Dear @SuellaBraverman

You and your politics don’t represent Britain for me.

If you are reading this and agree, RT. Let’s send Suella Braverman a message.

[John Davidson @BL6John]

Campaigners behind plans to transform a green space in Inverness are hoping a refusal to sell them government land will be overturned.
They want to convert a field at Knocknagael into a community growing and recreation area.
