If I were a @UKLabour supporter I would be grieving the death of my party today. Socialist principles sacrificed on the altar of power whilst austerity is awakened and the poorest in society certain to suffer the most.

Congratulations Bishop Ruth 👏

Why are @BristolCouncil making life increasingly difficult whilst putting up council tax. The city will say no, they will do it anyway and then we have to enjoy a month's worth of dirty nappies overflowing across our streets in the heights of summer. bristolpost.co.uk/news/brist…

Leadership is the ability to create culture so that your team can thrive in their full humanity. @BreneBrown ❤️💯

The church has for too many become a place in which one must put on an armour of self protection and a mask of propriety. The Church must embody that for which it was destined - a place of boundless grace, relentless welcome and bold transparency. @churchofengland

£40Billion . The biggest tax raising budget of modern times from @RachelReevesMP . When I spoke on @BBCRB the point was made 'we don't mind paying more if the services are better' - well we better now hold them to account and ensure we see better services.

Clearly! Not acting like this has got to be a minimum, surly! Mike Amesbury urged to resign as MP after ‘bridge row’ altercation theguardian.com/politics/202…

For all who said @Conservatives were out for a generation...The Results of 105 Council By-Elections for 107 seats since the General Election: LAB: 37 (-20) CON: 34 (+15) LDM: 17 (=) GRN: 6 (+3) + Others Less than a year in and the reality of @UKLabour is turning the tide.

I've always held that @WestofEnglandCA has to include Somerset. This must include a new collective devo deal the benefits all of an expanded region. When standing in '21 I worked to agree a deal in principle with the then secretary of state @RobertJenrick bristol247.com/news-and-feat…

Yet further reason to celebrate @votedannorris leaving the @WestofEnglandCA mayoralty next may, it's time politicians deliver better services not just photo ops. New railway station only has trains once an hour - and it's quicker to walk bristolpost.co.uk/news/brist…

Sir Geoffrey represented a pivotal time in our political landscape in which tough decisions amidst an expanding world shaped our history. As a politician he was honoured and by family was loved. I'm personally thankful for his support of my campaign in '21 telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2…

A Regional Climate Bond for the West of England could mobilize community investment into local solutions like renewable energy, EV charging, and school retrofits. With 82% of UK emissions within local authority influence, it’s time for communities to lead the net-zero charge.
