Seven years ago the world came to London and we were SO proud of our country but now Brexit is a national embarrassment. Theresa May is trying to push through a deal that panders to her party's extreme fringe and Nigel Farage. Again and again,...

I am delighted that the hard work - over many years - of officers @Essex_CC , supported by officers @ChelmsCouncil , has paid off. The Government has - at last - announced a grant to build the new north Chelmsford station and bypass.

It's so odd that Govt funds free meals in school weeks but abandons them in holidays, with family budgets under more pressure. Chelmsford Council isn't education/social care authority, so has no formal role/funds for this, but can't stand by + must work with partners

Lib Dem-led @ChelmsCouncil will use emergency funds over this week’s half-term, to address holiday hunger among vulnerable children. The Council is stepping in because of the Government’s failure to act. More here: #EndChildFoodPoverty #FreeSchoolMeals

This attitude of Britain, that we can't help thousands of people in dire need, because someone whom we deem does not deserve that help might "slip through the net", is a sickness.

Fantastic to meet the creator of the dramatic #KnifeAngel @AlfieBradley1 in Chelmsford Central Park. Forged from 100,000 blades, it brings its anti-violence message to Essex for a month. Well done @Keepit100E & all partners

This is something I've raised in Essex - any Uni students who get Covid19 whose home is Chelmsford (but don't have a GP at Uni) are being allocated to Chelm's infection numbers.

Asked PM re Test & Trace technical glitch that attributes positive cases of students to home address rather than uni address. A quarter of new Richmond cases are affected. No answer on how Govt is resolving it & how they can track contacts quickly if data is going to wrong place

Hey @vicderbyshire - you should have asked Matt Hancock why it makes sense for hundreds of councils around the country to reinvent a system of supporting children in holidays, when there's a system in place for rest of year that cd be extended.

High Street Chelmsford was rammed for the stalls & Christmas lights. Well done to organisers @ChelmsForYou . Stage space at Shire Hall wouldn't have been possible if @ChelmsLibDems leadership of City Council hadn't invested in Tindal Square enhancement.

We're making cycling in Chelmsford more secure. Took some time but bike hangars now operational in the city centre. If these are successful, then we can look to buy and install others. Read more and download the app:-

Pandemic; more deaths + deeper recession than rest Europe. No Deal Brexit on 31 Dec = imports more expensive = unemployment. So Govt says let's trash planning process + council structures too. With other Coun Leaders I've written to Minister

@JamesUK22 @LibDems Errh no we can't. It will have to be spent on the things EU currently supports, like farming, development funds, university research etc. And not part of the single market which creates jobs for our exports
