A small clarification: I am quoted in a statement on the GCP making connections proposals. The statement is in a personal capacity, not as group or council leader, no votes in group or council have taken place this week. It’s been a busy week, with great conference & Mid-Beds!

Feeling deeply angry and frustrated this morning listening to news across the networks on Gove’s proposals for a “super-squad” of government planners being sent to Cambridge, when local leaders have still been told nothing. The lack of respect for local people is breathtaking.

Just wanted to say publicly that I am deleting Twitter from my phone. I am utterly horrified by Musk’s comments about Dr Fauci, so while I am reluctant to loose contact completely with Twitter connections I want to drastically reduce the time I spend on the platform.

RT @BenGoldsmith: If you are in charge of even the smallest piece of land, it’s important to remember that it’s the rough, untidy edges and corners that get wildlife through freezing weather; long grasses, fat hedges, wood piles. Ruthless tidiness makes life so much harder for wild creatures.

Brilliant thread! Please read this! 👇🏻
RT @RichardJMurphy: Rishi Sunak has claimed that to pay a 10% pay rise to all public sector employees will cost each household in the UK £1,000. This is what I call CRAp - which stands for a ‘completely rubbish approximation’ to the truth. Let me explain…a thread…

RT @RichardJMurphy: There are so many things wrong with what Sunak has said that it is hard to know where to start, but first of all it ignores the fact that about 5 million people work for the public sector. This payment would not cost them £1,000 a year.
