#Knutsford folk: our Councillors have no strategy & didn't even bother to turn up for this informative and very well-supported event Good to see fellow-Green Carol Goodwin, and of course Nigel Hennerley. #VoteGreen to protect our countryside & develop real, sustainable strategies in Cheshire East.

The prospect of a green-themed book club didn't excite me, until I saw the choices for our first book: Wilding by Isabella Tree This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein or How to Save the World for Free by Natalie Fee. Interested? Let us know!

If you live in Congleton North Ward, have you voted today in your Town Council by-election? Your vote could get Chloe elected - and there's still time. VOTE GREEN!

If you want change - vote Green. If you want Tories in turquoise ties - well you have that option. Vote today if you have elections in your area!

I've just driven through Wales (bear with me, there's a connection). What a joy to meander safely along with the new speed limits looking after us all and saving petrol. Where there's a will, there's a way. Labour could do both "tomorrow", but chooses not to. #VoteGreen

I love being a Green when colleagues talk like this "There's 45% poverty among children in Hackney and [Labour] are messing around with attack vans with messages about the Greens. "People are thinking 'I can't feed my kids', they're not looking out the window at attack vans."

If you're not watching West Ham v Leeds, you are missing a treat... Leeds 0:2 up at 92 minutes. 2:2 at the end of normal time and extra time. Now penalties. Oh, and yes, West Ham's substitute goalie (aged 20) has just had to come on.

The vile antisemitic attack in Golders Green yesterday morning was absolutely horrific.
"Hate like this is becoming normalised. This sentiment was
echoed on all sides of the House when ministers gave MPs an
update in Parliament today, which we were pleased to hear. We
welcome the Government's commitment to replacing the
ambulances and maintaining a visible policing presence in
Jewish communities.
No one should feel unsafe because of who they are, their faith,
or where they live. We must stand firmly against antisemitism
in all its forms, wherever it appears.
We need to make sure all communities feel safe and
protected. Now is the time for solidarity with our Jewish
friends and family. We cannot allow fear or extremism to divide
us. Our communities are strengthened by our diversity and
when people are unable to live in peace then we are all much
worse off."

I talked last night on Green Party policy on alcohol and other drugs. 💔 @childrenssociety.bsky.social say maybe 46,000 children, as young as 6, are used by criminals in County Lines gangs. Heard personal stories of suffering, pain and death from addiction. 💔 Current policies are not working. 💚💚💚

Good to meet up with our Councillors, local campaigners, organisers and members old and new. Both John Knight - elected to Cheshire East Council in the by-election in November, and Michelle Parsons, newly elected to Middlewich Town Council were there - after winning to making hope normal again.

Remind anyone you know who lives in Cledford Ward, Middlewich to VOTE TODAY. They don't have to be green-leaning, just want Michelle as their Town Councillor in preference to some ReformUK candidate. (Don't worry if you don't know if they live in the right ward... just ask them anyway!)
