TobyAttended a great event at the weekend.
A fireside style chat on the theme of Strength in Solidarity, as part of #InternationalWomensDay
Some excellent, and important discussions.
For years I’ve voted based on “not who I really want, but they stand a chance against someone I think would be worse”.
I still think that is a sensible way to approach things, but I have to say I’m super thankful that the Green Party are becoming the clear choice, even if you don’t agree with everything they have to say.
Politics is a bus, not a taxi, pick the one that gets you closest to the world you want.
If you’re about Belfast next Saturday there is a free talk happening for International Women’s Day
7th March: 14:00 - 4pm

TobyJust met the chair of the East Belfast @greenpartyni for a coffee and a chat.
Lovely guy, lovely party! Looking forward to getting involved in some small way 💚
Just became a member of @greenpartyni, long overdue, but they are the party who continually speak sense.
Green Party NIA dog died from a panic-induced stroke after fireworks went off near its home.
Cllr Anthony Flynn says what every decent person knows - our fireworks laws are broken. Twenty-year-old rules aren’t protecting pets, wildlife or people.
It’s time for tighter controls, clear limits and stronger enforcement. Fireworks should never come at the cost of animal welfare or community safety.
Let’s make this Halloween kinder for every creature - because caring for animals is part of caring for our community.

Belfast city centre is at a crossroads. Will community need beat developer greed? We say yes! Time for overdose prevention, safer streets, and real public transport - not empty promises or empty buildings. A greener, fairer Belfast starts now. #BelfastCityCentre #GreenPartyNI
Mental health thrives when people, communities and nature are cared for.
Greens believe wellbeing isn’t a luxury - it’s the foundation of a fair and healthy society. 💚
Their promises ring hollow while hate crime rises and minority communities and women remain unprotected. One of Judge Marrinan’s recommendations was making misogyny a crime - yet women and minorities still feel less safe.”
