I’ll be thinking hard and taking advice before making a decision, as I told @MattChorley.
Gideon Amos has given his maiden speech.
“From all sides of this house, we must always say no to those who would stir up division, despair, and hatred for nothing more than to get votes because they have nothing positive to offer people instead." @GideonJAmos
Look for where antifascists are organizing in your areas, join them, support them if you’re able. They will need numbers on the ground & Lib Dems should not fail to be counted among them
Pittville ward councillors Juan Carlos Garcia Clamp and @JulianTooke presenting a petition signed by local residents to Gloucestershire County Council, calling on the council to install a pedestrian crossing on Tommy Taylors Lane in Cheltenham.
Done jump racing, jazz, poetry, science, classical music & cricket but more Cheltenham festivals yet! Great to see fabulous @CheltPaintFest 2024 underway today, including many of the permanent murals that are turning parts of town into to a wonderful outdoor art gallery.
