Cllr Tess Read

Labour really need to come clean about how much money goes to good causes from the Exeter lottery. It’s not the full 60p that the council are reporting, as everybody knows. At least we have pushed them to put the true figures in the fine print, but we need the headline figure to be accurate too.

Reform branding changed to read Reform Meltdown. It's time for (Reform crossed out and replaced with) chaos. Below is a Green Party logo with 'For real hope and real change' beside it.

🫠Reform appear to be in meltdown in Exeter.
😳Two councillors reported to the police.
😲Local Party chair sacked.

Wherever Reform UK goes, chaos follows and local residents lose out.

On the right of the graphic is a thumbnail image of Green councillor in Heavitree Catherine Rees and a quote: "I hope this is a turning point and the government now passes a Right to Roam Act, to protect and extend public rights of responsible access to nature across England."

🥳A win for all those who want to wild camp on #Dartmoor and those who support the right to do so.

Incredibly brilliant column by Juliette Harkin. We could all re-imagine and see how it feels… #Gaza www.edp24.co.uk/news/2516241...

👋This is Labour signing out as anything resembling a progressive party.
🤦Inviting a fake news far-right lobby group to join you as you double down on Enoch Powell rhetoric.

So thrilled to have these three new Councillors for #Devon ! They will be hard-working inspirational drivers of Green change.

So delighted to get the voters showed faith in Jack who will make a wonderful Councillor with our growing team of #Green county councillors for devon. Jack is another example of the kind of hard-working inspirational person of great integrity who we really need in our politics. Congratulations!!

A narrow victory, but a well-earned one for our hard working candidate, now councillor, in Heavitree and Whipton Barton, @jackeade.bsky.social

What a resounding victory for our city councillor, now to be county councillor as well, Andy Ketchin! Where people have #Greens elected they like what they see and vote for more. Such a great result!

Absolutely thrilled that Tom has been elected for Devon County Council for the #Greens. Voters rightly recognised that we have great policies, and that energetic, hard-working, young people like Tom are just who we need to push these policies forward. Congratulations Cllr Tom!

Don’t forget to vote #Green today ! I just voted and it felt great. 🙂 May the 1st be with us!!

✋Let's stop rewarding South West Water for failure.
🚽It's time to flush this failed experiment with privatisation down the drain.
💩With its disgusting record on sewage spills and eye-watering bills this water company should be front of the queue for nationalisation.

Put the date in your diary - the wonderful Salmon Run will be back! 20 September for the love of our river Exe. 💚💚💚

🌟 Thomas is our Young Green superstar!
💚 He works in the heart of the division he wants to represent - at Exeter City Football Club & on our local railways.
💪 Help him bring his energy, commitment and hard work to County Hall! #VoteGreen Vote for Thomas Richardson!

Bernadette has lived in Pennsylvania #Exeter for 20 years.
A Home Energy Advisor, she see's first-hand how fuel poverty & cuts to vital services are hurting people.
Her priorities if elected include making homes energy efficient & working better with parents & carers to improve SEND services.

Wonderful to see young people getting involved with #Green politics to help make the world a greener fairer place. #Exeter #VoteGreen

🔥🔥🔥WOW! Almost double the Labour vote and Reform and the Tories nowhere to be seen.💚

Just the sort of results we will be looking to in #Exeter on 1st May in the County Council elections.

👀Look our Labour, the Green surge is coming knocking!

🌳 last week me & James and volunteers Vs the bunnies in Bromham's Field

We think the trees will win 💚

On Saturday Katie spoke to me about why she joined the #Exeter protest against the #disability benefits cuts. Supporting people into work is needed but these cuts are causing anxiety & will cause harm. We don't need continued austerity.

A party formed and run by millionaires has no real interest in ordinary people and their concerns.
Reform UK are fraudsters.

A graphic showing a letter addressed: To locals leaders and MPs from Devon Green councillors. The text on the letter emerging from the envelope reads: Government has made it very clear that the local government reorganisation in Devon is inevitable, and we intend to engage with this in a positive way to ensure the needs of our communities and environment come first. We are deeply concerned that conflicting plans are being developed behind numerous closed doors, each rushing to meet the Government’s March deadline for initial proposals.

In an open letter, Green councillors in Devon have called on local leaders & MPs to pull together on plans for local government reorganisation, so we don't end up being carved up by Whitehall.

A graphic showing a pile of coins and quote: The proposed Labour budget indicates an administration that has run out of steam and ideas for our city. Step forward the Progressive Group with ammendments to generate the income needed to protect vital front line services.

📉Labour should be ashamed of their proposed budget cuts.

📊The Progressive Group has worked hard to put together an alternative budget to generate the income needed to ensure existing public toilets, leisure services and city centre street cleaning services are maintained.
