Mothin Ali - apology and Correction
•
On 18 July 2024, I published a post on my X account in which I stated that Mr Mothin Ali, an elected official and Deputy Leader of the Green Party, was involved in the Harehills riots of July 2024 in which people attacked the police.
That statement was incorrect. In fact, Mr Ali was asked by the police to use his position of trust in the community to help bring about peace on the streets. Mr Ali attended the scene for that purpose alone. He was not involved in the disorder or violence in any way, and on the contrary he was one of the principal reasons of bringing an end to the disorder. I offer my sincere apologies to Mr Ali for my post, the harm I caused, and I have agreed to pay him compensation to vindicate his reputation.

Considering your late mother couldn't help herself but harass a trans person, do you not consider that bigotry? Is harassing trans people on a mixed-sex ward the new policy of the labour party?
It seems that you think trans people shouldn't be receiving care at all.

Sheffield will not be dictated to by London. We stand firm. We stand united. We stand for justice, equality & human rights for ALL. 💚🇵🇸 Read Green Group Leader Cllr @angelaargenzio.bsky.social's open letter 👇 sheffieldgreenparty.org.uk/2026/10/16/s...

LETTER FROM CLLR ANGELA ARGENZIO, LEADER OF SHEFFIELD GREEN GROUP IN RESPONSE TO CLLR FRAN BELBIN, LEADER OF THE LABOUR GROUP REGARDING THE JOINT ADMINISTRATION OF SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL

16th October 2026

Open letter from Cllr Angela Argenzio, Leader of Sheffield Green Group in response to Cllr Fran Belbin, Leader of the Labour Group regarding the Joint Administration of Sheffield City Council

Dear Fran,

Thank you for your letter and your interest in our recent Party Conference.

As you will know from our working relationship, I am committed to upholding human rights for everyone and do not tolerate any form of racism.

We have a shared commitment to ensuring that Sheffield is a diverse, welcoming and tolerant place. I am confident that the experience you have had working with me and my colleagues demonstrates our commitment to this and to our obligations under the Equality Act.

You know that the Green Councillors are not antisemitic. Conflating Zionism with Judaism is itself antisemitic. We stand with all Jewish residents of Sheffield: we always have and always will.

We will continue to oppose genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and illegal occupation wherever they occur, and we will continue to speak out against violations of international law and human rights.

You will appreciate the Green Party also has some reservations about working with Labour. When we decided to work together in Sheffield, we knew there were issues upon which we profoundly disagreed, for example your Party's position on the Israeli Government's genocidal actions in Gaza and the rights to peaceful protest. We decided that for the good of Sheffield we would work together on issues where we agreed, acting as responsible local politicians to take the challenging decisions needed for the city.

We are very clear that we are in favour of solving problems. Much as I appreciate that you and other Labour Leaders have been directed by your national Party Leader, we have to do what is best for Sheffield and set aside our political differences.

Both you and I know the consequences of destabilising Sheffield City Council: for our city, for our employees and our plans for taking the city forward. Our responsibility goes beyond the direction you are receiving from London. If Labour chooses to destabilise Sheffield City Council over this, Labour owns the consequences.

I am happy to meet with you to discuss how we move forward.

Yours sincerely,
Cllr Angela Argenzio
Leader of the Green Group

There are currently a rash of Claude-coded firmwares for the m-vave fm-1 synth, and while there is no ethical use of genAI, the firmware converts a £50 synth into a highly capable groovebox that would otherwise cost a lot more than that. Definitely feels different.
