I’ve been looking forward today for a while - the #WaveneyValley #Sustainable Communities Conference led by my MP @[email protected] and supported by wonderful people such as @[email protected]. I reckon there is around 100 here at Diss’ Corn Hall.

The defeated Tory candidate* in Waveney Valley writes on the Greens: "the air was thick with natural deodorant when such types poured out of Diss railway station each Saturday"

A step up from "unwashed"! Well done, everyone. We're moving the needle.

How the Greens conquered the countryside

Nearly a year ago, I wrote about the rise of the Greens in rural constituencies. Now, after standing as the Conservative candidate in Waveney Valley and losing to the Green party’s co-leader – while being savaged by the rural Greens – it is time to revisit the subject. I did not expect to come across

The Spectator
A weekend in Suffolk, just inland from Southwold in the Waveney valley. A beautiful part of the world. Now a Green constituency. Literally across the fields is the border of Suffolk Coastal. A Labour gain, Therese Coffey is gone. Hope and renewal restored. #greenparty #labourparty #waveneyvalley #ConservativesOut

2. How many of the #greens' expected 0-4 MPs could they get?

For a while they've had 1 MP, the exceedingly popular #CarolineLucas in #BrightonPavilion. But when she stepped down, could anyone else win it?

They have also been targeting #BristolCentral for a while, and then had some muted hopes about #NorthHerefordshire and #WaveneyValley.

The #ExitPoll had them winning 2 seats, which sounded like solid going given the circumstances.

But now the count has come in, they've won all four!
