This budget shifts costs onto residents—parking, enforcement, reduced services—while offering minimal investment in the things that reduce inequality. Social justice means protecting those with least power in the system. This budget doesn’t get close. #GCCBudget2026

Introducing parking charges at rail stations risks pushing people back into cars. If Gloucestershire is serious about climate and congestion, rail users should be supported, not penalised. A fair, sustainable transport system starts with encouraging the right choices. #GCCBudget2026

Replacing big empty buses with The Robin can make sense. But GCC is doing it as a cost-saving, not an upgrade. We’ll push to ensure service levels rise — not fall — for rural communities #GCCbudget2026

Unfortunately @libdemcam.bsky.social didn’t attend the www.nebriefing.org last week despite Tewkesbury being arguably one of the more climate sensitive regions in the UK

This rant from the British newspaper columnist and broadcaster Melanie Phillips is insane. It is hateful. It is nauseating. And it is instructive.

Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social‬'s call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/3782/pe...

Excuse me

Over 170,000 children living in temporary accommodation is a national disgrace. Children need safe, warm, stable homes to thrive - when will Labour grasp the nettle on this? We need to unfreeze the local housing allowance and seriously invest in social housing, now.

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The frequency of disasters has quadrupled in the past two decades, yet the healthy ecosystems that naturally help reduce these risks are vanishing. Investing in nature offers a smart, cost-effective way to protect lives and strengthen economies. Learn more: tinyurl.com/4zcbfbxk

Green Party level with the Labour Party for the first time. Let’s see if the media give the Greens as much coverage as they gave Farage when he didn’t even have MPs.

Reality: Brexit's a disaster. Labour Apologist: The EU don't want us back. Reality: Here's the EU saying they want us back. Labour Apologist: Brits don't want to rejoin. Reality: Here are polls showing people want to rejoin. Labour Apologist: We must be patient. Reality: We've been waiting 9 years!

We now have 115,000 members (translation: a sh*t load). And we're not stopping there. Thousands of people are joining every week to be part of a different, hopeful politics. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

The Greens have pulled ahead of Labour for the first time. It's on! 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/greens-pul...

Earlier this week, Zack Polanski predicted that the Green Party would 'replace Labour'. He might be on to something...

Robert Jenrick calls Handsworth "a slum". The Prime Minister calls us "an island of strangers". Real leaders know that there's culture in every corner of the UK when you scratch below the surface. Real leaders don't punch down, they lift up.

With 2 weeks to go, we are 1/3rd of the way to reaching our goal of £3000. We need this money to get Tewkesbury Greens elected on 1 May. This County election is no ordinary one - it will decide the new way services are delivered. Let's ensure these are Green www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/tewkesbury...

✨️Happy New Year from all of us at @tewksgreenparty.bsky.social 🎉

This is desperately sad and my thoughts are with friends & former colleagues impacted by these cuts As Laura says, this is also no way to run the NCN. The CSR, and CWIS3, should set out a long term funding settlement for the NCN - this should reach £300m by the end of this parliament

"Why are electricity prices so high if renewables break generation records and are so cheap?" I have been asked. The main reason: Gas still sets the price 63% of the time in wholesale electricity markets in EU27 & >90% in some countries. The graphic is from the Draghi Report.

Great meeting today with Green Party colleagues from across the County looking at our 2025 campaign to get more Green Councillors onto Gloucestershire County Council. Look out for more news on how you can get involved if you want to see more Green Party success. #RealHopeRealChange #VoteGreen
