This #IWD2025 I'm really honoured to be featured in @the-independent.com's Independent Women 2025: The Influence List alongside some incredible women - particularly the remarkable Gisèle Pelicot whose bravery in the face of trauma transformed the world's understanding of sexual violence.

Sunny forest one lap parkrun in Worcestershire. 'Bronze medal' finish after some tough hills. Great run and great atmosphere

- Green Party co-leader @adrianramsay.bsky.social on BBC Question Time: "Let's look at why Richard [Tice] was interrupting me so much. Could it be that since the 2019 election, Reform have received £2.3m in donations from fossil fuel interests, climate deniers & polluters?" <LOUD APPLAUSE> #bbcqt

Brilliant GREEN HOLD in Canterbury where Labour and Reform campaigned hard to win. Well done @canterburygreens.bsky.social 👏

GOOD NEWS: The Electoral Commission confirms HMG is talking to them about how to implement votes at 16: questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

I dream that one day drivers will give me as much space on the road on my bicycle as they do a discarded cardboard box.🙏

Gambling - an industry out of control doing enormous damage to individuals and communities, and a "regulator" that will not even tell the public what it is doing www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

GREEN GAIN, stopping Reform in its tracks. 👏 Congratulations to Warwick District Green Party. Clear endorsement while running the council.

I asked the Deputy Prime Minister if she would impose huge, remote unitary County Councils if that is against the wishes of local residents & how she can justify having County Councillors last elected in 2021, leading negotiations on the biggest shake-up of local government in the last half-century.

Over 5 million people have had their elections cancelled in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Thurrock, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The Green Party is urging the government to protect democracy and allow these long-planned elections to take place.

A staggering Labour Government decision: We will 'devolve' power to you by taking away your vote. Tone deaf! Government cancel elections in: - Norfolk - ⁠Suffolk - ⁠Essex - ⁠Thurrock - ⁠Surrey - ⁠East Sussex - ⁠West Sussex - ⁠Hampshire - ⁠Isle of Wight

13% is the joint second highest ever Green opinion poll rating @greenparty.org.uk

An exciting stat: Greens at 22% amongst 18-24 year olds. Bodes well for the future.
