Five years ago (eek!) I discussed #WalthamAbbey buses on BBC Essex.

It's not on the BBC Essex site but you can hear my clip on this page.

That's supper sorted.

And breakfast.

And probably lunch.

Who needs Domino's when we've got Pizza Tup?

Nobody wants to live with the knowledge that their driving caused life-changing injuries or left a family grieving for a loved one.

Can you help Waltham Abbey Community Speed Watch make sure that they won't have to?

#NoMowMay

[Dave Plummer - Waltham Abbey @GreenDaveP]

Less flooding, more oxygen, less pollution, more bees!

During May it's best
To let the mower rest,
Leave it in the shed,
And let things grow instead.

"It must be presumed he carried out his duties to good effect, we have no idea what he did. So, we thank him...and look forward to a new chair."

Pretending that new technologies will get us out of the climate crisis has a long history.

The Government are often guilty of it - and here the Mayor on the subject of flying is too.

A great thread with a history of why this is all dangerous ecoguff. 👇

[BBC Question Time @bbcquestiontime]

“I think it’s important to say they are not illegal, nobody is illegal”

This #bbcqt audience member says she’s “bored” hearing about MPs doing reality TV and is more concerned by the home secretary using words like “invasion”

Grim headlines today:
UK Govt doesn't care about climate
UN says no pathway to 1.5°C
Shell gets record-breaking profits
NI Govt attempt fails

Yet on days like this I'm reminded why I'm in politics.

If you don't like the current crop of politicians, stand to replace them 💚

[Dave Plummer - Waltham Abbey @GreenDaveP]

Please read this Twitter thread if you can.

It's the result of 12 years of Conservative government, the party most of your local Waltham Abbey councillors have chosen to align themselves with.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Yet another new conservative leader is absolutely not the change we need.

Nor is a Labour Party refusing to stand up for the changes we urgently need.

Our system isn't working - it's time to do things differently.

We need Proportional Representation.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Loved talking to @efgreens just now.

What a night to be talking to people about @TheGreenParty plans to win our next MPs.

A General Election is on its way - exciting to see local parties selecting candidates.

We've got work to do for the changes this country urgently needs!

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

At Tory party conference earlier this month, Jacob Rees-Mogg said that it was only “socialists and Caroline Lucas” who oppose #fracking. Certainly doesn’t sound like it based on Tory MPs queuing up right now to speak against and oppose their own Govt...
