Delighted to be running yet another packed action day in the Rushmere St Andrew by-election.

Just one seat separates @thegreenparty.bsky.social and the Tories at East Suffolk Council and the race is neck-and-neck.

Lots of people impressed by Julian Cusack on the doorstep!

I’m sick of landlords treating renters like cash cows It’s only fair that if the accommodation renters are being provided with isn’t decent, they shouldn’t be forced to pay for it.

It's time we did something about rip-off rents - and my amendment to the Renters' Rights Bill would do just that. My column for @metro.co.uk ⬇️ #RentControls #GenerationRent

I got so used to never ever posting anything on twitter because it became so pointless when the algorithm drives you to promoted content that I keep forgetting to ever post anything here too

It’s like I’ve got trauma from twitter

Norwich City Council doesn’t operate here but I’ve requested that they shelter rough sleepers on Wednesday night at the very latest when feels-like temperatures are set to hit, and drop below freezing.

They may say they wait for other authorities but they should take the initiative.

To be very clear, I reached out to the Cabinet Member for Housing directly during the storm and received no response to this day. I put in a councillor enquiry through the official process and only received a response a week after the storm had ended.

Row erupts at City Hall after rough sleepers left on streets during extreme weather Homeless people were left on the streets of Norwich during Storm Darragh.

I was really proud that we were able to win a change so that rough sleepers are given shelter *before* temperatures hit freezing, and during extreme weather.

It’s really disappointing to see the council fail at the first test and not recognise their mistake.

Labour shelves rescue plan for globally rare chalk streams Protection of habitat featured in David Attenborough’s Wild Isles had been promised under the Tories

Labour does not get nature.

β€œThe action plan is agreed and written. It is utterly baffling that this new government would want to shelve all that work".

No wonder we are one of the most nature-depleted corners of this planet, with #biodiversity in free fall

Enforce the fox hunting ban this boxing day

Enforce the fox hunting ban this boxing day

🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland has the strongest hunting laws in the UK.

🚫But today, will be a true test for these laws.

🦊Authorities must enforce these laws for the sake of our nature.

I have made roasted brussel sprouts with a honey, red wine vinegar and chilli glaze but my father has still decided he wants to boil some for himself.

Criminal.

I think greetings cards as a whole are a complete waste of money and paper unless it’s for a proper message and someone you don’t see often but giving cards to your immediate family… I just don’t understand what the point of that could ever be

I was in a rush and thought I didn’t mind paying a couple quid because I was in their to buy a gift card and they really exploited that.

Really hit my anti-capitalist nerve.

WHSmith just charged me Β£5.50 for a generic Christmas card

If any company deserves bankruptcy, it’s that one.

Councils used to be able deliver for communities and make their local areas places to be proud of.

Now they are stripped back to the bone, struggling to deliver even the most critical services while our country degrades around us.

Labour should be ashamed they are not even trying to reverse this

Despite rhetoric from the Labour government, local councils will yet again be forced to make cuts to services while increasing council tax.

We still live under Tory austerity even if it’s for a Labour rosette on now, and it’s the poorest that will be hit the hardest by this.
