The media are struggling with the idea of internal democracy in the Green Party. I had people who support Zack ask me to run because they know there has to be a contest for a healthy democracy! But the media seems to think that a healthy democratic debate represents some sort of crisis.

Thanks to Sheffield's Green Bonds, more schools are getting rooftop solar panels—meaning cheaper bills and lower emissions. This is the difference Green policy makes in Walkley and across the city: more money for kids' education, more protection for our planet. 🌞💚 Video: @alexidimond.bsky.social

Reform wants to decide who deserves a home based on where they were born. The answer to the housing crisis is more council homes and affordable rents, not division.
