On this day three years ago I was elected as a #Barwell Parish Councillor, as part of the Lib Dem team.
In those three years, I've delivered:
* Youthworkers for the village.
* Christmas/Easter parcels for people in need, as part of the Voluntary Sector Working Group I Chair. 1/3
Disgraceful that Rishi Sunak still has no plan to fix the crisis raging in the NHS.
Patients are being treated in hospital corridors, but this Conservative government either doesn’t understand or doesn’t care.
What a dismal speech from Sunak. It was nothing but hollow rhetoric - lacking any new ideas - and three of the five pledges are already forecast to happen anyway. It’s clear that the Conservatives are out of touch, out of ideas, and should be out of office.
So the MP for my area is currently speaking in the Recess Debate...about Artificial Intelligence.
An important issue, sure, but there are far more important issues facing the people of Hinckley and Bosworth.
Like our creaking NHS.
In fact, he didn't mention our area once.
Many thanks to everyone who came to help fill and then deliver the festive food parcels to elderly and vulnerable residents in #Barwell this morning.
Befrienders, Lions, Cllr's and Clerks.
Organised by the Parish Council's Voluntary Sector Working Group, which I'm proud to Chair.
'We will remember them.'
I was proud to do the homage at today's #RemembranceSunday service in #Barwell, as Vice Chair of @Barwell_PC.
It was great to see such a wonderful turnout.
Many thanks to all who played a role in the occasion.
'They shall grow not old...'
Tomorrow morning I shall be deeply honoured and humbled to read and speak those famous lines from 'For the Fallen' as part of #Barwell's Remembrance Sunday service.
As I do so I shall think of the service of my late grandfather's.
#RemembranceDay
Thanks to everyone who attended and organised this morning’s November 11th service at the County Council in honour of all those in Leicestershire and beyond who gave their lives in conflict
This #ArmisticeDay, we pause to remember and honour the sacrifice of those who gave their lives to defend our nation, our freedom and our democracy.
We will remember them.
The choice is clear in #Hinckley and #Bosworth, if you want to kick out the Tory and elect an MP who will work hard for you and for our Borough every single day, the only choice is Michael and the Lib Dems!
#LibDems
Boundary Commission have announced revised parliamentary boundaries today Bosworth set to be abolished & replaced by new Hinckley & Bosworth seat. The new boundaries are more favourable to #libdems According to New Statesman analysis Lib Dems would have been 2nd to Tories in 2019
Quite right this is an issue for many people here in #Hinckley & Bosworth too with over 1,000 households on heating oil. Vital for them that there’s a price cap. Thanks to #LibDems MPs for this initiative hopefully Tory government will finally listen
Looking forward to virtually attending @NALC's Empowering Communities conference today.
A great opportunity to discuss the vital role of parish and town councils in #LevellingUp, tackling #ClimateChange, promoting #civility and much more.

I'm really proud that Councillor @miketmullaney and myself are among the elected representatives to have co-signed this letter to the Prime Minister calling for a Universal #BasicIncome to be introduced to help people through the #costofliving crisis.
