"I don't think at any time he thought he was breaking the law... he thought just like many teachers and nurses who after a very long shift would go back to the staff room and have a quiet drink" Tory MP Michael Fabricant urges Boris Johnson to apologise

Tonight Lichfield City Council will vote on a 2% rise in precept. In light of the cost of living crisis I will be proposing an alternative to freeze precept at 2021/22 levels. The increase is not needed and will hit family finances at the worst possible time. (1/4)

Just nipping to the shop to pick up a couple of bits. Hoping to avoid being set upon by a rogue Victoria Sponge or disaffected Colin the Caterpillar on the way.

I know that it would be totally out of character for Boris Johnson to lie but... ...Yeah he definitely didn't have 102.

I wonder how many people tweeting about the rail strike have actually spoken to the staff at stations? I have, because I went down to speak to them this morning: 🧵

This government ignored: Local concerns about #HS2 and went ahead anyway Local concerns about the mega development North of #Lichfield and overruled the local authority Local concerns about the Quarry between #KingsBromley and #Alrewas Don't trust them to listen on #fracking

This is absolutely disgusting. There can be absolutely no justification for such a crass and inappropriate tweet. This needs to be deleted.

First day out of COVID quarantine today, as I'm FINALLY testing negative! And straight into our regular @UKLabour councillors surgery at @thehubatstmarys . It'd be rude not to have a massive hot chocolate to celebrate, right?

Fabricant: "The buck stops here..." Everyone in Lichfield their breath holds breath... Fabricant "Which building is the new office going to be in?" Disappointing. Yet somehow disappointingly not surprising either. #OutOfTouch
