💚A net gain of 200 seats, 13 local councils had breakthroughs, and now we're the largest party in Bristol, East Suffolk, East Hertfordshire, Babergh, Lewes, Folkestone and Hythe, Stroud, Forest of Dean & Warwick. And in Mid Suffolk we're the first Green majority led council.💚

💚 Excited by all the Green wins this year? This is definitely a good time to consider joining the Green Party: 👇 🌳 join.greenparty.org.uk

🥳UKIP have lost ALL of their six remaining councillors. This means UKIP has been *completely* wiped out as an electoral force. As of today, there isn’t a single UKIP politician elected anywhere in the country.

BREAKTHROUGH. This is the first Green councillor ever elected to Southend-on-Sea. Breakthroughs are particularly exciting as there's a clear pattern when @TheGreenParty win one - lots more come in the years that follow. Huge congratulations to Richard for the trailblazing! 💚

LEIGH WARD: RESULT LONGSTAFF, Richard (GREEN) is duly elected with 1,042 votes. Turnout: 36.19% #LocalElections2023 #Southend Full results here: orlo.uk/4Gsim

GENUINELY SCREAMING AT THIS RESULT. @natalieben and I visited a few weeks ago and SO much energy for this campaign. Congrats new councillor Richard and the whole team - particularly fantastic organiser @VesseyMiller

✅ BREAKING: Green GAIN in Southend-on-Sea! 🏆 Massive congratulations to new @TheGreenParty Cllr Richard Longstaff and @SEEGreenParty for this breakthrough win 🎉

Here he is. Re-elected. Again. The idea that the Brexit Party is a ‘new’ party is a total fiction. It’s just the latest host body for Farage - the tapeworm of British politics.

So proud of my party and our SEVEN elected MEPs today. Thank you to all our members for such a fierce and clear campaign. 💚 that we got on page 1 of that BBC scorecard graphic. If you voted for us, thank you and please join us to get even more done! join.greenparty.org.uk

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Brexit Party has won even a single seat that wasn't previously held by Ukip. We're sending no more loons to Europe than we sent last time!
