Outstanding day at Exeter Pride today with my husband of 17 years. Everyone should be able to be who they wish to be and love who they want. There is no place for prejudice (implicit or explicit) in our society so everyone keep up the fight.
A huge thank you to the communities of Duryard and St James for re-electing me to serve them for another two years on @ExeterCouncil
It was a long day yesterday but it was wonderful to speak to so many residents.
Then this afternoon I am out in the beautiful Duryard hills, which I have represented since 2016. The views across the City from here still amaze me.
Less than three weeks to go to polling day
Good to be out and about in St James this morning. Lovely chats with residents and always wonderful to be in St James, the place I was first elected to in 2003!
Trumpโs war - backed by Badenoch and Farage - is already hurting people's pockets. We must act now.
Our plan to Keep Britain Moving would cap bus journeys at ยฃ1, wherever you need to go.
Good to be out knocking on doors in St James today with the team. Great conversations and plenty of support for myself and nice comments about the local @ExeterLibDems team.
So strangely walking into work was a little emotional today as I thought about the many memories of colleagues and patients past and present. I think I might have a glass or too tonight!
It's April the 1st but no April fools from me! Today has a different significance for me as 25 years ago I started working at the @RoyalDevonNHS and have had two and a half decades of the privilege of working with outstanding people and treating amazing patients within oncology.
Congratulations to Councillor Caleb Pell ๐ถ

Great to be out and about knocking on doors in Duryard with my Exeter @LibDems ward and county colleague Cllr. Michael Mitchell this morning.
Blue skies, an extremely warm welcome and excellent rock solid support due to our all year round action. Thank you for your kind words.
Great to be out knocking on doors in Duryard today. Warm reception for the local Exeter @LibDems team, as residents are appreciative of our all year round action. Lots of issues raised including road surfaces, weeds, bus services, broken benches, planning enforcement and more.
Wishing a very happy new year to Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese communities in the UK and to everyone who is celebrating the Lunar New Year.
May it be a time of joy and celebration for you and your family.
Liberal Democrats have been fighting tooth and nail to ensure local elections go ahead and that people can have a say on how their communities and local councils are run.
@EdwardJDavey has written to Kemi Badenoch urging her to call on Conservative peers in the Lords to back our fatal motion - which would block the government's plans and reinstate the cancelled local elections.
