With just 2 days to go until #PollingDay, it’s been an amazing 2 1/2 years of campaigning in #Truro, #Falmouth, #TheRoseland and the villages. Here are just a few pics of some of the amazing volunteers who’ve helped me bang on doors and speak to about 22,000 people along the way.
The lack of NHS dentists comes up over and over again when I talk to people in #Truro and #Falmouth. This is me on #BBCPoliticsSouthwest explaining Labour’s plan for: 700,000 extra dental appointments, prevention work in schools, reforming the defunct dental contract.
Our summer symposium helped us focus on a lot of areas for campaigning and progress, helped hugely by @DrJoGrady taking the trouble to attend in Cornwall in person #solidarity

A little story for a wet Friday night. Near my house I found a wallet in the road. When opening it I found a bank card, some cash, a library and a youth club card. And also a front door key. The person who dropped it is 14 and could be locked out so I set out to find him….1/6
I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…
At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..
It was comfy, it was quiet
In hindsight, too good to last…

By the time the last Labour government left power, people were disappointed if they didn’t get a GP’s appointment within 2 days of asking. Now it can take weeks. Time for a Labour government again.
It's my last day today as Local Democracy Reporter (LDR) for Cornwall and also the last day of my career as a journalist which has, almost, lasted 25 years 🧵
I’m quoted in the Big Issue on how we need to do more quickly on second homes in Cornwall. The government announces endless consultations and does nothing.

We’re frustrated to be back on strike this week. Our website explains briefly why action’s back on. https://t.co/TIc2UIBFUC we’ll be on picket each morning + staff and students have more inspirational teach-outs planned. Details on the website soon - all welcome! #ucuRISING
When Alan Sugar takes to Twitter to slag off Mick Lynch, that’s fine.
But when Gary Lineker tweets critically of government policy, that’s a breach of impartiality.
Are we all clear on the rules?
