- I don't think anyone, including the Administration, are happy with the situation however as the article doesn't mention it I guess the question that needs answering is "have any of these group leaders submitted any alternative budgets for consideration?" www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2582814...
- I'm fairly sure that @engineerlikeagirl.bsky.social and friends would be happy to see this come into reality.
- 1 of 2 Purely in the interest of clarity, there was not a debate on Air Festivals on the 12th. However there was an Urgent Question from MP Adam Dance (LibDem) on the delays to the awarding of the new medium helicopter contract and the potential closure of Leonardo helicopter site in Yeovil.
- Here’s my January in Parliament. Lots of debates, all aimed at ensuring Bournemouth East's voice is heard at the highest levels. If you spot something you care about, or there’s an issue I’ve missed, you’re always welcome to contact me. 📩 tom.hayes.mp@parliament.uk

- "I've lost count of the number of times" this MP has proudly voted in full support of Government policies which have then had to be U Turned on. A rough guess would be 13 so perhaps he should focus more on his own decision making rather than following the #Labour Whip as a wannabe front bencher.
- We're half-way there! Happy #Imbolc to one and all, marking the halfway point between the #Winter #solstice and #Spring #equinox, signalling the earth's awakening and the first stirrings of spring.

- Asking for a female relative & #Bournemouth resident ... I haven't seen any but I may well have missed them, so has anyone seen any social media or local press statements from the #Labour MPs @tomhayesmp.bsky.social or @jessicatoale.bsky.social in support of the #WASPI campaign? Thank you.

- What a disgusting decision from the #Labour Gov't, however I'm glad to see my MP for #Poole @neilduncanjordan.bsky.social is speaking out about it and I truly hope that all #Labourr MPs across the #BCP region and indeed across the UK will be following suit. #WaspiWomen www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Controversial ? Can't say that I'm overjoyed about #Driverless vehicles but then again I'm not overjoyed with the standard of some of the drivers already on our roads either. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- The ultimate Who Done It! There surely needs to be a full and thorough investigation to get to the bottom of this atrocious #scandal. It goes far beyond just being about #AsylumSeekerHotels It's about transparency in ALL aspects of allocation of #Government contracts. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Well that'll certainly put the cat amongst the few remaining pigeons. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
- Don't panic the badger made it safely to dry land on the other side, however a few "I know best" type motorists across the County were far less successful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Before a certain #Bournemouth #Labour MP tries to take credit for this with his usual PR spin, here's what the everyday non-political #bus users who responded to a public consultation held by @bcpcouncil.bsky.social & #Morebus achieved without his patronage. www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/news-hub/new...
- 🎹 For those of you who remember the duo of #Sparks from back in the 60's here's your opportunity to reacquaint yourselves with them and perhaps introduce them to a whole new & younger audience. 🎹 #Bournemouth #International #Centre. #Music #Entertainment www.bic.co.uk/events/spark...
- Another U Turn on its way from the #Labour Government this afternoon on #Business Rates which of course #Bournemouth MPs @tomhayesmp.bsky.social & @jessicatoale.bsky.social both used the Party Loyalty approach instead of dealing with the reality of what faced the #Hospitality sector across the UK.
- A chance for our #Bournemouth & #Poole MPs to scramble for #Dorset & #Somerset Air #Ambulance a vital local cause. Happy to sponsor one or all of them! @tomhayesmp.bsky.social @jessicatoale.bsky.social @neilduncanjordan.bsky.social @vikkislademp.bsky.social www.dsairambulance.org.uk/Event/seasid...
- It's getting ridiculous now, constituents deserve the democratic right to *elect* their Parliamentary representative to be upheld, so please sign the petition calling for By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
- "Parish and town councils where the limits are already in place say they have made their communities safer and encourage people to walk but some believe more enforcement is needed." So the answer to the question is YES. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

- A short 🧵I'm hoping that local MPs @tomhayesmp.bsky.social @jessicatoale.bsky.social & @vikkislademp.bsky.social will taking seriously.
- I've just emailed Ed Miliband, the Secretary of State for #Energy #Security and #NetZero and the local MP for #Poole @neilduncanjordan.bsky.social. Here's why 👇 www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/brian-b...
- Hopefully this decision won't be subject to a U Turn. £1.5 billion will be invested in #cultural organisations over a five-year period – turning the corner on under funding over the last decade and more. #Museums #Arts venues #Libraries #Heritage buildings www.gov.uk/government/n...
- Of course those who don't use it will moan & groan and call it a waste of money but there is some well overdue work being carried out by @bcpcouncil.bsky.social at my local #Bus Station in #Poole, #Dorset. So I'm giving some much needed credit where credit is due 👏 bcpprojects.net/poole-bus-st...
