The campaign has been so busy - recorded on Saturday and only posting now!

First day of campaigning in the Hale by-election was a great success 💚 But we need to keep this going 💪🏻

If you can spare a few pounds to help pay for campaign materials this would be much appreciated!

The phrase "silence is complicity" is used in relation to a lot of topics. Trans rights is no different.

Whatever is going on in my own political life, I'll always want to see great Greens elected. And there's none better than Bridget Green. Absolute model of a community champion. Let's get her elected in 2026, and give Bowdon their first Green councillor @traffordgreenparty.bsky.social.

Latest edition of Green News in Bowdon, showcasing all the great work that Bridget Green is doing for local residents.

I respect that point of view. It's not the point of view I have, but one thing we agree on is that people disagree!

Know those days all too well! Hope that today is a less stressful one.

But if that's the journey you're on, perhaps you're not yet the right person to be in the leadership team of a party that is pro-trans? Leadership is, in part, about role modelling behaviours. A pro-trans party should have leaders role modelling pro-trans behaviours, in my opinion.

Think simultaneously agree and disagree on this. I disagree that neutrality makes some kind of metaphorical wall - for me, the wall is an active thing, not passive. I do agree that there needs to be tolerance because agreement on all topics is nigh-on impossible, and also people's views do change.

Important point for me is that people who stay neutral and aren't vehemently anti-racist, anti-misogynistic etc. are enabling the people who are the perpetrators of this hate. The same principle to neutrality being enabling applies here, doesn't it?

The elite in this country are trying to convince you that people seeking asylum are to blame for the epidemic of gender based violence we live in. Don't let them.
