Pleasure to attend a reception recognising the City of Hull and District Rugby League volunteers and sponsors this afternoon. I was asked to say a few words on what grassroots sports meant to me. I am a big believer in the benefit of sport, so pleased to be part of this event.

Budget full council. Lib Dem budget is working for the priorities of the residents of Hull. Yet again we are hearing how out of touch Labour are, criticising the hugely popular 'Love your neighbourhood' scheme that has made a difference in areas across the city.

Relief that there was no threat from the incident last night, but I am sure it was an alarming disruption for those involved. I would like to thank all those who responded, from the team at St Stephen's, emergency services, council teams and others. www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-ea...

In Parliament today @tomgordonld.bsky.social questioned the Govt on funding for roads and infrastructure. The Govt admitted Hull and East Yorkshire will lose out on millions. This area has now been let down by both Labour and the Conservatives on this funding. Take a watch.

Visit today to see the Hull and East Yorkshire RSPCA branch. Thank you to Fred Owen and Matthew Wright for talking me through the work and challenges for the organisation across the region. Keen to see closer working between the council and the RSPCA going forward.

After news of delays to the A63 Castle Street project broke, I wrote to National Highways and the Government. Today I will be meeting with National Highways. I’ll be raising the concerns that have been raised by residents and businesses. www-hulldailymail-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.hull...

Today I attended the final University of Hull Winter graduation of this season. The University is the reason I am in this area and the foundations the place has given me has served me very well these last twenty plus years.

Great options for people who want to go out and socialise without feeling the need to always drink alcohol. Some great bars shown and listed in the article too 👏🏼

On Monday the government was saying there were too many politicians and proposing getting rid of councils. At the end of the week it is creating 30 new Labour peers. Maybe it is just elected politicians it doesn't like? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Managed to pop in and see the Hull City pop up exhibition at Central library. A nicely put together telling of the club's history. Pleased I was able to make this happen. Hopefully bigger one can follow. I know some would be keen to see a museum of sport in Hull. Wouldn't that be something?

Don't agree with a lot of what Andrea Jenkyns says, but I do agree when she says the Tory Party was now "beyond salvage". I don't, though, want to see her become mayor of Greater Lincolnshire. It's all the more reason to elect a Lib Dem mayor this side of the Humber. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Enjoyable evening celebrating 200 years of the RSPCA, with an event in Hull. There's a local connection, with William Wilberforce being involved with the formation of the organisation. You got a real sense tonight of the important role the charity plays in the community.
