It’s tough being in government. Fixing the mistakes of the last administration. Needing to reappraise promises. Perhaps we’ll hear less from Labour now about student fees/loans (introduced by them by the way). @LabourCrediton @CDevonLabour Certain degree of schadenfreude.

The safest way to celebrate #BonfireNight is at an organised event 🎇
But if you plan to use #fireworks at home, make sure you know how to keep everyone safe by following the #FireworkCode.

I’m at that point in my Twitter journey (sorry will never call it X) that people who I followed as I felt they had something important to say seem to have lost the plot. Have found unfollowing them makes my timeline mercifully shorter and more rational. 🤷🏻♂️

Out with the Liberal Democrat FOCUS team at Crediton Farmers’ Market. Interesting morning talking to residents about the Labour budget. Probably fair to say it’s divided opinion. Cllrs. Stone, Cairney, Downes and Perriman.

Conservatives betrayed farmers over trade deals and the botched transition to ELMS, causing huge hardship… so Labour had a great opportunity that, today, they have spectacularly missed. I’m determined that Lib Dems will be the voice that farmers and rural communities deserve.

In 2023 @Keir_Starmer looked farmers in the eye & said he knew what losing a farm meant.
Farmers believed him.
After today’s budget they don’t believe him any more.

Solar panels should be standard on new homes and all should be zero carbon - the climate and cost of living crises are for addressing now.

A new electric vehicle (EV) charger has been installed at William Street car park in #Tiverton. 🔋🚗
We now host 18 public charge points at our car parks and leisure centres, with Crediton & Cullompton next in line to receive a new rapid charger.

The Sunshine Bill will mean all new homes will have solar energy generation installed as standard. It means saving money on your energy bills while helping the planet - it's a win-win!

@Paulscriven are you really on the same side as Williamson? Where comes his new found commitment to democracy? Or is it he doesn't like the more social approach they take on issues? 1/2

It's not often that I am on the same side of the argument as Gavin Williamson. But on this I am. It's time to get rid of Bishops having automatic seats in the UK Parliament

There is an argument that of all the Peers the Bishops have the greatest claim to legitimacy. They have at least faced some form of election in becoming Bishops. A flawed election process perhaps but they are not patronage or hereditary appointments. Abolish them all!

Saw an amazing presentation recently at RD&E on using robots to aid surgeons. Existing theatres are not really designed for the robots so there are challenges. New super theatre would help address this. creditoncourier.co.uk/news/h…

"Privatisation should never have happened. 35 years of complete waste. £68bn worth of debt, £78bn of dividends, money that could have been spent on our infrastructure and that wasn’t." - @timfarron
It’s time to put the public first and fix this broken system.

“The Liberal Democrats believe wholeheartedly in our costed manifesto that there should be an addition £1 billion in the agriculture budget. We recognise we can’t restore nature, tackle climate change or produce food on the cheap.” – Thank you @timfarron

Is this correct or has their X account been hacked? Website still says 26th Oct.

2/2. We apologise deeply for the huge inconvenience that this causes.
We hope, however, that we can use the slight delay to our advantage & get even more people to #FloodTheStreets in central London on Sun 3rd Nov. Let’s make this a march to remember! ✊

Farmers should not have vital support removed simply because the previous government chose to withhold £358 million of the agriculture budget from the Farming and Countryside Programme. I asked the Defra Secretary today to confirm that he will not be cutting their funding.

We need a full industry overhaul and a stronger regulator to truly solve the sewage crisis. Liberal Democrats will push the government to go further.

“I would like us to think really hard and creatively in this place about how we can help even out our society, so that no one is raising a disabled child in a mould-filled home within sight of a millionaire’s yacht in the harbour below.”

Today we remember the 72 lives lost in the Grenfell tragedy. Survivors and families fought so long and hard for justice, and they're still waiting.
We must act now—remove dangerous cladding, hold those responsible accountable, and ensure this never happens again.
