Leafletting in a very drizzly Bristol after being super inspired watching our Zack completely outperform Laura Kuenssberg on her own turf this morning ! Well done Zack, it is worth the frizzy hair to get the message out there #hopenothate @zackpolanski.bsky.social @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social

Girl Guides have been a beacon of inclusion and a ray of hope that hatred of LGBT+ people is not really as widespread as it feels. Gender critical bullying of inclusive institutions by threat of litigation is cheap, harmful and utterly poisonous. Thinking of the parents & young people affected. 🏳️‍⚧️

I can highly recommend The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson for a nice dose of late 50s gothic horror. Perfect for Halloween reading . @christietime.bsky.social I’ve very much made my peace with Shirley now 😂

Oh that is interesting … imagine how much darker still it could have been if it had been Le Carré’s idea though instead of Ian Flemming ! So I went for The Bird’s Nest. I’m not sure if it’s typical holiday beach reading but it sounds awesome to me.

Expensive and unreliable train journeys are sadly the norm for many of my constituents - cancellations are disruptive for all of us, but especially disabled people who often have to plan their journeys very carefully. I raised the issue in a debate this morning.

The crisis in social care is clear for everyone to see. Patients, carers and staff are hurting now. We don't need to wait years for a report to confirm what we already know. The Government must act now. Here's what the Green Party would do to fix the social care crisis:
REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.
Fixing the social care crisis 
Elected Greens will push for:
- Investment of £20bn per year
- Free personal care to ensure dignity in old age and for disabled people
- Increased pay rates and a career structure for carers to rebuild the care workforce

Continuing the ban on puberty blockers is a worrying decision. The same medication continues to be used safely by young people for other reasons. By relying on the reason for prescription, is this ban simply discrimination against our #trans youth? 👇

Solidarity with our trans & non-binary siblings today. Wes Streeting has just made it so much harder to be a trans person. Puberty blockers are a small but vital part of care for some trans people. We should not let a culture war determine healthcare! #TransRightsAreHumanRights

I share concerns of experts at the Council of Europe that removing access to #PubertyBlockers except through clinical trials may breach “fundamental ethical principles governing research”, amounting to coercion and a breach of young people's human rights. I asked Wes Streeting about this today... 🧵
