It gives…. Bridgerton

So my little niece wants colour changing lip balm - so I asked my youth/ adult make up specialists for recommendations. Sadly they are all autistic women. So I have a lot of details on the science of it. The lack of benefit of those lip balms as lip balms. No actual recommendations.

Omg what with all the election drama I forgot to share my very first councillor in a hard hat photo. Eight years of councillor life all told to reach the peak.

Elections don’t offer perfect choices EVER. If you don’t want to wake up to a Tory or Reform Mayor tomorrow. Vote. They didn’t think we could win the West Mids. We did. Because we didn’t stop fighting.

Brilliant cost of living help event for families at Tarner Family Hub with @brighton-hove.gov.uk @citizensadvicebh.bsky.social - amazing freebies - toddler book packs/ period products/ CO2 monitors and a supermarket voucher. Lasting solutions and immediate help provided. #CostOfLivingCrisis

Brilliant to have Minister for Social Care and Families @janetdaby.bsky.social in the city to meet our outstanding social work team and talk about the government mission for even earlier interventions and help.

Literally a bowl of sunshine on this rainy afternoon

Spent Sunday gardening like a normal human being for once rather than being burnt out from ludicrously punishing work/ council schedule that I chose for myself 😂

and so it begins… spring in my tiny back yard

Proud to attend the 30th birthday of Rise. Helping anyone in this city female led inclusive services for all survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

Good to work with @trevmu10.bsky.social to address issues of sexual harm on public transport across our city. And good to get this work recognised on a national stage. Looking forward to discussing further with @huxley06.bsky.social in due course.

When I became Mayor, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits. Due to our transformative policies, we’re now close to achieving it this year.

We believe we are the first local authority to implement a secondary school admissions priority for children on Free School Meals in #localgov - giving children in the most deprivation the most choice in education. Your income or postcode must not determine your future.

If it’s a drama over Yurts and Yoga, you just know it’s Brighton and Hove. Wouldn’t change a thing about us 😂🥰

Ohh good

How long does it take tariffs to prices go up in US\canada? Is it a slow burn thing or do prices go up in shop’s tomorrow?

Brilliant photo of the less dopey but more shy cat, Luna. In her cat cave staying vigilant but out of the way.

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Faux pink champagne by Kylie to celebrate the end of a long week with some great outcomes x

Photo of Tonks by my daughter for #caturday. She looks thoughtful but I promise you this cat hasn’t had a thought in her head since the day she was born. Apart from maybe when is food.

The only heartening thing to come out of the Trump spectacle yesterday is that I see people bitterly opposed on many issues in the UK showing full outraged unity on our support for those tough bastards in Ukraine who are taking one for the whole of Europe. God bless Ukrainians.

You are not alone. #SlavaUkraini

The proposals today are a compromise @timrowkins.bsky.social was something he welcomed. He attended consultation events and welcomed the views. He lives in Dorothy Stringer and Varndean and his son will not meet priority criteria. #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove

Part two and @huxley06.bsky.social says agency workers and costly emergency placements affect how children thrive and grow. The children and families budget is a success by thinking creatively by creating an in-house care home Rainbow Lodge. This will save money & bring families together #Ldreporter

We need to review home to school transport. For parents of SEND children transition is daunting says @huxley06.bsky.social She will continue to offer secondary transition surgeries. She believes the proposals have balanced competing points of view #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove

Cllr @huxley06.bsky.social speaks for parents of children with SEND. There are parents who passionately support and oppose. Amaze and PaCC were asked to organise events. Respondants were unclear about how to use priority 2. Communication is being revised from this autumn #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove

BACA has the only state funded cricket team in the top 100 nationally. The system needs to change. It needs parents who are comfortable to say it is not acceptable. She supports giving greater choice to children who currently have none. 5% will not give the same scale as 20% #LDreporter #Brighton

She was anxious about the consutation. Then wondered who stands to benefit and what about the schools which have a "bad reputation" she learned how Ofsted does not do justice to schools. She heard wonderful things about BACA and Longhill, such as astronomy night at Longhill #LDreporter #Brighton

Not NOW Germany, f**ksake. We are all dealing with a LOT right now.

The mental health pilot for secondary schools will also continue says @huxley06.bsky.social She is also looking at a youth strategy uses and most external funding. She is also looking at direct payments for families of children with SEND #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove

Cllr Daniel says the budget supports bringing children home for education and wants to bring more projects forward to make sure children are in county. @huxley06.bsky.social is pleased to see support for inclusive services for schools & the literacy services & support for family hubs.

Finished this - not sure what to do with it really. I am starting another Brambly Hedge inspired project just to keep practicing my stitch skills. I think after these I will do more abstract ones or insects again

I remember thinking that all grown women wanted oil of u/olay for every single present giving opportunity that came up. Christmas/ Mother’s Day etc. I think I thought you were truly grown up when you wanted that.

Work away day to talk strategy and nipped out lunch time to talk Labour on the pavement in George Street. (I am quite tired now).

Loving the bus shelter adverts we have placed. Such a great way of bringing attention to issues and changes in our city!

Watched the hostages being released this morning- can’t imagine how that poor man will cope with life without his wife and babies. All too heartbreaking.

Anti trans activists tried to use this evenings full council meeting to attack the #Brighton #Hove #Trans Inclusion Toolkit for Schools. Am happy that Cllr @huxley06.bsky.social stood firm and faced them down (again) 🏳️‍⚧️ www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/news/2018/tr...

Great to have Citizens UK petition about the city plan and the need for far more housing for younger residents- in their reach so that they can afford to stay in the city they love.

Julia Basnett says The council needs to rescind its 2021 resolution (1), which in-part states, "this council believes transwomen are women". Does the council recognise the potential harms inflicted on women and girls when policy is informed by belief rather than fact? #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove

Gary Vallier asks can parents, teachers and governors be assured that version 5 of the Toolkit has been amended, such that it incorporates fully all recommendations of the final report of the Cass Review, and complies with legal safeguarding requirements?  #LDreporter #Brighton #Hove

Brighton relative of Hamas hostage ‘filled with trepidation’ as ceasefire takes effect

ICYMI: Reprieve for Brighton school facing closure

Most ambitious project yet. I have to say you guys.. I am in love with her cuteness

Truly living in the future.

Lots of politics policy work done this week. Broke from Christmas like everyone but I did decide I needed “a little treat” and found these awesome rings in a charity shop! Love love love them
