MFW I'm thinking about where I can go to escape the heat.

Straight back out patting babies, kissing dogs and picking up casework. Green means you get hard work, year round.

Just did a local TV interview about Greens doing well in the Reading Borough Council elections with this as my location. No explanation offered or given.

Oo, they're really going at it now. Reform UK vs. Restore Britain.

MFW I'm trying to personally call every new local member to welcome them to the party and the number keeps going up.

Personally I have had enough of do-gooders, what we need is more do-badders.

And here's a much younger me - in a beer ad - also celebrating in kind. join.greenparty.org.uk

Just made a solemn visit to Mary Shelley's grave in Bournemouth. Wonder what she'd think about resting within ~50m of a Wetherspoons with a TKMAX on top named after her.

YouTube and @novaramedia.com royalty @nojusticemtg.bsky.social spotted @greenparty.org.uk conference. Hoping to hear more pearls of angry wisdom from her @greensorganise.bsky.social event later tonight.

You've inspired a few more verses in me @greenpeteru.bsky.social! Some a bit light, others a bit more wistful, but all hoping to illustrate the universality of the human condition.

That is a big gap between how much prices have gone up (+20%) and what some people are earning (+3.2%). Earnings in some places (e.g. Cotswolds) far outstrip prices. At this rate none of our kids let alone grandkids will own their own home without a trust fund. news.sky.com/story/it-sho...

Yesterday evening about 100 people gathered outside Reading Station to protest the forced starvation in Gaza, bashing empty pots. READ MORE:

Was at Redlands Primary School Summer Fayre today, cleaning out their bake sale. Imagine how many books our schools could buy if we didnt spend all that money bombing other people's children.

Another year gone by with the mercury soaring past 30°C on the solstice here in Reading. The public must realise that climate change manifests as inflation & cuts to government services. The climate crisis is the cost of living crisis. We cannot afford not to act. #showyourstripes

At one point on our cycle ride home from school today my six year literally threw his head back and screamed like this.

Cllr Dr Dave McElroy @davemcelroy.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

This was my attempt in this space. Currently Reform are getting all of their overlap and the Greens need to pick up enough little c conservatives to make the Tactical Greens feel safe.

I found a council 'No Ball Games' sign next to a decent size communal lawn surrounded by trees (maps.app.goo.gl/eRCKEKpr18uu...). As someone with a six year old I find these a bit sad, but am curious whether people still like them or think they are relic from when kids should be seen and not heard.

No elections in Reading so we headed over to South Oxfordshire to help out @greenjorobb.bsky.social and our fellow Greens. Hard-working champions, all of them.

A foray into Australian politics since it's heating up.

Why won't they do it? Because property wealth is only perceived wealth. A house of cards. Pop that bubble for the good of us all.

Wonder if this pot of Goblin Green will ever run out. They had the tech to stop the paints drying out 25 years ago, just saying...

That is a desperate headline. TBH I think this is just another example of where if the team winning the toss makes the right decision they win...

Labour waters down tax plans for the rich while mulling over cuts to disability benefits. All this on top of the winter fuel shambles. READ MORE: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... www.itv.com/news/2025-01...

On the drivel that passes for debate in the chamber. A health service on its knees and the best the government can offer is finger-pointing and arguing with the Tories over who told the biggest election whoppers. While people are dying in corridors. reading.public-i.tv/core/portal/...

The UK property market feels like playing Monopoly against a much older sibling: no fun for anyone but the person with all the wealth.
