“If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky.”

Today district and county council leaders and chief executives met for talks on unitary and devolution.
I set out the need to listen, understand our different views constructively for the good of Gloucestershire. I look forward to working together in the coming weeks and months

It's important that men occupy this space, call out inappropriate behaviour and guide our fellow men and boys.

I believe we must keep Gloucestershire as a county intact: there are some suggestions of splitting into more than one authority, but this would be wasteful and we need to keep the county together #LocalGovernmentReorganisation #UnitaryCouncils #Gloucestershire

I spoke in Westminster on the importance of cycling infrastructure to our rural constituency, and the need for long-term integrated planning.
Having received complaints from residents along the route of the existing cycle spine, I called for greater public engagement and improved implementation.
