Huge thanks to Tarnerland for hosting me for their 'Santa & Songs' this afternoon 🎅 The nursery are doing some great work for local families, especially the disadvantaged. I look forward to seeing their new ideas for some of their space in the new year 🎊

So thrilled to see this 🥳 South Korea is my second home - they deserve the kind of peace and stability that Yoon Suk Yeol has proven he can't deliver www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Today is World AIDS Day, a chance to unite and remember those lost to AIDS and to support those living with HIV. I've just had a Lunchpositive to stand against HIV stigma and pledge to use my platform to push for action to end new HIV cases by 2030 in Brighton & Hove. ♥️ @thtorguk.bsky.social

Last night BBC South East did an explainer on the history of the i360 and Labour leader Bella Sankey spoke of her sadness about what could’ve been with that £51m.

£51 million is a debt our council could do without. An avoidable waste and monument to failure. With the challenges our city faces, how this useless donut on a stick was ever considered a sound use of public money is beyond me. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2475406...

A sad day for Brighton and Hove as the i360 goes bust. This will remain as a monument to the Green Party’s failure in our city.

It's full steam ahead on our Warm Homes Plan: 🏡 Up to 300,000 households to benefit from home upgrades ✅ Removing the 1m rule for heat pump installations ⬆️ £295m boost to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme next year 💰 Plans to make boilers and heat pumps more efficient to cut bills

It's been so gratifying to watch progress on this work escalate over the last couple of months - when we lived by the sea in Kemptown, it was our first impression of the city we'd just moved half a world away to dwell in, so wasn't a great first impression 🫣

In anticipation of a mass Xodus, setting up a profile here...
