The #Green Party now has nearly 200 more Councillors than Reform. You wouldn’t guess it from the news but it is true!

So thrilled to have these three new Councillors for #Devon ! They will be hard-working inspirational drivers of Green change.

Hey @steveracemp.bsky.social you haven’t confirmed you are attending the 2nd reading of the #zerohour #Climate and #Nature Bill in #Parliament on 24th January. I know you say you care hugely about nature - this is vital law for the future of our country. PLEASE SUPPORT IT!! Why not do so…? #Exeter

A beautiful little patch of snow up at Exeter University. :-)

Incredible frost pattern on neighbour’s car this morning. Beautiful!

Another stunning sunrise over the Exe today. Calm before the storm presumably… And the view only slightly marred by the visible pollution run off on the far side of the river… When will we get serious in this country about clean rivers??

Wow! Due to pushing from me at council committees #Exeter City Council is going to have an Environmental Social and Governance policy for all Council Treasury management operations!! #Green Councillors create Green actions! #endfossilfuels

The apocalypse is almost upon us! Crazy scenes in Red Panda in #Exeter as supplies of the epic Chilli Crisp is limited to 2 per person 🤣🤣 Phew- got my hands on one. But I’m not giving this away as a Christmas present, no way!

Stunning Hoopern Valley in the snow! Green Weekly Wins. :)

This is why we need nature based flood prevention systems. This is the Exe NOT at its absolutely highest DESPITE the huge flood relief channels in place in #Exeter. One in 100 year flood events will become increasingly common.. #naturerecovery

So enjoying reading Brotherless Night by V V Ganeshananthan. So horrifying to think how close in time to now these events were. No spoilers please! Haven’t finished it yet. Can ‘the good place’ be trusted with this plea? We shall see! #booksky

Beautiful snowy scenes - I took the ones in the stunning Hoopern Valley on the walk to work at @uniofexeter.bsky.social . I didn’t take Durdle Door in snow but it sure is pretty.
