Congratulations to
@sianberry
MP on a stunning election result to become the new MP for
#Brighton
#Pavilion
succeeding
@CarolineLucas
. Elected with 55% of the vote and a majority of over 14,000. Full result:
It's horrifying that fascist groups plan to come to our city this eve to stoke violence and spread hate. Greens are joining the counter-protest to make it clear that we stand with communities being attacked. Let's show that diversity and love can drive away hatred and fear.
"It demonstrates that Brighton Pavilion continues to believe in compassion, in justice and in a bigger future!" - Caroline Lucas' acceptance speech earlier this evening.
Thank you to everyone that canvassed, delivered, campaigned, and VOTED! ππ
"There has never been a more important time to keep Greens in Parliament, to keep real change on the table, to keep hope alive." π

Yet local conservatives think it's ok to spread racial hatred towards travellers on their leaflets.

Quite possibly the least inspiring debate ever. Two men barracking each other for an hour is not a debate.

Here is Hugh setting out why our city is so special and why it's so vital to keep our independent Green voice in Parliament.
Government cuts to public services have crippled the NHS resulting in 4.4 million waiting for treatment BEFORE the pandemic.
βοΈπΌSign to tell Liz Truss you want a strong NHS.
'She has all the attributes our city needs, to keep its unique, independent voice in Parliament and to demand action on the climate crisis at a time when it is only ever needed more.'
Steve Davis on why
@sianberry
would make a brilliant Green MP. π
Unlike Labour or the Tories, Greens aren't funded by billionaires expecting returns on their investment.
