MR Not sure who @UKIP believe will administer the fines for their Burka policy. I won't. #Bristol won't.

Special time catching up with Paul Stephenson, civil rights pioneer and leader of the 1963 Bristol Bus Boycott. A mentor who has supported me from the beginning of my political journey, and continues to do so. @OpBlackVote @CllrAsherCraig @PeachesTweets @Ujimaradio @BCfmRadio MR

People are hurt and people are angry. I feel their pain and I share their outrage. What happened to #GeorgeFloyd & others like him shows we still have so far to go in the fight for equality, so we're lighting up City Hall purple 8-11pm to show our unity

Touching moment at ⁦ @bristolrovers ⁩ this afternoon as club and fans remember Dontae Davis, the #Bristol teenager who was stabbed and died on Oct 14. Picture up and fans applaud on 18mins. He’d worked at the ground. ⁦ @EmpireFightingC ⁩ ⁦ @CllrAsherCraig ⁩ MR

Fantastic to host @SadiqKhan in #Bristol today to share our ambitious agenda around the climate emergency and economic recovery - plus a bit of sightseeing! As mayors, we're working together to raise the voice of political leadership outside Westminster

👏 #Bristol is united behind Nick Anderton, and it’s amazing to see around £16,000 raised already to support him by football fans in our city and beyond 💈 @Official_BRFC – just let me or @KevinSlocombe know if you need any tips on shaving your heads

Powerful intervention by #Bristol ’s @alexberesfordTV : “Extraordinary moment GMB weatherman yells across set to interrupt crime debate”. I’d call it sharing insight rather than a rant:

Bristol’s hospitals and healthcare services are under huge pressure. It is everyone’s job to act now to help prevent more people needing medical help. The message is clear, stay home and save lives. #WeAreBristol
