We must hold the government to account even more so now they have this majority, so stay angry get organised, take to the streets and we @TheGreenParty will be there with you. for tomorrow and always, like the oceans we will rise. 3/3 #GeneralElection #MakeVotesMatter #VoteGreen

I know many of you are scared and hurting, I share in your grief and sense of loss. But now is not the time to give up, now is the time to be braver, stronger, and redouble our efforts to make this the compassionate and caring country, I know it can be. 2/3

Like many of you I am heart-broken to see the direction our country has voted for. Though that being said the progressive vote total is still well over half. This is the election that should be a watershed for us on the progressive left. Labour has to call for PR. 1/3

Half an hour to go folks! Thank you so much to everyone who's voted for me already. Please go out and #VoteGreenParty

Unless you live in the select few seats where tactical voting will work, go out and #VoteGreen today. Especially in #BristolWest!

As @TheGreenParty candidate for #Runnymede I pledge to protect women’s rights globally via @ActionAidUK's #PledgeForWomen: UK commitment to international aid, spending on poverty reduction, gender equality, sustainable devt, women’s rights & ending violence in the workplace.

Very honoured that Zoe is giving me her first ever vote! I hope others in the constituency have been inspired by our message of rejecting politics as usual, and voting for a future to be proud of. #VoteGreen #GE2019https://twitter.com/zoebarberr/status/1204730798013898753 …

I pledge to make young people’s mental health a priority if I am elected. All young people should get support for their mental health as soon as they need it. @YoungMindsUK #ActEarly

This is our planet and nations last chance. We need more Greens, we need a left wing government, and we need it now. The Lib dems, except in the few seats they are the best placed to beat the tories are not the answer. Please Vote Green or at least vote Left on December 12th.

If you're in a seat the torys can't win (Bristol West) then please back the Green candidate to hold the eventual government to their promises. Or in a seat like mine please vote with your heart, but our country and our planet can not survive more tory governance. 5/6

I implore the leadership of @UKLabour to embrace Proportional Representation and accept that we in the Greens are not your enemies. We approached to work with you in good faith, and I've no desire to see seats like Plymouth S&D go back to the torys. 4/6

The Lib Dems wreaked 5 years of misery on our country and at 2015, Labour were a soft centre left Party. We were the best option and still are, but while Labour have improved the Libs have not. 3/6

But I can still not in good conscience support the unite to remain pact. I would first and foremost ask you all to vote with your heart for the best remain Party, my own. If you have decided to go tactical then ignore unite to remain and vote to beat out the torys. 2/6

I've said before and I'll say it again that I really despise tactical voting, but if it is something you're considering doing then I understand it. Our voting system is archaic, the idea of a Tory government under Johnson is terrifying. I appreciate all of these reasons. 1/6
