I am driven by an insatiable compulsion to campaign for change - I couldn’t stop myself even if I wanted to 🤣🤣 Yesterday, the @CambridgeGreens were out in Abbey, letting residents know what Naomi, Matt, and I have been working on over the last year!
Campaigning for Sarah Nicmanis has kept me busy over the last couple of days! If you’ve ever been out doorknocking with me, you’ll know that I enter into a bit of a frenzy 😅 Here are some photos from yesterday’s big session! 💚
Sometimes, I see a road sign and its meaning is obvious! This one, for instance, is warning people to watch out for frogs - it could be called a “TOAD sign” 🐸 Other road signs are a little more ambiguous… This week, I’ve been learning about all of them!
Over the last couple of evenings, I’ve squeezed in another two trips over to Coleridge 💚 I get slightly drunk on the thrill of seeing how excited people get when they’re offered an alternative to the mainstream political parties, who they’ve long been disappointed by!
The @cambridge_yg are one of the driving forces behind the @CambridgeGreens’ recent success 💚 After our AGM the other night, where we confirmed our committee for the next year, we prepped some leaflets for students - nobody should be excluded from the democratic process ✊
I’ve had plenty of political activists ask me “why don’t you campaign for another party? There are lots that have more money than the Greens!” My answer is simple; none of them have any good ideas to campaign for 🤣 Over the last two nights, I’ve been out with Sarah Nicmanis!
Nearly everybody I speak to recognises that Cambridge is politically stagnant; yesterday, the @cambridge_yg were out chatting with residents in Coleridge about how we can bring about some real change! We capped off the afternoon with a drink down at The Rock, a great local pub 🍻
I’ve been having a spring clean recently, in order to prepare my workspace for a second year in local politics! After spending yesterday doing a whole bunch of reorganising, I’ll soon be working more efficiently ☺️ Photo: A recent trip to Coconut, a Sri Lankan restaurant in Abbey
I like The X-Men, a comic book series about how we should stand up to people that dehumanise others based on a shallow conception of what is “natural” - please don’t read into any potential subtext, or how anything related to it might be going on in the background at the moment…
The Chisholm Trail, which goes past Barnwell Lake, is an absolutely fantastic piece of work, supporting residents walking and cycling around Cambridge 💚 Sadly, the route is sometimes used antisocially, so I’ve been thinking about what we can do to make it a safer place!

And another Green, this time my friend and colleague @ElliotTongUK talks about the importance of listening to what people want. Politics as if people matter.
If we want to empower young people to get involved in politics, we need to help them consider what THEY, as individuals, want the world to be like! Everybody is unique; I think I’m valuable as a politician because I’m different to a lot of people, including other Greens 🥰

I used to think when someone died it automatically would be on the news. When my nan died when I was 6, I spent all night waiting for Trevor McDonald to report on it and tell the world the bestest lady ever was gone.
I can't wear my headphones and listen to music while I'm out walking my dog. It feels really disrespectful to her to not be fully engaged with what she's enjoying in the park, and chatting to her about what a good girl she is for finding a new tennis ball etc.
Curiosity took me on a short tour of Newnham ward on my way home, and I can report that the Greens seem to be well ahead on posters, with Labour in second place. Worth remembering, though, that a large part of Newnham’s electorate are students.

At our AGM this week we announced the new Cambridge Young Greens committee for 2024–25! We also used the evening to prepare our final batch of student leaflets for delivery ahead of the city council election next week.
American WW2 poster, suggesting that at times of Emergency, governments can try very hard to exert influence to reduce fossil fuel usage.
@ElliotTongUK @cambridge_yg @CambridgeGreens ...i.e. show students what #Localgov does in practice. (Then point them to local.gov.uk/our-support/co… - one to advertise to ARU students too)
@ElliotTongUK @cambridge_yg @CambridgeGreens Thank you for all your relentless hard work, enthusiasm, and great ideas. Young Greens are fab!
@ElliotTongUK @cambridge_yg @CambridgeGreens Worth trying out something new next year with #Localgov - eg organised site visits to newly-built council housing (perhaps w other student societies?) led by councillors/officers who can explain what new highly-sustainable homes are like, what to look for, & what residents think?
