the future it deserves!
- Reverse plans for new nuclear power
- Rule out regional & national airport expansion
- Campaign for Remain

Owen Jones has quit Labour and is encouraging his followers to back
@_we_deserve_
“to support Green and left-wing independent candidates in key seats such as Carla Denyer in Bristol Central”.
There is an alternative to Starmer's Labour, and in
#Bristol
it's

💚
I just quit Labour after 24 years.
We deserve better than the race to the bottom between Labour and the Tories.
Labour want you to think there's no alternative. But there is.

In light of concerns about far right disturbances in Bristol today, Green councillors have been in touch with mosques and relevant businesses and communities to support and help with security concerns. 1/2
If you want to vote tactically in Bristol Central, vote Green for Carla Denyer! 💚
As Tactical Vote explains, because "there is no risk of a Tory win, we are calling for a vote for the Greens here."
Big news from Ashley ward, where we have GREEN HOLDS AND WINS! All three councillors in Ashley are now Green!
Congratulations to newly-elected councillors Izzy Russell...
We're at around the midway point of today's count, and Bristol Green Party currently has 14 councillors, including 9 gains. Before Thursday's election we had 11.

🤔 But weren't Labour forced to row back on their £28bn climate commitment because of the state of the economy?
💚 No! There is plenty of money in the economy to pay for this (and more -
@thegreenparty
would invest double). It's a question of political priorities

@carla_denyer
speaks to
@ELLEUK
:
“I think people are tired of the two old parties and their ways of doing things. They really like the Green Party's fresh approach.”
On Saturday, we threw a huge party and announced all five of the Green Party parliamentary candidates for
#Bristol
🎉
These five candidates represent the people of Bristol. They're experienced, diverse, and will use their platform to champion the values of this city 🧵 1/7
“Flashes of Labour red that may once have adorned the windows in previous general elections are notably absent. In their place are badges of green, displayed with pride.”
“We will take nothing for granted, but this prediction that
#Bristol
will have its first Green Party MP after the next general election mirrors what we are sensing on the ground,” says
@carla_denyer
after yesterday's huge Electoral Calculus news.
“The poll, commissioned by Channel 4, predicts that
@carla_denyer
, the Green Party's MP candidate for Bristol Central ... is set to receive a substantial 46.3 per cent of the vote share, resulting in a Green majority of nearly 4,000 votes.”
Marvin Rees has been re-elected.
@sandyhruthven
got slightly more 2nd preference votes, but not enough to win.
Bravo Sandy on a superb campaign, and thank you to everybody who voted for him - with many voting Green for the first time 👏
“Green Party MP Sian Berry said: “Greens would scrap the cap immediately and we are making plans to work through every means we can and with anyone we can cross party to push ministers to scrap this cruel policy.””
Our electoral system is warped - in only a small number of seats people can vote for what they actually want, without risking more poverty, wreckage, division, greed & war with the tories.
Bristol Central is one of those seats & the candidate
@carla_denyer
is outstanding.
VOTE.
Here are the first round results for the Bristol mayoral election, and Green Party candidate
@sandyhruthven
is through to the run off! He'll be up against Marvin Rees of Labour.
In case you missed it overnight 😎
@PatDBMcAllister
has won the Hotwells & Harbourside by-election, becoming our 25th councillor and making the Green Party the biggest group on Bristol City Council!
Great to see Green PosterBoards have gone up in Bristol North West.
Send pictures if spot any!
First hustings tonight and sadly Darren has pulled out by National Labour Party instructions.
I fear it’s what’s to come as he will have to toe the party line in Kier’s Cabinet.
Our double win in Lawrence Hill was the last declaration of the day.
We remain Bristol's biggest party, and we're now 34 councillors strong 💚
