🎚️ A gym has opened in Fishponds. It's disturbing local residents by playing loud music from 'dawn until dusk' - even though its planning application was refused 👎 No enforcement action from the Green-led council. It needs to get its act together www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

Bullying and harassment in the workplace is unacceptable. Demanding the names of councillors who don’t want to listen to gender critical people is an example of this. Thank you to my Labour colleagues and those from other parties who are prepared to make trans people feel safe in this city. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

"Reform want to ‘scrap net zero’, and the blue-collar green jobs that come with it. If you are making a living by installing heat pumps, fitting insultation, or working on wind turbines, tough luck: Farage would prefer you were on the dole." www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

Labour is massively expanding Free School Meals to half a million more children - including thousands here in Bristol - putting £500 back in parents’ pockets. That’s the Labour difference.
