🧵 You've heard the one sided attack, but the right wing rags or the wreckers working internally don't get the final say. It's time to speak out.
🧵 Since I announced that I was standing to become Deputy Leader of the Green Party, I have been subjected to a sustained series of allegations, complaints, leaks and personal attacks. Some have been explicitly racist and Islamophobic.

It didn't stop when I was elected.
I have tried not to respond to every allegation. I've tried to be patient, trust the proper processes and let the evidence speak for itself.
But there comes a point when you have to look at the pattern.
In early August, allegations were made about the Special Responsibility Allowance allocated to me by the Leeds Green Group.
The Head of Democratic Services looked at it. The Office of the City Solicitor looked at it. Both confirmed that the Green Group had acted properly.
The allegations continued.
Now Leeds City Council's Internal Audit team has completed a further review. We have received confirmation that:
"The payment for the Special Responsibility Allowance (Opposition Group Officer Holder) has been made by the council in accordance with normal practice, and that the council has discharged its role appropriately."

Yesterday under a very thin veil, Reform councillors brought a motion to council to attack another marginalised community. Gypsy, Roma and the Travelling community already face discrimination at all levels of society. Instead of demonising them we need solutions.

They say you can judge a man by the company he keeps. I say that's a polite euphemism and and that Farage and his mates are a bunch of fascists who hold views most Brits find deplorable. We just need to keep shining a light on them and exposing them for what they are.

A green background with a quote that reads: “The sharp rise in Prevent referrals, including for white children over far-right concerns, should alarm us all. 

Children who are vulnerable need teachers, youth workers, social workers and mental health support, not a counter-terrorism response.

Can Burnham say that war crimes, let alone genocide, has occurred in Gaza? Being clear on this is the most basic first step. Without this, Labour hasn't even started its journey to rectifying for years of complicity and participation in this genocide.
Green Party deputy leader Mothin Ali said "If you asked Andy Burnham whether Russia has committed war crimes in Ukraine, he'd say yes. But when it comes to Gaza, he hides behind the international courts because admitting that the British government knows war crimes are being committed would trigger a legal duty to immediately halt arms sales."
