Seconding a Motion on the blight of Supported Exempt Accommodation in Birmingham (12K+ properties & 30K+ people) - calling on the Government to do more with legislation to help regulate - with an example from my own #YardleyEast ward.

Even those who have benefitted from our electoral system can see that it is unfair.
Democracy relies on difference, not 100% majorities. It is clear that when our votes don't count, nobody 'wins'.

BREAKING: Cindy McCain, the wife of John McCain, just endorsed and announced she is raising money for Democrat Katie Hobbs for Governor in Arizona. This is huge.
Rural Devon has been thrown under the bus by the Government's new Local Government Reorganisation Plan.
I raised severe concerns about the plan, which would see Devon divided up into 4 unitary authorities, Plymouth, Exeter, Torbay and Rural Devon, and questioned the financial viability of the Rural Devon Council.
Sadly the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government replied with no specific comment on Rural Devon's viability.

We cannot allow more steel producers to collapse, more jobs to be lost or our last blast furnaces to go cold.
The Lib Dems backed emergency action to save British Steel. Now the Government must set out its long-term plan.

🚨NEW: Jimmy McCain, son of John McCain, is supporting Arizona Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs in her re-election campaign and will campaign for her this fall.
RETWEET to thank McCain for putting country over party!
The Government's handling of local government reorganisation has been chaotic and disrespectful to the communities it affects.
This is not devolution. It is a two-tier settlement that rewards urban Labour heartlands and punishes the rest.
After 16 years of Conservative mismanagement, Shropshire Council is rebuilding under the Liberal Democrats.
Rural communities deserve a fair deal too, not just cities.
