Disappointing to learn that all of Devon will be in Tier 2 of the new covid restrictions, I'm especially worried for the impact on hospitality as a result
Hopefully if everyone sticks to the rules we can be out of tier 2 in a few weeks

Incredibly proud of @operationencomp and how it has transformed our policing approach by better connecting with teachers on a daily basis to help children affected by domestic abuse #AwardWinning #NearlyInEveryForce

“We argue that the intention of government is to claim support for high farming and food standards whilst preparing to torpedo the same.”
22 farming groups want food standards enshrined in law. Devon Tories don’t.
"United in concern" - 22 groups say UK government has "not gone far enough" to protect British farmers from cheap food trade deals post #Brexit

There have been 421 cases of COVID-19 in Plymouth over the last seven days. Please do your bit to help us all stay safe.
Stay at home as much as possible, wash your hands often, wear a face covering and keep your distance from others.

Last chance for Devon's Tory MPs to back our farmers and vote for Lords amendments to Agri Bill on Wednesday.
Don't sacrifice their futures for a trade deal with the US!
Our letter to all 10 of Devon's Tories:

“You are out of your depth. Please resign”
The plate protest against @SelaineSaxby’s atrocious voting record and even more appalling comments, has begun outside her #Barnstaple #Conservative Office.

Plymouth City Council cabinet member @Jon2aylor says the idea that councils already have the money to fund free school meals is "a load of rubbish". The Government says local authorities should use a £63m fund allocated in the summer.

BREAKING:
A petition calling for Selaine Saxby MP (North Devon) to resign has now reached 3,000 signatures. It follows her remarks mocking local eateries who have stepped up to provide free school meals, saying she hopes they won’t be seeking any further government support.

I honestly don't understand how someone could look at the proposal to ensure children can have meals and saying nope not for me
Truly shocking
Not surprising to see nearly all Devon's Tory MPs voted not to extend free school meals to hungry children during the pandemic winter.
Well done @AnneMarieMorris for showing some conscience and supporting the motion prompted by @MarcusRashford's campaign. @neil_parish didn't vote

Tonight’s immigration bill votes were asking for just a little compassion. Yet Tory rank & file loyally voted DOWN plans to *wait for it*:
🧒🏻 help child refugees left on own
🔐 stop locking people up indefinitely &
📝 give EU citizens piece of paper to prove their settled status

This just seems a bit wrong, most universities stop teaching some time before 22 Dec, if you're going to make all students leave on one day why make it after the end of most uni terms?
And if this is the plan, why did they send students back to begin with

"Liberal Democrats absolutely back the case for a short circuit-breaker."
@EdwardJDavey says the Lib Dems support Labour's push for stricter #COVID19 measures - adding that it is "extraordinary" that the govt has 'ignored' its senior scientists.

Lib Dem leader @EdwardJDavey says the UK government is making a "false trade-off" between public health and the economy.
He adds that countries which have successfully got #COVID19 under control now have 'flourishing' economies.

As a vet I'm bitterly disappointed Tory MPs voted against protecting #AnimalWelfare in future trade deals.
Further confirmation that Tory promises are not worth the manifesto they're written in.
Animals, consumers, farmers and the environment will all suffer. #AgricultureBill
On Monday, Conservative MPs must stand by their election promises to protect our animal welfare standards and support British farmers in trade deals.
@LibDems MPs and @BritishSave are working to prevent low welfare imports such as chlorinated chicken and hormone treated beef.

Tonight I voted against the #10pmCurfew tonight. Govt refused to allow MPs to amend it to make it safer4public and better 4business despite SAGE saying it made marginal impact on virus. Now we need action that will actually make a difference,& proper support for businesses.
