A couple of months ago, Lewisham voted in it's first Green mayor and council. Feels like yesterday, and a lifetime ago! I've written up some thoughts on what it was like to get involved, do more and more organising, and for it to all culminate in becoming one of 40 Green councillors in the borough.

Reflecting on the grassroots campaign that turned Lewisham Green

It’s been a bit of a weird time this last few months. It started as a “better do something about how bleak the future’s looking, shall we go to a member’s meeting” bet…

Wrong take imo, we know people are pissed off with Labour, we have to give people a progressive alternative to Labour which is not Reform. And the phenomenon of a Green/Reform swing voter is real. The idea that Greens running splits the left vote is misguided

Cllr Heather Farnworth 💚 @heatherreally.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Exactly this basically, when Greens work hard, Labour is forced to also work hard, and residents get listened to

Before we unintentionally won by a landslide in Lewisham we were incredibly proud of the fact that we'd forced Labour out on the streets to listen and engage with people who's votes they'd taken for granted for much of the last 55 years. We shouldn't be heading back to that place anywhere.

The last thing we should be doing is giving up ground to Labour. If Andy Burnham is mean to be this amazing new figurehead for Labour (/doubt) make him work for it! Make him say why he's a better choice for the area than the Greens.

Today's ruling on the EHRC's interim guidance is a disappointing, confusing and mixed picture. A trans woman who is a customer in a café can use the women's toilets, but if she works there she might not be able to. Once again everyday life is being made a legal labyrinth for trans people.

So, at my place of work, there is not difference in toilet use between staff and students toilet use. But now trans students can use the correctly-gendered toilets, but not trans staff. Ridiculous!

Ladbrokes are very clear, Labour are now rank outsiders in the Gorton and Denton by-election. It’s between the Greens and the fascists. A Labour vote will let Reform in, a Labour vote is a Reform vote.

Greens - 1/3 (75%)
Reform UK - 3/1 (25%)
Labour - 10/1 (9%)

Cllr Heather Farnworth 💚 @heatherreally.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

It is, in a society that wasn't fucked though I think the recourse would be that everyone would be appalled and he'd lose his platform. I'm just not sure we should be arguing for the state or the law to get involved, because the state and the law arent friends to us and that precedent hurts us

No for sure not the same, I agree, but I raise the Palestine angle because it shows that governments can be willing to criminalise speech by progressives, which could easily conceivable include trans people. In this climate I dunno if I am get behind arresting people for speech (however vile)

He still is imo, he's just pointing out that this is a tactical mistake. We don't want the government to be the arbiter of what we can and can't say, because an even more right wing government could turn this sort of thing back on us. We're seeing that already with Palestine protesters now

We need to big this up, a V important legal judgement; if it had gone against us it would have been all over the oligarch/transphobic media as a "Landmark" case. I suspect it may be very useful in preventing Universities from silencing trans people under the pretext of pandering to the OfS.

Look at how far the UK has tumbled, we're featuring alongside DRC, Syria, Haiti, etc. in the Lemkin Institute's Genocide News podcast. Those are some very troubled parts of the world. I don't have to heart to listen to the episode, but this synopsis is shocking to see in black and white

A LinkedIn post by Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, which reads:
Tune in for a new episode of our podcast Genocide News Now to stay up to date with conflict around the world. This month's episode features developments in Balochistan, Haiti, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the UK, and Syria.

I'm hearing anecdotal reports of trans people being turned away from hospital because there are no "private rooms" and they are refusing to put them in single sex wards. If this happens to you (physical health) Ask for a senior nurse, explain things to them Take all their names Cont.
