Thanks to Minister for Climate Kerry McCarthy MP and our partner @sse.com for joining us for a roundtable on how Combined Authorities can deliver net zero projects last week.

Fantastic news for all in South Bristol! The difference a Labour government can make 🌹

Solidarity with @helengt.bsky.social. My heart goes out to all who are deeply affected by the allegations against Dan Norris. Positions of power are a privilege and must be used to improve the lives of others less fortunate than ourselves. This is what Labour values are about.

12,000 people signed our petition to stop the Greens’ plans for four-weekly bin collections. They now say they won’t make the move “at this time” However that’s not enough, they need to rule it out for good.

Happy International Women’s Day to our wonderful Labour councillors, elected to represent all the voices of Bristol.

📢 We've put forward our alternatives to the Green Party's budget for Bristol City Council (1/3) 🚽 Reopen public toilets 🚌 New night bus routes ♻️ Halve their cut to bin collection 🏘️ More council housing 🍽️ Cut the Meals-on-Wheels price hike by 10.5% www.labourbristol.co.uk/2025/02/18/l...

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

👏 Congratulations to Marvin Rees and Thangam Debbonaire on being asked to join the House of Lords 🌹 Labour’s changing Britain for the better - Marvin and Thangam will play an important role supporting the Government to deliver its agenda www.gov.uk/government/n...

To mark the UN international day of elimination of violence against women and girls, we marched through Bristol and held a vigil in solidarity. I’ve been going to these marches for years now, this was by far the biggest. @emilyclarkebristol.bsky.social @claremoody.bsky.social

Thousands of bar staff in England and Wales to be trained to spot spiking

Violence against women and girls is a national emergency. We need to keep talking about it and we won’t stop until every woman and girl in Bristol and beyond can live their life free from the threat of violence and abuse. www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

@emilyclarkebristol.bsky.social and @lisied.bsky.social hit the nail on the head here. Gender-based violence is sadly not going anywhere and more needs to be done 🙌

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

There is no worthier recipient of the appointment of Alderwoman than @helenhbristol.bsky.social A life dedicated to local government up and down the country, and we were so fortunate to have her here in Bristol. A humble, collaborative and inspiring leader whose legacy will be remembered

Proud to have nominated my Labour colleague and friend Nicola Beech for the position of Alderwoman today. She served the city as a Councillor with heart, integrity and purpose. I wish her luck with what comes next

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵
