🌃 Bristol's Nighttime Economy employs over 116,000 people, makes an immense economic contribution, and has a world-renowned cultural output 📣 Our message to Bristol Green Party: there's still time for you to reverse your decision to scrap Bristol Nights www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

Cutting nighttime economy project is 'farce' and 'disgrace'
Bristol Nights is an award-winning project to support everyone who works and enjoys the city from 6pm to 6am

I'm proud to lead a progressive region here in the West of England, working together to deliver change that people can see and feel. Sadiq's right: a brave and bold vision of hope can build on the government's trade deals for jobs, breakfast clubs for kids, and protections for renters.
A Guardian opinion piece from Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, is headlined: "Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That's the lesson from Gorton and Denton."

Solidarity with @helengt.bsky.social. My heart goes out to all who are deeply affected by the allegations against Dan Norris. Positions of power are a privilege and must be used to improve the lives of others less fortunate than ourselves. This is what Labour values are about.

12,000 people signed our petition to stop the Greens’ plans for four-weekly bin collections. They now say they won’t make the move “at this time” However that’s not enough, they need to rule it out for good.
Text reads: Greens forced to scrap plans for monthly bin collection after Labour petition reaches over 12,000 signatures. Text is overlaying background of rubbish

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

To mark the UN international day of elimination of violence against women and girls, we marched through Bristol and held a vigil in solidarity. I’ve been going to these marches for years now, this was by far the biggest. @emilyclarkebristol.bsky.social @claremoody.bsky.social

@emilyclarkebristol.bsky.social and @lisied.bsky.social hit the nail on the head here. Gender-based violence is sadly not going anywhere and more needs to be done 🙌

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

There is no worthier recipient of the appointment of Alderwoman than @helenhbristol.bsky.social A life dedicated to local government up and down the country, and we were so fortunate to have her here in Bristol. A humble, collaborative and inspiring leader whose legacy will be remembered

Proud to have nominated my Labour colleague and friend Nicola Beech for the position of Alderwoman today. She served the city as a Councillor with heart, integrity and purpose. I wish her luck with what comes next

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵
