Huge thanks to everyone who has supported me over 14 yrs as a councillor in the city & @tomdruitt &
I over the last 8years in Regency ward. It has been the greatest privilege to have represented this vibrant neighbourhood, the beating heart of the city we love.

@nikkibayley Nah, one day I’ll get it right. Find it difficult to ‘have it all’ and it seems women are criticised more than men for working / being away. They are also criticised for staying at home or doing a bit of both. We can never get it right 🤷‍♀️ xx

Not home yet, but was definitely worth the schlep to lovely Bradford On Avon and Bristol 🥰

RT @johnbirdswords: The government should have used this spring budget to acknowledge the cost-of-living crisis. They could have established a Ministry of Emergency, which should focus on keeping people out of the treacle of poverty. Please read my response here👇

Happy #8MarchWomensDay

Across Europe we’ve come so far in fighting for gender equality and women’s rights

But there’s so much more still to do

This #IWD2023 I’m hoping that my 1 yr old little girl manages to live a fulfilling life & has the same opportunities as my little boy

RT @johnbirdswords: Why is the Treasury always prepared to spend money when the crisis has happened, they don’t spend money to prevent the crisis from happening, that’s what we need now. We need government to be reinvented.

This is a huge step forward for kids in #London

By making free school meals universal, the stigma disappears & every kid will have the opportunity to fulfil their potential rather than feeling ill, because they’re so hungry
