Newcastle's Green Group and Liberal Democrat Group have reached an agreement for the upcoming council arrangement! 📣

Newcastle Council Update:
Liberal Democrats and Greens sign Stability and Co-Operation Agreement.

Councillor Nick Hartley, Leader of the Green Group, and Councillor Colin Ferguson, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, have reached an agreement for Newcastle City Council's new leadership arrangement following the 7th May elections.

Following the local elections, Newcastle City Council remains under no overall control, with residents electing a council split across several political groups and no single party able to govern alone. In response to that result, the Liberal Democrat and Green groups have agreed a Stability and Co-operation Agreement designed to provide stable leadership for the city while strengthening democratic accountability and cross-party working. The agreement establishes formal arrangements for collaboration on major issues including the Budget and Policy Framework, while recognising the distinct and independent roles of both political groups.

Under the agreement, the Liberal Democrats will form the administration and take executive responsibility for leading the council, while the Greens will serve as a co-operative opposition through a confidence-and-supply arrangement. The agreement also strengthens the role of scrutiny, establishes a Cross-Party Coordination Working Group and commits both groups to approaching political debate in good faith and in the interests of Newcastle residents.

Statement from Newcastle Green party on Cllr Astley

Nigel Farage claims the extreme right is not welcome in Reform. Therefore, we call on Newcastle Reform to:
- Suspend Councillor Astley immediately and eject him from the Reform Group on the Council
- Explain how and why a recent organiser for a fascist party was selected as a candidate for Reform
- Clearly state on all their social media channels that they explicitly reject the baseless, dangerous and overtly racist ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy theory
