Was pleased to see residents saying positive things about the Lewisham Shopping Centre redevelopment, despite some deliberately misleading information about the development being passed around. ladywell-live.org/2026/09/21…

🚨 WATCH: Green MP Ellie Chowns asks David Lammy if he agrees it's time for proportional representation Lammy: "During the local elections, a Green councillor described me as a coconut. Her party looked the other way... and rewarded the candidate with a council job" #PMQs

"If elected Mayor, I will take a 20% pay cut." That was Liam Shrivastava's promise to Lewisham residents. He's now taken a £4,832 pay rise and called a donation a pay cut. standard.co.uk/news/politics…

New Green Mayor hikes salary by almost £5,000 despite vowing to cut pay

Lewisham Mayor Liam Shrivastava vowed to take a 20% pay cut but instead hiked his wage by £4,832 and said 20% would be donated to ‘food justice initiatives’

Bernard Mani - October 7th denier. Green Party rosette. Still a member. Still campaigning. What does being ‘removed’ from the @TheGreenParty even mean?

Deputy leader of the Lewisham Greens Hau-Yu Tam ranting about “personal attacks” in the media like in “2015-2019”. Is she talking about Bernard Mani who was dropped when exposed how he ripped down balloons for hostages. And antisemitism in Labour. Greens didn’t learn a thing.

Hau Yu Tam has been completely ineffective as a Green councillor in Lewisham. She’s held no surgeries and done almost no casework in the last two years. But above all her views make her wholly unfit to be a councillor for #Deptford or indeed anywhere else

Still thinking of voting GREEN? Meet the councillor who called David Lammy a 'coconut' and the Argentinian who believes Britain should hand back the Falklands trib.al/3tt60iQ

Vote Green? Meet the councillor who called David Lammy a 'coconut'

Hau-Yu Tam, deputy leader of the Greens in Lewisham, south-east London, called Justice Secretary David Lammy and former Home Secretary Priti Patel 'coconuts' in a vile slur.

You’d think @LewishamGreens would be kicking @tamhauyu out of their party as we speak. Nope - they’re celebrating her. Any response, @ZackPolanski?

Dear @ZackPolanski, Cllr Hau-Yu Tam calls black people “coconuts”, and yet you’ve still endorsed her, praised her, invited her to your launch, and proudly took pictures with her. At what point do these “exceptions” become the rule?

.@ZackPolanski wants to talk about shared values. But let’s talk about shared leaflets, platforms, and campaign launches with Bernard Mani. What was it about all that bad press that suddenly changed his mind- when his views had been out in the open for years?

Bernard Mani was arrested in 2023 when he viciously ripped down balloons for child hostages during a provocative march that started in the heart of the Brighton Jewish community. He should be nowhere near power.

Apparently Bernard Mani the man I filmed in 2023 ripping down balloons for the child hostages in Gaza is now running as Green Party candidate. I am SHOCKED and DISGUSTED. Remove him now. @TheGreenParty @ZackPolanski

Has there been *any* disciplinary action taken by @ZackPolanski and @TheGreenParty against any of their members where serious allegations of antisemitsm have been raised? Or apology? I can't think of any?

Bernard Mani’s views are appalling - and he stands by them. Instead of condemning it, @ZackPolanski invited him to the Green Party campaign launch. That tells you everything you need to know.

The greens talk a good game on housing, but look into what they're actually doing and they've opposed new housing schemes up and down the country - including schemes that are 100% new council homes If you want action on housing - vote Labour ☑️🌹🏘️

Dear @ZackPolanski - how was this candidate ever allowed to stand? One simple question: Do you stand by his views?
Lewisham Labour@lewishamlabourApr 9
Replying to @ZackPolanski
@ZackPolanski - you’ve chosen this man to represent the Greens in Lewisham. He represents everything Lewisham isn’t. Do you condemn Bernard Mani's views, yes or no?
