.@bbcquestiontime Owen Paterson was sacked when he was environment minister by David Cameron and has called for the abolition of the #climate change act. It seems he has a track record of lobbying for vested interests? https://t.co/IednJiPnzW #bbcqt
Labour finishes as the largest party on the #LondonAssembly, but they finish down a seat.
Conservatives, Greens and LibDems gain one each.
UKIP loses both of their seats.
Marvin Rees has been re-elected. @sandyhruthven got slightly more 2nd preference votes, but not enough to win.
Bravo Sandy on a superb campaign, and thank you to everybody who voted for him - with many voting Green for the first time 👏
We’ve just been called to the declaration room in preparation for the final results of the Bristol #MayoralElections to be declared #LocalElections2021
Here are the first round results for the Bristol mayoral election, and Green Party candidate @sandyhruthven is through to the run off! He'll be up against Marvin Rees of Labour.
Hastings has its first Green councillor! Julia Hilton won in Old Hastings. We were so excited we forgot to take photos outside, so for now here's one of her signing the register. Hooray!
Tomorrow I’ll vote against #Brexit deal
At time of climate & nature emergency, I will not acquiesce in lower environmental standards
I won’t be complicit in creation of poorer, smaller UK with diminished global influence
There is no mandate for this

@kennorman@tomdruitt@BHGreens@bhlabour Dear Ken, what’s the matter with you? Let’s look beyond our immediate horizons. However privileged that may be... we have 1 planet. Only.
Dear councils, If you don't overmow or spray roadverges and green corners, you get wildflowers like foxgloves - a lifeline for pollinating insects like bees. Biodiversity is better than non-essential 'neat & tidy'. Let's bring nature back 🐝
I signed the petition calling on @pritipatel, @homeoffice and @BorisJohnson to accept and act on the lessons from the #Windrush scandal, so that it never happens again. Will you add your name too? https://t.co/8lhRUEE80t via @38_degrees
"I can understand that some people will argue I should have stayed at home in London ... I understand the intense hardship and sacrifice the entire country has gone through. However, I respectfully disagree"
Translation: I make the rules and decide when to comply with them
