Thank you so much to everyone who has urged me to run in the Tiverton and Honiton by-election. It is clear though that the LibDems have the best chance of winning the seat and I have no wish to split the left of centre vote...

... We desperately need proportional representation, but until then I believe non Conservatives need to work together in progressive alliances and galvanise around the left of centre candidate most likely to win. Best of luck to the LibDems in this election!

I work for a #homelessness charity in #exeter and each day I see desperate, cold wet, people come to us for food, showers and survival gear. Rough sleepers have nothing and no voice. I predict that no charity will comply with her hardfaced cruel plan

The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4

Morning @simonjamesjupp wasn't this an election promise for Exmouth? In fact front page news of the Journal the day before the 2019 election? What happened? Government names 72 high streets in England to share Β£831m recovery fund

My biggest donation was Β£5K from a corporation. It was incredibly generous of them. But earlier this week we gave it back because I have always pledged not to accept donations from big business... #GeneralElection2019

Wow. Of the Β£6.5 million or so of the large donations and loans received by political parties in the first week of the campaign, the Conservative Party received Β£5.6m of it, or 87%.

Really disappointed with Martha Kearney's interview with Kier Starmer. She's barely allowing him to get a sentence out, yet he remains very polite. Tory MPs become aggressive if they're interrupted even once and BBC journalists react by staying silent

Today kicked off with talking to 300 students at Exmouth Community College's 6th Form, then met @CapurrodDaniel from Sunday Telegraph who shadowed me for the rest of the day with photographer, #Exmouth canvassing, Clyst Vale Community College hustings, then more canvassing!😎

It's been an incredible political adventure and an absolute honour to serve my community for the past 12 years but it's time to pursue new opportunities... I endorse the excellent @JessicaWestHill as I stand down in the Devon County Council elections

Just popped to my car and was spotted by my neighbour's four year old: "It's Claire Wright! I love Claire Wright! Claire Wright should be the prime minister!" My year is literally made πŸ˜‚

Massive congratulations to the Green Party's Henry Gent who has taken one of the Broadclyst seats from the Tories! He will join @JessicaWestHill and my former colleagues @fremingtonfrank and Jacqi Hodgson on the non aligned group at County Hall. Great team! #LocalElections2021

Tories engineer closure of around 200 Devon community hospital beds because: "They're not needed" despite big problem with timely RDE discharges ... and then build a brand 200 bed new hospital (at considerable cost) to ease pressure on RDE/winter pressures. It's just outrageous

Hey @SW_Help this is the 8.08 from Cranbrook today with six crowded carriages reduced to three! Many ppl have been on this train for a lot longer than me. It's a rugby scrum and you're telling me there's several more days to go? Where's your risk assessment? @bbcdevon

I hope @simonjamesjupp sudden desire to rebel on Plan B for 'infringing civil liberties', means he will also vote down the terrible #PoliceBill which effectively criminalises peaceful protest. What's your position, Simon?

@simonjamesjupp Simon you must have given v wrong information by your party... the very reason why Ottery Hospital (and others)has been at risk is BECAUSE of the Conservative govt... Ottery ppl know this because they have a county cllr who tells them the truth.. Me! #GeneralElection2019

Oh, and the news has reached James O'Brien. Infamy at last for Simon Jupp! Mr Jupp thinks if he remains silent, we'll all forget. Not so...

He'll be 2019 intake. You don't even need to check. The people who watched the lying & cheating of Brexit & Boris Johnson & decided that was the life for them. God only knows what sort of flotsam will get on to the candidates list this time round.

@simonjamesjupp @exmouthjournal @sidmouthherald @DevonLive @radioexe @EastDevonNews @BBCDevon @heartsouthwest @itvwestcountry @BBCSpotlight Simon if you've read the consultation document (please see attached marked up image) you will have seen that the Fire Authority's proposals are a result of yr govt's austerity measures. Instead of bashing the FA you should be asking for more funding. I hear there is more money..

Tories plan inheritance tax cuts among others, leaving an Β£8bn hole in public services when one fifth of councils are already set for bankruptcy after the autumn statement. I propose a new law... jail for politicians who knowingly destroy public services, to retain power #ge24

Our Prime Minister defends an act which is utterly indefensible. From every single angle. He has also just endangered our national security further. What a government #notmyprimeminister

The police need to refocus their investigation into Boris Johnson. He's in it up to his neck. @carolecadwalla deserves a medal for her work and her incredible bravery. This is an essential thread. #UkraineRussiaWar

NEW: Boris Johnson awards Gavin Williamson a knighthood. Why *now*? In middle of Russian crisis? He was appointed defence secretary in Nov 2017 at exact moment, FBI revealed its Trump-Russia investigation began in London. Is this relevant? 1/

Our company have millions of LFTs available in the UK. All PHE and DHSC approved for self testing. Ultra competitive prices. We can start deliveries this week. Trying to engage again with the Government but it is proving more challenging than it should. dc @pandamedicalgroup .co.uk
