Fire engines outside Baynton House tonight Spoke to a fireman and it seemed to be a false alarm (thank goodness) but he raised that they struggled to get in due to people parking illegally including on the pavement. In a serious fire they would have needed bigger fire engines...

Fossil fuel giants and their billionaire backers are boiling Britain. We need action to reduce emissions - but we also need emergency safety measures too. Cool spaces in every community and a maximum working temperature. It's time for Government to step in.
Important update about #bins and #bincollections this week from #Bristol Waste: "Due to the red weather warning for extreme heat in the region (danger to life), our collections service will be starting from 4am on Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 June 2026 and stopping when it is no longer safe to work
We can't afford another lost decade. It's time to turn the page.
Got a bit emotional watching this 🥹 public service frontline workers deal with some of society's most difficult situations and they deserve security, protection, and decent pay #weshowup #undc2026
#WeShowUp ⚽ The World Cup is about big players showing up in big moments when it matters most. But as public service workers we show up in those moments every day.

Got to speak yesterday at @unison.org.uk national delegates conference about the Employment Rights Act, what it is missing out, and why we can't let Labour take the trade union movement for granted! ✊️ (Sound on as subtitles are unreliable 😅 ) #Unison #UNDC2026 #tradeunions #EmploymentRightsAct
Very much enjoyed a first day at Unison National Delegates Conference! Lots of inspiring speakers, and encouraging to hear so many anti-racism and anti-sexism speeches as we discuss how to resist the far right. Looking forward to more tomorrow & meeting more comrades 😊✊️ #undc2026 #solidarity #unison

Honoured to attend a really powerful event this week celebrating 20 years of Bristol Refugee Rights - which feels extra important at the moment, in this time period when some are attempting to scapegoat and blame all refugees and asylum seekers. #refugeeswelcome #bristol #refugees
Resident of Lawrence Hill? Our next councillor surgery is TOMORROW (Tuesday 2nd June), 12-1pm at Junction 3 Library. We're here to try and help with anything council related. No need to book, just turn up! First come first served. #Bristol #LawrenceHill
Happy Eid al-Adha from the Green Party to all who celebrate.
An example of a small (but still important!) victory... 👀 This spot on Chaplin St used to attract huge amounts of flytipping. We were able to disrupt this a bit by getting funding for a BikeNest and removing the bin that was attracting it! 🙌 #Bristol #flytipping #fixmystreet #bikenest
Went to see the Empty Shirts exhibition yesterday on College Green - 1000 shirts designed by young people across Bristol, talking about issues like knife crime, transphobia, & domestic abuse. Last chance to catch it today 10 til 4 - definitely recommend, v moving. #Bristol #youngpeople #knifecrime
This is TOMORROW at Easton Family Centre (near the leisure centre) - a free film screening of the People's Emergency Briefing. It looks really interesting (I have got planning committee at the same time or would definitely be there!) #Bristol #climatecrisis #nationalemergencybriefing
Pleased to get to pop along to the action held today by @thejuryalliance.bsky.social outside Bristol Crown Court. The right to trial by jury is an essential part of the checks and balances in our legal system. And the changes proposed, would likely actually cost more! #Bristol #defendourjuries
So stoked to have got to nominate my fellow Green councillor Yassin to be the next Lord Mayor of Bristol - the first from a Somali background! Feels even more important in the current political climate #refugeeswelcome 💚 #Bristol
The council is developing a new 10 year arts and culture strategy for #Bristol! 💃 As part of this, the council wants input from people and organisations in the Bristol culture scene to shape the strategy🎵 See the link for more deets, closing date is 10th July! 🎥 www.bristol.gov.uk/council/poli...

We had a record breaking year for building affordable homes in Bristol in 2025, and many more are on the way. I’m so proud of my colleagues on Green-led Bristol City Council. Having a Green in the room makes a difference. @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social 💚🏡
'Having a Green in the room makes a difference' Greens build social housing, stand up to developers and push for affordable homes. Vote Green this Thursday. 🗳️✅
📈 230,000 Green Party members and counting. 💚 People are rejecting hate and division and opting for real hope and real change. 🗳️ And that change starts by voting Green before 10pm today!
Concerned about anti social behaviour around Stapleton Road? Our next regular community meeting is TOMORROW (Thursday) where we talk about every sort of issue and plans to improve things! This month with a focus on support for young people. All welcome, tell your neighbours! #Bristol
Thrilled to speak at the launch of this charter last night as a @unison.org.uk activist, talking about the organising my own branch is doing against our employer's attempt at a cruel & disproportionate restructure! Workers make the world go round. We deserve better. There is power in a union! ✊️
Workers deserve better. Higher pay. Strong rights. Collective power. This is what the Green Party Workers’ Charter is about - building an economy that works for people, not the wealthy few.
