Thank you Helen! I’ve been so welcomed by so many people! It’s really lovely to see so many nice people on the internet (especially for a change! 🙈) 💚

Thank you Chrissetti! It’s great to be part of such a welcoming Party, I swear no other Party does welcomes as lovely as the Greens 😁💚

I think the hard work’s definitely paid of, you all deserve to be proud of yourself and your work! 💖 especially as the world always needs safe spaces for us queer people 💚

Thank you! It definitely feels like home already, especially with how many warm welcomes I’ve received! It’s definitely appreciated! 💚

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Thank you! I’m so glad I joined too! It’s safe to say I’m already proud to be a Green Party member, especially from having such a warm welcome! 💚

Thank you Owain! Glad to be here! It’s great to see so many fellow Greens on here (though no surprise as they’re closing in on 100,000 members! 😱😁)

Thanks Adrian! I’ll be sure to spread the word of the Greens! (Not ashamed if I become the annoying family member that tries to recruit other family members 😂)

I totally agree! Especially about having hope, I remember seeing Zack’s political promo video about refugees (just before he became the Green Party leader) and it was like a breath of fresh air! I think he and the Greens could do a world of good 💚

I saw this clip on my Tik Tok a few days ago too, it’s massively upsetting/frustrating, I hope Zelah goes onto winning the show and showing this Caroline who’s boss! I also hope Zelah knows how loved he is and how the majority of viewers support him 💖 (p.s I signed the petition 🙈)

Exactly! Exactly! Exactly! And I was the same with ‘Your Party’ but the fact some of their members are transphobes was just a massive turn off, it’s a shame really as I feel like they could have done a lot better

Thank you Mícheál! It’s great to be here! I already feel so welcome and definitely know these Greens are my kind of people 🤩💚

Thank you Talis! I’m glad to be Green! 😁💚 I couldn’t help but join the Party after seeing Zack’s appearance on Question Time, I hope they get him on there more often honestly (especially to spread that hope!)

Thank you! 💚 and thank you and the Greens for being the hope the UK needs right now, you can count on me to spread the word and get more greens!

I’m a few days late but seeing @zackpolanski.bsky.social on this week’s Question Time gave me more hope for politics and people in the UK. So much so that I’m now a member of the Green Party! (This is also the first time I’ve become a member for a political party!) it’s safe to say I’ve been swayed!

Good news Kazzie! She’s been evicted! I’m so relieved honestly, I just hope she doesn’t get any more air time anywhere 😳 xxx

I’m already on it, my friend (who was also bullied by her) tweeted that they’ve voted her, I just hope all the old fan base we were a part of do the same honestly 😰

Jess Short @shorttics.bsky.social · 13d

That’s one way to describe her I guess…despite the fact I believe she’s one of the reasons my mental health took a huge decline in 2016-2017 😳
