Darren and I met up for a drink at The Green Dragon yesterday evening, where we discussed my latest research into This Land, the housing developer owned by Cambridgeshire County Council 🏠

Our City Councillors have written to leader of Cambridge City Council to express our deep concern at the Government’s proposed Greater Cambridge Development Corporation and to call for a judicial review. Climate, biodiversity and local democracy MUST be protected.

The Green Party of England and Wales are polling at 49% among British students aged 16-21, an increase of 30 PERCENT. 🤯 The future of this country is backing Zack Polanski's Greens. 💚📈

Andy Burnham says he "can't judge" if the Israeli military's crimes in Gaza are a genocide. The experts already have. A UN commission, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and leading human rights organisations all agree: it's genocide. Andy, why won't you call it what it is?

Councillor @elliottonguk.bsky.social spoke to Dotty McLeod on BBC Cambridgeshire radio about the two big Cambridge development announcements this week. Greens will continue to advocate for strong local democracy ensuring local people have a say in local development. youtu.be/9tfixKlq32c?...

This is what real leadership looks like! So proud to be a member of @greenparty.org.uk 💚🏳️‍⚧️✊

Lib Dems still think they are the big opposition party on City Council and Greens are the small one. They consider they have a stronger mandate from residents than they actually have… 👇

NEW BLOGPOST: Government confirms go-ahead for Cambridge Development Corporation. cambridgetownowl.com/2026/06/03/g... Here's a response from Cllr Jean Glasberg ( @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social - Newnham) of @greenparty.org.uk . Given six Green gains, how will ministers respond on sustainability?

The Development Corporation is a Labour power grab. Cllr Jean Glasberg: "To ride roughshod over all objections and force though unsustainable growth at any cost is not just undemocratic, it is a reckless refusal to face inconvenient truths and could lead to irreparable harm to our environment."

The @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social are now the primary opposition on Cambridge City Council 💚 Sadly, it still remains under Labour’s leadership due to a deal they struck with the Lib Dems, who were happy to prop them up 🙄 If you actually want change in Cambridge, vote Green 🗳️

Cllr Sefira Davison on the City Council's response to the recent national government EHRC guidelines. Greens will continue to push Labour and Lib Dem councillors hard to ensure the rights of all marginalised groups are protected.

Breaking news: Greens will form the primary opposition on Cambridge City Council. Read our full statement here: cambridge.greenparty.org.uk/2026/06/labo...

Pride is not just a celebration, it is a protest. As the UK’s progress towards LGBTQIA+ rights continues to slide backwards, the Green Party stands in solidarity with the whole LGBTQIA+ community, marching on the streets, and fighting in council chambers and in parliament. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ ✊ 💚

Cambs STILL exporting household recycling 400 miles to Northern Ireland. Green councillors are calling for a firm commitment that Cambridgeshire will bring recycling back within the region, not in years, but as soon as possible. @darren-green.bsky.social cambridge.greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/camb...

Maria, Naomi, and I are working hard to make sure that all residents are getting a high quality of service from the council 💚 We recently chatted in a local café about casework ☕️

Earlier this morning, I chatted with BBC Cambridgeshire on the radio about my support for the @unitetheunion.bsky.social workers that are striking for fair pay in Cambridge 📻 It’s essential that we stand up for the people across our city that aren’t being properly compensated for their work ✊

Household recycling is in the news again in #Cambridge and #SouthCambridgeshire Why do the contents of our blue bins have to go to Northern Ireland for sorting? Other counties process it locally. Work needs to start on building our own sorting facility as soon as possible 🔧🗑️

Join us Friday for an unforgettable night of soul, funk, disco, and house music! 🎶 This event supports the Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Green Party's work for a sustainable, fair future. Everyone passionate about a greener tomorrow is welcome! 🌍💚 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/chez-le-fu...

We need a local sorting facility for our blue bin recycling in #Cambridge and #SouthCambridgeshire It's crazy that blue bin waste is transported to Northern Ireland just to be sorted 😠 New recycling facility for Cambridgeshire would be 'long process' - BBC News share.google/34BtEOLXm8B3...
