Every cloud has a silver lining… on the back of the betrayal (joining the Tories!) by 4 so-called ‘independent’ councillors, which ended the Independent and Green Group on #Braintree District Council, it’s excellent to see a fully #Green Group reappearing!

Farage is welcoming failed Tory politicians into Reform, with open arms. What happened to "Never trust a Tory", Nigel? #GreenParty #HopeIsHere #HopeNotHate
Green background political graphic featuring a large central portrait of Nigel Farage with a neutral expression. Surrounding him are four tilted screenshots of social media posts showing Farage shaking hands or posing with various Conservative politicians who have defected to Reform. Large white text at the bottom reads “NEVER TRUST A TORY.” Smaller text beneath explains that Farage previously wrote an article criticising the Conservatives, contrasting with the images of him welcoming or endorsing them. The Green Party logo appears in the lower-left corner, along with campaign promotion text at the bottom.
