Independent Ward Councillor for Aspley & Woburn, rabble rouser, Central Bedfordshire Council. No-one seems to follow me, but that's probably for the best.

Booked an @AvantiWestCoast ticket from Milton Keynes to Manchester this weekend. Forgot to book my bike onboard, so turned to @AvantiWestCoast twitter.
Sent a message. Got a response almost immediately. Issue resolved and bike booked in minutes.

Massively impressed with Serenity on @LNRailway's twitter team, who dealt with a customer service problem promptly that the email team failed to sort out over many exchanges/days. Thanks Serenity!

I wonder how @BimAfolami proposes @letstalkcentral fills the £39M black hole left by his Tory colleagues? They proposed planting magic beans; borrowing money to pay for day to day services.
Bim says send him a message. Maybe that message is @alistrathern? #GeneralElection2024

Alice manages to pack a massive number of pertinent facts into a feq minutes. You can watch these videos three times and still not take it all in!

So much wonderful history in @10DowningStreet!
@ravbillan Is this your patch?
My son often asks about your running streak. It is about 100 days more than his @DoodleMaths streak, and I have told him he will give up before you!

50 years ago today, #Rutland temporarily lost its independence.
On 1 April 1974, Leicestershire County Council became responsibly for many local government services.
In 1997, @rutlandcouncil took back control.
We build bridges where others burnt them.
Checking out a crossing in Woburn Sands where MK council officers are drawing up plans for improvement.
Thanks to @JBaker_Ind for working with us on this as Central Beds is across the road. #danesboroughandwalton

The end of a coffee morning in Woburn Sands today hearing about residents issues over a cuppa & cake 🍰☕️
Rukhsana & I listened to local issues, and Emily talked about national problems. Great that @JBaker_Ind could drop in and help with cross-county concerns.
Twice visited and agree with @history_alice, well worth a visit.

Word reaches me that one @letstalkcentral Tory carrying out a "witch hunt" to discover who leaked laughable Jack and the Beanstalk "magic beans" budget amendment.
"It's not well thought out, and not very Conservative", one said privately. No, it wasn't.

The Central Bedfordshire Conservatives are proposing to use magic beans to pay for £2.5m of @letstalkcentral spending each year going forward. Residents will, I'm sure, be hugely reassured.
Let's all hope for some good weather.

One local Conservative told me, "It may not be a real job, but it's a distraction."
🔵Many congratulations to Councillors @JohnFullerOBE and @JGJamieson on your appointments to the House of Lords. You will both be great advocates for local government in Parliament👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Today I was the only woman sat in a pure mathematics masters-level class. The class is supposedly the ‘hardest class’ in the maths department at my university, according to the male lecturer.
A thread 🧵 (1/7)
It makes the questions put by some @letstalkcentral opposition councillors sensible...
