@scotnational.bsky.social yesterday. Burnham must put a stop to UK complicity in Israel's genocide in Palestine and the West Bank.

Front page of The National newspaper dated Saturday, June 27, 2026. The top section features a headline on a blue background: "Forbes shares stage with right-wing influencers and Reform MPs at ‘anti-woke’ conference," accompanied by a photo of Kate Forbes in a red blazer.

The main headline reads in large, bold black text: "BURNHAM ‘MUST END THE UK’S COMPLICITY IN GENOCIDE’." Below it, a subheadline reads: "Mackay calls for ‘full and watertight’ arms embargo and no political and military support for Israeli government." This section features photos of a blonde woman (Mackay) on the bottom left and a man with glasses and a black jacket (Burnham) on the right.

The bottom banner is red with two smaller headlines: "Scotland fan goes viral after shouting ‘free Palestine’ at Israel flag at the World Cup" and "Palestine campaigner wins appeal against ‘hate crime’ convictions over clash with pro-Israel activist."

Six years ago today, #GeorgeFloyd was murdered in Minneapolis. A white police officer knelt on his neck for 9 minutes 29 seconds as he lay handcuffed and helpless. His name is a global rallying call against racial injustice and police brutality. Rest in honour, George Floyd.🖤 #BlackLivesMatter

A monochrome drawing of George Floyd against a green background. A jagged speech box contains the words, "Please man, I can't breathe."

Additional text reads:
George Floyd, 14/10/73 - 25/05/20

Standing up against racism,
Remembering Georg Floyd,
Honouring Black Lives lost.

We're joining the administration to fight for free bus travel for under-22s, to end private NHS profiteering, and a council that stands up for renters. The choice is clear: Reform's politics of division, or Greens' politics of hope. Sheffield - want to help build something better?💚 Link in bio. 3/3

We're joining the administration to fight for free bus travel for under 22s, an end to private profiteering in Sheffield NHS, a Council that stands up for renters - taking on bad landlords, and so much more.

We are the only party in Sheffield that didn't lose a single seat to Reform. It is now a clear race between Reform's politics of division and Greens' politics of hope.

Can you give time to help? Click the link in bio.

Sheffield Green Party@sheffgreenparty· May 21

The full picture: Labour and the Lib Dems lost seats. Reform gained 12. We gained 6 - and we're the only party in Sheffield that didn't lose a single seat to Reform. 2/3

Sheffield Council now looks like this.

Graph shows the City Council Administration with 25 Labour seats and 20 Green seats. The Opposition has 22 Lib Dem seats, 13 Reform seats, and 4 Independents.

Whilst we have massive support for our plans to tackle the cost-of-living crisis and stand up against the far right.

Newspaper snippet with photos of Zack Polanski and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Headline reads: Green Party announces Zohran Mamdani-style cost-of-living policies like rent controls and workers getting at least 10% of what the CEO does.

The results are in - and Sheffield has spoken. 🌿 Greens are now the most popular party in Sheffield by vote share. But with our broken voting system, Reform won more seats with fewer votes. 🧵 1/3

Greens are now the most popular party in Sheffield. But the full story is more complicated.

Graph shows vote share across Sheffield, Greens leading, followed by Reform, then Labour, lastly Lib Dems.

The disproportionate voting system means Reform won the most seats with less votes...

Graph shows councillors elected in Sheffield on 7th May: 3 Labour (losing 13), 5 Lib Dem (losing 5), 10 Green (gaining 6), 12 Reform (gaining 12).

And as only 1/3 of the city's councillors were up for election this time...

Here's our Green plan to fight Reform in Sheffield:

Knock doors to understand people's concerns.

Organise campaigns that make lives better for all Sheffield residents.

Keep up the good wrok Greens do, organising in our communities.

We can only defeat Reform by organising politically behind people's concerns, and showing what real community unity looks like.
