I scrapped the mayor but didnt shoot the deputy🐪

I led the successful cross-party referendum campaign to #ScrapTheMayor #Bristol in May 2022! 🏳️‍🌈 Environment

After losing the referendum which mayor Rees made about himself and now his hypocrisy of flying 9000 miles to do TED talk on #ClimateCrisis it’s time for Marvin to do decent thing and #Resign before he does any more harm to Bristol or his own reputation!

Marvin’s mistake was to make referendum about him not the role by claiming achievements like 9000 homes but that wasn’t him it was developers & planning ctte and he should’ve included @GeorgeFergusonx’s wins too but he was too ego to do that

Mayor’s lost mandate so must #Resign

Today’s activity on the site comes as Bristol City Council-owned housing company Goram Homes has signed a deal with the Hill Group for the development which is due to contain 40% affordable housing https://t.co/XQKqpYcIgA

This was a very sad site to see at Baltic Wharf this morning. Around 70 trees are due to be felled to make room for 166 new flats.

@beardedjourno Yup a few mates from Sarfth Bristol has sent pics this morning! Filwood, Arnos Vale and the Chocolate factory I believe.

@stillawake @bristol_citizen So you’ll be backing the Lib Dems then both of you? Or have you fallen in love with the conservatives?

No wonder everyone’s leaving the bitter and twisted toxic wasteland of X if this is the standard of comment!

You reap what you sow and you’ll get Labour back just as you wish!

They have to show these. They like to redact but I am sure they are obliged to tell us where the money went.

@bristol_citizen @ChopsyBristol "What's it for?" BCC is spending an extra £4.2 million this quarter due to not having required fire alarms and other safety measures in place.

Having someone competent in charge should prevent that in future.

[Bristol Citizen @bristol_citizen]

@ChopsyBristol They're just about to appoint an exec director of housing on about £160k. They're appointing Directors of Transformation all over the shop. All this extra management will cost us a fortune. What's it for?

[Chopsy Bristol @ChopsyBristol]

When your council is pretty much bankrupt, but you get an annual salary of £191,843

[Andrew Lynch @andrewtlynch]

This is comedy gold. The CEO of @WestofEnglandCA says an arena is about to open. They haven't even started building it! How stupid does he think we are? Very, I suppose. He is a public servant. He should not have appeared in this promo. https://t.co/us8ojnWcla

@Totterdown_ If it ever goes back to a mayoral system again, the title will be inaccurate. And we do have a Lord mayor.

[Andrew Lynch @andrewtlynch]

@MrUnrevealed @votedannorris @WestofEnglandCA Somehow a pay rise has occurred without publicity, it seems. I don’t know enough about the mechanisms of WECA. But it would have to be approved by three council leaders. As @stillawake points out, 120 hrs a month is 30 hrs a week. When did it become a part-time job?

[Teejay @MrUnrevealed]

@andrewtlynch @votedannorris @WestofEnglandCA Interesting.. I've been saying that he was on around £178,000 with being the WECA Mayor & being an MP, when in fact he's on nearly £185,000.. Points West report about his £20,000 a year pay rise taking his pay from £67,000 to £87,000.. what is it with Labour Mayors a pure greed.

[Andrew Lynch @andrewtlynch]

Well here is the register of interests for @votedannorris. Surprises? His @WestofEnglandCA salary is £7798.33. X 12 he is on £93,579.96. Not £87,000 previously made public. Quite a big leap from when he started, £67,000 according to reports. He also has time to chair a charity!

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

This - from Private Eye - illustrates why it was reasonable to question the sentence lengths given to the Stop Oil protestors @RestIsPolitics

[Mary Page 💚 🏳️‍🌈 @Mary4WECAmayor]

Dear @Kier_Starmer_PM When will you tell Dan resign from @WestofEnglandCA? You’ve previously said MPs should not have second jobs. The West of England mayoral role is not a part-time holiday job, it pays £77,000 on top of MP basic of £91,346.

Will Dan’s dog be left running WECA?

Count Binface announces he's standing in Richmond against Rishi Sunak – though still not at ease among humans, the power-hungry candidate from another world said he looked forward to meeting Binface

Welcoming me back to City Hall today for the first time since Asia, a councillor told me absence makes the heart grow fonder. Funny, didn’t feel an ounce of that about this place. #321AndHesBackInTheRoom

[Andrew Lynch @andrewtlynch]

Nothing says @marvinjrees has switched off like choosing to attend a Lords event than Cabinet. Disrespectful of his office, never mind council taxpayers. Could this hurt @ThangamMP in #Bristol Central?Could his legacy be a lost Labour seat?
