Cllr Chloe Turner🌿 Stroud District Green Party In Cheltenham, young people can join the Planet Cheltenham Youth Climate Group

Greens have long called for suspension of arms exports to Israel so today’s announcement is a welcome & significant step, but leaves vital questions unanswered - eg why are so many licenses exempted? The justification for continuing to license eg F35s just doesn’t stand up

🚍Buses & transport is the theme for this week's blog. Following the loss of the 84/85 service, it's more important than ever to campaign for rural buses. On bus hub changes in Stroud, there's still time to share your views & free bike stands are available in the district!

Instead of "canaries in the coalmine" we should speak of "seabirds on the skerries": today sees 5 seabirds added to the UK Red List of "Most Concern", inc. Arctic Tern, Great Skua, Great Black-Backed Gull. Miraculous creatures all, sounding their warnings. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We cannot separate the economy and climate change. Today I tabled an amendment to the Budget Responsibility Bill that would require the OBR to consider the impact of fiscally significant Government decisions on its statutory net zero target.

The @UkLabour manifesto was woefully weak on nature and now the new government is already failing us Investing in natural capital gives fantastic returns, so this is an economically flawed decision as well as an ecological travesty☹️ theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Depressing but fascinating panel at The Green Party conference on plastics, biocides, the “cocktail effect” of these poisons for us & nature & the threat of anti-microbial resistance Great to hear of Natalie Bennett #BiocideBill coming to the HoL next week parliament.uk/business/news/…

Just a few of the #Stroud and #Gloucestershire Greens in #Manchester for the The Green Party conference this weekend 💚

Zane's Law on identifying & remediating dangerous toxic landfill sites passed unanimously by The Green Party conference! Great moment after years of tireless campaigning by Zane's parents Kye & Nicole. #GPC24 gives Kye a standing ovation as he thanks Natalie Bennett & other Greens.

And we followed suit at Stroud District Green Party Stroud District Council thanks to Beki - great to see this The Green Party motion for tackling contaminated land passed today in Zane’s memory and for the health of all children

Such a hopeful and productive weekend with this lovely lot (just some of our 800+ Green councillors), three of our brilliant new MPs - get well soon Carla Denyer - and all of the other 1200 The Green Party conference attendees. Thanks Manchester! 💚

I’m in the Chamber for today’s important debate on #WinterFuelPayment & will vote to oppose the govt’s inhumane & shortsighted policy. But honestly the brass neck of Conservatives wringing hands about poverty when they spent 14 years running public services into the ground…

I am sitting through the debate on Govt's cut to pensioners' Winter Fuel Allowance, appalled by the dreadful braying in the chamber. It's so disappointing how much time in the Commons is spent on Punch & Judy theatrics rather than working on solutions together. I can't stand it.

I'm attending a @stroudgreens event: Greening Education. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/greenin…

Some really helpful thoughts from Town & Country Planning Association in this blog. I’ve spent a lot of time in the last week looking at the government’s #NPPF consultation - a few good things, but a lot more scary things that would fundamentally change the UK’s landscape without delivering on key needs 😩
