One year ago our team was celebrating sending seven brilliant @TheGreenParty people to Europe, after an election in which we *did* finish ahead of the Tories. Our new MEPs had only 8 months, but all worked so hard for their regions and had a massive impact. #GreenWave 1/x https://twitter.com/sianberry/status/1132832074161885184
I spend the start of results night at home in City Hall - at the London count with the lovely and soon-to-be-elected @GreenPartyScott, our incredible outgoing MEP @JeanLambertLDN and the ace London team: #GreenWave https://twitter.com/sianberry/status/1132747885567717376?s=20

taking the election night media shift. One year ago I started out being proud on LBC, then the BBC - pointing out the balance of votes for staying in the EU and calling for cross-party work on a deal to put to the people for a final say: #GreenWave 3/x https://twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status/1132798936358383616?s=20

In Sheffield, we comprehensively came ahead of Tories, Labour and LDs, and Yorkshire and the Humber elected the magnificent @MagicMagid to be their best MEP ever: #GreenWave 4/x https://twitter.com/natalieben/status/1132764202991575040?s=20
I was watching the Y&H result in the Sky studio off air, so there is no record of my reaction when I found out @MagicMagid had won his seat. Fair to say it was something like this: #GreenWave 5/x https://twitter.com/TheGreenParty/status/1132778619774939137?s=20
In the South East @AlexForEurope fought a superb campaign and took over an existing Green MEP seat from @GreenKeithMEP. She won a comprehensive first place in the vote across Brighton and Hove: #GreenWave 6/x https://twitter.com/BHGreens/status/1132788177822003206?s=20
And it was amazing to see @GinaDowding elected as a new Green MEP for the North West. An all round legend indeed! #GreenWave 7/x https://twitter.com/TheGreenParty/status/1132792583363731463?s=20
Here you can watch the wonderful @GinaDowdingMEP one year ago hailing "a vote for a positive future" in the North West. She then rolled up her sleeves and worked out plans for a Green New Deal in the region that we need now more than ever. #GreenWave 8/x https://twitter.com/McrGreenParty/status/1132794781363576832?s=20
The wonderful @EllieChowns is a superb Green councillor in one of our most successful regions. One year ago she nearly forgot to tweet after being elected as the new Green MEP for the West Midlands! #GreenWave 9/x https://twitter.com/EllieChowns/status/1132786373306572801?s=20
The East of England region also turned out in force for the Greens last year, and all the hard work paid off. We topped the poll in Norwich, won our first MEP for the region, and sent the brilliant @catherinerowett to Brussels. #GreenWave 10/x https://twitter.com/Amelia_Womack/status/1132768201467670528?s=20
Since 2014, the South West region *was* taking note of the hard work and economic expertise of @GreenPartyMolly. In 2019 she was re-elected with a leap in the vote - completely deserved after five years of fierce graft. Watch her speech: #GreenWave 11/x https://twitter.com/sianberry/status/1133044472449835008?s=20
The #GreenWave in the South West, and the love for @GreenPartyMolly was so high that in 2019 the Green vote was more than twice the Conservatives, and more than Tories and Labour *combined*. https://twitter.com/ChrisGibsonNews/status/1132780588207890433?s=20 12/x
Another important feature of 2019's #GreenWave across Europe, celebrated one year ago today, was our huge vote share among young people, concerned about climate chaos and wanting to stake a claim in a better future. 13/x https://twitter.com/YoungGreenParty/status/1132801609170333698?s=20
Across the continent, Green parties won big in 2019. A #GreenWave based on social justice, climate justice, and a commitment to human rights, free movement and working across borders on the biggest problems faced by humanity. 14/x https://twitter.com/sianberry/status/1132826057860616195?s=20
We were NOT standing on a single issue, and our policies and principles shone out of everything we said in the 2019 EU elections. #GreenWave 15/x https://twitter.com/YoungGreenParty/status/1132797132577103872?s=20
Here, @zoesqwilliams praises the clarity and positivity of the successful Green campaign in the 2019 EU elections: #GreenWave 16/x https://twitter.com/sianberry/status/1132820277623250944?s=20
I spoke with Carrie Gracie on the BBC the day after the results for the 2019 EU elections saw a record seven @TheGreenParty MEPs elected, so proud of the Green Wave across Europe, and among young and first time voters: #GreenWave 17/x
And finally for my 2019 #GreenWave recap, just to relive for a moment with @CarolineRussell that feeling when everyone could vote for what they believed in and you beat the Tories in a national election.
