Having been a school governor for 17 years @samerb.bsky.social he has learned a lot. Schools have supported children. there is a strong link between absence and attainment. Long journeys impact on absence. Families can choose school outside catchment. Dual school areas do not provide choice

Independent @samerb.bsky.social says on health and adult social care, the provision in four care homes, there is a family impacted by this from his ward. Wyndlesham Road is a care home for 5 women. This proposal needs a laser focus on outcomes for the residents #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove

It's unacceptable how some still call Georgia a "former Soviet state." By that logic, should we also refer to the United States as a "former British colony"? Georgia is one of the oldest countries in the world, with a history and identity that far transcend its time under Soviet rule.
