🧵 2/2 Since meeting Caroline back in August, I have filed an Early Day Motion in Parliament, calling for the scheme to be extended.

A quick update from me.

[Lee Dillon, MP for Newbury 🔶 @LeeRJdillon]

Budget reaction: Newbury needs more than promises—we need a solid plan for the Royal Berkshire Hospital! I’ll continue to keep the government’s feet to the fire for real action on social care, SEND, and affordable housing. #Newbury #Budget2024 #RBH

[Lee Dillon, MP for Newbury 🔶 @LeeRJdillon]

More about how the Budget will impact Newbury, including NHS funding, redevelopment of Royal Berkshire Hospital, & urgent needs in social care, SEND, & affordable housing. Newbury deserves more than promises—real solutions are needed.

Great to meet my new Select committee colleagues today. A real desire to hold the government to account without party poltics getting in the way.

[Cllr Martin Colston 🔶 @CllrColston]

@LeeRJdillon Excellent news. Great to see you on a Select committee already 👍

[Cllr Martin Colston 🔶 @CllrColston]

Great that @LeeRJdillon is standing up for pensioners in Newbury 👍🙏

[Lee Dillon, MP for Newbury 🔶 @LeeRJdillon]

Today, I’m voting against the government’s plan to cut the Winter Fuel Allowance for struggling pensioners. In Newbury, 16,395 pensioners could lose the £300 payment that helps cover heating bills. Removing this support is unacceptable. #WinterFuelVote

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

And that’s tactical voting for you. FPTP is an unsuitable system for such a multi-party mix and so picking your target seats well and engaging tactical voting can make a huge difference.

The Lib Dems in particular played a very smart game.

@Conservatives Your Brexit has been bad for farmers. And everyone else. Own it

[David Lister @_DavidLister]

So the final predictions still have it a 2-horse race between #LibDems and Tories in #Newbury.

Many predictions are within the error bounds so could still go either way. If you want change please do vote for #LibDem and #LeeDillon in #Newbury.

[Stephanie Steevenson 🔶 @stephaniestee]

Still trying to decide between #LauraFarris who let the water companies dump sewage into our rivers and the better choice @LeeDillonForMP then do listen to this!

[Cllr Rachel Bentley 🔶 @RachelBentleyNB]

Every vote matters in this historic election.

Electing Rachel Bentley as Bermondsey’s first female MP will not only mark a significant milestone but also shape our community's future.

Together, let's demand a brighter future for Bermondsey and Old Southwark.

[LibDems Abroad @LibDemsAbroad]

Today's the day!

The polls have just opened so remind your friends and family in the UK to go and vote.

Vote for a Fair Deal. Vote @LibDems.

[Layla Moran 🔶🕊️ @LaylaMoran]

With the amazing @SarahGreenLD in the rain in Chesham. So much support. She can win this, but we need people all day today and tomorrow. If you can go an help please do! Their office is on Chesham High Street can’t miss it.

Final plea from me….if you want to see the back of this terrible government vote #libdem in #newbury #Lee4MP ( you know…. the shower who partied while people died of a transmissible illness)
