Really enjoyed attending this fantastic event by @reformpoliticalads.bsky.social around regulation of political advertising. And yes, that is a #LibDemBarChart in 2nd pic! Some big challenges but if parties/candidates aren’t trustworthy in campaign, we’ll never rebuild trust in politics in general.

I noticed you used unspaced parenthetical em-dashes in your Mayoral booklet piece and its US usage. British style is a spaced en-dash. Spaced em-dash is wrong altogether and too long a break. Your mayoral booklet piece also had ‘voteing’ and ‘getting thing done’. Did you not read and check it?

Why did the Lib Dems abstain? Shocking they didn’t support this!

Why did you abstain on the Employment Rights Bill @charlotte-cane-mp.bsky.social? I understand you said at your meeting in Waterbeach you would likely support it? What is it about strengthening rights to things like sick pay whilst on probation you disagree with? Really disappointing.

Britain’s net zero economy is booming, CBI says Green sector growing at triple the rate of the UK economy, providing high-wage jobs and increasing energy security

Growing the economy and providing jobs outside the South East with wages significantly above the national average.

Apart from a culture war there is absolutely no benefit in Reform or the Tories attacking net zero. And by the election, the net zero war will have been won!

Busy weekend campaigning in the Castle division in Cambridge along with our fantastic candidate for the West Chesterton by-election, Rosy Greenlees! Lots of people bringing up #potholes, so very happy to tell them about the extra £10m from govt across Cambs and Peterboro to address this!

Out and about in the Castle division. The cold weather doesn’t stop #Labour getting out to listen to residents. Good to get a cuppa in front of the fire afterwards though!

East West Rail will open up opportunities for young people in Cambridgeshire - Cambridgeshire Sustainable Travel Alliance From the recent media coverage, you’d be forgiven for concluding that a new railway line through Cambridgeshire was a wholly bad idea. According to recent articles, East West Rail will harm the enviro...

Access to education, training and jobs in Cambridgeshire is currently unequal, in particular for younger people.

Read how we think East West Rail will open up opportunities in our new blog.

Out talking to residents in Castle division this afternoon and great to hear from lots of people voting #Labour in May. Residents know it is a binary choice between @mayordrnik.bsky.social and the Tory for Mayor, and all I spoke to wanted the former! It might be cold, but the welcome was warm! 🌹

Mayoral precept frozen, £2 bus fare cap extended, Tiger pass £1 fare offer for U25s extended, 80% of precept-funded bus routes running (more to come in spring)…so much good news from @mayordrnik.bsky.social! #TheGoodThatLabourDoes

Misleading Lib Dem bar chart from a recent Histon leaflet

Misleading Lib Dem bar chart from a recent Histon leaflet

Lib Dems trying to mislead!
There are 61 county councillors - they missed 6 Indy councillors.
Labour and some Indys are in a joint administration with the LDs - voting for 'other parties' didn't help the Tories. In fact quite the opposite!

Largest ever cash boost to turn the tide on homelessness Councils across England will receive almost £1 billion of new funding next year to tackle, reduce and prevent homelessness.

Great to see the government putting its money where its mouth is. Because all the strategies and policies and promises in the world mean nothing without the magic money tree. Especially when councils are going bankrupt under funding pressures linked to TA. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Shame the LDs don’t. Last time I checked (last week) my LD MP had been whipped to through the division lobby with the Tories more often than Labour this Parliament.

Your Liberal Democrat colleagues were equally to blame for the situation when in the austerity coalition with the Tories: speeding up the pension change timetable and pushing the pension age back even further. Rank hypocrisy! Funny how Lib Dems like to pretend they weren’t in coalition!

Conservative MPs Want to Scrap Workers' Rights to Paid Holiday and Annual Leave They are also seeking to overturn workplace protections from sexual harassment, calling them an attack on "free speech"

The Tories want to:
❌ Scrap paid holidays
❌ End rest breaks
❌ Remove the cap on excessive working hours
❌ Block protections against sexual harassment

No rights, no thanks.

Great reporting from @josiah.writes.news @bylinetimes.bsky.social

An early #Christmas present today from #Labour mayor, #NikJohnson, as he announced that the combined authority has agreed to extend the £2 bus fare cap for services across #Cambridgeshire and #Peterborough. buff.ly/3Bvr71M

Delighted to see this campaign over here. Am a huge supporter. They do such a great job in pointing out misleading content in political leaflets. And have featured Lib Dem material local to me on a handful of occasions. Shame the LDs ignore them. Their campaign is non party-political however.

Nigel Farage Teams Up With Extreme Anti-Abortion Group and Calls for Debate on Restricting Abortion Rights in UK The Reform Leader is joining forces with a US-based Christian legal group, which campaigns for abortion to be outlawed around the world

So Nigel Farage, who has repeatedly accused migrants of making women in the UK unsafe, is now refusing to act against a fellow Reform MP who was jailed for beating up his own girlfriend and is now calling for a 'debate' on restricting women's reproductive rights

Given Charlotte Cane hasn’t been replying to constituents’ emails, it’s pretty hard to know her views on this!
