What better way to spend my birthday today than with the fantastic Cornwall Councillor Dominic Fairman for the official opening of the new Community Shop! Dominic and countless community champions made this happen. Always a pleasure to hear the St Breward Silver Band too! 🎺 🎶

🚑 Our precious NHS and social care have been the number one issue on the doorstep. I decided to stand in this election to try and rescue it. It will be difficult after so much Tory vandalism but we must now come together and get to work #BackBen #NHS #SocialCare #Bodmin #GE2024

🚜 Farmers are a hugely important part of our communities here in North Cornwall - yet they've been let down by this Conservative government (and our Tory MP) for far too long. We're fighting to get them the funding they deserve. Ben with Stuart Roberts former NFU VP🤝 #BackBen

Great afternoon spent yesterday at St Mabyn summer fete. Met lots of residents including Irina from Ukraine who told me her brave story. Her family have stayed in the country and she worries for them everyday. Ukraine has slipped right down the agenda - must stand beside them! 🇺🇦

It was great to meet Callywith College Principal Dr Jonathan Grey. Callywith has been a great addition to Bodmin and students and teachers sing its praises. Like other public services there are huge challenges such as funding shortages for transport and teaching staff. #Change

🔶 Straight out to Launceston for a canvassing session after this morning's BBC Cornwall hustings! Blessed with some wonderful weather today, and some even more wonderful receptions on doorsteps from Lanson residents. Incredibly positive feeling right across North Cornwall.

Fantastic day in Bodmin and Wadebridge! I hear time again - not nearly enough SEND provision here in North Cornwall. I promise I will fight every day to change that! I have experienced this with my own family in Cornwall and we won’t stand for it anymore! #BackBen #LibDems

🔶 Farmers here in North Cornwall face huge problems with Natural England when trying to reduce waste - things like new slurry pits to reduce pollution into rivers, and other barriers preventing them from sustainable, environmental farming.

🔶 A quick clip from this morning's BBC Cornwall hustings, where the topic of social care came up. It's something very close to my own personal life, and a key part of our For A Fair Deal manifesto. 🎬 Watch to hear what I and the Lib Dems will be fighting for.

🤝 Joined Minister @DanielZeichner today for a roundtable with local farmers to tackle bovine TB, & urged support for North Cornwall’s fishermen by limiting large vessels nearshore. I also raised concerns about the lack of public consultation on the Port Isaac Bay seaweed farm.
