Diwali represents the victory of light over darkness. In these challenging times, this means a lot to so many of us.
Although we can’t celebrate together in person this year, the spirit of Diwali still connects us.
Wishing a happy and peaceful #Diwali to all those celebrating.
In Essex it’s shocking that over 16,000 (70%) of our care workers are being paid less than the living wage. 🚨
They have been magnificent throughout this pandemic, putting themselves at risk every day to look after our loved ones, they deserve better.
Today our whole nation remembers and honours those who sacrificed so much in the fight for our freedom.
We thank all those who have served and continue to serve this great country.

#emptyplateprotest I arranged outside the #Rayleigh & #Wickford Tory constituency office. Mark Francois was nowhere to be seen obvs. Some of the messages are from school children. We also had a food bank collection. I’m sick of poverty shaming. No child should ever go hungry.
TOMORROW 10-11am outside Mark Francois’ office, concerned local residents are holding an empty plate protest & welcoming food donations for the local food bank. 25 Bellingham Lane, Rayleigh, SS6 7ED *Please wear a mask & social distance* #FeedtheChildren@Essex_Echo@MattC_Echo
We echo the calls from @Ivan4Harwich for ECC to step up and help ensure vulnerable children have food this October half term. No child ever go hungry whatever the circumstances.
🚨 Our group leader @Ivan4Harwich has called on Essex County Council to step in over funding school meals for children over October half term, after the refusal from government
