💬 Should the law be changed so when a politician switches party it triggers an automatic by-election?
North Somerset Council now has two Reform UK councillors. Both were elected under different banners in 2023 and have since switched to Reform UK mid-term.
I’ve long believed ...the law should change: if an elected politician defects, a by-election should be called automatically. And this should apply to any political party and those who stood as independents.
At a time when trust in politics is low, switching parties without asking the public’s permission only erodes that trust further.
✈️BRISTOL AIRPORT SUBMITS PLANS TO EXPAND
Bristol airport has submitted a planning application to increase passenger throughput from 12 to 15 million passengers per year, with associated development to facilitate this.
It'll take a few weeks before the planning documents ...are all online for people to view, and when they are available there will be a public consultation where you'll be able to comment and provide feedback - i'll share that when it launches.
Applications of this nature often bring a range of emotions for different people, and i'm interested in understanding how people feel about this news at this moment in time, based on what's known currently.
So, by way of a show of emojis, how do you feel about it?
👍(like) - you're in favour of expansion
😡 (angry)- you're opposed to expansion
😮(wow) - you're undecided and waiting for more information
