More Labour mistruths: 💚 @BristolGreen cllrs never put in an objection to the stand and have worked closely with the club to improve plans and relations with the community. 👎 Your Labour candidate for Bishopston and Ashley Down apparently did though.

🌹 We're proud to have backed Bristol's football clubs' ambitions - approving both City and Rovers' expansion plans. 👎 In contrast, the Bristol Green Party have tried to block and delay their proposals. More below. 👇

Speaking to support the CMWG report, @GuyPoultney says: “Talking to people on the doorstep, the main reason people had for scrapping the Mayoral system was – things are getting worse and the council isn’t listening. Communities feel overruled by citywide strategies.” 1/3

🥀 Labour can't be bothered to invest in a Green future - they'd rather watch our planet burn ever hotter. ✊THIS is exactly why we need more Green MPs to replace Caroline Lucas...because Labour can't be trusted to keep their promises. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

Rachel Reeves waters down Labour £28bn green projects pledge

Rachel Reeves says she cannot be "reckless" with spending and will ramp up investment to reach the figure by 2027.
