I posted a picture of Johnny Mercers voting records, and I have been blocked since... 🥳 Don't know what he dislikes about it. It's literally his voting records? Maybe some self reflection is needed. Anyhow, I'm off for a cry as I'm so upset. (deep breath, sobsob)

In 2018 Johnny Mercer took a 2nd Job (+86k not enough as an MP) for 20 hours a week and was paid equivalent to £350 an hour for this (85k a year) ... But, a Junior Dr asking for more than £14 per hour is simply wrong and he disagrees with it ... #DoubleStandards #GTTO

Johnny Mercer criticises Dr's for striking for asking for more money. JM took £49,200 to do reality TV instead of doing his job as an MP. (£86k+), as well as paying his wife £45k to be a secretary. He "profoundly disagrees" on strikes. I profoundly disagree with his greed!

I, along with others, love Plymouth, its beautiful sea and coastlines 💧 However, I have a confession I have never swam before in the waters. Wanting others to do so, it seemed hypocritical not to do it myself first. SO, today, I had my 1st Sea dip at Firestone Bay...

A good reminder of the work #PlymouthLabour did to not only keep the pools in Devonport but keep them free when the previous organisation tried to put a charge on it. 💰 Profit before people, another example of why Labour is the voice of the community.

Remember when the UK used to have swimming pools? Since 2010 the Conservatives have closed 1086. We now have 1233, which means there is one public swimming pool per 44,606 people. Criminal, really.

There are veterans in foodbanks, on our streets, not getting the mental/ physical health support after serving! Never mind the "I will put my eyebrows" on a veteran card for everyone by the end of the Year. This is outrageous and shows a complete disregard for the job if true.

When I lie to the public, they should be "more reasonable" rather than hold me to account. I'm glad to see @jemimalaing isn't accepting this drivel... This is why we need a Labour MP in the North of the city as Plymouth deserves better than flip-flopping Tory promices.

If you completely refurbish your kitchen can you say you have a new house? A rebuilt A&E is enormously welcome and needed but it is not a new hospital. Just stop. It's not about people being 'reasonable', it's about Mercer being honest. This is bordering on delusional

I'm sorry this is simply unacceptable for our Forces. The Torys have been letting down service personnel and veterans for way too long. Military housing has never been the highest of standards, but I'm afraid this below is all too common.

Love hearing @bbclaurak holding the Conservatives to account on their failure to provide the right support on childcare. Jeremy Hunt stating we need 40k more people in childcare is simply stating we have got in wrong this past 13 years in Gov't and we need to clean up the mess.
