Shropshire Councillor and Green Party Senior Local Government Political Adviser
Thank you to the Independent and Green Cllrs who elected me as the Local Government Associationl Independent Group Deputy Leader.
Pleased to get 64% of the vote.
Looking forward to working with new leader Cllr Hannah Dalton and Treasurer Cllr Johnny Denis.
Worth listening to Julian's comments and the council officer's response - essentially they won't consider Active Travel England's suggestions for this *town centre* development until the use for each plot is defined. It speaks of #motonormativity. youtu.be/0MJrnF2FlBs?...

π’ ENERGY PRICE RISE ALERTβ‘
Energy bills are set to increase again in April, with analysts forecasting another price cap rise.
It's time to call out the gaslighting and fight for a fair, green energy system! πβ‘

It's a fallacy to say that we have to choose between builders and blockers.
We could choose to have to right sorts of development, in the right place, at the right price that would meet our housing needs while protecting our precious natural environment.

Be great if @owenjones.bsky.social could also get stuck into the threat to democratic, local decision making - the bedrock of communities engaging with their futures collectively. Labour's authoritarianism is showing: leftfootforward.org/2024/12/the-...

Regimes like the the Assads' fall. They always fall.
Which makes our #ArmsSales and other support for Saudi Arabia deeply dangerous and short-sighted, as well as morally indefensible.
Those arms will end up somewhere, and new regime will remember the past

Where is Bashar al-Assad? Rumours that he's fled swirl despite official denials.
Regimes like his that are built on mass murder, torture & repression can collapse very quickly.
It's clear that many Syrians see the rebels as liberators.

People ask us "but where are the democrats?".
They were in the prisons, they were driven from their land.
And today they are returning home.
Is this not misleadingly presented? Surely it's - for example, that 22% of bisexual women voted Green, not that 22% of the Green vote were bisexual women?

There's me in the corner :) It was humbling to hear about the way our siblings in Northern Ireland are working hard in a hostile environment with executive parties in Stormont who don't give a **** about communities their environment.
