2. How many of the #greens' expected 0-4 MPs could they get?
For a while they've had 1 MP, the exceedingly popular #CarolineLucas in #BrightonPavilion. But when she stepped down, could anyone else win it?
They have also been targeting #BristolCentral for a while, and then had some muted hopes about #NorthHerefordshire and #WaveneyValley.
The #ExitPoll had them winning 2 seats, which sounded like solid going given the circumstances.
But now the count has come in, they've won all four!
2/?
#GreenParty [#England &Wales] quadruples its number of Commons seats to four
Co-leaders #CarlaDenyer and #AdrianRamsay each win seat as #SiânBerry holds #BrightonPavilion

RT by @CarolineLucas: This is the most Mark Steel political endorsement I can imagine. Not least because it’s from @MrMarkSteel himself.
Thank you so, so much! #VoteGreen #BrightonPavilion

#Brighton set to make history again by re-electing #Green MP? Yes I think it probably is. #labour are the main rivals but have run an odd campaign in #BrightonPavilion, fielding a largely absent and aloof candidate backed up by a scaremongering campaign insisting that the Cons can win this seat (zero chance, zero evidence) with lots of equally misleading mailings from central office.
The #Green pitch is clear - another Starmer clone backbencher will make zero impact on the things that matter. Labour will not hold itself to account on #ClimateChange and the environment and Green MPs are the only ones able to do this.
Makes sense to me. #VoteGreen

If #TomGray of #Gomez fame wins the #BrightonPavilion seat for #Labour at the next general election in the #UK it will depress the hell of me as not only will the only #GreenParty seat in Parliament be gone it will sour my enjoyment of the otherwise excellent first two Gomez albums.
#inktober day 22. On the home straight. I hope I manage to finish it. More foreground detail #inktober2023 #wip #drawing #sketch #palace #fairytale #BrightonPavilion
#SuzyEddieIzzard #accuses #Tories of attempt to ‘#divideandconquer’ with ‘#culturewar’.
The #political #hopeful, #Labour’s #candidate for #BrightonPavilion at the next #generalelection, told #PoliticsJoe: “It’s the #Tories’ #culturewar. There is no culture war. It’s not there. As a #trans person, it’s not there.”

#inktober day8 more details from exterior of Brighton pavilion
#inktober day 6 short and sweet. I thought I’d get more done but these are both good enough
#inktober day 5 Victorian tiled patterns. #inktober2023 #mastoart #art #drawing #sketch #BrightonPavilion #pattern #creativetoots
#inktober day 4. Already starting to forget what day it is. Sketches of windows and archways taken from various sources. Love a bit of gothic revival. Also had forgotten how completely insane Brighton pavilion is
#inktober day 3 (already feels like forever) repeating pattern blocks and decorative edging from the interiors of Brighton pavilion
#inktober2023 #mastoart #drawing #pattern #sketch #interior #brighton #BrightonPavilion
I’m happy with what’s coming out and it’s not that I’m not enjoying it but it’s quite daunting to think about producing another 28 days of work
There be dragons in Brighton Pavilion. #brighton #dragons #brightonpavilion
Very excited about general election campaign in #BrightonPavilion
@sianberry is an amazing politician with just the kind of gutsy, no-nonsense approach that has made @CarolineLucas a national treasure
