Exciting plans for @WalesGreenParty and @Plaid_Cymru to work together on creating Future Cymru Forum. An opportunity to build the case for a greener, fairer and inclusive independent Wales.

Much work to be done, but a positive and important first step.

All 13 @WelshConserv MPs voted in favour of fracking this evening.

Westminster isn't working.
Wales deserves better.

The UK produces the most plastic waste per person in the world, 2nd to USA. But because we can’t deal with all that plastic, the UK govt is dumping it on other countries. This is causing health and wildlife emergencies. @BorisJohnson act. #Wasteminster https://t.co/SjWof6jtXt

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

RT: We’ve delivered 625kg of plastic to Downing Street - the same amount the UK dumps overseas every 30 seconds - to deliver a message. Stop dumping UK plastic waste overseas and fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.

@BorisJohnson take responsibility. 1/2

Historic Green gain by Gabe Crisp. First seat on Adur District Council.

[Russell Whiting @walrus2005]

Congratulations to GABE CRISP.
First ever Green Councillor in Adur!

[Jonathan Bartley @jon_bartley]

A quick summary of the last couple of hours in terms of Green gains: Our first ever seat in Hastings, first ever seat in Derbyshire, gained SIX (so far) in Suffolk, one in Worcestershire and one in Braintree.

Still a long way to go but Greens are clearly on the rise.

[Molly Scott Cato is on Bluesky @GreenPartyMolly]

🚨Democracy alert!🚨

Government allowing elections to go ahead although it has banned campaigning

Labour and Tories will pay for leaflets to be delivered; smaller parties will lose out

Decision was made by Tories in their interest and represents a serious conflict of interest

[Russell Whiting @walrus2005]

This looks good.
Event is free and is happening tomorrow at 4pm.
