"Greens are picking up their votes..." @sianberry.bsky.social speaks to BBC News after some exciting early local election results.

A very happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough, British icon and champion of climate and nature action💚 Protecting nature and combatting climate breakdown couldn't be more vital - we need to urgently ramp up action on both fronts.

I’ve been out three times in Petersfield this week, including yesterday, where Kathryn and I were joined by the spectacular @elliechowns.bsky.social 💚

My fellow Green MPs and I have written to the Foreign Secretary expressing our grave concern at the dismantling of structures needed to monitor and respond to possible violations of international law in the Middle East. This decision must be reversed.

The Global Sumud Flotilla has been forcibly stopped in international waters by the Israeli Navy. We're calling on the Prime Minister to condemn this breach of international law, work to ensure the safety of those still onboard, and extend diplomatic protection to those seized by Israeli forces.

Absolutely horrified by the terrorist incident in Golders Green today - my thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the wider community in the wake of this appalling act of violence.

There is clearly a case to be answered on Starmer's statements about the Mandelson vetting scandal - that is what today's vote is about, and why I supported the Motion. All MPs, regardless of Party, owe it to their conscience and their constituents to do the same.

While ordinary British families struggle to cope with rising energy prices, oil giant BP has more than doubled its profits in the wake of Trump and Netanyahu's illegal war - an absolute disgrace. We need a further windfall tax now. news.sky.com/story/oil-gi...

There is no amount of subservience or ego-flattering that will turn Donald Trump into a reliable ally for the UK - a state visit from the King won't do it either.

It's been another busy week in Westminster - here's what I've been up to as your MP!

Absolutely delighted to have received a copy of The Riverside Code, a beautiful booklet created by Friends of the River Wye to help local residents turn love for the River Wye into action to restore it to health!

Yesterday I joined campaigners from @dignityindying.org.uk in support of the Assisted Dying Bill, which has been unreasonably blocked from progressing by a handful of unelected Peers. The majority of MPs and the public support this Bill - the govt must ensure it returns after the King's Speech.

Starmer appointed Mandelson despite knowing his links to Epstein and foreign states. He resisted and then took a wilfully ignorant attitude towards vetting, compromising national security. He threw a civil servant under the bus to try and save his own skin. The PM must resign.

Throwing a civil servant under the bus will not distract from the fact that the PM asked no questions about Mandelson's vetting, that his office did not even want to conduct vetting, or that he made an outrageous error of judgement in appointing Mandelson in the first place. The PM must resign.

Time and time again we hear govt ministers condemn Israel's flagrant breaches of international law but take no real action. This is simply not enough. Ban settlement trade, stop all arms sales to and military cooperation with Israel, and pursue investigations into war crimes.

The PM says it is "unforgivable" that he was not informed about Mandelson failing vetting. It is Starmer's clear lack of judgement and disregard for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein which is unforgivable. The PM must take responsibility and resign.

We need to win big on May 7. Thousands of Green candidates are standing across England and Wales. This is a real chance to change politics - to give communities a stronger voice and challenge parties backed by big money. Support the campaign 👉 crowdfunder.co.uk/p/we-deserve...

So lovely to visit Herefordshire Headway and meet with the Say Aphasia Support Group to learn more about the brilliant collaborative work being done by Headway, the NHS, and SayAphasia to support local people living with aphasia!

Happy Friday everyone - here's what I've been up to as your MP this week!

Our MPs have written to Ed Miliband urging him not to backtrack on the ban on new oil and gas. More drilling won’t lower bills or secure our energy future. It’s time to invest in renewables, future-proof jobs, and make polluters pay.

It's clear we need to go much further to combat the corrosive impacts of huge political donations on UK politics. That means banning crypto donations, yes - but also introducing a cap on individual donations, greater transparency on campaign donations and spending, and more.

Incredibly relieved a temporary ceasefire has been agreed between Israel and Lebanon. The UK now double efforts to secure a permanent and just peace in the region, justice for victims, and accountability for all responsible for breaches of international law.

Absolutely scandalous - the Foreign Office reportedly granted Mandelson clearance to act as Ambassador despite him failing security vetting. Both the PM and then-Foreign Sec David Lammy must urgently explain how this decision was made and the extent of their involvement in it.

Delighted to visit Wyevale Nurseries in Hereford and discuss numerous aspects of their business, including the impact of climate change on horticulture, the importance of water resilience, and the role govt can play supporting businesses sustainability.

Absolutely outrageous. Oil and gas giants have raked in billions in unearned profits in the first month of Trump and Netanyahu's illegal war - all while ordinary families across the country struggle to cope with rising energy costs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The increase in humanitarian aid to Sudan announced today is absolutely welcome, but we must go further- use every lever to prevent further atrocities, stop illicit trade which fuels the conflict, and hold those responsible for war crimes to account.

Tonight MPs will vote on the govt's latest attempt to crack down on the right to protest - this time through restricting recurrent protests. Myself and fellow Green MPs will be voting against these plans; peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy and must be defended.

Every day we watch as the US and Israel breach intl law with seeming impunity, wreaking chaos and devastation on the world stage. This cannot continue. The UK must take serious action and make clear we will not be made accomplice to Trump and Netanyahu's illegal aggression.

It's well past time to do away with Council Tax, a deeply regressive and unfair tax whereby the poorest households end up paying a much larger proportion of their income than the wealthiest do.

Huge congratulations to Peter Magyar and Tisza! The Hungarian people have turned their backs on authoritarianism, corruption, and prejudice - and have stood up to resist Putin, Trump & Vance. This is a victory for hope!

The fragile US-Iran ceasefire is a relief - essential now that all effort goes into diplomacy. UK must do everything possible to pressure US and Israel to end this war of choice.

Deeply worrying times as Trump sounds ever more unhinged & threatens to commit war crimes. If Trump carries out his unconscionable, desperate threats against civilians in Iran, Starmer must recall Parliament immediately and stop all military cooperation incl US use of UK bases.

If you’re a constituent with an issue that is impacting you or your community that you'd like to speak with me about, booking a surgery appointment is a great way to do so. I'll be holding my next regular surgery in Leominster on April 10th - get in touch to book an appointment!

Really lovely to visit Bloom and Grind and other local businesses in Pembridge to speak about the challenges small businesses face and what more needs to be done to support them!

Great to speak to local business representatives at a meeting of the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce - really valuable discussions about business challenges and opportunities in a range of sectors!

I did it! 5km, 200 lengths💪😊 Huge thanks to everyone who sponsored me for #Swimathon2026, to all the staff and volunteers, and to Halo Leominster and Swimathon. Proud to support such great causes like Cancer Research UK, Marie Curie, and Swimathon Foundation!

Happy Friday everyone - here's what I've been up to as your MP this week!

I welcome the Rycroft Review and the action the govt has taken on crypto and overseas donations - but there is so much more to do to root out foreign interference in our democracy. I'll keep pushing on this in Committee for the Representation of the People Bill.

The fuel price shock we're seeing now demonstrates just how risky our continued dependence on oil and gas is for British households. The govt must do all it can to bring down energy costs - decouple the price of electricity from gas and wean us off dirty volatile fossil fuels.

Rivers are the lifeblood of our landscapes - but in many constituencies like mine, they're under threat. It was an honour to present my petition on behalf of constituents, calling on the govt to take further action to address pollution and save the River Wye and its tributaries.

Israeli govt and military officials have made overt comparisons between its plans for Lebanon and its genocidal destruction of Gaza. The UK govt must act decisively to avoid UK complicity in further crimes and to end the impunity which has enabled and emboldened Israel.

After years of delay, the Future Homes Standard is finally out. Solar panels, heat pumps, and insulation standards are all welcome - but this still feels like half a plan, when the scale of the housing crisis demands the whole lot.

Despite having no viable plan or the consent of the Commons, the UK Government has once again allowed Trump to drag Britain further into his illegal war in the Middle East.

UN Secretary General António Guterres has said "every key climate indicator is flashing red" as Earth's climate is further out of balance than at any time in recorded history. We cannot afford further delay in combatting climate breakdown. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My thoughts are with Jewish communities across Britain today in the wake of the antisemitic arson attack on ambulances in London. This disgusting act of hatred and intimidation has no place in the UK.

Britain's waterways are vital resources for our communities, local economies, and wildlife - they must be protected, for people and planet. That means taking a truly joined up approach to pollution, tackling sewage and agricultural pollution alike. #WorldWaterDay
