After disrespecting Stansted residents last week by not turning up to their hustings -doubts about Issy Waite attending the Saffron Walden hustings. Is she avoiding being accountable? Don't want another absentee MP? Vote for Smita Rajesh on 4July.

"Nearly 1000 pharmacies will close by the end of 2027 and there is no guaranteed funding for Pharmacy First beyond the end of this month. This is a critical issue that needs to be addressed urgently."

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better.
RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

It’s first day back to Parliament and the kids are here in #Westminster teaching us what we need for an ambitious climate plan for the new term with a new government:

#smokingban I sincerely hope that all liberals and believers in freedom will be very careful not to support more bans on smoking in the open air particularly outside pubs and bars. We must not move willingly or without overwhelming justification to an even more nanny state.

Spare a thought for pensioners like me who live off grid and have to use lpg to heat our homes. No energy price cap for us and no winter fuel payment. I can manage.

At @ChelmsCouncil Cabinet we (again) strongly objected to Norwich-Tilbury pylons through the district. NatGrid carried out an accelerated programme of consultation for build date 2030, w/out evidence that an onshore solution is needed by that date. citylife.chelmsford.gov.uk/p…
The Survation Poll yesterday shows Lib Dem Smita Rajesh is 2.7% behind Kemi Badenoch in NW Essex constituency. We ask Labour and Green voters to lend us their votes in this crucial election to unseat Kemi Badenoch on 4th July. NW Essex deserves a better MP. Vote Smita Rajesh!

This weekend I attended the Henham village fete. Loved the friendly atmosphere, music, food, sunshine, laughter all together a heady mix.
I met many people and was delighted to be welcomed with open hearts & warm hugs & a first time holding a Ferret in my hands.

❗️HOUSING UPDATE FOR NORTH WEST ESSEX❗️
Labour's manifesto details how they plan to take away our local authorities' rights and hand them to central government. Labour have joined Conservative Kemi in ripping up local opinion and forcing poorly planned housing developments with inadequate infrastructure onto our communities.
North West Essex deserves an MP that will fight for our greenbelt land and ensure housing is built for the community. Liberal Democrat candidate Smita Rajesh @CllrSmitaRajesh is the only one with the policies and strong track record to fight for affordable, high quality housing and infrastructure in North West Essex.
Vote Smita Rajesh on July 4th, #VoteForChange

❗️BREAKING NEWS❗️
Earlier today, the Financial Times poll-of-polls has ranked Liberal Democrats second, just 4.7% short of beating Kemi Badenoch in North West Essex. In just 24 hours, both the Tory and Labour predicted vote share has fallen.
Smita Rajesh @CllrSmitaRajesh is a local experienced community champion, who will work for the people of North West Essex.
Smita is the best choice to unseat Kemi and represent a greener, safer and community-led North West Essex.
