Out with Cllr Chris Attwell delivering our latest survey to residents in Somerstown.

Busy few days out and about in St Thomas Ward

Ed Davey speaking passionately, above him is a quote that reads: Blocking MPs from voting on a US trade deal would be straight out of Trump's anti-democratic playbook. Labour MPs should make clear to the PM they won't let him sell out our NHS, undercut farmers or weaken protection for children online. Parliament must get a vote.

Parliament must get a vote on any US trade deal.

Blocking MPs from a say on selling out our NHS or undercutting our farmers would be straight out of Trump's anti-democratic playbook.

Out delivering our ‘Hands off Portsmouth’ survey in Central Southsea.

A busy few days of delivery, Ward surgery and Ward team meeting.

People are worried about Trump’s trade war and want to know what they can do to help.

The Government should launch a campaign to encourage people to Buy British and support our high streets, as part of a national effort to back British businesses.

iOS style notification reading - Don't cut the Digital Services Tax! - Scrapping the tech tax would blow a £5 billion hole in the public finances - meaning more tax hikes on ordinary families and businesses or more cuts to public services to pay for it.

It would be unforgivable if the Government goes ahead with cutting taxes for US tech barons to appease Musk and Trump, all while slashing support for disabled people and front-line public services to the bone.
