Tewkesbury Green Party: County Elections May, 2025
£3000 needed to pay for all the flyers to elect Tewkesbury Green County Councillors this May.

This budget shifts costs onto residents—parking, enforcement, reduced services—while offering minimal investment in the things that reduce inequality.
Social justice means protecting those with least power in the system.
This budget doesn’t get close. #GCCBudget2026

Introducing parking charges at rail stations risks pushing people back into cars.
If Gloucestershire is serious about climate and congestion, rail users should be supported, not penalised.
A fair, sustainable transport system starts with encouraging the right choices. #GCCBudget2026

Replacing big empty buses with The Robin can make sense.
But GCC is doing it as a cost-saving, not an upgrade.
We’ll push to ensure service levels rise — not fall — for rural communities #GCCbudget2026

This rant from the British newspaper columnist and broadcaster Melanie Phillips is insane. It is hateful. It is nauseating. And it is instructive.

Over 170,000 children living in temporary accommodation is a national disgrace. Children need safe, warm, stable homes to thrive - when will Labour grasp the nettle on this?

We need to unfreeze the local housing allowance and seriously invest in social housing, now.

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵

Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick | George Monbiot
The government’s new planning bill is tearing down environmental protections to benefit developers. This nation of nature lovers won’t stand for it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The frequency of disasters has quadrupled in the past two decades, yet the healthy ecosystems that naturally help reduce these risks are vanishing.

Investing in nature offers a smart, cost-effective way to protect lives and strengthen economies.

Green Party level with the Labour Party for the first time.

Let’s see if the media give the Greens as much coverage as they gave Farage when he didn’t even have MPs.

Robert Jenrick calls Handsworth "a slum".

The Prime Minister calls us "an island of strangers".

Real leaders know that there's culture in every corner of the UK when you scratch below the surface.

Real leaders don't punch down, they lift up.
