Dad has got Covid. His temperature is high and oxygen levels low. There's a four hour queue to even speak to a Doctor on 111. The NHS is broken after 12 years of cuts thanks to the Tories.

Dear
@BootstrapCook
please keep doing what you are doing, you help so many people. We offer assisted lodgings to young adults coming out of care. Often they have no life skills including cooking. We always give them a copy of your book Cooking on a Bootstrap as inspiration.

I've voted! I've always supported Labour but Jess Toale has really impressed me. She listens, understands and has plenty of ideas to fix Bournemouth. And she is standing not as some sort of ego trip, but to serve. She will make a great MP.

We had to curtail knocking up in my ward because of the weather but I alone met 8 voters (out of the 28 I managed to talk to) who didn't even bother to go to the polling station because they knew they would be turned away. This is voter supression and it is morally wrong.

Our NHS is broken and it's not down to COVID, it's not down to strikes, it's down to the Tories deliberately running down the NHS over the last 12 years. I knew Sam, it's disgusting that he had to wait over 13 hours for an ambulance.

I've done my weight loss via Slimming World and whilst it has it's pros and cons, the biggest pro is that it teaches you not to trust the food industry. Something that is labelled as 'healthy' or 'natural' can still be processed and can still contain huge amounts of sugar.

Labour need to do far more re mental health in schools, moving back to a broader curriculum and away from controlling schools. There's an interesting thread here about how a culture at a school can be anxiety inducing
I’ve been talking to young people who have struggled with school attendance. Sometimes called school refusers, or phobics, or those with emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA). Here’s what I’ve learnt. 1/

My wife is Swiss, is the secretary of a small local charity, a member of the Salvation Army & a teacher at a specialist unit looking after students who have been expelled from mainstream schooling. She wouldn't qualify to live here in the future. We need a General Election now.
Immigration cannot undercut British workers.
It’s just common sense.

One Bournemouth West candidate

has knocked on thousands of doors, holds packed public meetings (nice cupcakes btw!) & promises to hold regular surgeries if elected. The other only attends private parties, has a history of avoiding hustings & doesn't hold surgeries.
Thank you everyone who came to our campaign event this morning at the Winton& Moordown British Legion.
I’ve been overwhelmed by the support I’ve had since I was selected a year ago. There are so many people motivated for change.

New voter ID comes in soon - but don't let that put you off voting - that's what THEY want! 4th May sees BCP Council elections, the most important local elections for years - sort out your voter ID or register for a postal vote (doesn't need any ID).
Voters will need to show an accepted form of photographic identification at this year’s local elections.
It may seem early, but checking now means you will be ready to vote in May.
