My first outing on @BBCSPSE - huge thank you to the team for having me in the studio. Pleasure to talk about the issues that people care about in my local community: from accountability of elected politicians to potholes!
We're really excited for our 1st in-person event of 2022, launching results of our latest #WIPASurvey with @OpiniumResearch, kindly hosted by @CiceroGlobal. Our excellent speakers include @emilyfermor & @rosbragg. Register below-we can't wait to see you https://t.co/SgsgUO9WRE
Votes belong to people not parties. You don’t steal them you earn them. This flawed view is why people’s faith in politics is eroding.
And exactly why @joswinson is who we need right now. So proud to have been part of fab #joinjo team @benrathe@saramosavi@emilyfermor &more
@normanlamb Thank you Norman, and thank you for all you're doing, working with colleagues across the house in the national interest to bring this divided country together. You're a true liberal & I wish we had more like you.
@UKPrideNetwork@danophile@jammyholt Amazing! Thanks so much all. The power of social media! I will join the facebook group and can't wait to start organising the first pride march in Maidstone for 2019!!
@Jo_Frazer Hey Jo - I mentioned you in committee last night. I was appalled the papers said “currently we do not have any connection with the LGBT community locally” when we have LGBT staff at MBC!! Do you have any connection with any LGBT staff groups at MBC by any chance?
Calling the LGBT community in Maidstone - please get in touch, we’d like to do a bigger celebration next year and we need your help. Followers please share far and wide - tell your friends 🌈💌 https://t.co/D0gXgXWldu
(Sorry next year not this year!) also, @MaidstoneMuseum is holding an event on January 31st to celebrate LGBT in Maidstone so keep an eye out for that!
...recruiting an arts and culture manager who will be ultimately responsible for bringing together people to help organise a pride event this year. So I will continue to apply pressure and make sure a working group is set up in the new year! 🌈
Just to update all you lovely people who offered to help! I mentioned you all at the relevant council ctte last night. Officers told me they had received no interest from the LGBT community so I put them straight! (Pardon the pun 🤓) I have been told we are..
@joecollettcramp Hi Joe, 100%, would love to chat. I’m a bit tied up for the rest of the day but could you give me a call over the weekend? I’ll send a DM with details
What message does this send to every woman in this country who was made redundant, demoted, pushed out, by an employer while she was on mat leave? “The Government doesn’t give a toss about you either”. Disgusting.
Just how low will your govt stoop @theresa_may? When @andrealeadsom delayed proxy voting motions, she *assured* those of us who were pregnant that we would be paired when necessary. Today your govt broke that agreement - @BrandonLewis paired with me but voted. Desperate stuff.
