After a recent trip to Norwich, I was eager to go back 💚 Yesterday, I headed over to campaign for Tammy Searle, who is working hard for local residents! She is legitimately fantastic, so please do go give her a hand ☺️

If you want a champion for your community, voting Green is always the best choice 💚 Maria and I have been out to speak with residents a lot recently, including yesterday, where we had loads of great conversations ☺️ Photo: Maria and I with daffodils that she helped plant 🌼

The @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social were over at New Shire Hall this morning to fight for improvements to our county’s highways, as they’re in a terrible state ✊ I was delighted to see over £700,000 invested into resurfacing Newmarket Road, which I was there to speak in favour of 💚

I travelled home from France yesterday, spending today getting a bit of rest 😮💨 I met such lovely people while I was there! Refugees are no different to any other person; like me, they enjoyed hanging out with their friends, playing some games, and watching Jurassic Park 3 🦖

I’ve had a fantastic weekend in both Calais and Dunkirk, where I’ve been working alongside organisations like Roots to support refugees 💚 The people I met here were wonderful and would be huge assets to our country’s community, but they are treated like demons by the UK media…

Last night, I travelled over to Calais with the Cambridge Convoy Refugee Action Group to help them with their fantastic work supporting refugees 💚 This morning, I was helping to check tents, making sure that they would be suitable shelter for vulnerable people in the area ⛺️
After a busy morning reading all about the news, I’m heading over to Norwich for some filming ☺️ More about that soon! Photo: Me out in Gorton & Denton 💚

ATAMA-HAN-E 🀄️ I am overjoyed to see Hannah Spencer (@greenpartyhan.bsky.social) become the Greens’ newest MP, as she is going to do an amazing job 🥳 Moreover, I suspect that our win in Manchester may be a defining moment in modern British history, a sign of what’s to come…
This morning, I’m preparing for a busy afternoon (and an even busier Friday) 🙃 Photo: Me out campaigning for Hannah over the weekend 💚

I’m sad that I can’t make it up to Gorton & Denton today to help out Hannah Spencer (@greenpartyhan.bsky.social) due to two big council meetings, but everybody is wishing her luck from Cambridge 💚 This is a battle between the Greens and Reform - let’s make sure the right side wins ✊

It was fantastic to see so many people out in Petersfield last night - local residents simply want to see Labour GONE 💚

Across the country, Greens are out in the community working hard for residents 💚 Yesterday, Maria and I were out chatting with people living on Ditton Lane, where we reported some fly tipping that we saw 🗑️ At least they put it right next to the bin!

I’m back home after an exciting weekend up in Manchester, where Hannah Spencer (@greenpartyhan.bsky.social) is fighting hard to bring some hope back to Gorton & Denton 💚 It was a long journey up, but totally worth it to support Hannah’s great work! I’ve now got to catch up on some emails…

Y’know what got me interested in finance? ‘90s MAHJONG COMICS 🀄️ I’m remembering some of my favourites while having a think about the city council budget…

Miranda and Lee have been doing great work down in Shelford ✊ I sadly wasn’t able to be at their recent Action Day, but I did pop over afterwards to chat about everything they’re doing 💚

Hannah Spencer (@greenpartyhan.bsky.social) is the very best that our party has to offer 💚 I sadly haven’t been able to make it up to Manchester yet, but I have been trying to help from home ✊ Last week, Chloé and I spent an evening phone banking, which I’m excited to do again tonight 📞
Image: Our letter. The character limit sadly doesn’t let me include the entire thing, however the key bit is this; ‘Police in Cambridgeshire have played a direct role in trying to enforce this unlawful proscription. As late as November, 15 protestors were arrested outside the Guildhall in Cambridge for expressing support for an organisation that the High Court has now ruled that it was unlawful to ban support for. Not only have the police taken illegitimate action suppressing free speech, lowering residents’ faith in them as a policing body, but this has distracted from tackling real threats to our community, including violent crime./ As the Police and Crime Commisioner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, we wish to know: will local police continue to conduct arrests in light of the High Court ruling; how many activists expressing support for Palestine Action have been arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 within our area; and what support will those previously arrested be given?’ ✉️
Today, the @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social county councillors have written to the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to challenge them over the enforcement of the unlawful proscription of Palestine Action locally 🇵🇸
At this week’s full council meeting, the @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social pushed back against Reform’s plans to cut support for Cambridgeshire’s most vulnerable residents 😡

Over the weekend, I was out planting trees on Dudley Rec with some of my Cambridge Young Green colleagues 🌳
The amazing Stephen Ferguson (@borofergie.bsky.social) joined us from St. Neots 💚 It was great to have his support!

On Tuesday, the @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social were at New Shire Hall to scrutinise next year’s county council budget 💚 Instead of trying to get the best for residents, the Liberal Democrats spent the entire meeting engaging in childish party politics - it was quite embarrassing to watch 🤣🤣

Have you checked out today’s issue of the @cambridgeindy.bsky.social yet? 🗞️ I’ll be discussing it in a few minutes on Cambridge Radio, where you’ll hear how my good friend Darren fixed up a memorial bench that was tragically vandalised last week 🔨 He doesn’t complain; he takes action ✊
The @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social are proposing to unlock up to £4 million in funding for schools across Cambridgeshire while introducing auto-enrolment for free school meals so that no child goes hungry 🍽️
Photo: Peter, Darren, and I with our budget amendment 💚
The @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social are bringing bold change to the county 💚 In our amendment to this year’s budget, we are proposing introducing a workplace parking levy, getting our city’s wealthiest companies to pay back into our public transport system so that everybody can get around 🚌
Photo: Me at the Greens in Power Policy Summit, where I’m pointing at the event’s slideshow 💚
The Greens are preparing to take control of councils up and down the country, putting power back into the hands of residents - but how do we actually DO that? It was amazing to spend the day speaking with other Greens about this important subject ✊
Showing how these ideas can be practically applied to our everyday lives here in Cambridge is important if they’re ever going to be widely accepted locally ☺️
