    Without tough short term targets, this Government can wriggle out of its climate promises. are fighting for legally binding, 5-8 year environmental targets to hold the Government to account. We won't let them lose focus on vital climate action.

    Boris Johnson is fooling nobody. He claims to be following the people's priorities, but it's clear that today's is an assortment of power grabs & measures designed to consolidate power in the hands of Government at the expense of Parliament's constitutional role.

    Leaseholders have been betrayed by the Conservatives. Lib Dems tried 5 times in the Fire Safety Bill to prevent leaseholders from having to pay the costs of making their homes safe. But the Tories refused.

    There needs to be a full investigation into the timeline of events and who knew about Seed’s conviction. Should there need to be a by-election, the Wiltshire tax payer should NOT be footing the bill for this Conservative mess.

    I often talk about adding alt text to images, but I never actually talk about what makes good alt text, for people who are unsure. So here's my perspective as a sighted person who sometimes uses a screen reader. Tips for writing alt text for images and gifs:

    Literally 😳 just as we thought we were settling down to enjoy our gains in Wiltshire, next comes along. Wiltshire Tories had better pay for the new election rather than Wiltshire tax payer!

    BREAKING: The Conservative likely to be Wiltshire’s Police & Crime Commissioner has been told by Tory HQ that he can't take the job if he wins Monday's election count. Jonathon Seed is "disbarred" over an old conviction for drink driving. More soon.

    If true why didn’t Wiltshire Tories know this earlier? Surely Seed knew this conviction would disbar him?

    Led by Donkeys and have done it again. This is an absolutely phenomenal video, exposing how the Govt left our borders wide open to Covid-19 for a year... whilst focusing their “border controls” attention on a few migrants in the channel.

    Johnson claiming his texts with Dyson were pulling out all the stops to secure ventilators... is just misleading. The Govt shunned proper suppliers at the same time. And this isn't just "Captain Hindsight" stuff. I was pointing out the farce as it was happening in March 2020:

    There’s one certainty about in that he is eminently capable of spaffing money up the wall. Wallpapering walls of No 10 with gold while millions lost jobs/businesses and hundreds of thousands lost loved ones before their time really shows exceptionalism.

    Thanks I'm impressed that the Greens are putting up more candidates than Labour in Wiltshire! It is clear that the Lib Dems are the main opposition to the Tories.

    Hey , I made a map showing the candidates standing for the elections for Wiltshire Council .
