After talking to residents in Bridge last weekend, our @IpswichLabour team moved 'next door' to Stoke Park today. Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak to us. We had some really important conversations and it is exactly why we are out talking to people all year round.

Years of inertia re. the Orwell Bridge and a Northern Bypass is hurting Ipswich and Suffolk. That's why I'm urging the Government to elevate it out of the local political quagmire, and give it the attention it deserves by designating it as nationally significant infrastructure.

@Suff_highways When will this meet your intervention criteria? When the cold weather hits, water freezes? On-going for months, and wasn't dealt with during the recent round of work along that road. Residents are rightly concerned about safety for all road users. @tblacker7

Was listening to a topic about child poverty today and how there are 150,000 kids who leave school everyday and don’t have a proper home to go to. Anyway big protest tomorrow to try and make sure kids getting a free farm worth more than 3 million don’t pay any tax on it 👍

I would be prepared to accept the abolition of Inheritance Tax on condition that we tax the wealthy properly while they are alive.

A hard trip to make this morning. He stared at me from that position the whole way. Hope he loves his new home and his loving new owners. Thanks for an amazing 5 years Teddy 💔

Down in that there London for work, so took a different type of selfie 🤨 Some interesting approaches to brightening the public domain spaces…

The right to peaceful protest is an incredibly important part of any functioning democracy. When you pick up a brick, set light to a building, beat up bystanders or attack the police it is no longer peaceful protest. It is thuggery. We are better than this.

How to run a place down.... Don't cut the grass often enough, cut it and leave clippings behind, seeds take root in kerbsides This is the result. All over Ipswich. How does this save any money or makes ANY sense? Penny pinching costs money. @Suff_highways

🚨IT outage tips: - if on EMIS, try BC mode - you can use local non networked apps like Docman to pull critical information - use a simple GP notes proforma to keep records for uploading later - switch off incoming triage systems for now - update patient facing sites #GP #NHS

And this, right here (Mass windows outage worldwide), is why any tech company having an effective monopoly is a bad idea. Single point of failure for so many companies, processes & systems. Standardise by all means, but proliferation within standard protocols is the way forward
