Newcastle City Council@NewcastleCC
We are so proud of our city 🖤 There was a lot of concern across the city that we would experience disorder and violence tonight. Instead we saw a Newcastle united by love, hope and pride in our city. This is our City. A City of Sanctuary 🤝 chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…

@GreenJennyJones Jenny they are repeating the narrative from Laurence Fox and friends that all the world's ills are because of liberal women!! So laughable! But horrendous that it is being repeated so easily on a bus! Scary times.
English
Sitting next to two women on a bus ...
In precis, they are saying that all the world's problems started with women wanting to be equal.
I could not believe my ears.
Plus they are moaning about *everything*.
Awful lives they must live ...

The wonderful Gateshead Green Party campaigning in Gateshead for the Bridges by-election on 12 September. We came such a close second to Labour in May and feel incredibly hopeful while we talk to the amazing residents in Bridges.
This is the real North East!
Cllr Nick Hartley - Green Party@NickHartley
After a restless night processing the scenes we saw in Sunderland, it’s been good to be out with Gateshead Green Party this morning. They have a by-election on September 12th and their campaigner @Rachel_M_Cabral has a real chance of becoming Gateshead’s first elected Green.

So have I got this right? A Labour government last week decided not to feed kids and this week not to keep pensioners warm.
They say they need to make tough decisions. Well can't they toughen up and approach the rich about paying a modest wealth tax?

Newly elected Green MP Dr Ellie Chowns is incredibly impressive. Here talking about how ridiculously archaic are the House of Commons traditions and practices. She is just so.... Sensible.
Farrukh@implausibleblog
Must watch on House of Commons reform @EllieChowns Dr Ellie Chowns, "As a newly elected member, I'd like to offer observations on three elements on how this house operates: sitting, speaking and voting" ➡️ Sitting - Chamber is too small - In Council and in European parliament we had own seat, desk, plug in devices - Extraordinary there aren't enough seats for every MP There is a practice of Christian prayers, as a daughter of preachers I am familiar with this. But in this day and age where we are a mix of all faiths and none, it might be time to represent a range of faiths ➡️ Speaking - If we have more time limits more MPs would be incentivised to speak - Trying to get a slot, bobbing up and down, last week I did for five solid hours without getting attention of the speaker - This is not good for a democracy - Find a better way of allocating speaking time - The culture in this house is everything from excessive deference to braying, we need to clean to clean up politics, we are here to debate in as positive a spirit as possible ➡️ Voting - It's extraordinary we do not have electronic voting - While I've been here I've participated in 5 votes, that's taken 1.25 quarter - If you add up all the votes thats 1.5 months of MPs time, totally unproductive - If we got rid of the voting lobbies we could double the physical size of the chamber (everyone could then have a seat) "My final point, if we want to be a truly modern house of commons: proportional representation"

@NickHartley @GreensNorthEast @TheGreenParty So so sad to not be there. Looked like fantastic fun. And wonderful to celebrate!
English
A really positive, lively atmosphere at #NorthernPride today.
Great to join with @GreensNorthEast and to meet with people across the region.
@TheGreenParty stands for an inclusive society. The safer it can be for us all to express ourselves, the more we can achieve. #Pride

@danhollandnews @samuelevolpe I have recently stood for Parliament for the Green Party in Gateshead Central and Whickham.There is a 20 year life expectancy gap between Whickham and Teams, three miles away in that same constituency And in Teams your last 10 years are more likely to be in poor health. Shocking
English
Important story here from @samuelevolpe. Raising living standards and life expectancy one of the big challenges for the new government.
The Journal@TheJournalNews
One Newcastle mum said it was "staggering" that some areas of the North East see a life expectancy 16 years lower than elsewhere in England. #Echobox=1721199664" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">chroniclelive.co.uk/news/health/pa…

@sianberry Yes much less combative and even consensual than normal and I loved seeing you nodding your head while George Freeman was saying something sensible about building plans. It was so much more enjoyable and grown up. (Although Fiona Bruce spoke over you more than the others)

Today’s Question Time felt different, more serious, and more informative. The audience were a big part of that, as well as an interesting panel. Hope we see many more hours like this next series. There a real place in democracy for this kind of public debate. #BBCQT
BBC Question Time@bbcquestiontime
“There are also many people in prison for crimes that are driven by poverty, by austerity, by not being invested in by the whole of society” The Green Party’s Sian Berry says more government spending on alternatives to prison would help alleviate full prisons #bbcqt
English
@sianberry Go Sian!! You will be amazing. But one question - will you have your GORGEOUS trainers on under the table!! ?
English
Looking forward to this!
BBC Question Time@bbcquestiontime
For the final episode of Question Time tomorrow, Fiona will be joined by Peter Kyle, George Freeman, Sian Berry and Camilla Cavendish Join us and an audience from Colchester live on @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer at the earlier time of 7.30pm #bbcqt

This fills me with absolute JOY! How amazing are our FOUR MPs?
They personify integrity, conscientiousness, humility AND they have such style!

I took the opportunity to make a speech last week after gaining an historic 8% share of the vote for the Greens in Gateshead. Thank you to everyone who gave us your faith and your vote and be assured we continue to advocate and support you where we can.

@MarkFergusonMP Good luck Mark! Of course I am very jealous!

I’ve been to Westminster many times before. But I don’t think it’s ever looked as good as this.
Let’s get to to work
English
This is so impressive!! Don't you just feel that we, the Green Party, are on the right side of everything!!! Our priorities are just so cool!!!

The Green Party has laid down the first 10 steps the new Labour government must take in their first 100 days to show they’re serious about changing Britain ⤵️ What do you want to see them do first?
