GREEN GAIN Stoneygate has chosen HOPE. Aasiya Bora is elected with 30% of the vote.

I've just read the latest from @TaxJusticeUK and think they're spot on. The Mandelson scandal is about more than bad decisions; it's about the sickness of elite influence infecting our democracy. taxjustice.uk/blog/behind-...

Decades of under investment have weakened our schools - and that weakens the whole country. We need real funding & care for education now. Here's my conversation with the General Secretary of the National Education Union @danielkebedeneu.bsky.social 👇🏼 youtu.be/MD-wBnLxOsM?...

I welcome the Early Day Motion proposed by Green MP @sianberry.bsky.social calling for a ban on the use of pesticides in public spaces 👏 www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/2580657...

I've been a @greenparty.org.uk member since January 2025 and also volunteer by leafleting around my local area. On Saturday morning, I joined the @worcestergreens.bsky.social team for the first time as they went doorknocking and I ran the board. Below are my thoughts with @karenlewing.bsky.social! 💚

November has been another packed month for Councillor @karenlewing.bsky.social Here are just a few of her activities:

Hope is here. Help us beat Reform in May. Donate today ⤵️

Our councillors attended last night’s Reclaim the Night event against violence against women & girls. Well done @alexmace.bsky.social, Tor Pingree, Alex Kinnersley,Hannah Cooper, @acwr.bsky.social Andrew Cross, @karenlewing.bsky.social, @louisjosephstephen.bsky.social and @neillaurenson.bsky.social

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Green Party has now reached over 170,000 members! Membership growth, polling surges, by-election wins and defections, the Green Party is making hope normal again. Join today to be part of it ⤵️

Pass the phone… to the 40,000 Young Greens! 📲 💚 We now have the largest youth and student movement in UK politics - AND the biggest Young Greens group in Europe 🥳 This is the generation that’s done waiting. Join us. ⤵️

July flew by, but one moment that stayed with me was attending the Remember Srebrenica memorial. A powerful reminder of what happens when hatred goes unchallenged — and why we must keep striving for empathy, justice, and compassion. #NeverForget

Smart cities know that, as hot as they already are, they’re just going to keep getting hotter. Greening the city not only cools it down, it cleans the air, quiets the noise, improves mental health & happiness, saves public money, & more. Strand Aldwych, London. 2021 vs. 2025. Via @modacitylife.com

Thank you for your support @karenlewing.bsky.social . I look forward to doing all this and more if I'm elected as Deputy Leader. #Rach4Deputy

For too long the UK economy has worked to the benefit of a tiny minority. The Greens and Tax Justice are changing that 💚 Will you join me, and @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social‬ in the fight for a fairer future. taxjustice.uk/join-the-tax...

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

New research provides conclusive proof that 20mph in London is saving lives. 14 yrs of analysis at 150+ sites - reviewed by experts - shows: ❤️40% fewer deaths (vs 7% drop on roads where no changes were made) ❤️75% fewer children killed & 50% fewer kids hurt And slower speeds deliver so much more:

City councillor @karenlewing.bsky.social was as busy as ever during May. Here is just a flavour of all of her activities:

“[Chalk streams] are globally significant ecosystems and are largely restricted to our shores. So we have a huge responsibility to protect them.” Really disappointing for this amendment I moved in the Planning & Infrastructure Bill Committee to be vetoed. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: Labour licensed exports of more military equipment to Israel in the final three months of 2024 than the Tories did for all of 2020-2023, new figures have revealed

Overnight, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator warned that genocide is possible in Gaza. I asked an urgent question Does this Govt stand by its duty to prevent under the Genocide Convention, and will it act to uphold humanitarian law? Or just say “we did all we could.” youtube.com/shorts/ClNmA...

Some of the things I did alongside campaigning for our local elections which resulted in us gaining two extra county councillors and the successful re-election of two great Greens - including my cllr! @cllrmattjenkins.bsky.social

Thank you Ellie for your support as always!!! 👏💚

Labour’s Planning & Infrastructure Bill rips up essential protections and puts irreplaceable habitats at risk. Developers would be handed more power — while scientists warn the Bill is a "licence to kill nature." We cannot let them roll back decades of environmental progress. Contact your MP now.

This petition calling on the Government NOT to make cruel cuts to benefits that will force more people into poverty now has almost 65,000 signatures. Let’s make it 100,000 this weekend. It only takes a moment to sign🙏 act.38degrees.org.uk/act/no-cruel...

Utterly indefensible. Labour are choosing to cut vital support from vulnerable people. They are also choosing to protect the wealth of the super rich. If this makes you angry, do something about it. Join @greenparty.org.uk and challenge this Government.

“The government has announced the most devastating cuts to disability benefits on record. These plans should shame the government to its core” says SCOPE

Here are some of things I did last month!

Now on 99,250 signatures! By almost every economic and financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK - lets get this petition to the 100,000 needed today and start an honest and open conversation about it

🗳️❌Democracy Cancelled: CONFIRMED: Labour Government cancels 2025 elections in: Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Thurrock, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, and Isle of Wight. #LE25 #Elections #Democracy

Well done City Councillors Karen Lewing @karenlewing.bsky.social and Hannah Cooper for getting such a lot of street name plates sorted out. It really does make a difference to an area. 😊💚 www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/2490175...

Here are just some of the things that Councillor Karen Lewing @karenlewing.bsky.social has been doing this month!

The team at Worcester Museum + Art Gallery are working with shop suppliers to find more sustainable packaging options + avoid plastic. The shop also supports local artists + and products using recycled bottles in their effort to fight against our throwaway culture. @sascampaigns.bsky.social

Please sign. Please repost.

The Worcestershire Conquest Hoard of coins is now on display at the Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum until the end of March. This extraordinary collection dates to the earliest years of Roman Britain and is free to visit but help is needed to purchase the hoard to keep it in Worcestershire!

A pleasure to talk to @karenlewing.bsky.social about her bid to make Worcester an Age-friendly Community. Councillors will discuss the idea tonight

Let’s join Amsterdam , Sydney , Edinburgh and France in banning fossil fuel advertisements and sponsorships , sign my petition to force a debate in Parliament on the issue . lovera.ge/ban-ffa

On Small Business Saturday the Green Party have five asks to help small business - in Worcester we have some wonderful small, local and ethical businesses but margins are tight and we should support them and value their contribution! 💚

It was great to be at the official opening of the new Kepax bridge across the River Severn that connects the north of Worcester for people walking, wheeling and cycling 💚 #activetravel

Here are just some of the things that Green City Councillor Karen Lewing @karenlewing.bsky.social did during November:

It's awful that the Tories sat in this for so long that it must have shown widespread support for a ban which didn't fit with their ideology, but also, Labour have been sitting on it for 6-months now. Tick tock.

I am pleased that working with County Cllr Matthew Jenkins our residents can now safely store their mobility scooters and have step free access from their homes www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/2471791...
