Congratulations to @paulcotswolds.bsky.social on being selected parliamentary candidate for the North Cotswolds!
Anyone that knows Paul knows that he’s a tireless campaigner and has a record of getting things done. He’s also the person who got me involved in politics (don’t hold that against him!).

Yes, crime is down by any meaningful measure, but shoplifting being essentially legalised is bad and needs to be addressed because it erodes the very foundation of our society: you get what you pay for.
