The future has arrived. More than a years worth of rain in one day. Who's next?

Shocking that the Conservatives have not even produced their manifesto for London yet - there’s only two weeks left for people to decide. #itvLondonDebate

People seriously have to 💚 #VoteGreen

Some good thoughts from Pippa Maslin as well as others, although the Tory candidate was absent.
The Green Party policy on #HammersmithBridge is the only one which makes sense. Zoë Garbett

Hearty thanks to Southfields Grid Residents Association for organising tonight's hustings for the candidates for the Merton and Wandsworth London Assembly seat. It was clear that a lot of time and effort had gone into making sure that the event ran smoothly. The opportunity was appreciated hugely.

If coral reefs die then so does the ecosystem which it supports.
As many as 1 billion people across the planet depend on coral reefs for food, coastal protection, cultural practices and income.

Increasing homelessness is also an achievement of your Lambeth Labour council in your constituency who have wasted £100s of millions emptying homes. You can't just blame the Tories when #labour are neglecting, emptying and demolishing homes and communities.

#VoteGreen
