@brian_p_k @bbcweather And Quinton!

.@bbcweather Never mind Florida, Newport in Shropshire looks rather breezy today, according to the app.

It doesn't have to be like this. @TheGreenParty can't yet fix all these problems or have all our solutions taken up. What we'll keep doing though is growing rapidly the grassroots movement of people joining us who know better is, and must be, possible. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Keir Starmer's 'investment' in unproven technologies like carbon capture won't deliver the real change we need. Only the Green Party has a plan to bring down bills AND emissions fast.

@GreenJennyJones I'm still here Jenny!

My number of followers has gone down by more than 3k in the past month and I know others are experiencing similar reductions. Has anyone worked out what is happening?

Can’t see a GP - blame MPs & NHS England Core funding for GP Practices has been cut by £2bn since 2016, enough for an average practice to employ 2 GPs, a Practice Nurse & more admin staff Instead £1.4bn on ARRS ~ additional roles but no GPs or Practice Nurses Patients need GPs

Labour is going back on its plans to radically reform the water regulator! 🤯 @EllieChowns told the @Guardian, Labour need to reverse Conservative cuts and give the @EnvAgency the funding it needs to protect our environment

Must watch on House of Commons reform @EllieChowns Dr Ellie Chowns, "As a newly elected member, I'd like to offer observations on three elements on how this house operates: sitting, speaking and voting" ➡️ Sitting - Chamber is too small - In Council and in European parliament we had own seat, desk, plug in devices - Extraordinary there aren't enough seats for every MP There is a practice of Christian prayers, as a daughter of preachers I am familiar with this. But in this day and age where we are a mix of all faiths and none, it might be time to represent a range of faiths ➡️ Speaking - If we have more time limits more MPs would be incentivised to speak - Trying to get a slot, bobbing up and down, last week I did for five solid hours without getting attention of the speaker - This is not good for a democracy - Find a better way of allocating speaking time - The culture in this house is everything from excessive deference to braying, we need to clean to clean up politics, we are here to debate in as positive a spirit as possible ➡️ Voting - It's extraordinary we do not have electronic voting - While I've been here I've participated in 5 votes, that's taken 1.25 quarter - If you add up all the votes thats 1.5 months of MPs time, totally unproductive - If we got rid of the voting lobbies we could double the physical size of the chamber (everyone could then have a seat) "My final point, if we want to be a truly modern house of commons: proportional representation"

It's so wonderful @TheGreenParty now have a group of MP's in Westminster to stand up for people and planet. Including, @EllieChowns of North Herefordshire! There's never been a better time to join our movement for real hope and real change: join.greenparty.org.uk

The Green Party has laid down the first 10 steps the new Labour government must take in their first 100 days to show they’re serious about changing Britain ⤵️ What do you want to see them do first?

@claret_rain @UKLabour @TheGreenParty Welcome!

Well I held my nose and voted @UKLabour but after 40 years in my heart I no longer recognise the party . Today I have joined the @TheGreenParty not for a selfish reason but for my Grandchildren. The old style of politics is finished. Everything starts with our natural world.

@EmmaWill83 @SeftonGreens @TheGreenParty @NeilDoolin1 Welcome!

Joined the Green Party 💚🌍🌿🌱 @SeftonGreens @TheGreenParty @NeilDoolin1 now to get involved!

@Uditha_Desilva @TheGreenParty Welcome!

As I promised myself back in January, I've just joined the @TheGreenParty - hopefully as a part of the coalition of voices reminding Labour that progressive voters DO have someone else to vote for.
