Happy #SuffolkDay and #Pride2025 ! Celebrating our beautiful, inclusive county at a Pride Youth event today in a very sunny #Suffolk @midsuffolkgreen.bsky.social

Campaign graphic featuring a quote from Ellie Chowns, attributed to her opinion piece in The Guardian. The quote reads: “People trust the Greens – polling shows we now have higher favourability ratings than any other party. Under the leadership of Carla Denyer and Adrian, we’ve had our most successful electoral period... We’ve built the foundation. Now it’s time to build the transformation.” At the bottom right is a cropped image of the Guardian article headline: “I would make the Green party a force at the heart of British politics. That’s why I’m running to be co-leader – Ellie Chowns.” Her portrait is included. The Ellie & Adrian logo and the slogan “Together We Win” appear at the bottom left. A vertical disclaimer states the image is campaign material, not official Green Party communication.

People trust the Greens - we now have the highest favourability ratings of any party.

We've quadrupled our MPs and doubled our councillors.

We’ve built the foundation. Let's build the transformation together.

As part of #VillageHallsWeek I joined @cllr-tim.bsky.social at Palgrave Community Centre for Meet the Volunteer Groups event.

The centre has so much going on, from fitness and other classes, to coffee mornings, bereavement support, outdoor play. Huge thanks to everyone who volunteers.

YouTube video by Adrian Ramsay MP Kemi Badenoch speech today is a dereliction of duty

@kemibadenochmp.bsky.social speech today is a dereliction of duty and a u-turn on a policy that’s about ensuring a liveable future. All parties must come behind net zero and not use it as a political football.

Tributes pour in for 'community champion' who served community until her death Suffolk councillors have paid tribute to Haughley and Wetherden ward member Rachel Eburne who died on Friday, March 14.

Terribly sad news about the loss of Rachel Eburne.

RIP

This is to let you know that very sadly Councillor Rachel Eburne passed away on Friday 14 March 2025.

Rachel’s wisdom and warmth will be missed by so many people in so many ways. Our thoughts are with her family at this time.

The Waveney and Little Ouse Recovery project is a trailblazer and should be used as a model for natural flood management nationwide. I have written to the Minister for Food Security and Rural Affairs urging his department to maintain its support for the project. @suffolkwildlife.bsky.social

It’s time for climate populism As politics turns against net zero, we need to mobilise a genuine mass movement against ecological catastrophe.

Climate action globally is under threat. It’s hugely urgent to seize initiative from rightwing populists. We need to change tactics: start by building climate resilience in local communities where people can feel tangible benefits – we’re calling it climate popularism. @rupertread.bsky.social & me🧵

Ruined church with large stone window and no roof. Snowdrops growing in the grass around the hedge in front.

Just randomly came across this ruined church today, on a lane we haven’t been down before. As usual in old churchyards there were snowdrops everywhere - the ‘fair maids of February.’ Fitting for Feb 1st.
As winters warm and spring arrives earlier, hope the snowdrops will keep coming back…#suffolk

Keir Starmer’s ‘plan for change’ won’t deliver the climate adaptation we need The government definitely needed a reset. But it missed a crucial mission.

🌍 We must better prepare the country for a future of more extreme weather and put nature at the heart of our response to climate breakdown. We need decisive action now.

Environmental issues, but also #CostofLiving impacts, as we fail to make progress on creating a #CircularEconomy: I suggest improvements to the #ProductRegulation Bill.

Thanks @wclnews.bsky.social for excellent briefing

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. "Today's announcement left too many householders out in the cold. And while making up to 300,000 homes a year warmer and cheaper to run is welcome, it falls far short of the 15 million homes that the UK Green Building Council says need to be retrofitted by the end of this decade." Adrian Ramsay MP, Green Party Co-leader I MP for Waveney Valley Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

"What we need now is a nationwide programme of government-backed, council-delivered home insulation... to keep people’s homes warm, bring down their bills, and reduce emissions."

Adrian Ramsay reacts to the Government's 'Warm Homes Plan'.

Infuriated. No support for a ban on bailing out water companies nor for public ownership. Just Jenny &
@nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social plus the wonderful Prem Sikka in favour. (Oh and 82% of the public.)

A vote was pointless. It was the 3 of us against Labour, Tory, Lib Dem and Crossbench apathy.

Caring for Birds in the Winter Garden with Nick Acheson BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine Podcast · Episode

Do you feed the birds? In my latest podcast for @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social I chat with @themarshtit.bsky.social about the unintended consequences of supplementary feeding, tangled webs and, of course, geese. Wherever you get your podcasts but here on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2jsD...

Looks beautiful if a tad chilly ❄️

Looks like a gorgeous day…

The inheritance tax is just the straw. Our smaller farmers already feel broken. The underlying issues are what we should be focussing on

My view from @thegreenparty.bsky.social as quoted in @theguardian.com 👇

Talk white oxeye daisies in a wild garden, with a hedge in the background.

Just looking back through some photos and found this pic of our ‘lawn’ last summer. The oxeye daisies self seeded - we let them grow right up to the house - it felt like we were living in a meadow. The long grass attracted so many insects too 🦋🐝🌱

Biodiversity law that forces builders to compensate for nature loss could be twice as effective, experts claim Recent rules that require all new building and road projects in England to address and offset their impact on nature are excellent in principle but flawed in their implementation, leading environmenta...

This is a really important point that often gets overlooked: not everywhere has equal potential to deliver nature recovery. If we are serious about bending the biodiversity curve, we need to be targeting habitat creation in specific locations. news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-e...

While people like UK PM Keir Starmer insist there’s no need for individual lifestyle change, the truth is very different.
