Not everything I post on here is party political or related to my role as an elected councillor, but when it is, it's promoted by Winchester Liberal Democrats, Bar End Rd, Winchester SO23 9NP
Fantastic news! And great to see a Winchester Student Liberals alumnus go on to greater things!

Brilliant conversation at @LibDems conference with @IanSollom @OllyGloverLD @Wera_Hobhouse @mpntod @Mohammed_Amin on "What's Happening to Men and Boys?"- it was full.
Key themes: Male role models, men's health and suicide, and, tackling the causes behind why men go to prison.

Since it's #BurnsNight tonight and #JaneAusten250 this year, I took the opportunity to post a speech I was asked to make to the 'immortal memory' that references both of them (as well as John Keats and Edward Young)! martintod.org.uk/2025/01/25/…

Disappointing response from the minister to my question about how funding for reorganising councils & forming mayoral regions will be handled
I will keep making the case that a govt dictated scheme should be fully funded by them or communities could see services cut to pay for it

Hampshire County Council is on Thursday this week debating asking for elections to be cancelled this year for administrative convenience. County elections have only been cancelled since 1900 for two world wars. What's your view? #Hampshire #Elections #DemocracyUnderThreat

Guess what - the EU 🇪🇺 also produces 41% more steel, 59% more vehicles, 39% more planes and 53 times as many ships as the US 🇺🇸
Of course, nobody will write about that.
When it’s China 🇨🇳, it’s sobering. When it’s Europe, it’s ignored.
