Cllr Trevor Muten

This week we ended the two child limit. In England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Great to hear from parents, @Alison_S_Taylor and @AberlourCCT about the difference that change will bring to every corner of our country.

Last night @jtworr sat and peddled the idea that our NHS is broken beyond repair. His solution? A system that would leave patients paying through the nose for even the most basic appointments. My solution? Rebuilding the NHS, so that it's always there for us when we need it.

@bhlabour @TrevMu10 The Green Party in Brighton and Hove should own this mistake and apologise publicly for the misuse of public funds. £47m could have been better used not least helping to fix our local housing problems.

My message at Davos is clear: Britain is the best place in the world to invest.
