How do we fix this mess?

Cllr Chloe Turner @minchchloe.bsky.social · Jun 22

We have a leadership election coming up in the @greenparty.org.uk It’s a strong field, but for me the future of our party clearly sits best in the hands of @elliechowns.bsky.social & @adrianramsay.bsky.social, who have shown how to win & use power to secure positive change #TogetherWeWin

The candidates in the @greenparty.org.uk leadership election are all inspiring leaders, but I’m backing @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social because they’ve blown me away with what they’ve achieved in Parliament in their first year 💚

Good to join you at the table at the first meeting of the Emergency Board @minchchloe.bsky.social
Thames Water does not deserve the £3bn gift from the Govt. They have failed and must be put into #PublicOwnership NOW!

Great to hear from @renishaw.bsky.social Stroud Brewery & Howard Tenens, & other #StroudDistrict businesses about their fantastic sustainability work at the Local Strategic Partnership today. A reminder that we can vote with our feet by spending our 💰 at our many great, ethical & local businesses

New lows for the government today, with the aid budget slashed and no UK minister sent to the Rome nature convention 😰

I’m enjoying Pentire and soda. A lot of Lucky Saint & Guinness Zero. And some of the white wines & sparkling are bearable.

Many thanks to @lawsocietygazette.bsky.social for publishing my article on access to justice:

Justice denied

Law For Change was born out of frustration at the wretched state of public law enforcement in the UK.

So now we have it. Rachel Reeves's claim that a third runway at Heathrow Airport would boost economic growth comes from a report commissioned by .... Heathrow Airport. Instead of acting in the national interest, she's channelling corporate lobbyists.

Reeves’s Heathrow third runway report was commissioned by London airport

The chancellor is under fire after a study cited as evidence for expanding the terminal to boost the UK’s economic growth was ordered by Heathrow itself
