Before last year Topsham had never had a Labour councillor - now it has 2.

Delighted beyond words to represent a community and city that I love.

To everyone who voted for me: thank you 🌹😊

The greatest political prize is the chance to govern our great country.

For the Labour Party, this sadly happens too rarely.

Instead of confronting the challenges we face head on, we've resorted to puerile gossiping about who has and hasn't 'got the numbers.' How depressing.

[Cllr. Matthew Williams @exetermatt]

@forwardnotback This is exactly it, Tim. Being from the SW it frustrates me when some on the same political team as me throw us in with the rest of 'the South' and treat it as one homogenous mass

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too..."

Incredible game of rugby. Never in doubt from Ramos at the end... two poor ends to halves has cost England #FRAvENG

[Cllr. Matthew Williams @exetermatt]

These rugby kits are a bit like being in the opticians.. which one is clearer? Now? How about now? #FRAvENG

Great montage.. under Caldwell we had three cup runs, took Forest to penalties - but most importantly he kept us as a League 1 club with the budget he had. All the best GC.

Thank you for everything, GC ❤️

Matt Weston that run was unbelievable... well done!! 🥇🥇

[Cllr. Matthew Williams @exetermatt]

Exactly the right question from @GlennBBC there - Sarwar talks about distractions but then would plunge the Labour Party into a leadership election that would be in itself a distraction. Foolish politics.

[Cllr. Matthew Williams @exetermatt]

Where's the cue ball going?!?!
He'll be greatly missed, RIP JV 😥 https://t.co/mFBlKHGqhy

Looking forward to Saturday, and completely agree with this - in the absence of replays any solidarity with fan-owned clubs is hugely welcome #ECFC

@GermanEmbassy @en_germany Tübingen. Amazing town and the whole of BaWü was an incredible place to do an Erasmus year.
