It’s all so bloody predictable and depressing 👇🏻
Trump rolling over & letting the war criminal
#Putin tickle his tummy…
(meanwhile Starmer fawns over Trump & Lammy fawns over Vance🙄)
#Ukraine #PeaceDeal #PutinsWar #SundayPolitics
An afternoon spent walking #Exeter’s wonderful #GreenCircle is an afternoon well spent…

Eighty years since #VJDay, two moving ceremonies in #Exeter today… First, the minute’s silence at #ExeterCathedral Green War Memorial at midday, then the commemoration event in Northernhay Gardens this afternoon.
Your poem was brilliant @clarebryden.bsky.social.

It’s great to see the refurbished @exeterlibrary.bsky.social #ChildrenLibrary - with its new sensory area, floating mezzanine & dedicated zones for older kids - reopening this Saturday.
Loads of fun stuff happening in #Exeter Library during the #SummerHolidays too!
#LoveLibraries #LoveExeter
Mystical porthole window.
Floating mezzanine.
The newly transformed and fully refurbished Children’s Library at Exeter Library reopens THIS SATURDAY 16 August! 🧒📚✨
The new space features a magical sensory area, floating mezzanine, and dedicated zones for older kids.

As we prepare for #VJDay80, an extraordinary segment on
#BBCBreakfast this morning on the #CallingBlighty Films...
Poignant & moving and a reminder of the debt we owe to servicemen who fought in the Far East during #WW2.
#VJDay
A beauty for today's #FoxOfTheDay , shared by @jaynebond_studiomlino on Instagram . Thank you Jayne !
Mary Oliver Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? — The Summer Day Ian Adams I laugh. I had tried to read the river. But the river read me, asking How will you live your mayfly life? — A Wild Swim with Mayflies Carol Ann Duffy What will you do now with the gift of your left life? — Snow
It's never too late to start —
Quotes brought to mind by one of the threads in this morning's sermon — with @mrjohnharvey.bsky.social at @exetercathedral.bsky.social

MPs must still oppose the cuts to #DisabilityBenefits today…
They must ask themselves this simple question - ‘In what moral universe can it be wrong to take away support from people in need today, but not for those in the same need tomorrow?’

Some #MorningReflections as I walk into the city 👇🏻
(&, no, if you’ve never experienced being in #MentalHealth Crisis, don’t come at me with your advice please…)

Another day, another #StagecoachSW service not turning up… (& then a driver without an apology).
The reality - #Stagecoach SW really are a bunch of pirates who couldn’t run a bath, never mind a bus service that reflects an actual timetable. #Exeter deserves better 🤬.
It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and here are some important contacts 👇🏻
Of course #ReachOut when you can, but please people #ReachIn to friends, family, loved ones - because when you’re in a #MentalHealth crisis, reaching out is really F****** hard.
#MentalHealthMatters
On a perfect Summer evening it would be rude not to go for a wander to take in views of #Exeter - high above #WestExe, #Exwick, #StThomas & round to #Alphington… Having time to think about stuff & to hear #ExeterCathedral & Church Bells peeling for #VEDay80 ❤️
#LoveExeter
Hope the flag will be flying high at county hall!
On this #VEDay80 I’m thinking of my Dad (JCH).
My Dad, my absolute hero, fought in the Desert and was a POW in Italy & then Austria.
At a time of such extraordinary uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to give thanks for those who have protected our freedom.
#ThankYou
In a time of uncertainty & turmoil, it’s welcome to see #DevonCountyCouncil are sponsoring #ExeterPride this year. There’s no place for hate in our city - only love…
#YouLoveWhoYouLove #Pride #ExeterPride #LoveIsLove #Exeter
Good luck today to my fellow Exeter Labour candidates for the Devon County Council Election 2025

Shut down the youth clubs.
Sell off the playing fields.
Put up "no ball games" signs.
Make public places hostile to teenagers.
Then:
"Young people, eh? Always indoors looking at their phones."
Just over 2 weeks until the next #StThomas Library #QuizNight. Hoping to get along again (and to have a better team performance than last time 🫣😂).
If you haven’t yet discovered our great local library at the heart of #Exwick & St Thomas, check it out!

Another great evening on the doors in #StThomas today, ahead of the #DevonCountyCouncil elections… Lots of support for Labour 🌹 and sending jh - a fully signed-up member of the awkward squad & champion for #ExwickAndStThomas - to #Devon County Hall on 1st May…

“This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”
Happy St George's Day 🏴

One of the reasons why I’m standing to be a Devon County Councillor is because I want to use my personal experiences to help others.
As a young person with experience of SEND issues, I’m ready to be a voice for struggling children and families waiting to get support in.
May he rest in peace and rise in glory 🙏

Happy Easter ✝️
An early start this #Easter Sunday - going to #Exeter Cathedral for The Easter Liturgy as dawn was breaking.

Another great morning on the doors in #ExwickAndStThomas, then I hopped across #Exeter to support my good friend Tony Badcott, @teamlabouruk.bsky.social’s brilliant candidate in #DuryardAndPennsylvania 🌹
Make sure our city has a strong voice at Tory-run #Devon County Council - #VoteLabour on 1 May…
