yes, but I can't find many people, here....
Twitter and Bluesky are both pretty quiet, which is a shame. Twitter was once really useful and arguably, democratic.

Every day I am proud of my ward mate Sibusiso and my @greenparty.org.uk colleagues across the country.
Together and shoulder to shoulder with our residents, we stand up to fascism and say No, not on our watch, not in our city.

Banks would probably have benefitted from being cancelled. Reform would have played to this, and alleged a conspiracy. I wanted to see how much Banks knows about Bristol public transport πŸ˜‚ and why he spends so much time with Trump. The chair repeatedly made his red card warning of rule breaking.

He probably knows nothing about public transport.

Arron Banks calls for Muslim immigration ban and 'levelling' of mosques The Bristol businessman who 'bankrolled Brexit' was likened to the National Front - by his own supporters

@tristancorkpost.bsky.social has written at length about Arron Banks racism. The things he is calling for (mass deportations, cultural genocide) are literally classed as crimes against humanity under the Geneva Convention. I'd ask if you'd allow a nazi candidate to speak, but you've already answered

new #WesternHarbour slides added yesterday. How is bringing all the buses to a two-way north end of #AvonCrescent a good thing. This new road will demolish someone's home and drive a thick disconnecting wedge between the rich cluster of heritage buildings. Does
@underfallyard support this?

Bristol Greens ask for residents' views as they pledge to improve recycling across the city β€œWe also promised to be more collaborative and transparent in our decision making.”

πŸ‘‚ Greens WILL listen to the results of the consultation

πŸ“‰ Falling recycling rate must improve to meet gov targets and and save money

❓ Larger recycling containers, more consistent services in shared dwellings, soft plastic recycling?
