No 'Battle Bus' antics for us Greens! Instead, I took a 4-leg return bus journey (for less than Β£4 thanks to #Stagecoach #Flexi10) to #CotonOrchard to discuss how we can improve #publictransport WITHOUT destroying nature. #RealHopeRealChange

"I'm a life long Labour voter but this General Election I'm voting Green. If you vote Green you send a message to Labour..." @OwenJones84 explains how caring for the climate is good for the economy.

Skye here is a very lucky, well looked-after pussycat, but sadly many cats are not so lucky. Cats Protection you can certainly rely on me to speak up for cat welfare if elected in #GE24. cats.org.uk/manifesto #SpeakUpForCats #RealHopeRealChange for cats too!

Yes, she is right! And that is exactly why I joined The Green Party as my New Year's Resolution in 2023, and got stuck in volunteering. They do say that delivering leaflets is the Gateway Drug to standing for election - and look at me now! πŸ—³οΈπŸ’š #VoteGreen #GE24

Back to Exam Invigilating for me this morning! A wet 2-mile #CycleCommute and notably no kids on the cycle path today, just a LOT of cars dropping off πŸš—πŸš—β˜ΉοΈ. There is a bus alternative, but it's Β£2 each way for a 4-minute journey - WHY are buses not free for under-16s here? πŸ™„

This #GE24 won't stop us going ahead with our South Cambs Campaign launch for 2025 County and 2026 District Council elections. In fact, hoping to galvanise more volunteers and supporters than ever. actionnetwork.org/events/cscgp-a…

I had a lively discussion with fellow The Green Party member about EWR: he shocked that I'm against it. Told him to look up the CO2e comparison of construction versus likely CO2e savings from modal shift - a 60x disparity! Just one good reason to oppose cambridgeapproaches.org/ewr-bedford-to…

My personal copy of The Green Party's #manifesto arrived today (Candidates' privilege!) and I'm looking forward to reading it on my bus journey to #StNeots this evening ... πŸšŒπŸ“—πŸ˜

I first joined the NHS in 2002, when it was thriving on the huge investment from Blair's #NHSPlan ... there was then and still is a culture of continuous process improvement, but fundamentally a LOT of money is required just to keep up. #VoteGreen

I remember I was so excited for my first opportunity to vote when I was 18 ... I turned up to the Polling Station, only to be told that I was not registered! 😭 Back then, it was a paper form the previous Autumn which my Dad had missed. So much easier these days #RegisterToVote

Phew, I am no longer a Hustings Virgin! Thank you to those sharing content from last night, and of course to all who came. Especially to the Labour-voting audience member who gifted me an individual question on this pet topic of mine! #VoteGreen

Gorgeous indeed. Oh, how I'd love a stroll along the beach in the sunshine at Cromer right now! Got other important work to do, though: refining my Hustings responses, to spread the message that Nature and Humanity are interlinked and we depend on each other. #RealHopeRealChange

As I said last night: it's up to #SouthCambridgeshire voters this time to decide on 4th July who they *actually trust* to best represent them in Parliament. Six candidates to choose from. #VoteGreen #RealHopeRealChange

Soooo many Pledge emails to work through 😱 ... but some are just, like "Well OF COURSE!" The Green Party manifesto spells out our plans for a Fair Politics Act: not just introducing PR but also repealing Voter ID, giving the vote to 16-17yos, and much more. #RealHopeRealChange

Apparently @BrynleyHeaven and many others have judged me based on 20 words quoted by BBC out of context. May I kindly request that everyone judge my personal commitment to decarbonisation and public transport based on my everyday, real world actions? facebook.com/share/p/62Tvwj…

I've voted! No prizes for guessing who for πŸ˜‰ #VoteSouthCambs #RealHopeRealChange - the only wasted vote is one that is not cast at all, so whatever you do: just VOTE.

Ooh, so much good stuff in this week's Cambridge Independent paper - and I'm not just saying that because it includes me wanging on about water! πŸ˜‰πŸš°πŸšΎβΈοΈπŸ›€πŸ˜€

I'm proud to know Bob, and delighted that we've selected him as our Green Party Mayoral candidate. His practical, no-nonsense approach shone through in that first Hustings.
