A minor political earthquake shook #Kent this morning after the #GreenParty defied expectations to snatch victory at a crunch by-election.

The Greens’ decisive win in the #Cliftonville division of Kent County Council (#KCC) came after an intense two month campaign into which four of the main parties threw huge resources

For #Reform UK, it was the first by-election to be fought since their massive victory at KCC last year and was regarded as a “must win”

But they did not win.

They failed.

@Geri I'm over the moon - both that the Greens won, and even gladder Reform lost.

@Remittancegirl so are we !

If we can win in Thanet, we can win anywhere xx

@Geri This is true!

@Remittancegirl I am going to break section 12 of the Terrorism Act tomorrow 🤪

Will you still love me xx

@Geri I will not only still love you, I will cheer you on and chip in for your legal fees if needed!

@Geri @Remittancegirl

if your sign says

> I am supporting action to oppose the Palestine Genocide

presumably thats fine isn't it;
noone could reasonably object to a sentiment like that

@Geri

Hope it goes well

@benh as long as they as they are quick about it xx

@benh @Remittancegirl no I will do it properly like a brave woman

I oppose genocide
I support Palestine Action

Anything else is a semantic, faint-hearted cop out

I am not going to let them manhandle me, though. That's just undignified.

I will wall with handcuffs on, and my head held high

@Geri @Remittancegirl good luck @Geri stay safe! 👍🙂

@Sine_Nomine @Remittancegirl ty I am sure I shall be perfectly OK. I suspect I will get a fine somewhere down the line because of this stupid law, but you have to make a stand
