Despite previously being investigated by Stroud District Council’s Monitoring Officer for racist social media activity, Councillor Debbie Young has put her foot in it again, this time for retweeting inaccurate anti-immigrant opinions. Unfortunately, these views are not uncommonly held. Jamie O’Dell explains why #Stroud deserves better.

The popular view of Stroud is as being a progressive and inclusive town that accepts people for who they are. While this is true to an extent, Alex Parnham-Cope interviews local residents and members of Stroud’s transgender community and shows there is still significant room for improvement. 🏳️‍⚧️ #transrights #stroud

Tories too often do what is cheap, not what is right, when it comes to welfare and social protections. We need to campaign to set their priorities straight.

We are rightly disgusted by the measly food hampers that have been sent out to children across the country. However, there are deeper issues at play here that we as a community need to understand in order to move beyond the fleeting outrage when this gets press attention, argues @splashwedesday.

Former Conservative Councillor Steve Dechan, whose company P14 medical was awarded two PPE contracts worth £276 million by the government earlier in the year, has been in the news again this week after the Sunday Times revealed he bought a £250k Cornwall holiday home. Neither #PPE contract was awarded through competitive tender.
