Great to be joined by @GreenJennyJones at the weekend to campaign for #CleanRivers! Here we are testing for phosphates in Leominster.
In Herefordshire, agriculture is sadly the main cause of river pollution. We need better regulation & support to protect our rivers. @SaveTheWye

Great to visit Billy Lewis, 2022 winner of Soil Farmer of the Year award for his Herefordshire mixed farm. Excellent to see the growth in #regenerativeagriculture and to meet so many other farmers taking inspiration from Billy!

RT @GreenPartyMolly: Austerity 2.0 to give tax cuts to the rich
Socially disastrous as public services decline further
Economically disastrous as spending of public-sector wages withdrawn from economy
Especially bad for regional economies that need levelling up, where these are best paid people

A great example of action that benefits both #Climate and #Nature 👍

You might not believe me, but it's true.

Remember that only 0.0017% of the electorate voted Truss into power.
The #MiniBudget was designed to appeal to that tiny and completely unrepresentative group.
Hardly surprising that absolutely everyone else thinks it’s a disaster.
