Exeter Labour’s #GreatGetTogether celebrating having more in common than that which divides us. We decorated the Jo Cox plaque in Belmont Park with bunting - which everyone wrote their favourite part of our community on - and hung up hearts with messages for Jo ❤️ @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social

Sadly we didn’t get the result we hoped for here but I’m so pleased for James Cookson, our new Labour councillor for Topsham.

I’ve learnt so much standing for election for the first time and pushed myself out of my comfort zone. Thank you to everyone who helped and supported ❤️

One of the reasons why I’m standing to be a Devon County Councillor is because I want to use my personal experiences to help others.

As a young person with experience of SEND issues, I’m ready to be a voice for struggling children and families waiting to get support in.

I was really honoured to welcome
@marycreagh.bsky.social our Nature Minister to St David’s and Haven Banks yesterday to talk about the positive an impact Labour govt is having on our community.

Nature is a huge personal comfort for me, so I will always stand up for our beautiful landscapes

Big campaign afternoon in St David’s and Haven Banks today with @steveracemp.bsky.social and special guests @chriscurtis94.bsky.social and @benbradshaw.bsky.social

I used to shadow Ben on the doorstep when I first started canvassing so having him campaign for me as a candidate was a special moment!

NHS day of action yesterday with @rachelhart.co.uk and Ellen (alongside usual county council campaigning) getting the message out about @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social fixing the NHS.

Shift workers here are facing safety concerns because of Tory-led DCC switching the streetlights off...

They have also failed to fix sensors on lights that stay on all day - this would be the logical first step in saving money and cutting carbon, surely?

Nice of the Tories to turn up for the Employment Rights Bill today

Jumped into the sea for International Women's Day yesterday, raising money for the amazing @refugecharity.bsky.social! 1 in 4 women in England and Wales experience domestic abuse and it's a cause really close to my heart, so being cold for 5 minutes was worth it.

I've been busy campaigning as the Labour candidate in the upcoming Devon County Council elections for the St David's and Haven Banks division, trying to use my own experiences as a positive way to help others @steveracemp.bsky.social @paula4council.bsky.social @mrjohnharvey.bsky.social

Great to see our amazing Transport Secretary @heidialexander.bsky.social last night at the South West Labour Regional Conference in Plymouth. Passed on how well pothole funding has been received here after Tories on DCC have neglected for too long and having broken my foot falling in one 😬

When your human is standing for council and you have an important job supervising the leaflet bundling ❤️

One of my favourite parts of my community is Little Silver in the spring. The residents plant over 20,000 bulbs and you get a sea of purple crocuses in February time and then lots of beautiful tulips later in the spring. The loveliest pop of colour in the city centre 💐🤍

Managed to tick four countries off my 30 countries before 30 challenge this year:
