No surprise that yet again a Conservative government fails to recognise the importance of the Women & Equalities brief.

A reminder for those that missed it that the Conservative MP for Totnes, along with all his Conservative colleagues, voted against removing the stamp duty cut on second homes.
The Tories will not do what it takes to prioritise first homes over second homes (property investing)
RT @timfarron: Tonight, I tabled an amendment which would have exempted second homes from the cut in stamp duty.
The Government should not be helping t…

Thanks @Feargal_Sharkey for asking why @SouthWestWater isn’t releasing data on sewage dumping.
This was the Dart at sunrise this morning (chilly but invigorating). If elected I will not stop campaigning on this until sewage dumping ends.
Our rivers, fish, swimmers deserve better

A Lib Dem amendement that would have prioritised first homes over second homes.
Defeated tonight by Conservative MPs.
Thanks for trying Tim. We will keep trying.
RT @timfarron: Tonight, I tabled an amendment which would have exempted second homes from the cut in stamp duty.
The Government should not be helping the second homes boom which is stopping young people from being able to afford a first home
Sadly my amendment was…

@TOTNEZ PR has always been. We don’t have a manifesto yet so not sure about nationalising but I fully support bringing all utilities back under govt control - water, rail and energy. Absolutely wrong for anyone to make a profit from them

Another prime minister, stitched up in back room deals
The Conservatives have trashed our economy, pushed health services to the brink, and added hundreds of pounds to people’s mortgage payments.
And now they’ve installed another out-of-touch PM
We need a General Election NOW

RT @mikegalsworthy: International press, including US press (see below) covered the first national rejoin march that packed Parliament Sq on Saturday…

It’s a key moment.

Fantastic to see so many people at the #MarchForRejoin today
Brexit has shone a light on all that’s wrong with our system, with our democracy. It was never going to work. It is not working.

RT @Tom___Scott: Green MEP @TerryReintke: "The European Parliament is completely united in this message: our door remains open...you have built the biggest pro-European citizens' movement all over Europe."
Huge cheer from packed crowd in Parliament Square.

Is this the point at which Conservative MPs who actually care about our country stand up, find a backbone and vote against the ERG cabal that delights in ripping up the very fabric of our country?
Of course they won’t.

Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.

Not surprisingly a great day’s doorknocking… People keen to chat. Everyone despairing at the chaos.
“Anyone but the Tories” was the most common refrain

Very disappointed to see Totnes MP @AnthonyMangnal1’s name on this list of MPs voting for fracking
RT @LibDems: Conservative MPs are backing a Government of climate-deniers who are hellbent on ripping up green land for pointless fracking.
Can you see your MP?
