So excited to launch our local election campaign in London this morning. We’ll soon have hundreds more Green councillors right across the country. This election is Greens vs Reform - if you want hope, join us! Reform have £millions, we have people power and we really need you!
I have a corner in a studio shared with five other wonderful artists here in Walworth, among a collection of ASC studios - and this weekend our doors are open! 🎨
Come visit the studios, meet the artists, we’d love to see you!

Received my letter from the Southwark Returning Officer — I’m officially on the ballot for North Walworth 🌱
Proud to stand against neglect, displacement and racism — and for genuinely affordable homes and a council that listens ✊
Close race here — all help welcome. Let’s go ✅
Proud to support action with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: Pledge to Oppose Austerity in Local Government. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge...
Happy Easter everyone! 🌸🐣💐 (Getting in early with a some easter wishes - meet my furry family, Smokey, Carbonelle and Anu!)
It’s not loud, or triumphant.
It’s the long walk.
After a dark winter.
The weight carried,
the silence held.
The fear and sadness,
courage and grief
and loneliness,
felt by many.
Compassion —
for what others carry,
and for what we carry ourselves.
Peace,
love,
light.
A vigil with hope.
I unpacked what Labour’s headline pledges for Southwark mean in practice, given the council record — and the more I looked, the angrier I became. Housing, youth, safety, culture. My impression: surface level window dressing of a corporate show-home.

And we’re off! 💚
A fantastic launch with the amazing North Walworth Green team — standing with our community. Together.
Grateful for every person showing up, where we are, to make change possible, for everyone who lives here.
This is what hope looks like.
This is what change looks like. 🌱✊
Eid Mubarak 🌙
In Arabic, “و” means and —
(pronounced “wa”)
a bridge between words, people, belief, the planet, and between and amongst us all.
It’s a reminder that we belong to one another,
that our stories are all connected,
and that no one stands alone.
Wishing you peace, sending you love
❤️🙏
And we’ll keep this world from dragging us down, no we won’t back down... 💚🤘

Here in Southwark, we’re on the frontlines of this scandal. Thames Water prioritises shareholder payouts, and continue to pump sewage into our stretch of the Thames. Enough is enough. It’s time to take our water back into public hands.
Sick of sewage? Petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
Image is a screenshot of a reasoned amendment to the Courts and Tribunals Bill. It is signed by Siân Berry, Hannah Spencer, Carla Denyer, Dr Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay. It reads: That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Courts and Tribunals Bill because it is an inadequate and dangerous response to the challenges faced by the courts; it does not provide the correct solutions to the chronic backlog of cases in the Crown Court; it would not address the long-term underfunding that has led to the degradation of court systems, infrastructure and buildings; it would limit the crucial civil liberty and constitutional protection of trial by a jury of one’s own peers by removing defendants’ right to elect the Crown Court for all triable either-way offences; this change would cover a range of protest-related offences, and because protest rights and free speech, which act as safeguards against authoritarianism, have already been eroded by this Government and should not be limited further; jury trials build public trust and confidence in the courts and act as a space of shared civic responsibility that builds social cohesion; more effective interventions could be implemented that do not roll back fundamental rights, including expanding the use of ‘blitz courts’, increasing the number of sitting days, removing from the system cases that are no longer in the public interest to prosecute, increasing investment in legal aid, improving court case management technology, and bringing in more efficient processes to ensure defendants are brought to court and to the dock on time; and removing rights to judgment by one’s own peers may have the unintended consequence of increasing court backlogs through a rise in appeals.
🚨We have tabled an amendment to reject the Government’s sinister attempt to remove jury trials including for many protest related offences.
Our civil liberties have already been eroded by this Govt and should not be limited any further.
Greens are standing up against Labour's toolkit for tyrants.

Happy St David’s Day
A little advice from St David;
Gwnewch y pethau bychain mewn bywyd
Do the little things
Small acts of hwyl and kindness
Peace love and daffodils, from me and Carbonelle 🌼🙏❤️🌱
Civilians should never pay the price of military action, their protection is essential.
All parties to the conflict should respect international humanitarian law and prioritize the protection of civilians.
These truths are universal.

New space. Same questions.
Interesting times…
How do we build worlds where children are safe, dignity matters, and imagination and belonging aren’t a luxury?
