Gambling harms lives. Happy to support this cross-party letter from @dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social to give councils and communities the power to say no to more gambling businesses on high streets.

From #Richmond to #hamptonhill and #twickenham to #hampton EIGHT sets of Thames Water emergency #roadworks🚧 are happening across the borough. No wonder residents don't want Thames Water's Sewage Pump 🚱 scheme in Ham!

📣 You can now sign a petition against this proposal for closing #Shacklegate #allotments in #Teddington www2.richmond.gov.uk/Account/ePet... @rtgreenparty.bsky.social

Strange isn't it... the people who actually live in London overwhelmingly think it's safe.... almost like everyone else is falling for a lie

Can't help think about this having just skimmed the government's new road safety strategy

Grateful for the cross-party debate on dangerous proposals from Govt to scrap jury trials. Did my best to encourage Conservatives in the debate to own up to their role in creating the dire mess our courts are in, but got a very poor response.

This is an event to give Green Party members a chance to hear a story of a holocaust survivor. It a chance to learn about a dark period of history and ensure never repeated. actionnetwork.org/events/holoc... @andreefrieze.bsky.social @lgbtiqagreens.bsky.social @kailajay.bsky.social

A reminder to people discussing the government’s road safety strategy today, bereaved families and seriously injured crash survivors will be listening. The only goal for the numbers of people killed on the road each year is ZERO.

It's "absolutely staggering" that Richmond Council promised to look for alternatives to taking back the allotments at Teddington Cemetery, but they haven't: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Watch Green Cllr Caroline Wren with local residents on BBC London News: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

People living along polluted Thames file legal complaint to force water firm to act. Sewage dumping creating health hazards, bills soar, profits multiply. Possible buyers want no penalties for dumping until after 2040. Crisis deepened by govt refusal to nationalise, end profit motive.

My monthly round-up of some of my actions as the @rtgreenparty.bsky.social ward #councillor for Ham, Petersham & Richmond Riverside over the last four weeks. Here's what I've been up to during November 2025. If you have a query or an issue, email me via [email protected].

🚨 Campaign win! 🚨 Mayor Sadiq Khan pledges to review Transport for London's ad policy on polluter ads. 🎉 Here is the brilliant Caroline Russell's question for the Mayor along with his commitment. Scroll on for other key moments from Mayor's Question Time. 🧵 1/7 @carolinerussell.bsky.social

We need to ban ads on TfL that promote fossil fuels. I spoke to the Maor about how cities like Gothenburg already ban fossil fuel ads on public transport. Good to see the Mayor taking this call seriously. Shout out to @badvertising.bsky.social for the Southwark station campaign.

✈️💨 London is now the global city most exposed to air pollution from aviation. Yet - across the city's public transport - ads for cheap weekend getaways by plane have become the norm. 🤔 Here's why (and how) we are taking on polluting ads in London. 🧵 1/5 ℹ️: www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

🌍 We took over Southwark station last week, urging city leaders to lead on climate as the C40 World Mayors’ Summit got underway. We now need to keep up the pressure. ✍️ Write to Mayor Sadiq Khan to stop promoting pollution on London public transport: actionnetwork.org/letters/ba2d...

It's official: the #Thames has the worst water quality in the country. Cllr Chas Warlow: “I was genuinely shocked when I saw the high levels of pollutants in the samples I took." @chaswarlow.bsky.social #GreatUKWaterBlitz www.rtgp.org.uk/2025/11/tham... #StopThamesWater

I am horrified by the attack on the synagogue in Manchester on our holiest day, Yom Kippur, and the resulting two deaths. May their memories be a blessing. Wishing the injured full and swift recoveries. To all Jews - be vigilant, stay safe. Gmar chatimah tova.

Excellent statement from @ukfost.bsky.social on the flaws in the reasoning by the Palestinian Academic Committee for the Boycott of Israel (PACBI) for boycotting @standing-together.bsky.social: ukfost.co.uk/solidarity-w...

A recent TfL survey found only 16 per cent of people understand key Highway Code rules designed to keep everyone safe. So I’m glad to see TfL has taken up my recommendation to address the lack of understanding about road rules in the Highway Code -/-

👏 👏 👏 Greens 4 Palestine has stopped Jewish Greens from bringing @standing-together.bsky.social Palestinian and Israeli peace activists to speak at @greenparty.org.uk conference. Green 4 Palestine has also prevented Green Friends of @ukfost.bsky.social from having a stall at conference. 1/2

These posters were put up across Israel to call on soldiers to refuse to take part in an illegal occupation of Gaza that can only bring about more death and destruction. We cannot continue in this nightmare. Everyone must refuse this horrific reality! (1/2)

Got a query or an issue with Richmond Council or about our ward? Come to our councillor surgery today, 11am-12pm in Costa on Ham Parade.

Not building on floodplains is basic common sense as they’re part of the river. Every new home must protect people from both flooding and extreme heat. #ClimateEmergency #ClimateAdaptation

Defeated Green Party leadership candidate Adrian Ramsay MP co-led the Party to an extraordinary quadrupling of its parliamentary numbers at last year’s general election. Three cheers for Adrian! (Pse retweet to agree)

Ellie was excellent on Newsnight last night 🌱 Clear, credible, and focused on keeping our broad appeal so we can win across the country. 🗳 Don’t forget: vote in the leadership election by midday Sat 30 Aug 👉 ballot.greenparty.org.uk

I haven't voted yet... And I'm sure I'm not alone. 💚If you're a Green Party member, please log in and vote before the deadline this SATURDAY.

🔊 TfL is consulting on bringing the congestion charge in line with public transport ticket prices, which go up every year, while costs for people driving remain static. haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/congestion-c... I've responded today and you are welcome to use my response to shape yours. 🔗 in 🧵 👇

Well said, Gareth👏 Refugees and asylum seekers are welcome in Richmond - and the UK! www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co.uk/news/2536461...

> @adrianramsay.bsky.social on R4 Today very clear about the need for the Green Party to keep its distinct identity & broad appeal if it's to keep on winning even bigger under first-past-the-post. He and @elliechowns.bsky.social have shown they're extremely good at doing this!
