A year ago I almost took the North Cotswolds seat, making this a super close marginal next time. With continued hard work and a clear choice now as to how to keep the Tories and Reform out we will win this next time! @LibDems

🌞🌞🌞 It's Private Members' Bill day! I promised action on the cost of living and to protect the environment. My Sunshine Bill would do both. It would force developers to put solar energy generation equipment on new homes. Good for the planet. Good for people’s pockets. 🌞🌞🌞

New fitness classes have launched today (Weds 18 Sept) in Up Hatherley, Leckhampton and St Pauls #Cheltenham for older adults. The weekly classes, delivered by Fit for Life, aim to improve strength and balance, reducing the risk of frailty, falls, and social isolation.
