Hey, @sianberry.bsky.social what's the @greenparty.org.uk position on this?

Could dog poo compost be used to grow fruit and veg? #Gloucestershire #BBCNews

So, Starmer's adviser held 16 undisclosed meetings with top US tech bosses. Is that serving the public interest or securing private benefit for others in exchange for the misuse of public power? #GreenParty #ukpol

I've been spending far too long reflecting on this old post over the last couple of days. 🙁 But the linked story within brought a smile. 🙂 listed.to/@eco_g/54818...

Whoop-de-do. The OPCC have referred me to the Monitoring Officer over my report on this months Police & Crime Panel. :( Sigh. I don't think they understand that Greens do politics differently..... listed.to/@eco_g/71196...

What with everything else going on with his new Green Party role and all, Mothin still makes time to get involved in his community's casework.... He's an inspiration to Green councillors up and down the land. :)

This all sounds familiar. Last month the Gloucestershire Police & Crime Panel backed a Green amendment to the Constabulary's budget demanding information on the work being done to address the inequity surrounding stop & search, arrests, charging decisions & use of force. listed.to/@eco_g/69870...

Stroud District Council have developed a voluntary litter code of practice. Cllr Gill Thomas (our litter champion) is keen for it to be debated in parliament and has started a petition. It now has 1,000 signatures. The link is below, please sign and repost. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Well done @helenelliott-boult.bsky.social, great result, I look forward to working with you. :)

I wrote a new post on anonymous credentials and how to build them. All of this is in service on a longer future post on how these will fit into age verification systems. blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2026/03/02/a...

Fantastic news. In terms of privacy and security with Android @grapheneos.org is pretty much the only credible option. motorolanews.com/motorola-thr...

Hannah Spencer was heading to Westminster today and told ITV News: "None of us are perfect but we're human and we need more humans in parliament who care about each other. I promise to always do my best, and always be decent, and I will always do you proud." #GreenParty #HannahSpencer

We mustn't forget that the Conservatives finished 547 votes ahead of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party's "Sir Oink A-Lot". :)

Pleased to be an extremist.

Go girl! What an inspiration.

Last night's result was a real team effort - and Stroud Greens were on the ground in Gorton and Denton, and on the phones, making it happen. Want to join in with the fun? join.greenparty.org.uk

Go girl! What an inspiration.

Just got in from a bash with Stroud Greens. Plus the sale of my business completed at 5pm. Plus it's Top of Pops 1979. What a day!?!!

☀️Sunshine really is the best disinfectant. For too long royal FOI exemptions have allowed royal power to act in the shadows, and conceal important truths from MPs, the press, and the public. They must be removed to tackle this systemic corruption.

My informal notes and personal comment from yesterday's Wotton-under-Edge Town Council meeting that I attended along with SDC Cllr Braun and SDC/GCC Cllr Linda Cohen. listed.to/@eco_g/70329... There's an option to subscribe via e-mail on the home page, normally a few e-mails a month.

Gloucestershire Police & Crime Panel: We didn't just wave the budget through. We attached recommendations. We wanted regular work-stream updates relating to ICT, Estates and New Operating Model. Also info on work to tackle inequity and improve trust in policing. listed.to/@eco_g/70218...

Well. That's a result. Sale cancelled. www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/glouces...

More than dismayed that a Gloucestershire auction house is holding a sale of Nazi memorabilia.

So, during the Mandleson debate on Wednesday in the House of Commons, about corruption at the very heart of our democracy.   Rupert Lowe, MP for Great Yarmouth decided to chip in:- stroud.social/notice/B33B0...

Following the collapse of the Berlin Wall many were championing the USA as a new global police force.  Bush and Clinton frequently talked of a "new world order" in which the US would lead and police an era of rules‑based international order.  ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

> Now, post-Brexit, the UK is uniquely able to seize this moment. Unlike our European cousins, we needn’t wait for the copyright directive to be repealed before we can strike article 6 off our own law books and thereby salvage something good out of Brexit. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Bluesky suspended my first Cllr account a month or two back. It may have been because I use Simplelogin so that US Tech companies can't track me and link e-mail addresses. I appealed but no dice. No chance to backup etc.

This is a thing apparently that law requires, so here we go: Promoted by Rob Brookes on behalf of Gareth Kitchen and Stroud District Green Party, at 17 Great George St, Bristol BS1 5QT.
