Talking to voters in #Horningsea with #JamesBullLabour today there was one thing that residents agreed on, how poorly the incumbent LibDem councillors have handled development locally. #itstimeforchange

Astonished at the chutzpah of Stagecoach. Having agreed tenders for these winning bids, they contacted CPCA advising it they were withdrawing from these bids. Despite attempts by CPCA to negotiate, Stagecoach maintained their decision to withdraw

Stunning, evocative and lonesome ancient Eglwys Sant Baglan, nr #Caernavon.
Staring out across #Menai Strait, protected by its gnarled oaks.
Remarkably well preserved like so many Welsh church wonders saved by the amazing Friends of Friendless Churches #friendschurches.
Visit old Welsh churches!

People are telling me that they are emailing their MPs about this.

I agree that this is a good course of action. Everyone please email your MP and then comment below.

MPs need to know that the public are alarmed.

As we approach the festive period, I thought it would be helpful to share some details for essential services across North West Cambridgeshire:

📞 Key helpline numbers
🏠 Emergency support details
🗑 Updated bin collection days

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful Christmas and New Year!

Most of us will have a lovely time at home over Christmas and New Year. But home is not always a safe place for everyone. Remember that charities and council services are there to support people if they need it during the break.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Loved visiting traders in the city centre today for #SmallBizSatUK

We have a wealth of great local businesses across Peterborough.

And we need to do more to support them including reforming business rates and tackling antisocial behaviour.

I was out and about along @SaintsIpswich today for #SmallBusinessSaturday.

It was great to meet so many business owners, hear about their concerns, and discuss how we can build on their successes too.

Let's support our local independent stores this Christmas!

One more step towards better public transport in our region under Labour. 🚊

Looking forward to Mayor Dr Nik and I discussing with the Government how this can improve the speed, frequency and quality of our trains.

Daniel Zeichner is a good and honourable man. Farmers are being lied to by the rightwing media and believing the lies. Sounds familiar.
“I urge people to look calmly at the detail and I think they will find that the vast majority will be fine," he said.
"The figures from the Treasury are very clear: under 500 farms a year are likely to be affected…."
