That sinking feeling when you arrive at the station and your train is cancelled. Get me home at your own chosen speed eh? 🥴

This is why Bedwell matters

It’s moments like this I wish I was still on Twitter and I could tag all the relevant people. Top work Stevenage Labour and Cllr Dermot Kehoe - wherever you are on this platform bsky.app/profile/elec...

This reminded me of when Bill McLaren used to exclaim “and they’ll be dancing in the streets of Sedburgh/Barnard Castle/[insert player’s independent school] tonight!” every time an international rugby player scored a try bsky.app/profile/nyti...

Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.

How many of us are thinking “if only I’d taken a trip to Runcorn, I could have found 6 votes?”

Special prayers offered for all the campaign organisers today. They never get the glory. But today will be HARD. You’ll have earned yourself a drink and a good nights sleep by close of polls.

Back in 2016, our landlord wanted our house back so we were looking for somewhere else to rent in NE Herts.

The house opposite came up.

It went on the market at 9am. By 10am, they had 20 viewings lined up.

This has an impact on my views on housing policy.

This might be a South Dakota thing? My parent bought a three bed semi detached in the English Midlands in 1972 on two teachers’ salaries, at the age of 24. Not possible now, but they were never getting a *pool*.

Great to gather with so many friends, community leaders and organisations for an incredible Iftar with our Muslim community 🤝

I’d like to thank everyone at Stevenage Muslim Community Centre, for their hard work co-ordinating the event 👏

Lol I knew where Circle Pines was: my parents lived in Lino Lakes (albeit 7 miles away because everything is bigger in the USA….)

I had to look up where it is as it’s very close to where my parents used to live. It’s opposite Eagle Brook Blaine! In a small rectangle that Lexington seems to have annexed from Blaine….

Great to be out knocking on more doors across the weekend in Shephall and Broadwater 🚪

This gives me a chance to meet more
residents and pick up local casework 🗣️

I’m also encouraging everyone to #VoteLabour on Thursday 1st May in the Herts County Council Elections 🗳️
