Brighton-loving. Views mine: passionate about social justice and action and responsibility for the Climate and Ecological Crisis.

Why are we still building housing developments with gas for heating, no solar panels on roofs and no cycling infrastructure?

.@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

so glad to see end of UKIP! and Advance of the Greens :)

[Joe C @Joe_C_London]

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.

[Bristol Green Party @bristolgreen]

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 👏

[Bristol Green Party @bristolgreen]

[Hastings Green Party @greenshastings]

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!

[Brighton & Hove Green Party @BHGreens]

💚 Congratulations Zoë John, your fantastic new councillor for Hollingdean & Stanmer, elected today. #GreenWins

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

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.

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

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
