27, Norwich, Green Party Field Organiser, City Councillor for Sewell ward, Deputy Leader of the Opposition at Norwich City Council. Lover of plants and pigeons 🌱
Delighted to be running yet another packed action day in the Rushmere St Andrew by-election.
Just one seat separates @thegreenparty.bsky.social and the Tories at East Suffolk Council and the race is neck-and-neck.
Lots of people impressed by Julian Cusack on the doorstep!

It's time we did something about rip-off rents - and my amendment to the Renters' Rights Bill would do just that. My column for @metro.co.uk ⬇️ #RentControls #GenerationRent

I’m sick of landlords treating renters like cash cows
It’s only fair that if the accommodation renters are being provided with isn’t decent, they shouldn’t be forced to pay for it.

I got so used to never ever posting anything on twitter because it became so pointless when the algorithm drives you to promoted content that I keep forgetting to ever post anything here too
It’s like I’ve got trauma from twitter

Norwich City Council doesn’t operate here but I’ve requested that they shelter rough sleepers on Wednesday night at the very latest when feels-like temperatures are set to hit, and drop below freezing.
They may say they wait for other authorities but they should take the initiative.

Contender for weirdest Christmas gift? A collection of allen keys (don’t get me wrong - I did mention at one point that I didn’t have enough)

I was really proud that we were able to win a change so that rough sleepers are given shelter *before* temperatures hit freezing, and during extreme weather.
It’s really disappointing to see the council fail at the first test and not recognise their mistake.

I think greetings cards as a whole are a complete waste of money and paper unless it’s for a proper message and someone you don’t see often but giving cards to your immediate family… I just don’t understand what the point of that could ever be

Despite rhetoric from the Labour government, local councils will yet again be forced to make cuts to services while increasing council tax.
We still live under Tory austerity even if it’s for a Labour rosette on now, and it’s the poorest that will be hit the hardest by this.
