We've won big this year - and our wins have forced the Labour government to change course. But we need far more and urgently. From climate action to an emergency brake on rents - we'll keep the pressure on to bring about the change this country needs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It was an honour and a privilege to be welcomed to Crossroads Women's Centre in Kentish Town and meet with women who have been fighting for change for so many years. The work women do is too often ignored and devalued - I gave my promise that as MP here I'll stand with them.

Even if you're not a hardcore Greenie, electing Zack Polanski would make UK politics more healthy because he would help to hold Andy Burnham's government to account. His influence from the periphery has already improved Labour policies. The Commons needs Polanski, so please help him to get elected.

✍️ Some words on my return to Parliament this week, including a huge thanks to all my constituents for their understanding and compassion while I've been working on my recovery from burnout. I've been blown away by your kindness 🫶 Looking forward to getting back into things. Onwards and upwards 💚
Zack Polanski and Carla Denyer huggingZack Polanski and Carla Denyer up Cabot Tower in Bristol, looking at the viewI want to say a huge thank you to all my constituents for their understanding and compassion while I have been working on my recovery from burnout. Thank you especially to those who sent me supportive messages during my time away, sharing your own stories of burnout and recovery, and words of advice. I have been blown away by your kindness. 🫶

I recognise that I have been enormously fortunate to have been able to take this time, and that many people faced with the same situation would not be so lucky. No one should be penalised for being too unwell to work, and no one should have to jeopardise recovery because of job insecurity. This is something I am determined to change.

As anyone who’s ever had serious health issues can tell you, recovery isn’t linear, but I am making good progress, so I will be heading back to Parliament this week on a phased return.I’m really looking forward to getting back into things and working alongside my amazing colleagues and inspiring constituents to make a positive impact together.
And so it was great timing that Zack visited Bristol again this weekend (appearing at Forwards Festival yesterday), and we were able to catch up over coffee this morning.

In a world where the UK government’s response to wildfires and droughts ravaging our communities is to temporarily ban disposable BBQs (whilst still considering expanding oil and gas production in the North Sea 🤯), the need for us Green politicians has never been clearer. There is much to do.

Onwards and upwards 💚
