Martin’s Twitter
Lots of people enjoying @HantsFarmersMkt in the Broadway, Winchester. I confess I'm enjoying the superfast @hantshighways pothole repair I requested that fixed a trip hazard in the market! 🙂 pic.twitter.com/9mIWc9ubaq

A great initiative. Pls support. (In an odd parallel, after the 1666 plague a previous generation of Wintonians set up 2 charities (The Society of Natives & Society of Aliens) which became the biggest charitable funders of local apprenticeships for much of the next 250 years!) twitter.com/richardcoope/s…

And, of course, in no circumstances, should they break their commitments in a limited and specific way... twitter.com/DominicRaab/st…

Fairness in a time of austerity
Here’s the speech I made proposing the motion ‘Fairness in a time of austerity’ at the recent Liverpoool Conference. There wasn’t too much disagreement (or indeed any disagreement) that I recall, and the motion was carried overwhelmingly.
