Merry Christmas one and all - I hope you have a peaceful day.

Cllr Alex Mace, co-leader of Worcester Greens at Worcester City Council, said: "It seems rather naive of Harriett Baldwin to take the word of the hunting community that they do not hunt live animals and ignore evidence that shows they do." […]

An early Christmas present on Gregorys Bank from Councillor Matt Jenkins, with a new dropped kerb to make it easier to get onto National Cycle Route 45 along the canal towpath. A nice improvement for active travel. Thank you Matt!

Hydrogen is not a practical solution to almost anything. Yet Worcester’s Labour MP has raised it more times than the hospital, schools and flooding in Parliament. Is he the MP for Worcester, or Worcester Bosch? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c36z2386lw3o

If Labour no longer feels like your home, it’s because The Labour Party has left you. You’ll receive a warm welcome in The Green Party. Let’s talk.

Great to see the city centre packed out for the last day of the Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre, despite the soggy weather. Great food, great atmosphere and I came home with a new hat as well.

Woke Britain: you can’t even do any good natured racism without being cancelled these days! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/dec/04/nigel-farage-denies-saying-anything-racist-with-malice-as-he-attacks-bbc

Billionaire wealth has doubled since the pandemic. Where's Labour's focus on taxing wealth so we can cut housing, energy and public transport costs? That's how you fix Britain. Not by targeting people who are already struggling to get help […]

Pleased to speak out about the criminal activity and unacceptable attitudes in Reform UK. They’re wrong, full stop, so why are they so common at the top of the party? https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/25654949.reform-uk-should-screening-politicians-criminal-behaviour/

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting. Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth? For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

In 2024, UK billionaire wealth increased by £35m a day, or £12.7bn over the whole year. In the budget, the Labour Government increased taxes on ordinary people by more than that. Why is everyone but multi-millionaires and billionaires being asked to pay more? We need to tax wealth, not work.

I have spoiled my ballot at every single PCC election because they are a giant waste of time and money. Returning accountability to councils and mayors is a big improvement. West Mercia has been a dumping ground for failed Tories as well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93d4dd3l3lo

electionmaps.uk projection for Worcester using today's YouGov poll numbers also shows it's Reform or Green in the battle for the win. Join us now at https://join.greenparty.org.uk to stop Reform and turn Worcester Green with year round hard work […] [Original post on mace.social]

This is from Worcestershire County Council’s audit report. Yet they expect us to believe their savings numbers in their One Worcestershire unitary. They have zero credibility. It is time for new thinking and two unitaries to transform Worcestershire.

Reform’s leader of Worcestershire County Council thinks a day of democracy is too much like hard work. Perhaps she could spend some of the almost £55,000 a year we pay her on someone to look after her dogs. These meetings are in the calendar. If you don’t want to do the job, resign.

Thank you for showing me round Worcester Snoezelen - what a brilliant space it is, that we are lucky to have in Worcester. The expansion plans are very ambitious. Accessible play and support is so important - both in provision for all and dedicated provision.

It’s like a metaphor for Britain in 2025. Tax wealth, not work. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c3vndezk31qo

Disappointing to see the leader of Worcestershire Conservatives telling porkies on Politics Midlands. Worcester’s council tax WILL go up MORE under a single unitary for Worcestershire. There are only 5 chief execs in Worcestershire, not 7. North and South Worcestershire are what people want as well.

We will not accept more managed decline. We're not here to be disappointed by Labour, we are here to replace them. Join us now to help. https://join.greenparty.org.uk

The "Abolish Landlords" policy, which Labour and Liberal Democrats in Worcester have both come out against, will end Right to Buy. If we do not end this farce, we will continue to see the our national assets ending up in the hands of landlords... who can then sell them back to the council for a […]

When Reform in Worcestershire, and their fossil fuel paymasters, deny climate change, they are abandoning residents to having their lives and businesses ruined by worsening flooding. We need action and we need it now, there is no time to wait […]

A few pieces of casework picked up on a walk round St Stephen yesterday afternoon, now all reported to city and county councils.

Signed my first emergency motion at conference: reaffirming support for Indefinite Leave For Remain. People with ILIR are us. We are them. We are all a community. Their status is not up for debate.

Devastated to read about the terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester today. Hate and terror and division will never win. We are stronger together.

I remember having Lib Dems telling me Green Party was pointless because they were just as green. The proof is in the pudding: there is only one choice if you care about the environment and future generations: The Green Party. https://www.politico.eu/article/lib-dems-ditch-2045-net-zero-target/

This is the difference Greens in power can make. Give councils the power to cap rent increases, so they can help keep homes affordable for people in their areas. Well done Scottish Greens! https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/oct/01/scottish-parliament-vote-councils-cap-rent-increases

Here’s my highlights for September, it was a busy month of meetings as well about Local Government Re-organisation, Audit & Governance, Conference and more

Just our Labour MP for Worcester speaking at event sponsored by Cadent, a fossil fuel company, at the Labour Conference. Labour is in hock to big business interests: that’s why they can’t be trusted to take action in your interests.

Thank you to all the brilliant people who came on the Worcester Canal Group litter pick today. If you couldn’t make it, the next one is Saturday 25th October, 10:30, Lansdowne Park.

ID cards were a bad idea then, and they’re a bad idea now. They won’t solve illegal immigration. They won’t help fix potholes. They won’t fix our public services. From the Post Office, to the Police, to the NHS, we’ve seen the Government misuse, lose and sell our data. Say no to Digital ID.

It's the Worcester Canal Group litter pick this Saturday 27th September, 10:30am, starting in Lansdowne Park. All the equipment is provided, so please come along and help clean up.

A walk along the canal in Worcester always makes for a great start to the day. It’s our litter pick on Saturday - meet at Lansdowne Park, 10:30am, and help make Worcester a little nicer for all creatures great and small.

British things to be proud of: The Sunday Roast. British things to be ashamed of: People having to choose between heating and eating because the Labour Government won’t tax billionaire wealth. Tax wealth not work.

Why are the police allowing racist protest and violence in the UK, but arresting peaceful protestors and putting people in prison for joining a Zoom call about a protest? I've written to Tom Collins MP and West Mercia PCC John Campion to ask what they're going to do […]

So, just checking… Holding a sign saying “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” = not ok Calling for violence and overthrow of the Government = ok Have I got that right? Our news reporting and social media is complicit in the rise of fascism.

Now and forever, it is important we stand with our allies in NATO & Eastern Europe against Russian aggression. Fascism, totalitarianism and authoritarism will never win. We must wean Europe & the world off fossil fuels sold by dictators like Putin, for everyone’s security […]
